History:

Brick Barn Wine Estate is a testament to the enduring vision and passion of its founders, Norman and Kathleen Williams, who embarked on a journey fueled by their love for wine and a dream to create something truly extraordinary.

The roots of Brick Barn run deep within the Williams family, spanning over half a century. Norman’s acquisition of 40 acres from the Buell family in 1968 marked the beginning of a legacy that would soon expand to encompass an adjacent 1,060 acres of the original Buell Ranch.

Originally home to a prestigious Arabian horse breeding facility, the property boasted a remarkable 36-stall brick barn, meticulously crafted by an Italian stonemason in the early 1970s. This iconic structure, adorned with its distinctive split-face brick façade and mid-century modern roofline, became the cherished abode of Fortel, the Williams’ prized Arabian stallion.
