Mount Eden Vineyards is a small wine estate about 50 miles south of San Francisco, located at 2,000 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains and overlooking Silicon Valley. The winery was founded in 1945 and is one of the original California “boutique” wineries. They focus on small lots of pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. Mount Eden’s low-yielding estate vineyards are planted in austere, infertile shale on a cool and exposed mountaintop, and they have produced high-class wines for more than half a century. Mount Eden does not have a tasting room, but it does offer weekday tours of the upper wine cellar that include a tasting of three of their wines, as well as a seated tasting two Saturdays a month.
