Departure Wine Company is a small production winery that specializes in Rhône varietals from select vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County. It was launched by three friends (Tim Grubb, Jason Miele, and PJ Miele ) who started making wine together several years after graduating from UC Santa Barbara.

We launched Departure Wine Company in 2004 with a few empty barrels and a simple passion for distinctive wines from Santa Barbara County. We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but here we are a few vintages later - living the dream.

We handcraft our wines every step of the way using gentle, old-world techniques and fruit (Rhône varietals and Pinot Noir) grown in exceptional vineyard sites throughout Santa Barbara County. We only make a few hundred cases of wine each year so we keep our eyes (and hands) on ever grape cluster and every bottle of wine produced. We are proud to share our wines with you and hope you enjoy. Thank you for supporting Departure Wine Company.
