Camins to Dreams
What do you get when two winemakers from opposite sides of the globe chase their dreams all the way to Lompoc? Magic. Meet Tara and Mireia—partners in life and wine—who started with just two barrels and a whole lot of passion. Now they’re making waves (and amazing Syrah) right in the heart of the Lompoc Wine Ghetto!
“Camins” means paths in Catalan, and their path has taken them from Spain and Native American roots straight to the vineyards of the stunning Sta. Rita Hills AVA.
These ladies don’t just make wine—they stomp the grapes with their feet (yes, really!) to keep things delicate and connected to the land. Their wines are all about balance, flavor, and pairing perfectly with good food—and great company. Plus, their tasting room is a laid-back, welcoming spot where everyone’s invited: LGBTQ+, wine newbies, and longtime enthusiasts alike.
Whether you’re a local or planning your next wine getaway, Camins to Dreams is a must-visit stop for stories, sips, and a seriously good time.
