Montecito Gourmet

On January 9, 2018, when a devastating mudflow descended upon Montecito, California, a little shop called Village Cheese & Wine Store kept their doors open to first responders and residents in need of food and refuge. Out of that small kindness a community of leaders came together to form the Montecito Village Recovery Fund, a non-profit dedicated to assisting residents in their recovery.

Each and every product we create celebrates the beauty and prestige of a Montecito lifestyle, from locally and organically grown olives and olive oil to locally roasted premium coffees to the best wines that Santa Barbara County has to offer. But our mission is to go one step further. Not only to we seek to celebrate coastal California's beauty and vitality, we aim to honor it by helping to rebuild and sustain the strength of the communities impacted by natural disaster.
