Wines with a true sense of place
Presqu’ile is a family-owned winery in the Santa Maria Valley, dedicated to crafting exceptional, cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah from Santa Barbara County. We designed and planted Presqu’ile Vineyard to create a diverse tapestry of blocks that feature an array of clones, exposures, and elevations. The resulting wines are produced using both estate fruit and high-quality fruit from select vineyard sites across the Santa Maria Valley and Santa Rita Hills. Presqu’ile aims to capture the true essence of its vineyards, vintages, and unique senses of place.
1st Course
Blue Corn Fried Calamari
Green Chile Vinaigrette and Spicy Lemon Tartar Sauce
Wine-Presqu’ile Chardonnay, Santa Maria Valley
“Our 2021 Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay displays the complexity and poise we have come to expect from the deep, sandy soils of western Santa Maria Valley. We employ traditional, natural techniques - native yeast fermentation, native malolactic conversion and sur lie aging. Practices which elevate and enhance the distinctive character of this region, accenting its fine balance between richness and vivacity.”
2nd Course
Red Chile-Honey Glazed Salmon
Black Bean Sauce and Jalapeno Crema
Wine-Presqu’ile Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley
“Our 2022 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir offers what we consider the hallmarks of our AVA: balance, complexity and the ever-present "Santa Maria spice". We prize the complex combination of fruit, earth and spice, the qualities which made us fall in love with this region. When compared to our single vineyard offerings, this wine is less tightly wound, offering early enjoyment without lacking the bones to age.”
Entrée

Wine-Presqu’ile Syrah, Presqu’ile Vineyard
“This juicy and concentrated Syrah from the Presqu'ile vineyard is loaded with flavors of blackberries, dark cherry, cracked black pepper, dried herbs, and roast meat. We incorporated 25% whole clusters into the mix to add texture, weight, and signature steamy spice to the wine. Inspired by the Northern Rhone but California in spirit.” 95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
