Central Coast, Calif. (May 7, 2024)—Partnering with farms, ranches and wineries, Heritage Farmland Touring Co. is introducing tours that offer a taste of the rich agricultural heritage of the Santa Ynez Valley.

The “Heritage Farmland and Flavors of the Santa Ynez Valley” five-hour tours stop at three locations: a livestock ranch with cattle, alpacas, goats, sheep, chickens and llamas, an edible orchard and a generational winery. Tour participants learn about the abundant history of farmland and agriculture in Santa Ynez Valley and sample wines in a breathtaking setting. The tours include lunch, wine tasting and transportation.

“The Santa Ynez Valley is one of the most beautiful, tranquil settings in all of Central and Southern California,” says Mary Maranville, owner of Heritage Farmland Touring Company, “Harvesting from the bounty of the land and sea, farming and raising livestock have been part of the valley for thousands of years beginning with the native Chumash. The first vineyards were planted in 1973 and the valley has become known for its elegant wines.”

Maranville is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG). She is also the daughter of a dairy farmer from Upstate New York. SEEAG helps young students understand the origins of their food through education programs and farm tours. The long-term goal of Heritage Farmland Touring Co. is farmland preservation.

Part of the proceeds from the tour will benefit SEEAG's youth education programs.
