US-based Brave & Maiden Estate is set to open a new winery and tasting room at its 70-acre estate on Refugio Road in Santa Ynez, California.

Architect group Backen, Gillam & Kroeger Architects designed the 8,000-case production facility and tasting room, which feature both rustic and contemporary elements throughout and display modern fixtures, fireplaces, wood panelling and neutral earth tones.

The facility also offers indoor and outdoor seating areas.

“Our goal is to provide extraordinary experiences that are tailored to each individual guest.”

Brave & Maiden Estate managing director Jason Djang said: “From the beginning, our vision for Brave & Maiden has been to become a world-class brand and we’ve never wavered from that. From our top winemaking team to our certified sustainable vineyard, the completion of our winery and tasting room is a giant leap towards making that vision a reality.

“With our new facility, our goal is to provide extraordinary experiences that are tailored to each individual guest, where they feel educated, entertained and cared for.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to share our journey and our wine with the community in an unforgettable experience of hospitality.”

Brave & Maiden vineyard is Sustainability in Practice (SIP) certified and is dedicated to producing handcrafted, single-vineyard estate wines and red blends.

The new production facility and tasting room will be officially opened on 22 September and will offer three new wine experiences to guests.

Established in 2011, Brave & Maiden Estate includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, and Sauvignon Blanc.
