About Madson Wines

Madson Wines is worth considering when you are willing to plan the visit rather than improvise it. Its draw is natural-wine character, transparent flight pricing, later weekend hours and a clear distinction between weekend walk-ins and weekday appointments, but the limited-access model is central to the experience and should shape the entire itinerary. For Madson Wines, westside Santa Cruz is one of the easiest parts of the region to explore without committing to mountain roads, and its tasting rooms pair naturally with food, breweries and a broader city afternoon. For Madson Wines, advance planning can actually improve the tasting: fewer walk-in expectations often mean more room to talk about vineyard, vintage and winemaking choices. For Madson Wines, arrive with a few questions and let the host build a sequence that explains the producer rather than simply pouring a fixed checklist.

Current amenity information includes outdoor seating: Urban tasting room; exact seating verify. For Madson Wines, because limited-access wineries often attach different rules to special events, private appointments and seasonal open days, confirm the exact version of the experience you are booking rather than assuming every amenity applies every time.

The current schedule is Monday-Thursday, 12:00-6:00 PM by appointment; Friday 3:00-8:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday 12:00-8:00 PM; fee information is $30 for five wines; waived with a three-bottle purchase.

What Wino Notion Loved

Visit pending, based on winery profile & reputation

✓

Taste in the cellar itselfThe room is inside the production space, not a separate storefront, so the winemaking is in front of you.

✓

Small mountain vineyardsFruit comes from small Santa Cruz Mountains sites farmed organically and regeneratively, which limits volumes.

✓

All ages in the roomChildren are welcome in the space, with wine served only to guests 21 and over - not every winery is this clear.

✓

Long weekend hoursOpen to 8pm Friday through Sunday, later than most of the row.

✓

Walkable neighboursSones Cellars, MJA Vineyards and Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard are all within a short walk on the same street.

"Low-intervention mountain fruit poured among the tanks that made it."
