Located on the legendary Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, Goodchild Vineyard is one of the foundational blocks that put the Santa Maria Valley on the global wine map.
Goodchild Vineyard
Established by pioneering vintner Louis Lucas following his groundbreaking Tepusquet Vineyard, Goodchild continues the region’s legacy of world-class grape growing and winemaking.
Planted in 1980, this was one of the first vineyards to demonstrate that cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir could thrive in this coastal corridor.
“We weren’t sure what varietals would work. So we listened. We experimented. And we learned Chardonnay and Pinot loved this place.” – Louis Lucas
With the acclaimed “High 9” block of clone 667 Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay blocks farmed for Lucas & Lewellen’s reserve program, Goodchild is a working model of terroir-matched excellence. It also became a primary source for clean vine cuttings across the region after being planted with UC Davis-certified virus-free stock.
“That vineyard made millions of cuttings. People came to us for clean stock. We knew if we farmed it right, it would give back.” – Louis Lucas
Eligible under Santa Barbara County’s Agricultural Enterprise Ordinance (AEO), Goodchild holds untapped potential for hospitality, tasting, or other agri-tourism ventures while continuing to supply premium fruit at scale.
“We didn’t just want to grow grapes. We wanted to grow the best grapes possible. So we farmed that way. Still do.” - Louis Lucas
