Evans Ranch Winery

From sundown to sunrise, our harvest crews have been resilient in their ability to hand-pick all the grapes for our Evan’s Ranch Wines. It’s not a glamorous job, but our harvest crews show up night after night and don’t stop until the job is done. Snakes, skunks, spiders, and earwigs are all part of the audience and going home sticky is part of the deal.... Show some love to the real MVPs of harvest in the comments below! See more

At 1030AM, it was 57 and misting with a heavy, foggy marine layer. By 1130A it was clear blue skies and 78. The epitome of Sta. Rita Hills weather this time of year! www.evansranchwines.com

Fermentation is a process that dates back over 10,000+ years ago. The frothing is a result of the carbon dioxide gas evolving. We ferment our Pinot Noir and Syrah in small, open-top tanks with daily punch downs. The winery is incredibly busy & fragrant this time of year! The tasting room patio is safely open for you to enjoy a tasting, wines by the glass, or bottle. We look forward to pouring for you soon. Want to order wine from home? You can do that, too.... www.evansranchwines.com #friday #fermentation #wine

#tbt to the man himself, Evan. Dan H. Gainey’s great-grandfather is who Evan’s Ranch is thoughtfully named after. Timeless. Classic. Eloquent.... Those are a few words used to describe both him and the ultra-premium wines made with his name on the label. Learn more about the Gainey family & Evan’s Ranch wines by scheduling your private tasting with us.

Fall is here, but the endless summer continues... The forecast this week calls for clear blue skies, golden sunshine, and a 100% chance of WINE in your glass. Life’s short, enjoy the good stuff!... #WineWednesday

Nothing like a cool, foggy morning to process fruit! Phase of harvest is well underway and the winery is buzzing with grapes at different stages of fermentation. Soon, all of our 2020 vintage will be put to rest in barrels. Our team not only hand-harvests everything, but we also sort the fruit by hand before it's dropped into our de-stemming machine. From there, the most perfect grapes fall into their vessel to begin the fermentation process.

There IS such a thing as a perfect day, and it includes a wine tasting in our garden. Find us waiting for you on the corner of Grand & Alamo Pintado in the yellow building by the flagpole, in the heart of Los Olivos. We’re here from 11A-6P with our last tasting at 5:30P. See you soon!

We can't wait for the day we're able to welcome you back into our tasting room in Los Olivos! Santa Barbara County is making progress towards allowing patrons back indoors, however wineries and tasting rooms still must operate the way we have been -- outdoors. We are OPEN 11A-6P today and all weekend long with a shaded patio. We offer tastings, wines by the glass and bottle, wine club pickups, and the perfect location to people watch!... Won't you join us? No reservation needed. 2901 Grand Avenue | Los Olivos, CA www.evansranchwines.com

With the out and the temps rising, we’ve got swag that is sure to keep you looking and feeling cool all year long! From golf polos and drink coasters, to sunglasses and Dad hats, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy. Pick up your Evan’s Ranch merchandise on your next visit to our Los Olivos tasting room. We’ll have wine waiting for you!

Our wines are made from 100% hand-harvested grapes in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. The miracle of this region’s microclimate began about 20 million years ago during the Miocene Epoch, as marine sediment was deposited deep under the Pacific Ocean. Due to tectonic plate movements, mountains rose out of the ocean in a north-south orientation. Over a timespan of twelve million years, the mountains broke from the plate and turned clockwise, creating the most clearly delineated tr...ansverse range, from Alaska to Chile, on the Pacific Coast.

Fall is here, it's #WineWednesday, and here is a close up shot of a Chardonnay cluster that is being sampled. Before we harvest our fruit, we take samples from different blocks in the vineyard back to the laboratory. There, we measure things like the brix (sugar) levels, pH, TA, and we are ultimately looking for certain levels to indicate the perfect ripeness. That's how we determine when we pick our grapes!
