Property Description
Offered by Lucas & Lewellen, one of Santa Barbara County's most respected wine estates.

Welcome to Goodchild Vineyard, where cool-climate excellence began. Planted by Louis Lucas in 1980, this legacy property spans 98.86± acres, with 63.6± acres of producing vines in Santa Maria's premier terroir. Located along the iconic Foxen Canyon Wine Trail and adjacent to the Nielsen Vineyard, Goodchild helped establish the Santa Maria Valley AVA's global reputation. With its renowned "High 9" Pinot Noir block (clone 667) and multiple Chardonnay blocks, Goodchild consistently supplies premium fruit for Lucas & Lewellen's reserve program. Originally planted using UC Davis-certified virus-free stock, it became a go-to source for clean cuttings that shaped vineyards across the county.
"We didn't just want to grow grapes. We wanted to grow the best grapes possible. So we farmed that way. Still do." - Louis Lucas
This is a proven vineyard with deep roots and modern potential. Located in an area that qualifies under Santa Barbara County's Agricultural Enterprise Ordinance, Goodchild offers future flexibility for hospitality or direct-to-consumer visionaries.
