Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard

Wonderful! Santa Cruz mountain tasting room has lots of delicious wine and friendly staff. Tasting costs $20 but the fee is waived if you purchase 2 bottles of wine during your visit. The staff are friendly and very educational, we learned so much about each wine we tried. We ended up taking home 4 bottles to share with our family and friends for the holidays.

We had a great time at our tasting! Very tasty wines, fair pricing, and incredibly kind and considerate staff. We were the only ones in the tasting area and sitting outside in some chilly weather, so a heat lamp was brought out just for us to feel more comfortable. We'll be back!

When we arrived the outdoor seating was reserved. Since the party hadn't arrived yet our hostess graciously seated us there while waiting for their arrival. Thankfully for us, they never did arrive and we were able to enjoy our tasting menu during a very pleasant afternoon. Regarding the tasting - we thoroughly enjoyed every selection in the flight. Our server was very friendly, enthusiastic, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable. We appreciated learning about the background, location and harvesting of our tasting pours. The wines are reasonable priced with a nice selection of varietals not likely to be found at any other winery.

The host was a very knowledgeable wine maker. The wines here are wonderful, European style.

We arrived before they were closing for the last tasting. It was just slow going. I understand that's normal with covid times, it just isn't particularly my favorite. The server was nice and explained things, but we just wanted to taste and go. The wines were okay. We bought some bottles but didn't like everything. Tasting fee is 20 a person.

A good place to sit outdoors and people-watch while tasting good wines. Friendly, knowledgeable staff serves...

This place is awesome, hands down the best butcher in Santa Cruz. Their meat is consistently top quality, and they always have a few things in a variety of marinades as well. And they make a huge variety of fantastic charcuterie, too.. The staff are all really well informed and helpful.

Unfortunately we were there at our appointment and the person didn't show up till 15 minutes later. When we tried to get her attention she just walked into the shop and locked the door. She called two and a half hours later to try to get us to come by. We drove 4 hours and this was one of the activities we wanted to do. Thankfully another winery was open and we spent $1000 dollars there. Bad business
