We were members of this winery until last weekend. We came to the winery to pick up our quarterly…read moreshipment and they were very busy. We asked if we could do a tasting and the greeter rudely said there was no place for us to slip in. No problem we said - we asked - can we open a bottle of our shipment and simply drink it and enjoy one of your beautiful outdoor green areas? Again, she said no, there was no place for us to be and we had to take our shipment and leave. The last straw was communicating our grievance to the winery directly and the wine club manager responded "we accept your wine club resignation - we were just too busy". I didn't know wineries in Aptos / Watsonville area were so incredibly profitable that they were willing to lose wine club members at the drop of the hat. Never again will I go to this winery. Highly recommend finding another place.

It's our first time wine tasting in Soquel. Never knew there's a city that has wineries and tasting…read morerooms. I made reservations a week ago to make sure we had a spot in case it was a busy weekend. I made reservations for a group of 4 on Saturday at 1pm, but we actually had 5 due to last min decision. It was not busy when we arrived Saturday around 1:10pm. Later, more people came by. I don't think you really needed a reservation. The winery doesn't allow outside food or picnic, but we saw people brought snacks and food. The tasting fee is only $10 for 5 wines. There was no price on the tasting menu, but we should've asked. It's two bottles to waive a tasting fee. We got to try an extra Pinot noir and the 2017 Atlas Peak Cab. The cab was the best one. It had more body, flavor, and was smooth. We bought a bottle after we joked and asked if we could waive our tasting fees. All the wines on the tasting menu were just ok. More Italian style of light flavors, but smelled really good to the nose. The best view and nice winery in Soquel so far. Cute garden with foundations. It is located in the mountains with winding roads. Stephanie was also amazing. She's very friendly and knowledgeable.

They have lots of forested dog-friendly outdoor seating and a bocce ball court. My wife and I loved some of their wines. The Grenache and Chardonnay were the highlights. The Pinot and Zin didn't fare as well. Overall, their wines offer an intensely fruity and earthy style. The servers were friendly and courteous. However, we waited around 5 mins to get seated. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes to get our flights delivered. Throughout the experience, the staff reminded us that we needed to be mindful of our time because they were closing soon. Considering that it took them almost a half hour to get us situated, that didn't seem like it should be our concern. But they repeatedly insisted that it was our concern.

I love the Santa Cruz Mountain Chardonnay, and the Old Vines Zin and it's no wonder they have so many awards hanging up on the wall, their wine is divine.
