Craig Jaffurs defected from the aerospace industry in the early 1990s to pursue his dream of making wine. Thanks to the success of his first efforts in the 1994 vintage, he was able to complete the construction of his urban winery in the city of Santa Barbara in 2001. The current owners, Dan and Janelle Greene, continue to operate Jaffurs on the négociant model. They contract with the very best vineyards throughout the region to supply them with grapes, which they process in their own facility, producing stunning Rhône-style wines. Jason is an SBC vet with stints at some of the biggest names in the county.
There are two seated tastings, with Jason, in the Tasting Room. Each seated tasting includes four Jaffurs wines + snacks.
