At the southern, coastal end of the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, there is a temperate little valley and mountain area called Corralitos, about 20 minutes south of Santa Cruz. In this idyllic spot for grape growing, five independent, family-owned wineries have established the Corralitos Wine Trail: Pleasant Valley Vineyards, Alfaro Vineyards, Nicholson Vineyards, Natal Vineyards and Windy Oaks Estate Winery. We are a short distance to one another, and specialize in estate pinot noir and chardonnay, but produce other varietals as well.
