Inspiration

In California’s Central Coast, there’s a sleepy little town where the stage coach used to stop called Ballard. Named after William Ballard, the original coach operator, the town of Ballard served as the connection point between rural and seaside communities.

Vineyards, coastal bluffs and ranches merged seamlessly together through roads the locals called lanes. Ultimately, most of these paths ended up in Ballard. It’s this unifying spirit, combined with an easy going style that inspires Ballard Lane Wines.
