Muccigrosso Vineyards is a family-run endeavor, committed to producing small batches of high quality, handmade, fine wines that are designed to satisfy most everyone’s palate.
In the early 1980’s, owners Michael and Lynne Muccigrosso purchased a remote property located outside of Los Gatos, in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains. From the top of Bear Creek Road, the winery is physically located down a two and a half mile winding dirt driveway; but don’t bother coming to look for us, as we do not have a public tasting room. Shortly after moving into a geodesic dome on the property, Michael began to prepare several locations to dry farm Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay.
Thanks to our local and loyal fan base, family and friends, support from fellow wineries and winemakers–as well as some good seasonal fortune and a foolhardy sense of adventure–we became a bonded winery in 2001. We have stayed true to our roots since that time, keeping our production limited so as to maintain a hands-on approach to our winemaking.
