Byington Winery Tour, Tasting & Lunch, Los Gatos

By Eva Schlosser

Please join us for a day of wine and fun in the Los Gatos hills at the Byington Winery. We will begin our day with a tour of the winery and a tasting and then enjoy a picnic style lunch in the gardens. This is open to all club members and their guests. Guests must be at least 15 years old.

A bit of history about the winery; Bill and Mary Byington, in 1958, purchased 95 mountainous acres surrounded by redwood forests as a family retreat. In the early 1970s, a well-known Santa Cruz Mountains winemaker approached the family, wanting to lease a portion of their land for vineyards. A keen wine collector, Bill was intrigued, and the seed for future vineyard cultivation was planted. Almost twenty years after leaving his family farm in Idaho, Bill returned to his farming roots and planted nine acres of pinot noir on the southernmost tip of the rugged Santa Cruz Mountains terrain. Byington Vineyard & Winery was established with its vintage 1987 release.

Tour begins promptly at Noon, please arrive by 11:45am to allow time for traffic on Hwy 17 and parking.
