Vine Hill Estate
Estate + Tasting Room Design
The Brief
A 40-acre vineyard estate in the Santa Ynez Valley with a residence, guest house, and tasting barn. The clients wanted one unified design language connecting every structure — from the primary suite to the barrel room.

The Vision
We drew the palette from the vineyard itself — the dusty green of the vines, the warm gold of the hills in summer, the dark earth after rain. Reclaimed French oak beams span the tasting barn. The same oak, milled thinner, became the dining table in the main house. One material, two expressions.
