Explore California Wineries near Cypress – A Kimpton Hotel

Nestled in Santa Clara Valley near San Jose, Cypress Hotel puts you at the doorstep of award-winning California wineries. Our boutique hotel is ideally located for exploring the outstanding vineyards and wineries of the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA.

Silicon Valley may be best known for its booming high-tech industry, but this region is also important in the history and future of California winemaking. Pioneers like Paul Masson tilled the soil for some of California’s best wineries. In fact, Masson’s historic Mountain Winery does more than make great wine – it has become a popular event venue renowned for its outdoor Mountain Winery summer concert series.
