Sunstone California blends cutting‑edge wellness beverages with the romance of Santa Barbara wine country. Headquartered in Santa Ynez Valley, the brand produces functional hemp drinks with adaptogens and nootropics, such as its sparkling SOLIS beverage, while also stewarding a celebrated organic vineyard and luxury villa.
At the heart of the operation is Sunstone Winery, a 52‑acre estate planted by the Rice family in 1990. The terraced site overlooks the Santa Ynez River and enjoys a micro‑climate of foggy mornings, warm afternoons and cool evenings—conditions ideal for Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Viognier. As Santa Barbara County’s first organic vineyard estate, Sunstone has earned accolades for its sustainable farming and destination tasting room. Aromas of French lavender and rosemary greet visitors as they approach the courtyards and caves, where wood‑burning ovens and 5,000‑square‑foot barrel‑aging caves evoke old‑world wine culture. Locals regularly vote Sunstone's tasting room as one of the most best in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Adjacent to the winery is the Sunstone Villa, completed in 2004. This 8,500‑square‑foot residence was constructed from reclaimed French limestone and wood beams salvaged from 19th‑century factories. The villa offers five luxurious suites with private baths and eight fireplaces, along with terraces and patios that provide panoramic vineyard and mountain views. Guests can book exclusive stays, weddings or private events, enjoying an authentic French‑Provincial experience in the heart of California wine country. The property’s courtyards, caves and tasting rooms create an intimate setting for wine dinners, culinary experiences and corporate retreats.
Together, Sunstone California’s functional beverage line, organic winery and luxury villa create a lifestyle brand rooted in wellness, sustainability and experiential hospitality. Whether sipping a THC‑free sparkling hemp drink or strolling through lavender‑lined vineyards, visitors experience the brand’s commitment to plant‑based ingredients, organic farming and European craftsmanship. This combination of innovative wellness products and old‑world wine culture positions Sunstone as a unique destination for mindful consumers seeking both vitality and indulgence.
