Shoestring Vineyard & Winery
Shoestring is located between Solvang and Buellton. It is a boutique winery with 13 acres planted. However, there are 63 acres to enjoy while admiring the transverse mountain range that influences our diverse AVA.
We focus on estate grown varietals and red wines aged in French oak. Our Pinot Grigio and south of France style Grenache Rose are clean, refreshing additions to our repertoire.
Well supervised kids and dogs on a leash are welcome! You may bring food and we offer a variety of cheeses, meats and more.
You may reserve a table on our beautiful grounds in one of our picnic – perfect spots.
