Storrs Winery

Storrs Winery is a family-owned winery located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, specifically in the Pleasant Valley district of Corralitos within the AVA. The winemakers, Pamela and Stephen Storrs, have a long history with the region, having worked and consulted for various wineries prior to establishing their own estate vineyard in 2007. Their focus is on producing high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, varietals they became enamored with during a trip to Burgundy in the 1980s. The winery's commitment to these classic Burgundian grapes has earned them multiple awards, including Best of Show at the California State Fair and San Francisco International Wine Competitions. The Storrs' approach to winemaking is deeply rooted in their philosophy of organic and sustainable farming practices. Their estate vineyard, established on 60 acres of land purchased in 2001, incorporates regenerative techniques to enhance soil health and biodiversity. The property features a mix of cover crops, including vetch, bell beans, and oats, which help combat soil infertility and raise organic matter. The winery's new eco-friendly facility, opened in 2018, showcases their dedication to environmentally responsible practices. Visitors can experience the terroir of the Santa Cruz Mountains through wine tastings at the on-site tasting room.
