Event Details
Wine OR Wine & Food
Vinocruz is the first, and only, wine shop and tasting room dedicated to Santa Cruz Mountains wine. Currently Vinocruz houses over 200 wines made by more than 70 wineries, all within the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. Tasting flights featuring these distinct wines are available daily, and change weekly.
Many of the wines you'll find here come from wineries that are rarely open to visitors, or not at all. These winemakers focus on quality, not quantity, and you'll soon see how that level of care and attention results in outstanding wines. Our hope is that you will find some of your old favorites, and discover some new ones as well.
Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher of the Wall Street Journal wrote of Vinocruz..... "A stylish little shop........As we stood there, surrounded by so many wines that we would never otherwise see, we felt like kids in a candy shop, or perhaps our daughter in a great shoe store."
After many years of being described as one of "the most under-appreciated wine regions in the world," the time has come to give Santa Cruz Mountain wines the attention they deserve......and all under one roof.
Vinocruz also stocks a large assortment of Riedel stemware and decanters, including the hand blown hand crafted Sommeliers series. Accessories include corkscrews from Chateau Laguiole of France, Original Rabbit, Metrokane, Blomus, cloth wine totes, and an assortment of cookbooks.
