About Byington Winery

Byington Winery carries the family surname of the Byingtons, their name on a Santa Cruz Mountains estate built among the redwood forests of Bear Creek Road in the Los Gatos hills. The estate at 2,000 feet elevation in the Santa Cruz Mountains produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay from mountain vineyard blocks that benefit from the appellation's dramatic fog and cool-air influence.

Established in 1987, Byington is one of the Santa Cruz Mountains' historically significant modern wineries, the Byington family building their estate at a period when the appellation's reputation as a serious fine wine growing zone was first being nationally established. The redwood-forested Bear Creek Road setting makes the estate one of the Santa Cruz Mountains' most dramatically natural visitor experiences.

The Bear Creek Road estate includes picnic grounds and views over the forested mountain terrain, making Byington one of the Santa Cruz Mountains' most complete destination winery experiences.
