Sharing a passion for wines and food, one sip at a time
A Legacy of Coastal Wines
Nestled amidst the alluring Santa Cruz Mountains, Pelican Ranch Winery is a family-owned establishment with a deep-rooted passion for crafting distinctive wines. Founded in 1997, our journey has been driven by a profound appreciation for the unique character of coastal vineyards and a desire to capture their essence in every bottle.
Crafting Elegance and Flavor
Our meticulously crafted wines are a testament to the meticulous combination of old-world winemaking traditions and innovative techniques. Guided by the expertise of Head Winemaker Phil Crews, we prioritize elegance and finesse, resulting in wines that are both complex and approachable. We limit each vineyard selection to just 200 cases, ensuring that every bottle reflects the distinct character of its origins.
The Expertise Behind The Label
Phil Crews, a respected Ph. D. researcher and wine educator, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our winemaking process. His passion for marine science and his groundbreaking research on "Wines & Smoke Taint" have revolutionized our understanding of wine preservation.
A Team of Dedicated Winemakers
Beyond Phil's leadership, we are fortunate to have a talented team of experienced associates - Mitch Crews, Matt Wilson, Igor Voronin, and Jose Guzman. Together, we share a deep commitment to meticulous grape selection, meticulous fermentation, and meticulous aging.
