Visitors come from across the country to savor the region’s year-round sunshine and temperate climate. In fact, Buellton’s unique weather is the secret behind the world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The combination of warm days and cool nights is just the right balance for bringing out the full potential of these delicate berries.
Buellton’s mild climate has also been known to bring out a sense of adventure too. Visitors looking to immerse themselves in nature can hike, bike or horseback ride through stunning scenic trails. Another great way to spend an afternoon is to explore the budding botanic garden at River View Park, enjoy an up close and personal experience with an ostrich or emu, or play a round at Zaca Creek Golf Course, located along the Santa Ynez River. In addition, Buellton is just a short car ride away from the ocean where you can surf, swim and sun to your heart’s content, and from quaint surrounding towns like, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez and Solvang, the Danish Capitol of America.

Step into a brand new guided hiking experience that goes beyond our traditional vineyard walks. This route takes you along the Black Bear Trail, where you’ll encounter steady inclines that reward you with breathtaking panoramic views at every turn, reaching 1,508 ft. Along the way, our team will bring the landscape to life, sharing stories, insights, and a deeper connection to the land.
Explore the full trail with us or turn back at the Black Bear Block for a shorter journey. Expect about 1.5 hours for the full walk, or around 45 minutes for the out-and-back, with a 269 ft elevation gain. The trail features hard-packed soil, plenty of elevation to keep things exciting, and views that make every step worth it.
After the hike, head back to the winery to relax with a leisurely lunch and a glass of Zaca Mesa & TREAD wines included with your ticket!
