    Wine tasting at Soquel Vineyards
    Bri D.

    Soquel Vineyards is a gorgeous breath of fresh air. I called ahead to make a reservation for a party of two. Peter was helpful and got right back to me. I asked about their Covid-19 guidelines and they told me all the ways they were keeping themselves and everyone who visits safe. All must wear masks when they arrive or when they leave their table. All staff wears their masks and respects your space. The lower wine tasting deck is Santa Cruz grapes and the upper seating is the reserve tasting. Gary told us about the wines and was very welcoming. He treated us well and taught us about their reserve wines. It was nice to be able to social distance and get a break from the world around while also being risk aware. This is a great way to enjoy safer activities during Covid-19 and get a breath of fresh air. I hope to return again!

    Amazing ambience, staff and wines. We keep coming back. Absolutely our favorite winery.

    Decent tasting wine for $10 per person! I came here with my family last minute-- we had no reservations and there wasn't a wait. This vineyard is family owned and we got to meet the owner, Peter. He was very friendly and even gave my mom and I a tour of his house next door to the vineyard. This is a great place to spend time with loved ones, drink wine, and tour the beautiful garden.

    Our ride here was taken up the mountain on a winding road through a redwood grove. Beautiful and very shaded, the moss all around the trees. Beautiful and looking like you'll see the hobbit soon. Closer to the top you'll turn into a clearing and the Soquel tasting room.Today the tasting was concentrating on their Pinot Noir. Excellent award winners everyone.

    I came here with a group of 6 for a tasting and we had a wonderful time! It was busy, but since I had called ahead, it wasn't a problem fitting us in. Gorgeous views (you can see the ocean from a distance over the vineyard!), lovely seating area, very friendly staff, and we all really enjoyed the wine as well! Had to take a few bottles home! Definitely will be coming back!

    I love it here. The wine is phenomenal, the staff is super nice and the view is breathtaking. Just be aware that you might not have service if you Uber there.. not a terrible place to be stranded !

    Relaxed and friendly wine tasting room down a winedy and sometimes suspect road (there was some mudslide one lane action but grin and bear it because the winery is worth it!) we had a lovely tasting of four wines and selected a few to go. Their first Pinot Grigio (2017) is a win! The petite Syrah and trinity were lovely. The views are spectacular.

    Stopped here on Saturday to pick up a wine donation for our November fundraiser. Peter is truly a generous business owner. My husband and I enjoyed wine tasting on their gorgeous patio. There were 4 or five couples enjoying the views and warm sunshine while sipping wine and taking in the vineyard views. This is a must see if your in the area. I tend to bounce back and forth between red and white depending on my mood. Their Steele barrel Chardonnay was so yummy! Looking forward to another trip put there very soon.

    Wow. Views & fantastic wine, what more can a girl ask for! The grounds are gorgeous. We watched wild turkeys in fields of mustard flowers while sipping lovely wines. The rosé was delicious. The owners were very friendly. I only wish we could have bought glasses and had a picnic all day here. No phone service so it really makes you take it all in and enjoy the vibe.

    When Peter realized we were embracing the wines he was kind enough to pour the mack daddy of them all, the Consonante.

    Lovely little spot that's finally open on more regular hours. Stop by on a Friday or Saturday…read moreafternoon for pleasant wine and ocean views. I think reservations are required these days, but they're very easy to do online. The seating is in a nice outdoor area in the redwoods overlooking the ocean. A great setting and all of the wines we tried were good as well. Grapes aren't grown on site but are mostly sourced locally which is cool. We enjoyed everything so we were happy to purchase a few bottles. To sweeten the pot they apply your tasting fee to bottle purchase. It's really a no brainier to leave with a wine or two. They're priced pretty reasonably and it's nice supporting a local wine maker.

    The scenery is stellar and the lady helping us was nice. Just got a weird feeling when the the…read moresupposed "guy that makes the wines" visits with every party there except for ours. Made us feel a little unwelcome. Then towards then end I'm not sure if we've been spoiled by every other vineyard but she didn't ask if we wanted to re visit any of the wines we tried. Was only asked if we would like to purchase any bottles. We asked if we could try a wine that wasn't on the flight and unfortunately they didn't have an open one. No worries but still wasn't offered anything else. Was a very relaxing experience would maybe come back it's just minor details. Overall had a fine time. To sum it up quickly the wine overall was I'd say a 7.5 out of 10. Some good, others were a bit mute but not bad.
