A long-standing member of the Santa Barbara winemaking community, Whitcraft Winery is obsessed with producing the highest quality wines. Our signature varietals are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah while also producing a variety of other unique, handcrafted wines.

A son of Santa Barbara, Justin Tyler Willett began Tyler in 2005 at the age of 24 with a few barrels tucked away in the corner of the Sta. Rita Hills cellar he was working in at the time. It was there, as the assistant winemaker, he honed his approach to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Lieu Dit is a partnership of longtime friends Eric Railsback and Justin Willett. They were among a small group of young winemakers and restaurateurs in Santa Barbara unified by a common interest in wine and all its mysteries.

We believe the best wine grapes are grown with minimal inputs and conscious vineyard management. With a lot of passion and hard work, world-class wines are made with minimal intervention in a vineyard that grows alongside a healthy living ecosystem.
