“Stand out winery - we had a wine passport for the area that gives you tastings at a lot of local wineries within the Peninsula - Santa Cruz County and Wrights was one of our favorites. The wines were delicious, the service was super friendly and their location is serene among the trees and vineyards. Also the drive off of 17 was really easy. Would go back and definitely recommend.“

“The tasting is good. I particularly liked the first two better; rosé and pinotage. I'm not a fan of pinot but cabernet never disappoints (but that's a matter of taste and pairing). The view here is beautiful, and another point to highlight is that children are welcome, and it is also totally allowed to bring food from outside to have a family picnic while you enjoy some delicious wine and the magnificent view that the place offers you.. It's worth it. It's worth the winding road to get there.“
“I’m a huge personal fan of the Tempernillo! I’ve never had a better one. Best part is that this is a family owned operation. They literally grow their own grapes soup to nuts.“

“Let me start off by saying I never write reviews but feel compelled to do one after our visit.Testarossa for the win! My wife and I (mostly her) have traveled from the East Coast to the West Coast and abroad to visit vineyards or attend tastings. Saying this to say, we know a little about quality wine. We stumbled upon this vineyard while we were in California for a wedding. On an free day prior to the wedding, I was in charge of finding and booking tastings for us (mostly her). I had three tastings lined up for the day and Testarossa was stop #1. I read all the reviews to make a reservation so we did (and highly recommend). We decided on the tour (also highly recommended). It was raining that day, but the sun peeked out for about 7.4 seconds so we optimistically kept the reservation hoping for better weather. The rain continued - c'est la vie. But thankfully, we met our guide, Missy Elliot (not the rapper). She was/is the most knowledgeable, personable, amiable tour guide we ever met. She braved the elements for us, snuck in a few well timed anecdotes, and knew the history of the vineyard as if she lived there. She made Testarossa feel like family. The place was amazing and the wine was fantastic! The nicknames for the silos were hilarious. We sipped, lost track of time, and bought 4-6 bottles of their fine wine. Cannot remember specific amount due to the copious amounts of alcohol in our system. I accidentally broke a wine class and Missy was quick to come with a spray bottle that removed all traces out of my tan shirt. Testarossa is a gem and kudos to them for hiring Missy. She was the bright spot on a rainy day. Needless to say we didn't make it to our next destinations. After the tour, we headed to their patio for a snack. In my humble opinion, Testarossa is better than some of those pretentious vineyards to the north. Do yourself a favor, add them to your travel plans, you won't be disappointed.“
“Met David Bruce way back first in Tampa fl at Burns restaurant. Second met David Bruce and wife at their house. The best wine he was making was aGewürztraminer. BUT IT DID NOT Sell BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE PRONOUNCED. What a shame, it was delicious. But I had a great time both time I met David Bruce.“

“We had a corporate event at the winery and it was a blast. It’s a beautiful venue with spectacular sunset views. Nice wine, good service and great food. There are several outdoor games on their premises to keep the guest entertained. We also participated in the wine blending activity which was so much more fun than I anticipated. Overall a great experience !“
