From the veranda to the caves, follow the path of Cabernet from its beginnings in barrel to its finest expression in bottle. Taste Astral in both current release and rare library vintages—wines that reflect the peak of our craft. This is Star Lane at its most distinguished.
Begin with a welcoming glass and introduction to the Star Lane story from our scenic veranda. Explore the winery and barrel caves before a guided tasting of our Cabernet portfolio, highlighted by Astral. A graceful introduction to the depth and elegance of the estate.
This is Cabernet, revealed in its purest form. Guided by Winemaker Tyler Thomas or Assistant Winemaker Niko Comati, you’ll taste from hand-selected barrels and uncover how vineyard, harvest, and oak decisions shape a wine’s destiny. A rare and immersive masterclass in Star Lane’s most celebrated varietal.
Star Lane Vineyard is open on a limited basis and by appointment only. Planted to two-hundred acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties by the Dierberg family in 1998, Star Lane Vineyard is a family-owned and operated estate that is under its second generation of family leadership.
The majestic gravity-flow winery at Star Lane Vineyard is also home to the only subterranean wine caves in Santa Barbara County. For the past decade, winemaking has been led by Tyler Thomas—who apprenticed with Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fame at the renowned Hyde de Villaine project in Napa Valley.
