Summit Store is a family owned and operated grocery store located in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountain wine country.  That’s right!  Take a day off and experience the delectable, complex wines grown in the exclusive and distinct climate of the mountains.  There are over seventy wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains, fifty of which have very accommodating tasting rooms, not to mention spectacular ocean views!  There are approximately seventeen wineries with tasting rooms located within ten miles of the Summit Store.

The first stop on the road of your wine tasting journey should be the Summit Store and here’s why: We have an on-site sushi chef that will make your meal to order, a full-service meat department featuring choice and prime beef, poultry, exotic meats and fish, and award-winning marinades.  In addition, we have an accommodating deli that includes gourmet sandwiches, a hot bar for breakfast, lunch and dinner, a full salad bar and espresso bar.  We have introduced over 175 specialty select beers and can proudly say that we have the second largest beer selection in the Santa Cruz county. Our abundant cheese department features gourmet cheeses from all over the world highlighting Spain, Italy, and France to name a few.  The produce department strives to provide high quality, fresh, and affordable produce, many of which are grown locally.  We possess the largest selection of local Santa Cruz Mountain wines and a stellar collection of wines from all over the world.

​

As mountain residents and small business owners, we see ourselves as part of a larger community and we respect the land, the local farms, and the people that inhabit this illustrious mountain.  We strongly support the “Think Local First” movement and encourage others to do the same.  This is not just a place to come for hiking, mountain biking, or wine tasting; this is a place to experience and relish the more traditional, simpler way of life.  Some would say we are “behind-the-times,” but we say we’re right on time.
