Windy Oaks Estate Winery and Vineyards is located at the southern, coastal end of the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, 1,000 feet up on a ridge overlooking the Monterey Bay.  We will host a private cheese and barrel tasting of our award-winning, highly rated estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, for 6 people.  Judy & Jim Schultze, the proprietors and winemakers, will lead the tour and provide the barrel tasting.

The afternoon will consist of a walking tour of our 15-acre vineyard, with wine tasting on the ridge overlooking the Monterey Bay.  Artisanal cheeses and local breads to complement the wines will accompany the sample tasting.  
After the walk, you will return to the winery, nestled in the redwoods, andtaste from our unreleased vintages still in their French oak barrels. Jim, the master winemaker, will explain his innovative Burgundian style all-gravity winemaking techniques, from harvest and crush, through to barrel aging.

The event will last approximately 2 hours.

This is a perfect event for anyone who is interested in how premier grapes are grown, and artisan wine is made, in a small family estate vineyard and winery.
