Rhys Horseshoe Vineyard Courses

Rhys Horseshoe Vineyard is a California-based winery that produces award-winning wines from heirloom Rhys vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The winery produces a catalog of terroir-driven Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay. The winery was founded in 1994 by two friends, Kevin Harvey and Jeff Brosious, who wanted to create wines that incorporated the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains into their bottles. The winemaking journey took them on a journey to discover the region’s best vineyards, both old and new. From those vineyards they were able to harvest the heirloom Rhys (pronounced Reese) grape, a rare varietal thriving in the cool climate vineyards of the region. The winery and vineyard focus on sustainability, dry farming and sustainable viticulture, which emphasis the natural features of the land and the indigenous Rhys grape. The wines are passionately crafted on a small scale, with low yields and intense focus on quality from vine to bottle. The Rhys Horseshoe Vineyard lineup includes Original and Reserve bottlings of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc. The wines have earned honors from prestigious award bodies, such as the San Francisco Chronicle and the Critics Challenge, and have been served to a number of world leaders and dignitaries, including the President of the United States. Rhys Horseshoe Vineyard is a family-owned winery, with a passion for crafting small-lot, handcrafted wines that capture the beauty and bounty of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
