Plan your day of wine tasting by choosing from these Santa Cruz wineries, which also includes ones in Soquel, Scotts Valley, Felton, Boulder Creek, Los Gatos and Saratoga.
Central Coast wine tasting
in California extends to the northern end of Monterey Bay, in the Santa Cruz region. From Soquel, just south of
Santa Cruz California
along Highway One, to the north and inland in the Santa Cruz Mountains and almost to the outer edges of San Jose, you'll find wineries to visit. You'll experience a mixture of coastal breezes, tall redwoods, and warm sunshine in the summer.
Going wine tasting at Santa Cruz wineries makes for a great day trip from
Monterey,
44 miles to the south, or San Jose, 30 miles to the northeast. San Francisco is about a one and a half to two hour's drive away, depending on traffic. It's best to choose only 3-5 wineries to visit per day, to maximize the whole wine country experience without overdoing it. View Santa Cruz Wineries in a larger map
The following list of Santa Cruz wineries is grouped by location, starting with the city itself, then extending to the north through the mountains, and then south down the coast. There are other wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but not all have tasting rooms. The ones below are, and you'll see the hours they are open to the public below each listing.
