(June 15, 2026, LOS OLIVOS, Calif.)—Demetria Estate, a 213-acre family-owned, biodynamically farmed vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley, is ushering in summer with daily live music on its estate patio, the return of its beloved Movie Nights in the Vineyard series and the debut of its first annual shrimp boil. Located just off Foxen Canyon Road in the idyllic town of Los Olivos, Demetria Estate is often described as one of the area’s best-kept secrets, known for its old-world Mediterranean aesthetic, genuine hospitality and exceptional wines.
Throughout summer, guests are invited to enjoy daily live guitar performances on the estate patio by local music aficionado and longtime vinyl record dealer, Ray Fortune, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Set beneath ancient oak trees with sweeping vineyard views, these relaxed afternoons offer a rotating lineup of Rhône and Burgundian varietal wines that are balanced, elegant and expressive of place. Tasting flights are available for $30 per person and guided by the small and deeply knowledgeable team. Wines are also available by-the-bottle and by-the-glass. Reservations are required and can be made via Tock.
Returning in July, Demetria Estate will bring back Movie Nights in the Vineyard, its popular family-friendly outdoor film series under the stars. Evenings begin at 6:30 p.m. with sunset dinner and wine on the patio before guests are invited to settle in on the lower lawn for a classic film screening. The $90 ($75 for kids) ticket includes a buffet-style dinner, wine by the glass and unlimited popcorn and movie candy.

“Summer at Demetria Estate is particularly special. The patio offers a beautiful setting for an afternoon of wine and live music, and we’re thrilled to bring back Movie Nights in the Vineyard. This year’s lineup features a few classics our team is especially looking forward to, and costumes are highly encouraged,” says Demetria Estate Owner and General Manager Alexis Zahoudanis.
New this summer, Demetria Estate will host its first annual shrimp boil in partnership with Chef Melissa of Clean Slate Wine Bar, on Sunday, July 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event will feature bottomless glasses of Demetria Estate Grenache Rosé and Pantheon alongside wild Gulf shrimp flown in from the Gulf Coast, served traditional style—head-on, peel-and-eat. Guests will also enjoy a DJ set featuring Louisiana-inspired music. Tickets are $80/person and can be booked here: demetriaestate.orderport.net/product-details/0138/shrimp-boil-ticket-july-12
