In Santa Cruz, California, at 525 Pacific Avenue at the junction with Front Street, you will find the newly-build and stylish Big Basin Vineyards Tasting Room.
This is a nice location for sampling good wine and tasty snacks. It is both upscale and cozy.
The people that we met while hanging out, including the owner, Bradley Brown, were all friendly and eager to inform us about all the wines made by the Big Basin Winery. The Big Basin Winery, itself, is located at 830 Memory Lane, in Boulder Creek, CA. It is a trip that Elke and I are planning for the future as it is also a stop on our wine passport list. If you enjoy tasting wine in a lovely setting with ambiance, Elke and Dennis both recommend this stop.
