Escape to Alisal Ranch for a two-night culinary getaway set in the heart of California’s Santa Ynez Valley. BBQ Bootcamp is a relaxed, flavor-filled experience designed for those who appreciate great food, beautiful surroundings, and time well spent at a luxury guest ranch.

Throughout the stay, celebrated guest chefs and pitmasters take to the grill, sharing live-fire techniques, signature dishes, and the stories behind them. More than a demonstration-driven event, BBQ Bootcamp is about gathering around the table, savoring exceptional meals, and experiencing the warmth of ranch hospitality—from lakeside dining to evenings under the open sky.

Between feasts, explore 10,500 acres of rolling hills and oak groves, take part in classic ranch activities, or simply slow down and take it all in.

This adults-only experience is ideal for couples, friends, and anyone looking to experience Alisal Ranch through the lens of food, fire, and community; no BBQ expertise required.
