Starting in 2025, we have officially partnered with Folded Hills Winery Ranch and Farmstead to help bring one of Santa Barbara's Best wineries straight into your Wanderlust Luxury Rental . About Folded Hills Folded Hills Winery Ranch and Farmstead is built on the principles of legacy, quality, family, and a hands-on approach to winemaking. Kim and Andrew Busch honor their family's past and present by naming their wines after their heritage. They believe in letting the land guide them in deciding what works best for their winemaking process and the grapes themselves. Their winemaking approach is very hands-off, allowing the grapes to process naturally. The ultimate goal is to produce the finest wine and food using only organic products. Folded Hills Winery is the first winery you approach when you enter Santa Barbara's wine country. It is also the closest winery to the ocean. How does this Partnership Benefit you?
