Nestled in the rolling hills of Morgan Hill, Cottage Creek Vineyards is a family-owned estate crafting small-batch wines from vine to glass. No mass production—just patient viticulture, honest craft, and a welcome that feels like coming home.
Cottage Creek Vineyards began as a simple conviction: that the best wine isn’t made in a factory—it’s grown, tended, and coaxed from the earth with care. What started as a handful of vine cuttings on a Morgan Hill hillside has grown into a respected estate, but the philosophy hasn’t changed.
Every vine is hand-pruned. Every harvest is timed by instinct and weather, not calendar. We produce in small batches so that each bottle carries the unmistakable character of this place—the warm days, the cool Pacific influence, the volcanic soil that gives our wines their depth.
Three generations of hands in the vineyard, sharing the same land and love for the craft.
Limited production means every bottle receives personal attention from pruning to bottling.
We host local events, support regional charities, and pour a welcome for everyone who walks through our doors.
Each varietal is a reflection of our terroir—the unique combination of soil, climate, and slope that makes Cottage Creek distinct.
Rich blackcurrant and dark chocolate with a velvety finish. Aged 18 months in French oak.

Bright citrus and pear with a subtle toast. Crisp acidity balanced by a creamy mid-palate.
2022 Vintage · 13.9% ABV
Fresh strawberry and watermelon with a whisper of floral herbs. Perfectly refreshing on its own.

We drove in from the Bay Area on a whim and left with a case in the trunk and a promise to come back. The Reserve Cabernet changed how our family thinks about California wine.
The vineyard tour was the highlight of our weekend. Our host knew every row by name and made us feel like we’d been coming here for years. The Ros\u00e9 is addictive.
We hosted our engagement celebration here and it was magical. The sunset over the vines, the private tasting, the warmth of the family who runs this place—unforgettable.
