"The Santa Ynez Valley was the inspiration for my novel Sideways, which became the hit, award-winning film of the same title,” says Rex Pickett, author of “Sideways.” “ I have always found its beauty sublime, its wines nonpareil, and I've returned many times. Alisal Guest Ranch epitomizes everything that is so splendid and beautiful about this region I love and which has given me so much."- Rex Pickett

Praise for SIDEWAYS
Rex and Alexander at the Santa Barbara SIDEWAYS premiere.
“I’ll never forget reading the manuscript for SIDEWAYS in a single sitting aboard an airplane. A confessional novel, it astonished me with its honesty, humor and pathos in a setting as seductive as it gets. Upon landing, I sprinted to a payphone to tell the right parties about the astonishing novel I’d just read – the novel that was to change my life.
— Alexander Payne, Oscar-winning Director/Co-writer of SIDEWAYS
