Wrights Station Vineyard & Winery

Beautiful place! Must visit!

This place is GORGEOUS! Beautiful inside and very very beautiful views outside. The wine was very good too, we did the Wright station flight for $20, and all 4 wines were great. We were helped by Rachel, who was very knowledgeable and sweet.
10/10 recommend! 🍷

To Carol, Florence, and the entire team at the Wright Station Winery,

Thank you so much for creating a flawless day for our bride’s special shower. Carol was nothing but phenomenal. Carol worked tirelessly to accommodate our needs, providing a “family feel” to our experience. In addition, the staff was so kind, assisting with anything needed during the event. Lastly, the wine and scenery was to die for. It was a gorgeous setting with delicious wine. 10/10 experience and we will most definitely be back for future events!

Such a great vineyard with plenty of wine selections. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we reserved to sit on the outdoor patio and enjoy their wine flights. We also had the chicken empanadas and they were delicious! Highly recommend as an option of you can’t make it over to Napa and still want to enjoy a vineyard in Northern Cali.

We discovered a happy spot for wine tastings, just south of Los Gatos, along my usual drive to work from Santa Cruz.
Wrights Station Vineyard & Winery is a fantastic place to go for a comfortable sit by a fireplace, delicious light bites and (of course) a great selection of wines to enjoy!
I tried the selection of reds and she tried the selection of white wines for our tasting. We really enjoyed their Pinot Gris! They also had good Chardonnays with little to no oaky flavors or too buttery of a taste (to each their own, but we like crisp white wines!).
The staff was super friendly and accommodating!
We plan to return with some friends and take advantage of some of the other spots within this location to sit and enjoy some great wine!

Cozy, charming winery. Their wines were a delightful treat!

Fun afternoon tasting a wide spectrum of wines. Enjoyed the variety and took home an excellent cab franc. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly and respectful

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.

Wineries are great—but Wrights Station Winery stands out among the rest because of their hospitality, the enchanting views, the wine, and their natural ability to exude warmth and welcoming vibes.

We stumbled upon Wrights Station years ago while on a work assignment to research lost railroad tracks that connected San Jose to Santa Cruz. Wrights Station has a rich, fascinating history involving Chinese railroad workers, the military, TNT, the 1905 earthquake, and the legacy of local entrepreneurs and pioneers that influenced Santa Cruz and the SC mountains. Wrights Station Winery was once a rail stop for families on picnic excursions from the South Bay to Santa Cruz. Today, it is *the* perfect picnic excursion.

The winery itself is situated on a sunny hill surrounded by vines and redwood trees. Dan the winemaker is often seen interacting and serving guests.

It’s dog friendly. There are fun events and pop ups throughout the month. A beautiful venue for hosting. Amazing deals for wine club members: 4 free tastings 2x a month, discounts, special events, and more.

My partner loves wine, and I find wine and wineries intimidating. We take all our friends and out of town guests here. Wright Station has something for everybody. Dani in particular is warm and delightful. We always look forward to seeing her and she makes us feel right at home.

No food menu on Sunday. We thought we will have some wine and food, but no luck. Just wine. We were fortunate to get some oysters after a long long wait. Have been to better wineries with more fun and froli . This one is ok. Nothing great! People are good though. Friendly and polite.

I’m going to give this winery four stars. I debated three stars or four stars. But I’m gonna give it a second visit before I make my final decision. We got Santa Cruz wine passports. And decided this would be the first winery to visit with our passport. It’s a beautiful setting. Very clean and the staff are for the most part extremely friendly. Though there was a grumpy old guy behind the wine counter. Who was a little unpleasant to deal with. When we were trying to figure out which wine flight to purchase and follow through with the transaction. But we didn’t allow his cantankerous behavior to affect our moods. The thing was the staff was overwhelmed with a large influx of people. We did get our wine rather quickly. But never saw anyone after that. So we didn’t take the opportunity to actually purchase any wine. Like we usually do. at first I thought this was just bad timing but another friend who is a major wine connoisseur that I talk to about my experience. Had the same experience at this winery. My suggestion to this business would be. Prepare for your large weekend in fluxes of tourists. Because you’re missing out on a lot of sales when you don’t follow through after the tasting to inquire what people thought of the wine and if they’re interested in buying anything.

Attended a bridal shower here. Lovely venue!

Have had a couple large events (20-30 people) with Wright Station, and we have had a great time. The staff is easy to work with and very knowledgable about their wines. It's a fun atmosphere and great wine.
