Review:
Situated on a lovely stretch of land down in the Corralitos foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Nicholson Vineyards has been owned and operated by the same family for many generations now. Producing some especially delicious and elaborate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Nicholson Vineyards also makes an excellent olive oil. The friendly family staff will only be too happy to welcome you onto their land for some tastings and stories about the vineyard and local area.
This Santa Cruz winery opens up every Saturday for guests, with tastings taking place outside on the lawn, looking out over the land. The tastings are aslo very nicely priced here; for just $10, you can try five specialty wines, or increase that price to $15 for five estate/reserve wines. If you happen to buy a couple of bottles, you'll fee will be refunded entirely.
Nicholson Vineyards, 2800 Pleasant Valley Rd, Aptos, CA 95003, Phone: 831-724-7071
