Santa Cruz Ferry Plaza Farmers Market at Depot Park
A lively mid-morning farmers market in the heart of Santa Cruz that perfectly captures the local, artisan spirit of the coastal mountains, grab a snack, some provisions, and soak in the community vibe before heading uphill.

Byington Winery
Byington sits in the mountains with a soul to match: natural wine sensibility, gorgeous outdoor seating, and a food-pairing program that makes this feel like a full afternoon well spent. This is exactly the kind of place you'll be telling friends about on the drive home.

Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards
Perched at one of the highest points in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Thomas Fogarty delivers sweeping views of the Peninsula and wines (especially pinot noir and chardonnay) that are as elegant and quietly confident as the setting itself. A boutique heavyweight.
