History
We are located just 19 miles from the Pacific Ocean on California's central coast in picturesque Santa Maria valley. The majestic San Rafael Mountains form a spectacular backdrop to our 78 acre vineyards and estate. To that, we add a world-class selection of handcrafted wines and a caring, professional staff. While our setting is very remote, we are only 5 miles away from highway 101 and conveniently located to a wide spectrum of overnight accommodations. Norman Beko, our owner and winemaker, and his wife Sharon established Cottonwood Canyon Winery in 1988 with an enduring focus on the production of handcrafted estate grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Our wines have received awards from esteemed tasting panelists, prestigious wine competitions and industry magazines.
Specialties
Estate grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah made in the classic French tradition. Cave tours with barrel tastings offered by appointment.
