Nicholson Vineyards is an award winning Santa Cruz Mountains family owned boutique winery in Aptos in the Corralitos foothills producing chardonnay, pinot noir and olive oil. The winery grounds are planted with four acres of estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, as well as 4 acres of Tuscan varietal olive trees. In addition to our wonderful extra virgin olive oil, we produce over 1000 cases of

wine annually, which include limited releases of our estate wines, as well as additional production of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah Grenache, Sangiovese and Zinfandel from Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. The winery is open for tasting Saturdays 11 to 5 pm (and Sundays 1-5 pm during the summer), except for special event days (please call 831-724-7071 to confirm). We hope you have the opportunity to visit, and join us in savoring a glass of wine. Relax and enjoy the vineyard and valley views while you share a picnic lunch with friends under the Oaks.

Three years from now, weโ€™ll open a bottle made from these grapes.

Today, theyโ€™re our very first pick of the 2026 estate harvestโ€”Chardonnay headed for our sparkling program and destined to become the next vintage of Frances.

And so it begins. ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฅ‚
