About Us

Pelican Ranch Winery is a small, family owned and operated winery specializing in Rhone and Burgundy style wines from the best vineyards in California. Established in 1997, the winery is located a short distance from Monterey Bay which provides the constant, cool, coastal influence that allows for controlled, slow fermentation. The result is rich, full-flavored, complex wines. Pelican Ranch wines are labeled according to their single-vineyard designation. Production is limited to 100 cases from each vineyard.

The winery began commercial production in 1997 in a shared space in Scotts Valley. February 1, 2011, marked the opening of their new facility in Capitola. Owners Phil and Peggy Crews love their location with its easy access off Highway 1 and proximity to quaint Capitola Village. Pelican Ranch is easy to find whether you're a local or a weekend visitor.

The relaxed atmosphere of our tasting room, coupled with fun, knowledgeable staff and great wines, guarantees a wonderful tasting experience.
