In 1962, Daniel C. and Daniel J. Gainey founded Gainey Vineyard. They are committed to farming their vineyards in a safe and sustainable way and were first to explore the diversity of both the warmer eastern Santa Ynez Valley (Bordeaux varieties) and the cooler western Sta. Rita Hills (Burgundian varieties). Today, third-generation owner Daniel H. Gainey continues his family’s mission. Winemaker Kirby Anderson, Burgundian variety winemaker joined Gainey in 1997 after spending several years as assistant winemaker for Bernardus and La Crema.
