Over two decades of “Art Inspired Wines”, Artiste’s blended wines are inspired by the artists we love. Taste in Santa Ynez daily 11am-5pm.

Five kids. One weekend getaway. And two completel Five kids. One weekend getaway.And two completely different wines.Today I had the pleasure of hosting this wonderful couple for a private blending workshop at Artiste. While taking a well-earned break from the beautiful chaos of raising five children, they spent the afternoon blending wine, creating art, and simply enjoying time together.Using Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, each crafted a unique blend that reflected their own palate and personality. No collaboration. No compromises. Just two different expressions created side-by-side.Then came my favorite part.They hand-sketched their own wine labels, transforming each bottle into a personal keepsake that tells the story of this day together.The wine will eventually be gone.The memory won’t.Five kids at home.Two custom wines.One unforgettable date.❤️🍷🎨#ArtisteWinery#WineBlendingWorkshop#DateNight#SantaYnezValley#WineAndArt

Meet the Cheeto Lady. Twenty years ago, Tammy Esp Meet the Cheeto Lady.Twenty years ago, Tammy Esposito walked into Artiste as a wine club member. Little did we know she would become one of the most beloved characters in our story.Over the years, Tammy has supported Artiste in a way few people ever have. She’s purchased more large-format bottles—6L and 9L giants—than anyone else. She loved the winery so much that eventually she asked if she could help out on weekends and at events. We happily said yes.Today, you’ll find Tammy at Artiste almost every Saturday (at least until football season takes over her weekends).But most people don’t know her as Tammy.They know her as “The Cheeto Lady.”Years ago, Tammy introduced what has become one of Artiste’s most legendary pairings: Cheetos and big red wine. It sounds ridiculous until you try it. Then suddenly you’re wondering why nobody told you sooner. To this day, guests walk into the tasting room asking specifically for “the Cheeto pairing.”That’s the kind of impact Tammy has had around here.Recently, one of her biggest fans created this incredible sketch of a single Cheeto while sitting at Artiste and gifted it to her. Tammy’s wife had it professionally framed, creating what may be the most perfect piece of Artiste memorabilia ever made.A framed Cheeto.For the Cheeto Lady.Twenty years of friendship, laughter, wine, giant bottles, unforgettable pairings, and showing up for a small business you believe in.People like Tammy are the reason Artiste exists.Cheers to you, Tammy. ❤️🍷#ArtisteWinery #CheetoLady #WineClubLife #SantaYnezValley #WineAndFriends LargeFormatWine WinePairing CheersToCommunity

