Sunny Corralitos, at the southern, coastal end of the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, is 20 minutes south of Santa Cruz and an hour south of San Jose. 

In this idyllic spot for grape growing, four independent, family-owned wineries have established the Corralitos Wine Trail:

Alfaro Family Vineyards,
Nicholson Vineyards, 
Pleasant Valley Vineyards and Windy Oaks Estate Vineyards & Winery .

The Corralitos microclimate is perfectly suited to the production of our specialty, estate bottled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as other noted varietals.  On the short journey between our wineries, you travel along idyllic country roads surrounded by redwood trees, apple orchards, olive groves and flower farms.

 
Here the public can visit our wineries—up close and personal. Come meet us, see our vineyards in all their glory and taste our outstanding wines from true artisan winemakers.
