McKinney Family Vineyards
This small family of three made their dreams a reality when they moved to the Santa Ynez Valley in 1994, long before most of today’s vineyards had even been planted, and before the iconic movie Sideways was filmed. Little did they know then, the alluring pull of vines and fine wine would soon lead them into the wine industry.
