Made Simply.
Shared Generously.
Ampelos is the Greek word for vine—a name rooted in the ancient story of wine born from love. Guided by a single vineyard in Santa Barbara and shaped with a light hand in the cellar, our wines honor the spirit of philos: friendship, affection, and the simple pleasure of gathering with those we love.
âť‹ Sustainably FarmedWe work with a single Sta. Rita Hills vineyard farmed organically and with respect for soil, water, and people.
âť‹ Clean and MinimalistWe intervene in the cellar only when necessary, allowing each block, vintage, and variety to speak clearly.
âť‹ Balanced and ElegantFreshness, balance, and restraint create wines that belong at the table and invite another glass.
âť‹ Family Owned and OperatedIndependent and family-owned, we make wine personally and patiently, with enduring relationships.
PHILOS • THE LOVE OF FRIENDS
Great wine begins with the vine, but its meaning begins at a table surrounded by loved ones.
The Sta. Rita Hills are our home. Cooling coastal winds, distinctive soils, and thoughtful organic farming produce wines with freshness, balance, and a clear sense of place. In the cellar, we work simply so that character can remain intact.
