Soquel Vineyards

"Nice property. Decent wines. Good prices. Great service. Tasting is $10 for 5 wines. They make a nice variety of wines, but more pinot noir and red heavy with some Italian styles. Wines are all very fragrant, but taste was ok. Only 1 standout wine. They waive the tasting fee for every 2 bottle purchase, but their flexible. Bottles are mostly $30-50 Stephanie was awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about the wines. Not very busy on a Saturday. Outdoor seating only. A bit strange that there was only 1 low table with chairs. Rest were all high top standing tables so be prepared to stand or sit in the sun on the side areas. Open seating. You go up to the bar area to get your own wines and taste at your own pace. Only 1 restroom. Self serve water provided. No food allowed (not sure why, they don't sell food)"

"Beautiful view but service was poor, no food not even breadsticks were even allowed. They had only tank water you can pour in cup for those who didn’t drink. I won’t be coming back to soquel vineyards. We went to Bargeto afterwards, the service was very impressive, they came to our table to pour wine for tasting & they were friendly and they looked like they really enjoy being there. You could buy jams, chocolates & they had breadsticks. I highly recommend Bargeto"

"A beautiful vineyard with great views, enjoyable wine, and engaged, informative staff. Many thanks to Stephanie for such a wonderful visit!"

"Always a great experience at our favorite local vineyard. Paul and the staff make the experience so pleasant. (Hope to see Peter back again soon)"

"TDLR: Beautiful Ocean View vineyard with a peaceful setting, great wines, staff that treats you like family, and the freedom to drink, walk, and mingle as you please. Highly recommended for couples looking for something a bit more romantic or families looking for some good wine and conversation. Read more below: Serene and beautiful vineyard located in the hills above Capitola with view of Monterey Bay and the expanse of beautiful ranches and properties in the surrounding areas. Highly recommended wine tasting experience if you appreciate views, wonderful customer service, serenity, the sounds of nature, and above all, good wine. Special recognition here for the personalized service and affordable prices of the wine tasting experience. We came here looking for an alternative to Napa Valley which is constantly booked and overpriced. We actually found a place that rewarded us with beautiful views of the ocean, and a friendly Northern California vibe that suits more local frequented establishments."
