Cinnabar Winery

Cinnabar Winery is a family-owned winery that embraces winemaking as a blend of science and nature’s magic. Rooted in the Santa Cruz Mountains at our lively Gilroy Tasting Room, we partner with local growers to transform California’s finest grapes into distinct and approachable wines.

GILROY Tasting Room is located in a beautiful 12 acre vineyard on Dryden Avenue. You will have the opportunity to sample our handcrafted wines with family and friends, and enjoy some sunshine in our expansive outdoor space, weather permitting. Most of our limited production wines are only available in the Tasting Room. Our dedicated and professional staff will provide a fun and educational tasting experience for you.

Our Wines

We revel in the variations of California’s diverse regions, from the Santa Cruz Mountains to Paso Robles, Santa Lucia Highlands, the Red Hills of Lake County, and Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley. Through longstanding partnerships with artisan growers, we cherish the land and climate variations that produce an array of fruit.

Under the guidance of Winemaker Alejandro Aldama, who has been with Cinnabar for over 30 years, every step of the winemaking process is carefully overseen. Meticulously selecting vineyards based on soil, climate, and viticultural practices, we cultivate grapevines that are hand-harvested in the morning cool and gently handled in nearby cellars. Fermented in small oak barrels or stainless steel tanks, our wines embody the essence of their respective regions. With mastery and patience, our cellar team ensures that each bottle of Cinnabar wine captivates with elegance and enchanting flavors.
