After 33 years of being up in the mountains and hard to find, Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard has moved into town! We are now located on the west side of the city of Santa Cruz at 334-A Ingalls Street right by Kelly’s Bakery.
We are in a neighborhood with a number of other winery tasting rooms, all within a couple blocks of each other. For the full listing of our neighbor wineries you can go to www.surfcityvintners.com
We plan to start regular weekend tasting room hours very soon. For now we’ll be open most Saturday and Sundays, but since we aren’t necessarily open every single weekend at the moment we ask that you please give us a call or email for our specific hours. We are also very happy to schedule appointments for visits at any time.

Jeff Emery is the proprietor, winemaker, truck driver, chief paper pusher, tasting room manager, and basically anything else he needs to be to make this small business work. He first came to Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard in July of 1979 and ended up working with Ken Burnap, the winery's founder, in what can best be described as an old-fashioned apprenticeship. Jeff took over the business in 2002 when Ken retired. See the History section of this website for more details. |

Andrea Webster married Jeff in 1990 and managed to immediately absorb the nuances of what goes on at the winery. Her role at the winery is mainly during tasting events when the wines are presented to the public and the trade. Her main vocation is as a reference librarian for the City of Watsonville and Cabrillo College. |

Denis Hoey wears all kinds of hats at Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard. He’s the Assistant Winemaker who works in collaboration with Jeff on all the wine blends and cellar practices. He also sometimes plays business manager and he’s the one who oversees the viticultural practices of our contract vineyards. |

Susan Pufahl is in charge of words at Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard. She makes sure that people can understand what Jeff is trying to say in any printed materials regarding the winery by keeping his rambling writings under control. She is also the co-designer of the Wine Club and much of the web site content and is pretty darn handy to have around at crush time, too. In her other life she performs music with her husband as Dana and Susan Robinson, www.robinsongs.com |

Vicki Boriack has been helping with events at the winery since 1997. She is the friendly and knowledgeable face seen behind the table when Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard goes on the road for special tastings, or during our special events like the annual Vintner’s Festival. |

Zima and Iris work in public relations, vermin control, and provide general amusement and entertainment for the winery. Iris in particular makes sure that any food dropped on the ground doesn’t have time to go bad. Zima is a Samoyed-Husky-Wolf and Iris is a Samoyed-Labrador. They are first cousins and share a pure-bred Samoyed grandmother, but you’d never know that to look at Iris. |
