Monte Bello

Tasting Room – Saturday & Sunday
Visiting Monte Bello on a weekend does not require a reservation for small groups of 8 or less. We offer three unique tasting flights, “Single-Vineyard” ($10), “Estate Single-Vineyard” ($15), and “Estate Single-Vineyard w/ Monte Bello” ($25, and includes our flagship Monte Bello). Wine Club Members receive Estate and Single-Vineyard tastings complimentary for up to 4 guests.

Estate Tastings (Reservation Required, Seven Days a Week)
Available seven days a week, with two appointment times offered each day at 11am and 2pm. These semi-private tastings are $35 per person and include a short vineyard walk (weather permitting), a tour through our Old Winery barn, followed by a seated tasting of our single-vineyard Estate wines, including the current release of our legendary Monte Bello. The experience lasts at least 90-minutes and is limited to guests over 21 years of age.

Casual Lounge Tastings (Reservations Required, Monday Through Friday)
Enjoy a casual experience in our Monte Bello Tasting Lounge. Your host will guide you through a flight of five single-vineyard wines, including our flagship Monte Bello, while you learn about our rich history, pre-industrial philosophy, and commitment to single-vineyard winemaking. This is a great option for Club Members picking up their new release shipments. Please contact us with your request.

Private Tastings (Reservations Required, Seven Days a Week)
Private tastings and events are available in a variety of scenarios depending on your group size and your preferences. For date availability and a summary of guest offerings, please contact us with your request.

Picnicking
Our picnic area is available for use by customers during weekend hours on a first-come, first-serve basis. Monday through Friday picnicking is only available to guests who have made a reservation. Full picnic area policies are available here. We thank you for your cooperation.

Due to the presence of rattle snakes in the area, and for the safety of your animal, dogs are not permitted on the property.

Large Groups on Weekends
If you plan to visit our tasting room on a weekend, and you are traveling with a group of 9 or more, we ask that you notify us no later than 48 hours in advance of your visit; this is to try and ensure we have appropriate space and staff to properly host your group. Please submit your details to us online. Picnic area space is only available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

High Atop a Mountain
We are located at 2,300 feet in the northern reaches of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The drive up Montebello Road is a very winding route that occasionally becomes a single lane. Additionally, Montebello road is a popular bicycle route. Please allow sufficient time to ensure you are able to make your drive carefully up the mountain. Carpooling is encouraged and large trucks and buses should contact us prior to your trip to confirm access is available.
