Rhys Vineyards currently accepts a limited number of private appointment requests at its Skyline Vineyard and winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The live schedule lists Wednesdays and Fridays, with reduced availability around the early harvest.

This is an appointment request, not a walk-in tasting or a guarantee of a cave tour, vineyard walk, particular flight, or host.

How to request a Rhys Vineyards visit

Use the official visit request form, which requires registration and confirms that guests must be at least 21. Rhys also lists info@rhysvineyards.com and 866-511-1520 for appointment questions.

Wait for written confirmation before planning the drive. The winery says its schedule is limited and can tighten during harvest.

Skyline and Healdsburg are different options

The official visitor page separately points guests to a sister tasting room in Healdsburg that pours wines from Rhys and Centennial Mountain. That venue uses reservations@cmvineyard.com and (669) 240-5611.

Choose Skyline for a request tied to the Santa Cruz Mountains winery. Choose Healdsburg when a Sonoma-based tasting room is easier. Do not transfer one venue's availability, format, or rules to the other.

What to confirm before traveling

  • The exact venue and address
  • The appointment date and start time
  • Duration, price, and cancellation terms
  • The wines and physical access involved
  • Any transportation or footwear guidance

Those details are not all fixed on the public page. Asking directly is more accurate than repeating an older visitor's tasting lineup.
