Camins 2 Dreams was founded in 2017.  Our grapes are sourced from vineyards in Santa Barbara County with a focus in Sta. Rita Hills.  Our philosophy is to make hand-crafted, terroir-driven wines that are fermented with natural yeast and use minimal intervention in the winery, with only minimum amounts of S02 at bottling.  Our wines are also unfined and unfiltered.  We believe wine is made in the vineyard and we want to showcase the typicity of each site where the grapes come from.  We source fruit from vineyards that share in the same values of respect for the land, the environment, and their workers.  We work exclusively with organic, biodynamic, and regenerative vineyards.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are a team of two winemakers, Mireia Taribó and Tara Gomez, wife and wife, whose paths first crossed in 2006 through our work in the wine industry.  Our friendship grew through wine and travels, which also sparked our love.  Our journey of friendship, love, and wine now continues as together we found our dream winery, Camins 2 Dreams.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828414886139,"sku":"00077291","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/7b616db90eb5b0b9938903798807d929.jpg?v=1777681777","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/camins-2-dreams-paicines-ranch-mencia-san-benito-county-ca-2024","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
