SANTA BARBARA WINE COMMUNITY CRISIS FUND

Each bottle of wine that carries the name Santa Barbara County tells a story. Some of the most important stories are the ones we rarely hear—stories of the people behind the wine, quietly facing hardship...

• A vineyard worker whose child is suddenly hospitalized.

• A tasting room staffer facing an unexpected medical bill. 

• A cellar hand recovering from injury with no safety net.

These are real moments, real people. Now, it’s our responsiblity to show up for them.

Our Foundation is proud to introduce the Santa Barbara Wine Community Crisis Fund—a new initiative to provide emergency assistance to individuals working across our local wine industry. Be it a medical emergency, a natural disaster, or an unexpected life event, this fund will be a lifeline. 

Your support will help our foundation act fast when the next crisis hits. Please give today to help launch this vital resource.

We are in unfortunate times with political and economic pressures pulling communities apart and this is our chance to band together, reminding everyone what 'community' really means.

If you’ve ever been touched by a warm welcome at a tasting room or raised a glass of Santa Barbara wine with loved ones, please consider giving now.

Help us make sure no one is left behind when a crisis comes to their door.
