Such a cozy place with decor. My favorite thing I had the night I visited was the Genovese flat bread! I am a big fan of wine, so means a lot when the food doesn’t leave my mind at all tasting room. I’ll be back!

I like the people here. They do have some great tapas to try and the wine captures the soul of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

A what beautiful glass of rosé wine from the tap. The wine is fruity delicious and refreshing. I’ve tried tons of rose’ had my personals on their beautiful wooden encounter and I needed to have it all in the photo. This wine is just as beautiful as my wares. EDSean and Juan are usually here on the weekends.

My favorite downtown wine bar, serves my fave summer sipping delight…a lovely rosé on tap so it’s got some bubbly effervescence too! They have lots of other great wines, and their food is top notch. Chef Juan makes delicious Argentinian empanadas, as well as other tasty bites. All of this and great service….as soon as you arrive Laurie makes you feel at home with her warm smile, Shannon, Ed, the other folks will take great care of you, and of course owner Bradley, all combine to create an unforgettable experience!

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon to relax and enjoy a bottle of wine.
Kristine was out server as we sat in a quiet corner relaxing for a couple of hours.
Local wines are good in a flight or just enjoy by the glass or bottle. And don't forget to bring a bottle home.

We’ve now been to both the winery in Boulder Creek and the tasting room in Santa Cruz. The ambience at both is wonderful. The tasting room has great food and a beautiful outdoor space for our dog. Ed is always great, friendly and super attentive. Highly recommend all the wine, but especially the Grenache!
