Summerland Winery Tasting
Guest Host: Nicole Primeau
East Coast Sales Manager
Summerland Winery is a boutique wine company that takes pride in producing a diverse range of premium wines focusing on the expressive vineyard sources spanning from Santa Barbara to Monterey with an emphasis on small lot, vineyard designated Pinot Noir production. Inspired by the relaxed, friendly lifestyle enjoyed throughout California’s serene coastal towns, Proprietor, Mr. Nebil “Bilo” Zarif opened his tasting room in the charming town of Summerland.
Since its conception in 2002, Summerland Winery has quickly built a name synonymous with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The Wines
Mr. Zarif, a longtime fixture in the Central Coast wine industry, founded Summerland Winery with the intention of producing a diverse range of Central Coast wines. The current portfolio of white wines includes Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Chardonnay, Orange Muscat, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Grenache, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon offered in two distinctive tiers. A portfolio of the Reds of the Central Coast Collection are blended in a more
fruit forward style, excellent for food pairing. They best reflect the category of everyday enjoyment and offer good varietal character with a regional flavor profile.
Several appellations and vineyard sources are represented on the Summerland label and a real understanding of the Central Coast is evident in all the wines. Though most of the wines bear the names of Santa Barbara vineyard sources, they also produce Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache and Zinfandel from Paso Robles and Pinot Noir from two separate vineyards in the Edna Valley.
