(224)

Nicholson Vineyards is an award winning Santa Cruz Mountains family owned boutique w**ery in Aptos in the Corralitos foothills producing chardonnay, pinot noir and olive oil. The w**ery 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 w**e annually, which include limited releases of our estate w**es, as well as additional production of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah Grenache, Sangiovese and Zinfandel from Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. The w**ery 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 w**e. Relax and enjoy the vineyard and valley views while you share a picnic lunch with friends under the Oaks.

One week ago, we gathered under the stars for our annual W**emaker’s Dinner.

Paella, Nicholson w**es, family, great conversation, and new friendships - the kind of evening that makes this place so special!

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Here’s to many more nights around the table!

With temps in the 80s this weekend, we’re holding onto summer a little bit longer!

Last call for a favorite!

We’re down to the final bottles of our 2023 Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Reserve - and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Stop by the tasting room this weekend to pick up a bottle (or a few!) while they’re still available, or order online through the link in our bio.

A lot has changed since our first harvest. But the heart of it hasn’t.

Through the years, harvest has meant early mornings, long days, dirty hands, plenty of laughter and a whole lot of memories made together.

The vintages change and the years pass, but Nicholson has always been rooted in the same things: family, farming, and sharing what we grow.

Here’s to another harvest—and another chapter in the Nicholson story.
