Byington Vineyard & Winery

What a great place, you can see the ocean from here! Worth the drive, the tour is worth while and the crew is so nice!

Please get rid of the eyesore broken down car covered in trash and now astroturf that has been sitting outside your vineyard for a year. It makes your vineyard look trashy.

We had an enjoyable reunion tasting and hors d'oeuvres there. Nice site in Bear Creek reserve. Pinot was good, unoaked chardonnay interesting, and team gracious. We got good prices on shipments from the winery. Forests of nature preserve would be better appreciated if outdoor patio didn't overlook the parking lot, and if surrounding trees could be thinned. Takes a bit of a drive up a windy road; suggest if you have a group to get as small a bus as possible to navigate those turns.

The greatest winery experience you could dream of. I made a reservation to do a winery tour and tasting and actually when we showed up, we were told there was a private event that was to be taking place there and were offered a complimentary tour and tasting for the following day. When I told Justin, the GM and gentleman I was conversing with that I unfortunately couldn't do that since I was flying home the next day, he was gracious enough to do a private tasting for me and my girlfriend and shared a wealth of knowledge about the wines, pairings and the wine making processes. On top of this, he even comped our whole experience. I genuinely haven't experienced customer service this good ever at all. Their wines were fantastic and I cannot say enough about their GM Justin. He is awesome and I can see why the winery is awesome. I will be sure to return on following trips out there!

Fantastic place for wine tasting and lovely wines! The sommelier was very attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The view is superb and you can walk around the place to sip your wine while enjoying the view. We had a very pleasant Sunday afternoon, thank you!

Love their pilot noise. I wonder if they are into regenerative farming

The setting is ideal for an excellent tasting, viewpoint, plenty of space, good service!But, there is a but, the red wine is not at all up to the setting, cloudy, short on the palate and acetic,...In view of the terroir which would guarantee you a soft of excellence, your winemaking work is indecentChange method, personnel, train yourself!Switch to low temperature fermentation and check!

The staff was very easy going, knowledgeable, professional and great with dogs. This place looks amazing, has hiking and great wine. Also, my dog got a pup up while I was able to enjoy the whole experience. Will definitely be back again.

Great winery experience although BEWARE on hike: lots and lots of ticks!

I absolutely love photographing weddings at Byington Vineyard & Winery. This location is such an amazing gem of the central California coast and Santa Cruz Mountains. This vineyard and winery goes to great lengths to create an amazing and high quality wine. The estate is so serene and scenic and provides countless gorgeous backdrops for weddings. There is a perfect spot to get married called Wedding Hill and the staff is so great and helpful. I highly suggest getting married here.

A good place. This is not the first time here. Drinking a glass of wine at sunset in the mountains is very good

A great winery in Los Gatos hills. Top tasting wine , specially the Red

We hosted our daughter's High School Graduation Ceremony at Byington. Jessica was our primary contact. From day one till the event, our experience was stellar. Excellent venue and facilities, very responsive, and easy to work with staff. Jessica was easy to work with. She was flexible in making our arrangements and taking in a long series of one-offs and last-minute requests.The wines were delicious, and now we are proud wine club members.I will highly recommend them for their wines and for hosting your events.A few gotchas:a) If your event is on the weekend, HWY 17 is almost always super crowded with an accident somewhere that creates a 30-45 additional delay over what Google Maps shows that day. Despite warning our guests about it, half arrive late, leading to significant additional charges per hour for event extension. We had been on top of our caterers about this, so they were on time.b) There is a 20% mandatory tip on all aspects of the event, a $100 cleaning fee, and a 9% sales tax. The wine club membership gave us a 20% discount.

Every year something changes, and it makes the tours feel different

A quiet place, ideal to enjoy a good wine. The staff is very friendly and attentive, the wines are delicious. Simply excellent.
