About Charmant Vineyards

Charmant is a small family winery on Larsen Road in Aptos, a stone's throw from Aptos Village and the coast. Eugene and Juliette Theron established it in 2017, with Eugene making the wine.

The brief is narrow on purpose: sustainable farming and minimal-intervention winemaking aimed at producing something that expresses the Charmant property and the Pinot Noir grape, rather than a broad range.

Tastings centre on an elevated flight of three, a Chardonnay alongside the Le Refugie and Estate Pinot Noirs, with an optional artisanal chocolate pairing. Wine is also poured by the glass and bottle.

Guests are welcome to bring a picnic basket and settle in, which suits a property whose owners describe it as intimate rather than grand. It doubles as a wedding and event venue for up to a hundred people.

One practical note the winery makes itself: it does not take part in the Santa Cruz Mountains Passport Program, so a passport will not get you a tasting here.

A 2017 Aptos estate chasing one thing - what Pinot Noir does on this particular piece of ground.

What Wino Notion Loved
Visit pending, based on winery profile & reputation
Single-minded about PinotSustainable farming and minimal intervention aimed squarely at expressing one property and one grape.
Chocolate pairing optionThe three-wine elevated flight can be paired with artisanal chocolate, which few rooms in the region offer.
Bring a picnicGuests are invited to bring a basket and linger, with several spots on the property to spread out.
Dogs and children both welcomePets are fine in outside areas provided they are friendly, and the winery is explicit that well-behaved children are welcome too.
Walk-ins takenReservations are encouraged because seating is limited, but the room does take walk-ins and does not charge at booking.
"Small, warm and unusually clear about what it is trying to do with Pinot Noir."
