MJA Vineyards’ pinot noirs and cabernets weave a purple blanket of flavors around the palate and a sauvignon blanc sings a crisp cantata to carry taste buds through the summer afternoon. Hand-picked wines from the Serene Cellars and DaVine Cellars collections pair the fruity, full-bodied flavors of Napa Valley with the seductive aromas of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Red-wine flights begin with the vineyard’s 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains pinot noir, a light-bodied wine infused with hints of cherries and black currants. A dark foursome of cabernet sauvignon then dons eye shadow and plays tunes of grapevine innocence lost that leave wine glasses clinking for an encore. Passengers on the white-wine flight also get a taste of the pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon, along with two lean and fruity sauvignon blancs.
Twosomes can swish and swallow their samples at each tasting room’s bar or take in the scenery out on the patio. All tastings wrap up with a hot cup of kona coffee that, like a good scrub with a toothbrush or a thin layer of Wite-Out, erases the remnants of wine from tongues. The Santa Cruz tasting room is open daily from noon to 6 p.m., while the Los Gatos tasting room is open Thursday–Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

About MJA Winery Tasting Room
The story of MJA Vineyards takes you on an adventure. The founder, Marin John Artukovich - the “MJA,” comes from a long line of Croatian tradesmen and farmers, seeped in the culture of winemaking. Although he was the first generation of his family to be born in the US, Marin grew up with that same hard-working spirit that propelled his family forward. He worked alongside his father in their family business and spent his free time surfing and playing professional beach volleyball.
To no one’s surprise, after years of hard work, Marin decided to retire and follow his passions to Hawaii, where he quickly fell in love with the people and the land. Always the entrepreneur, he found that he had a talent for growing Kona coffee, and for over 20 years, he has farmed the best Kona Coffee available. His coffee was named by Forbes as America's best coffee in 2001, and it won the Gevalia Cup in 2002 and the Pacific Coast Coffee Association Coffee of the Year Award in 2004.
During the process of farming the land, and handcrafting from its bounty, the winemaker in him was awakened. In August 2007, Marin purchased vineyards in Napa and made his first barrel of MJA wine under the Serene Cellars label. In 2011, he purchased more land in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where many of our DaVine Cellars grapes are grown. His success at growing and producing a high-quality product transferred to MJA Vineyards, with many of his wines placing in competitions across the United States, with the prestigious Los Angeles International Wine Competition being one among many.
