Join us Sunday, June 21st for our “New Wave of Santa Cruz Winemakers” Tasting! As one of California’s first American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), the Santa Cruz Mountains have long been recognized as a quality wine growing region. Today, a new generation of winemakers continues to make acclaimed wines showcasing the terroir of the area while incorporating more mainstream and non-traditional practices and methods, giving a new voice to this winemaking region.

• Companion Wine Co. with collaborating Winemakers Ryan Stirm and Andrew

• Nelson

• Florez Wines and Winemaker James Jelks
