Santa Barbara County Vintners Foundation

Since 1986, the Foundation has provided scholarships to local students, and today provides scholarships to a graduating senior in each of the six public schools in our viticultural areas. The Foundation has been a strong supporter of the Santa Ynez Valley's Arts Outreach and People Helping People, most recently being a major sponsor of their Vino de Sueños program. The Silent Auctions have also provided funding to Santa Barbara's Unity Shoppe as well as consistent support of San Marcos High School's Kids Helping Kids program benefitting the Unity Shoppe. They also benefit the Food Bank of Santa Barbara, a non-profit organization working to eliminate hunger by providing food, education and other resources to a network of hunger-relief charities and their communities.
