Woodside Vineyards

Woodside Vineyards is a historic winery located in San Carlos, California, within the Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation growing region. The winery focuses on crafting small production vineyards using locally grown grapes, carefully managed from vineyard to bottle to produce high-quality wines that reflect their unique terroir. Their commitment to sustainable practices and minimal processing ensures a premium product. Woodside Vineyards adheres to the principle of "terroir" or character, believing great wine starts in the vineyard, where grapevines are grown in healthy soil using environmentally friendly methods. The winery's history dates back to 1854 when Count Agostin Haraszthy planted some of California's first commercial vineyards near Woodside, although his initial attempt was unsuccessful due to the region's cool climate. Later, farmers discovered a more favorable microclimate just south in rural Woodside, where over 1,000 acres of grapes were eventually planted by the early 1900s. Today, visitors can join wine tastings and events at their San Carlos location or explore their wines online. The winery also offers a wine club for those who want to be part of their extended family.
