The winery story
Monte Bello is Ridge Vineyards’ Santa Cruz Mountains estate. The visitor site sits high above the Santa Clara Valley, with vineyard slopes and long views. The official page offers seated tastings and explains the reservation process. Tasting flights can include wines from Ridge’s other vineyards, so visitors should distinguish the estate location from the origin of each wine poured.
The connection to the land
Monte Bello is in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. It appears in our Central Coast travel guide, but Santa Cruz Mountains is excluded from the Central Coast AVA.
Plan a visit
Reserve through Ridge’s official Monte Bello page. Check travel directions and current visitor policies before driving up the mountain road.
