Rocio is the tasting room specialist who we've come to love and adore over the years. The wines are very well-made they usually have a Chardonnay and some great Pinots Noirs. They also have things to pair with their wines such as gourmet chocolate, almonds and chocolate. They have other drinks available such as bubbly and a non-alcohol soda from South Africa that's really good. Eugene & Jules are the owners and are very special people that we just knew were going to turn this winery into a destination place which it is now. They are not too far from Aptos village and I highly recommend that you check them out. I wanted to add that starting this month Sept 2025, they are open on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and Alejandro and Bess are going to be the wine servers on Fridays and Sunday. They also increased their hours so this is very good news for the wine tasting community.

Charmant Vineyards is a true gem in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. The family-owned winery offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, stunning views of the vines and ocean, and some of the best small-lot wines in the region. Every sip feels handcrafted with care — the Pinot Noir was a standout! Unlike crowded, commercial spots, Charmant delivers an intimate, relaxing experience that makes you want to stay all afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone looking to discover authentic coastal California wine country.

Charmant is a perfect setting for an intimate and relaxing afternoon with friends. .The location is so lovely - surrounded by hills of redwood and oak, the vineyards, and vistas of the Pacific. Jules and Eug are the perfect hosts. Everything about Charmont reveals their personal, casual and caring touch.

Great atmosphere! Owner truly loves his craft, total pride of ownership and craftsmanship. Wines are all different and very flavorful. Worth every minute of the experience! Try it for yourself.

Wonderful hospitality. Owner has a great sense and love of community and his craft. Wines are very flavourful and full-bodied. Highly recommend you give it a try.

The view is spectacular, it feels magical and is like being in vacation s with so much gree, besides the vineyard you enjoy the pines and a big redwood tree up by the gazebo. Wine is amazing. Well rounded, delicious aroma, and paring it with the chocolates they offer, even better.The owners are super friendly.And it is a great venue to host parties and weddings.

Eugene’s winery is nothing but amazing. Great wine, great views, great people, all in Aptos’s backyard! We used to live in SF and have done our fair share of Napa and Sonoma runs, but Charmant stands out amongst the best. So happy to have the owners, Eugene and Jules as part of the community. They are onsite and super friendly. Highly recommend a visit for both locals and visitors. Join the wine club!
Beautiful place, great people, delicious wine. Charming!

We love Charmant Vineyards! Gorgeous location and view, Eugene and Jules are wonderful hosts, and the wine is incredible! We enjoyed all the wines we tasted. We especially enjoyed the 2018 Pinot Noir Estate and the 2019 Chardonnay. We are thrilled to be members here.
