Story

A passion for horses is evident the moment visitors turn onto the lane that leads to the Tamber Bey tasting room and winery at Sundance Ranch. The 22-acre ranch is home to champion performance quarter horses and Arabians that graze in the white-fenced paddocks lining the lane. The focal point of the property is the barn and clubhouse, which was designed by famed Napa Valley Architect Howard Backen. Here, wine country and horse country unite.

The barn clubhouse serves as Tamber Bey’s tasting room and is an ideal environment for discovering the wonderful wines. The wine company was founded by former high-tech executive and equestrian Barry Waitte, who named it after his first two Arabian horses, Tamborina and Bayamo. Guests can perch themselves at the sleek tasting bar or wander outside to admire the courtyard surrounded by 16 impeccable horse stalls framed by fabulous views of Mount St. Helena and the Palisades.

Visitors are invited to taste a flight of five current releases that range from fresh Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to a heady Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir followed by samples of intense reds, such as Rabicano, a smoky blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Those seeking a full sensory experience opt for the Signature Savory Cookie & Wine Pairing, a flight of wines paired with a selection of special savory cookies created to enhance the flavor of each Tamber Bey wine. Guests can also take a walking tour around the intriguing property, including the winemaking and barrel facility and the horse stables. Regardless of which tasting experience they choose, guests will find perfection at every turn and in every glass. In fact, many decide to join the EQQWine Club to ensure access to their newfound favorites.

Tamber Bey Vineyards offers it all: a spectacular setting, exceptional wines, and a friendly ambiance that keeps wine and horse enthusiasts coming back.
