"Burrell, California" was an early settlement in Santa Cruz County near the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains, convert|1.5|mi|km south-southeast of Wrights. It was named for Lyman John Burrell, who settled there in the early 1850s. There was a Burrell School, which was later abandoned. A hotel was operated by James Richard Wright, whose son John Vincent Wright was honored by the naming of Wright's Station, which was more commonly known as Wrights.

Cultivation and spraying are done with heritage Cletrac tractors; pruning, seasonal operations and picking are all done by hand. The winery is open for tastings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Tasting Room is located on the site of the original Teacher's Carriage House. The outside veranda overlooks the Estate vines with spectacular views of the canyons and ridges of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
