About Tercero Wines
Tercero wines produces top quality red, white, and rose wines from leading vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County. Our goal is to create wines that are distinct, interesting, good to drink, fun to share with others, and are reasonably priced.

We look at things in very simple terms – start with great grapes from great places, take care of the grapes/wines during each and every step of the process, and then bottle each wine under screw cap to ensure minimal bottle variation during its life after bottling.

Our company is small – only two of us – and therefore we cherish the relationships we have built up, and will build up, with you – our customers. We appreciate any and add feedback – let us know what you think of our wines, ask us questions about our wines, and tell others about us, too.
