Hunter & Hill Winery
Hunter Hill Winery is located two miles up Glen Haven Road from downtown Soquel, and is open for tastings 11AM - 4PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
We welcome groups by appointment. Many of our guests take a walk in the vineyards up to the gazebo to have a picnic and take in the view of Nicene Marks. Others enjoy sitting comfortably, on the lawn by the fountain, sipping a glass of wine. Our winemaker highly recommends this practice of quietly taking in the vineyards. It is, in his estimation, the ideal way to experience the seasons in temperate California.
