Winterlight Wine Dinner at Alisal Ranch
Sunday, February 21, 2027
6:30 PM
Santa Ynez Valley
Featuring JONATA & The Hilt
Returning to Alisal Ranch for the 2026–2027 season, this beloved series features three intimate candlelight dinners set within the historic heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Last year, every event sold out, so we encourage you to reserve your seat early.
Step into a room aglow with hundreds of candles and settle in for an evening that moves at its own unhurried pace. Each Winterlight dinner features a thoughtfully crafted multi-course menu by our Executive Chef, paired with exceptional wines from a featured Santa Ynez Valley winery.
Winterlight is one of the only events of the year open to the public, making it a rare opportunity to experience the magic of Alisal Ranch firsthand. Whether you’re planning a memorable date night or an unforgettable evening with friends, this is the kind of dinner that stays with you long after the candles burn down.
