Trout Gulch Vineyards is tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains above the seaside village of Aptos. Since our inception in 1987 we have been committed to the noble Burgundian varietals: Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. The cool coastal climate of the Monterey Bay provides the opportunity to select vineyards that are perfectly suited for truly Classic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. We are dedicated to farming the finest, highest quality fruit because - Great wine begins in the vineyard. The subtle combination of sun, soil, water and cool coastal air lends to producing grapes that mature slowly. The vines are tended with exacting care. Wines of depth and character come from grapes with the same pedigree. Our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay embodies the true character of the mountains, time in a bottle. Trout Gulch wines have been made at Barry Jackson's Equinox Winery on the West Side of Santa Cruz since the 2006 vintage.
