Winemaker: Max Hoetzel of F2 Wines

"F2 is the brainchild of German-born writer Max Hoetzel, who in 2013 years ago found himself living amidst a vineyard in Santa Ynez. With the help of his mentor, winemaker Steve Clifton he started making exciting Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc. With the philosophy, that great farming is the beginning of great wine, Max lets the fruit shine, keeping the winemaking process in the winery as minimal as possible."

Secluded Dreamy Farmhouse

Enjoy the sweeping views of the canyon, bright night stars, and our gentle Mediterranean climate from the large deck. Collect eggs for breakfast from the sweet bantam hens in a nearby coop and watch the cows graze the hillside behind the house. This is a place for dreamers, with space to breathe and simplicity that offers respite from the day-to-day rush.
