About Us

Art Inspired Wines from California

Our ultra-premium, limited edition cuvées pay homage to old-world winemakers and form a synthesis between the fine art on the label and fine wine in the bottle.

Like an impressionist painter mixing colors on a palette, Artiste winemaker, Bion Rice, artfully canvases a selection of vintages and varietals from exceptional winegrowers and winemakers throughout California; and then creates art inspired wines from California.

Bion’s unwavering insistence on quality ensures that lots remain small, with each wine produced under 500 cases. With each blend, Artiste wines capture a sense of old-world style with new-world personality, handcrafting liquid works of art for your palate.

Anna and Bion Rice, owners of Artiste Winery in the Santa Ynez Valley, are known for their unique approach to winemaking. The couple combines artistic expression with wine production, creating a distinctive tasting experience. Their tasting studio offers a fresh, fun wine tasting approach, where visitors can enjoy a blend of art and wine in a beautiful, modern studio. Artiste Winery specializes in handcrafted, limited-production wines that are both a celebration of local terroir and artistic creativity.

OUR ARTISTS

Four times a year, Artiste releases three new wines with unique labels from the brushes of our featured artist. We have collaborated with amazing artists such as James Paul Brown, Colette Cosentino, John Baran and many more! With each new release we invite members and their guests to our art & wine release party at our tasting studio. It is here that you get the first chance to savor our wonderful wine and to view our artist’s beautiful artwork. It’s the perfect ambiance for everyone to chat informally with the winemaker and the artist, and to have them autograph bottles and limited edition giclees.
