Charmant Vineyards — Attraction in Capitola

Rocio is the tasting room specialist who we've come to love and adore over the years. The wines are very well-made they usually have a Chardonnay and some great Pinots Noirs. They also have things to pair with their wines such as gourmet chocolate, almonds and chocolate. They have other drinks available such as bubbly and a non-alcohol soda from South Africa that's really good. Eugene & Jules are the owners and are very special people that we just knew were going to turn this winery into a destination place which it is now. They are not too far from Aptos village and I highly recommend that you check them out. I wanted to add that starting this month Sept 2025, they are open on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and Alejandro and Bess are going to be the wine servers on Fridays and Sunday. They also increased their hours so this is very good news for the wine...

Charmant Vineyards is a true gem in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. The family-owned winery offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, stunning views of the vines and ocean, and some of the best small-lot wines in the region. Every sip feels handcrafted with care — the Pinot Noir was a standout! Unlike crowded, commercial spots, Charmant delivers an intimate, relaxing experience that makes you want to stay all afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone looking to discover authentic coastal California...

Eugene’s winery is nothing but amazing. Great wine, great views, great people, all in Aptos’s backyard! We used to live in SF and have done our fair share of Napa and Sonoma runs, but Charmant stands out amongst the best. So happy to have the owners, Eugene and Jules as part of the community. They are onsite and super friendly. Highly recommend a visit for both locals and visitors. Join...
