When you arrive at Thomas Fogarty Winery, you will be greeted by a spectacular view that looks across Silicon Valley. From there, you and three of your guests will embark on a tour led by Tom Fogarty Jr, see the beautiful estate, and taste magnificent wine.

The winery was founded after Dr. Thomas Fogarty had already established his career as a cardiovascular surgeon and inventor. But he left that behind to follow his heart, beginning his venture into the world of winemaking. Always a visionary, Dr. Fogarty sparked something new in the Santa Cruz Mountains by planting grapes along Skyline Ridge.

Today, Fogarty Winery is run by his son, Tom Fogarty Jr., and spans 25 acres of Burgundian-style varietals. After decades of fine-tuning and care, the family’s dream of producing high-quality wines that take full advantage of the unique soil and climate of their terroir has become reality.

Your tour through the eight estate vineyards with Tom Fogarty Jr. will not only give you insight into the vineyard’s history of organic farming practices; you will be treated to unforgettable views, sounds, and smells as you meander through your guided tour of a breathtaking Santa Cruz vineyard.
