Vineyard & Ranch Hike with Wine Tasting
When: Sat Feb 21, 2026 at 10:00 AM
Where: Folded Hills - Winery Ranch Farmstead, 2323 Old Coast Hwy, Gaviota, CA 93117, USA
Why:
Join us for a guided hike through our organic vineyard to the private ranch, where you'll collect fresh eggs, mingle with George the camel and Zazu the zebra, and enjoy a serene wine tasting at the lake dock. End your excursion at the Farmstead with a chance to meet - and maybe hold - some of our newest members of the Folded Hills family: our Kunekune piglets!
We recommend dressing in layers, with boots and long pants such as jeans or leggings.
This is an easy-to-moderate three-mile hike. If you prefer to keep it shorter, we can give you a ride back at the halfway point.

Winter Purisima Mountain Vineyard Tour
When: Sat Feb 21, 2026 at 02:00 PM
Where: Purisima Mountain Vineyard
Why:
Winter in the vineyard is a magical season. Join us for Between the Vines: PMV Winter Tour — a guided winter hike through our iconic Purisima Mountain Vineyard.
While the vines rest, the vineyard is quietly at work. On this journey with Steve Beckmen, you’ll learn why winter is essential to vine health, how biodynamic practices support a thriving ecosystem, and the stories behind the land and the people who care for it year-round.
After the hike, enjoy sips of PMV wines as Steve shares a behind-the-scenes look at Santa Barbara County’s first certified biodynamic vineyard — and the place that shapes so much of our wine’s character.
