Founded in 2013 by co-owners Jason Carvalho and Kevin Nickell, along with longtime friend Chris Vaughn, BarrelHouse Brewing Co. began with a simple mission: bringing together Good People, Good Times, and Great Beer. What started as a small operation in Carvalho’s garage has quickly grown into the largest American family-owned craft brewery in San Luis Obispo County. “We take immense pride in being a family-owned business,” says Jason Carvalho, owner of BarrelHouse Brewing Co. “In a craft beer landscape dominated by sellouts and mergers, we stand tall, retaining our independence and staying true to our mission. Our people are passionate about what we do, and we’re just getting started.” [read more]

Our Wines Our Winemakers craft each bottle with fruit from the See Canyon, Creston, and Paso Robles regions. Winning awards year after year, our reds, whites, and apple blends are made with an emphasis on fruit-forward notes, full mouthfeel, and finishes that leave the palate craving more. Our Family Three generations of Kelseys currently work at the winery, beginning with Dick and Dolores Kelsey, their sons Richard and Keith, and grandchildren Deanna, Devon, Clive, Tessa, and Jessica. What began as a retirement project for Dick Kelsey has blossomed into a full-blown business with a focus on providing fantastic wines and a remarkable atmosphere in which to enjoy them. Our Philosophy We believe in letting the land and the climate speak to your palate. A "hands-off" approach by our Winemakers ensures minimal interference by external factors, and brings out notes, aromas, and flavors that are both refined and true to the nature of their respective varietals.

The Plemmons Family & The Swiss Staff welcome you to The Swiss Steakhouse & Bar, one of Santa Maria Valley’s most popular traditional Santa Maria BBQ restaurants. We serve a traditional Santa Maria-Style Oak Barbecue — known for its classic smoky and hearty flavor — that began here in the 1940s. We age our own beef, cut our steaks in-house, prepare our own ground beef, and make everything from scratch. We are one of the few Santa Maria restaurants offering steaks, chops, ribs, chicken, and seafood. Direct off the red oak pit are our famous steaks, chicken breast, pork chops, bbq rack of lamb, and full and half rack of baby backs. Our delicious pasta dishes include chicken fettuccine and beef ravioli or ask for a combo and enjoy some of each! For lunch do not forget our oak grill sandwiches. The rib-eye steak sandwich with Pinquito beans is the favorite among our daily lunch gang. So much more to enjoy, please join us daily for lunch or dinner. Thank you for helping us keep the tradition alive [read more]
