Estate-grown wines, a lifelong commitment to quality, and a seat with the winemaker. Welcome to Via Vega.

Our Story

A Lifetime in the Making

As a young man with a dream, Larry Gomez earned a BS in Fruit Science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and an MS in Agricultural Chemistry, focused in Enology, from California State University, Fresno. He spent the next 21 years making wine for Lockwood Vineyard, J. Lohr Winery, and Wildhorse Winery.

Larry has been enjoying his Via Vega Vineyard since 1998. The grapes grown here and the wines he creates reflect a lifelong commitment to quality. With his many years of winemaking experience, we invite you to taste and enjoy what Larry has learned.

Schedule a visit, sit down, and enjoy the ride.

A Conversation with the Winemaker

Our Experience by Reservation is a seated, hour-long conversation with the winemaker. It gives us time to share our story and our wines in the most sincere way possible. If you wish to linger longer, let us know.

Prefer a less intimate experience? We can also schedule a self-guided tasting, or wine by the glass or bottle, inside or on the patio. Large groups are welcome by arrangement as private tastings.

Expect a casual vibe, an educational experience, no-spray farming, extended barrel aging, and our in-house bottling line. You may also discover Air-Tiki and the Vega-Tron big screen.

Find us where the pavement ends, across from the Zoo. See special October altar hours.

Our Wines

From Our Vineyard & Beyond

Día de los Muertos

Share a Story.
Raise a Glass.

Día de los Muertos is a beautiful time to celebrate and honor the memory of those we have lost. Each year, Via Vega welcomes the community to a traditional ofrenda, an altar of remembrance.

Our altar season runs October 1 through November 5. Share a story and raise a glass for someone you love, surrounded by the glow of the altar.

Drop-in altar hours: Sundays in October, noon–3 pm. Enjoy wine by the glass or bottle, or a beer, without a reservation during these special hours. Guided winemaker tastings are not available during drop-in altar hours.

Please call ahead for large groups or private parties, or to arrange a visit outside these hours that includes our educational tasting. Call to confirm seasonal hours before traveling.

Our happy skeleton-label wines celebrate friendship all year long. Explore the October Series.

Questions

Before You Find Us

Do I need a reservation?

Yes. Reservations are required for all visits, including wine pick-ups, and are made by phone only. Call 805-423-2190. The exception is our special Sunday drop-in altar hours in October; see the Día de los Muertos section.

We can usually schedule visits any day of the week and do our best to accomodate your schedule. We may be hosting a private group or out doing other winemaking things, and do not want to disappoint you if we cannot be available when you arrive.

What is the tasting experience like?

Our Experience by Reservation is a sit-down conversation with the winemaker, lasting about an hour. We share the story behind the vineyard and the wines in an intimate, educational setting. Tell us if you would like to linger longer. Please be respectful and kind; good things happen with good manners.

We can also arrange a self-guided tasting, or wine by the glass or bottle, inside or on the patio.

What if I am late or need to cancel?

No-shows or cancellations less than 24 hours before the scheduled time are charged per person for the appointment. Arriving more than 30 minutes late is considered a no-show. Late arrivals may forfeit part of the presentation.

Can you accommodate a large group?

Yes! We are happy to schedule large groups as private tastings. Please call ahead to arrange a time, including for large groups or private parties visiting the community altar.

Bullpen membership & cancellations

The Bullpen wine club is a recurring subscription of two wine shipments per year. By joining, you verify that you or the recipient is at least 21 and agree to a minimum of one year of membership.

Membership continues until you request cancellation by contacting Via Vega directly by phone or email. Early termination results in charges for discounts received plus a $25 processing fee.

Selections are processed each Spring and Fall and always announced by e-mail beforehand. Members are responsible for making changes before the specified processing date. Cancellations after processing are not refunded.

Club deliveries, returns & pick-ups

Shipped oders are delivered by UPS. We encourage members to select a UPS Access Point to simplify deliveries and save on shipping charges. Selections are shipped a few days after processing but may be delayed due to extreme weather warnings. Club packages returned as undeliverable due to incorrect address or refused by purchaser are not refundable. Returned packages will be held in will-call for a maximum of 6 months. Extra charges for redirected or returned wine shipments are the member’s responsibility and are charged to the credit card on file.

Pick-up orders are available by reservation. Club selections must be collected within 6 months, unless extended by arrangement. After one year, unclaimed wine is forfeited by the purchaser and used for donations.

Delivery policies & age requirements

Direct-to-consumer shipping laws vary by state and limit where we may ship. Via Vega ships only to states where permitted. By placing an order, you authorize us to engage a common carrier on your behalf to deliver to your chosen destination.

You must be 21 or older to buy wine. By ordering, you certify under penalty of perjury that you and the recipient are at least 21. The recipient must show identification proving age at delivery.

Most carriers make three delivery attempts before returning wine. A UPS Access Point may be used to simplify delivery. Extra charges for redirected or returned packages are the purchaser’s responsibility and are applied to the credit card on file.

We ship on non-holiday weekdays only. Extreme temperatures may delay a shipment to protect the wine from heat or cold damage.
