Mount Eden makes some fine wine, however, I have not visited the winery.
On the way to Ridge is Picchetti, which is WELL worth the stop. Take Freeway
280 to the Foothill Grant Road exit in Cupertino.Travel southwest on Foothill
Blvd. 3.5 miles (Foothill Blvd. changes names mid-point to Steven's Canyon
Road).You'll travel through a residential section, pass Steven's Creek County
Park, Stevens Creek Reservoir and Dam. Montebello Road will appear on your
right. Travel up Montebello road 6/10th of mile to Picchetti Winery.Take the
first left hand turn into Picchetti Winery.