What happens when art stops sitting still… and sta What happens when art stops sitting still… and starts breathing?For a few surreal seconds, the walls of Artiste Winery & Gallery disappeared.The paintings moved.The characters awakened.And the line between wine, cinema, imagination, and reality completely dissolved.Merrie Okie’s Poured in Color gallery almost felt like it came to life on its own… as if the spirit of the artwork and her own powerful creative energy field stepped right out of the canvas and into motion. There’s something playful, emotional, wild, and beautifully human pulsing through her work that made this experiment feel strangely real.This isn’t just a reel.It’s a glimpse into where storytelling is going next.And while we deeply believe wine should always remain something crafted by human hands, heart, soul, and connection… this is simply us having fun with AI and creativity in a world that could use a little more wonder, laughter, and imagination right now.Liquid art. Living art.And honestly… we’re just getting started. 🍷✨#ArtisteWinery #MerrieOkie #AIArt #CinematicArt #WineAndArt
Day two in Coronado was even bigger. Our same Art Day two in Coronado was even bigger.Our same Artiste crew — Julie and Joe Overstreet alongside John Caron — spent Saturday pouring wines for hundreds of guests inside the VIP Lounge at the Coronado Art & Wine Festival. With live music playing, incredible food being served, and people dancing under a perfect San Diego sky, the entire day felt like exactly the kind of experience Artiste was built for.Wine, art, creativity, conversation, community, sunshine, and human connection all in one place. The alignment between Artiste and this festival couldn’t have been more natural.We poured sparkling, whites, Rosé, and bold red blends all afternoon while introducing so many new people to what we do in Santa Ynez. The response was incredible, and it’s clear to us that San Diego is becoming an important focus and growing community for Artiste moving forward.Huge gratitude again to everyone who stopped by the lounge, shared a glass with us, purchased wine, and supported the event. Coronado showed us a beautiful weekend, and this is only the beginning.We’ll absolutely be back.#ArtisteWinery #CoronadoArtAndWineFestival #SanDiegoWine #WineAndArt #SantaYnezWine
What a night in Coronado. A few weeks ago, Artist What a night in Coronado.A few weeks ago, Artiste was honored to be the official winery sponsor for the VIP kickoff evening of the Coronado Wine & Art Festival benefiting the Coronado Schools Foundation. This reel is a little glimpse into an unforgettable evening filled with wine, conversation, community, and creativity.Alongside an incredible team — Julie Overstreet, Joe Overstreet, and John Caron — we had the pleasure of hosting nearly 120 VIP guests throughout the night. We poured everything from sparkling wines and crisp whites to Rosé and our signature red blends while guests explored the event and connected over art and wine.One of the highlights of the evening was watching guests personalize their purchased bottles with hand wax dipping — turning each bottle into a memory and keepsake from the night. Even better, a portion of proceeds from the magnums sold during the event went directly back to support the Coronado Schools Foundation.We were also honored to have the Mayor of Coronado stop by and share in the celebration.A huge thank you to Inge for connecting us with this special event and helping bring Artiste into such a passionate and welcoming community. Nights like this remind us why we do what we do — bringing people together through wine, art, and shared experiences.Cheers, Coronado. We’ll be back.#ArtisteWinery #CoronadoWineFestival #CoronadoSchoolsFoundation #SantaYnezWine #WineAndArt
What a beautiful Saturday celebrating the opening What a beautiful Saturday celebrating the opening of Poured in Color with artist Merrie Okie at Artiste in Santa Ynez.The gallery was filled with color, laughter, wine, old friends, new faces, and so much love from Merrie’s incredible community of supporters. Guests tasted all six newly released wines featuring her artwork, had bottles signed by the artist, and experienced the collection the way it was meant to be experienced—through art, conversation, and shared moments.Thank you to everyone who came out and made the opening such a special day for all of us.Poured in Color is now on exhibition at Artiste through July 19. 🍷🎨✨#ArtisteWinery #PouredInColor #MerrieOkie #SantaYnez #ArtAndWine

Big week at Artiste. Miles and I spent the last we Big week at Artiste. Miles and I spent the last week blending, bottling, organizing the cellar, running pumps, forklift training, and bringing five brand-new wines to life for our next Wine Club release.One full day was dedicated entirely to building two new red blends—layering texture, aromatics, structure, and personality until the wines finally spoke back to us. The rest of the week was all hands on deck getting these wines bottled and prepared for release.This bottling feels like an important moment for the business and the brand. These are some of the most expressive and visually exciting releases we’ve created in years, featuring the wildly imaginative mixed-media artwork of Merrie Okie across every label for her upcoming exhibition, “Poured in Color”.Color, fantasy, memory, emotion, texture—both in the glass and on the bottle.Can’t wait to share these with our members. 🍷✨#ArtisteWinery #PouredInColor #WineClubRelease #SantaBarbaraWine #MerrieOkie

What a night at Laguna College of Art and Design. What a night at Laguna College of Art and Design.Seeing students, collectors, faculty, wine lovers, and artists all gathered around these bottles reminded us why this project matters so much. The Artiste x LCAD collaboration was never just about putting artwork on labels—it was about giving emerging artists a real-world platform, real-world exposure, and the opportunity to see their work living beyond gallery walls.Each wine in this collection became a conversation between art and flavor. Every bottle carried a story, a vision, and the energy of the artist behind it. Watching guests connect emotionally with both the wines and the artwork was incredibly moving.To these talented young artists: thank you for trusting us with your work. Your creativity brought these wines to life in ways we could never have imagined.And to everyone who attended, supported, tasted, collected, and shared this project—you helped prove that art is not a luxury. It’s a living experience.Together, we raise the first glass. 🍷🎨#ArtisteWinery #LCAD #ArtAndWine #WineLabelArt #SantaBarbaraWine EmergingArtists ArtCollector WineLovers ContemporaryArt LagunaBeach ArtInspiredWine LimitedEditionWine DrinkArt WineCulture SupportArtists

What started as a tasting turned into a full creative session—custom blends, hand-designed labels, and bottles finished with wax seals. Everyone left with something personal, something memorable… and something delicious.Perfect for celebrations, retreats, or any group that wants more than just another night out.You bring the people.
