About The Winery

In 1949, retired Sheriff deputy Amos Beauregard planted 13 acres of vines composed of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, & Chardonnay at the Beauregard Ranch, and farmed the land until his final days. Amos' son Emmit (Bud) Beauregard, founder of Shopper's Corner Grocery Store in Santa Cruz, farmed the family land for a lifetime while running the family store. Bud's son Jim Beauregard took to farming at a very young age with his grandfather Amos. In 1982 Jim worked rigorously to establish the Ben Lomond Mountain AVA, a distinctively different terroir than the rest of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Over the years, Jim has planted hundreds of acres of vines throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains and still maintains his 68 acres of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Jim's son Ryan Beauregard is the current winemaker for Beauregard Vineyards and created his first vintage in 2000. Ryan's first emphasis in winemaking is to produce wines that show the flavor of the land, which the French call Terroir. Secondly he choose to make wines that show Typicity, wines that are varietal correct in character. The combination of these two philosophies is the backbone for Beauregard wines. We are a family operated winery creating some old world style, award winning wines in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
