Join us for an intimate and illuminating evening with winemaker Will Henry, founder of Lumen Wines, a Santa Barbara County label known for crafting elegant, site-driven wines with minimal intervention.
Lumen Wines focuses primarily on cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from thoughtfully farmed vineyards along California’s Central Coast. Will’s philosophy centers on transparency — allowing vineyard character, vintage variation, and natural balance to shine through without heavy-handed winemaking techniques.
During this special Speaker Series event, guests can expect insights into:
🌿 What “minimal intervention” truly means in modern winemaking
🌊 The influence of Santa Maria Valley and coastal terroir on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
🍇 Vineyard sourcing and relationships with growers
🧪 Fermentation choices, native yeasts, oak influence, and aging decisions
🍷 How small-production wines differ from large-scale commercial bottlings
❓ A thoughtful Q&A — ask your questions about vineyard practices, vintage variation, tasting notes, and what defines truly expressive wine
Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious about what goes into crafting balanced, nuanced wines from our region, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from Will!
Come sip, learn, and deepen your appreciation for Santa Barbara County wine in the company of fellow enthusiasts.
