Richard Alfaro and and his wife Mary Kay (a certified sommelier) enjoy the fruits of their labor. After a satisfying career as the founders of a restaurant and the wholesale baking company known under their own name - Alfaro's Micro Bakery - the couple shifted gears in 1997, acquiring an aging 75 acre apple farm south of Santa Cruz in Corralitos, California, which they subsequently transformed into Alfaro Family Vineyards & Winery. With 56 acres currently under vine, the most-recently planted 8 acres was CCOF Certified Organic in 2010.
Out tasting room consists of a 16 foot granite tasting bar with two adjacent picnicking areas. Always kid and dog friendly! Kids can play on our basketball court, use our coloring books and playdough - free apple juice too! Enjoy tasting wines in our intimate tasting room or bring a picnic and take in the view from our deck overlooking the vines.
