Elevate your taste with wines of the Santa Cruz Mountains; wines of extraordinary complexity and pedigree. Overlooking the renowned Silicon Valley, the Santa Cruz Mountains is a winegrowing region where high tech gives way to high altitude. It's the first California appellation defined by its high-altitude vineyards and unique location at the convergence of coastal mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and the San Francisco Bay.
More than 70 wineries and 200 growers produce wines shaped by the elevation and the ocean's cooling influence. The region yields elegant wines from small producers who specialize in pinot noir, chardonnay, and cabernet sauvignon. The wines share distinct aromas and flavor profiles derived from mineral-rich soils, elevated mountainside vineyards, and the cooling marine effect from nearby bays and open ocean.
