What does it take to honor four decades of winemaking history while boldly leading a winery into its next chapter?
Join us for an engaging evening with Brooke and Lindsey Christian, owners of Longoria Wines, as they share the remarkable journey of becoming stewards of one of Santa Barbara County's most respected and pioneering wineries.
When the opportunity arose in 2022 to continue the legacy established by Rick and Diana Longoria, Brooke and Lindsey embraced more than a winery—they embraced the responsibility of carrying forward a name synonymous with exceptional Santa Barbara County wines while introducing fresh ideas, new experiences, and a vision for the future.
Drawing on backgrounds in hospitality, events, business, and a shared passion for wine, food, and community, the couple has expanded Longoria's reach while remaining committed to the artistry and craftsmanship that built its reputation. Since taking ownership, they have renovated the Lompoc tasting room, opened a vibrant downtown Santa Barbara location, and continued investing in memorable guest experiences and the next generation of Longoria Wines.
