Meet Sara & Joey
Life happens over a bottle of wine: you fall in love, celebrate a birth, mourn someone’s passing, begin, end, plan, listen… dream. Transcendence celebrates the journey you take with a great bottle of wine.
Transcendence Wines was our dream. We are a small, husband-and-wife-run winery dedicated to making exceptional cool-climate Syrah, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay from some of the finest vineyards in Santa Barbara County’s acclaimed Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Rita Hills winegrowing regions. We make our wines with care and integrity, in small lots and limited quantities, and in a style that embodies what we love about these grapes—their capacity for structure, nuance, complexity, elegance, and ageing potential.
We are also a winery with a purpose. Wine has a way of weaving itself into life’s most meaningful moments—celebrations, milestones, and the everyday gatherings that become cherished memories. For us, creating wine is about more than the craft; it is about being part of the stories people carry with them.

“The bottom line is: a good wine is simply a wine that tastes good to you. The rest is nonsense. Sometimes, though, you want to do something nice and give wine to someone you like, so you have to bite the bullet and think — what wine do I think everyone would like? Pinot Noirs, for example, tend to be subtle and light. What if you found one that grabbed you by the taste buds and inundated you with rich aromas and flavors? What if the winemaker managed that every year with all his Pinot Noirs and set the bar high with all his varietals — Syrahs bold and spicy, tangy Sangiovese, clear and full-bodied Chardonnays and all the rest — and did it without charging Napa or even Paso Robles prices? Then congratulations: you’ve found Transcendence Winery! Transcendence makes wines you can enjoy or share, and you’ll never regret a dollar you’ve spent!
