Nestled in the heart of California’s Central Coast, Refugio Ranch is a 415-acre estate within the Santa Ynez Valley AVA. Once home to cowboys and cattle ranching, this historic land has been thoughtfully transformed by the Gleason Family into a vineyard that honors its rich past while embracing a new chapter in winemaking.

​

With 26 carefully planted acres amid rolling hills and ancient oak trees, the vineyard remains deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Our family believes that true wine excellence comes from a profound sense of place—what the French call terroir. It is this connection to the land that gives our wines their soul. At Refugio Ranch, we invite you to experience wines that reflect the beauty, history, and untamed spirit of this remarkable estate.
