Vine Hill Winery1576 visitors
Gatos Locos wines are produced at the historic Vine Hill Winery. The name “Vine Hill” is derived from the name of the Vine Hill Wine District in which our winery is its heart. In 1863, two brothers, George and John Jarvis, purchased the 300 acre “Rancho San Andres” in what is now the Vine Hill district above the city of Scott’s Valley. By 1868, there were 240,000 grape vines in the county, covering approximately 300 acres, 90% of which had been planted by the Jarvis’s and sold to other wine romantics (excerpted from “Late Harvest, Wine History of the Santa Cruz Mountains).
Cumbre of Vine Hill Pinot Noir wines are produced exclusively from the
highest quality fruit grown in The Santa Cruz Mountains Wine Appellation.
With a rich and colorful winemaking history dating back to the 1860s, the
Vine Hill District remains to this day one of the most prominent and
highly regarded winegrowing regions in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Please join us and see why Cumbre of Vine Hill is
at the very summit of quality, taste and perfection. | Santa Cruz, CA
