Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards

The family ranch that is home to Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards is definitely a destination worth knowing. Owned and farmed by the family since 1893, the land is still very much a working ranch, complete with riding stables and 28 acres of flourishing estate vineyards.

Situated in an ideal spot, just 20 minutes south of San Jose and 45 minutes northeast of Monterey, Guglielmo (Gool-yell-mo) Winery surprises many first-time visitors with its Old-World grace and charm.
