LAS CUMBRES RANCH

Las Cumbres Ranch is an exclusive 1000-acre regeneratively operated, family-owned ranch and wedding venue located in Santa Barbara County. Among the rolling hills and mountain views, you'll find holistically managed livestock that are an integral part of the wider ecosystem. A herd of wild mustangs and burros were given sanctuary at the ranch and graze alongside the cattle. A large modern barn, ideal for big parties, welcomes you as you enter the ranch. Next to it, a vintage barn opens to a flower garden, overlooking a valley cradled by hills.

LIFE ON THE RANCH

Set in the rolling La Purisima Hills, Las Cumbres Ranch brings regeneration to life through intentional grazing and ecological stewardship. Cattle, wild mustangs, and burros share the pastures, shaping a thriving grassland where wildlife and ranching coexist in harmony. Nestled in picturesque Santa Ynez Valley, dotted with majestic oak trees, the ranch embodies the rustic elegance of California’s Central Coast—where open rangeland, wildflowers, and panoramic mountain views come together in a landscape of enduring natural beauty.

ROOTED IN NATURE, INSPIRED BY THE FUTURE

At the ranch, we care for the land with the next generation in mind. Guided by holistic and regenerative practices, we nurture the earth in ways that benefit not only the environment but also our community and future couples who celebrate here. By working in harmony with natural systems, we restore soil health, capture carbon from the atmosphere, and improve water retention- all while reducing wildfire risks. These practices create a thriving ecosystem where biodiversity flourishes, welcoming everything from songbirds and butterflies to wildlife, cattle, and flourishing crops. Every ceremony, reception and event here is surrounded by the beauty of a landscape that is not only breathtaking but also purposefully cared for—a place where love and nature grow together.

A BRIEF HISTORY

The history starts with the indigenous Chumash People who lived here for thousands of years before the Spanish Empire began officially colonizing the region in 1769. In 1821, under the Mexican Empire, the Ranch was part of the 49,000-acre Rancho Los Alamos Land Grant. The hills above the ranch served as a hideout for bandito Salomon Pico, whose escapades were popularized by the character Zoro. At the time of U.S. statehood in 1850, Santa Barbara County became one of the original counties of California. 

Today, in addition to being a holistically managed cattle ranch, Las Cumbres Ranch serves as a wedding, reception, and event venue with multiple event spaces. You’ll find the perfect setting for your special day—whether it’s a modern or vintage barn, wildflower gardens, or a long farm table set beneath majestic oaks. Nature’s beauty graces every space.
