CrossHatch Winery is a woman-owned winery in Santa Barbara, California, creating expressive wines inspired by the layered artistry of cross-hatching. Founded by Michelle Vautier, CrossHatch Winery brings together her Argentine heritage, passion for winemaking, and connection to California’s Central Coast. The winery specializes in distinctive co-fermented blends that combine multiple grape varieties to create wines with depth, harmony, and character.
Each CrossHatch wine begins with organically farmed grapes sourced from Santa Barbara County vineyards. Rather than fermenting varieties separately, CrossHatch co-ferments grapes together, allowing their flavors and characteristics to develop in harmony from the beginning of the winemaking process. Producing approximately 1,000 cases annually allows the winery to maintain a hands-on approach throughout the winemaking process, from vineyard to barrel to bottle.
CrossHatch Winery is more than a place to discover Central Coast wine—it is a celebration of land, craftsmanship, creativity, and connection. With a growing 40-acre farm in Templeton, the winery is expanding its vision to include immersive wine experiences such as private tastings, intimate dinners, harvest visits, and farm walks. For wine lovers exploring Santa Barbara County and California’s Central Coast, CrossHatch offers a unique perspective on small-production wines, co-fermentation, and the stories behind every bottle.
