    Wine was great. Must try the Teslo! Patrick was an amazing host. I'll definitely be back to visit and taste some more!

    Tasting room

    A tiny winery with an unassuming tasting room punching well above its weight in quality. Despite only producing a few hundred cases each year, the offer a surprisingly variety of wines from a lite and refreshing rose to a bold and rich Cabernet. Their merlot and Syrah are also wonderful expressions of the grapes. While they aren't farmers, so they source all their fruit from the local area, they definitely have a knack for quality and finesse. Kudos to the wine maker. I was introduced to their wines from a gift by my SFO-based son so wanted to see them in person. While not as glamorous as some other wineries in the valley, they are making and selling a quality product at reasonable prices with the top end being in the $40-$50 range. Definitely Sotheby's a visit and at only $15 for a 5-wine tasting flight, a great value as well..

    Amazing wines! I've been a member for years. Quant and the staff, owner, and wine maker are amazing!

    Really nice wine release party. Catered by Posada. Tacos, sliders, chicken casserole with mole and fritters with salad. Delicious with the wine. And the cab that was released was very tasty indeed. The first glass we had was more tannic and acid than the second glass. I thought we were having two different wines- both good, but one that needed a little more aging and one that was mature now. The second glass had a wonderful cherry nose and silky soft tannins. Also had sediment which the first glass did not have. At any rate, delicious wine can be found here and if you become a member you'll enjoy their release parties. Sidewinder is a very attractive and welcoming space. Edit- I need to mention what a great time we had with Rick who works at Occasio. What a wonderful wealth of information he is about the wine! Actually, everyone who pours at Ocassio is fabulous, but Rick was so willing to share his knowledge with us. We really enjoyed learning from him!

    Wines and Spirits,

    They have a great Syrah. The Rose was outstanding also. They also partner with Sidewinders and members can purchase spirits.

    See all

    So I have very mixed feelings about this place. Some things are incredible. Some things are not…read moreso great. I am a member of the "Legends" club. So that to me means it's top of the line membership as indicated by their pricing and what we get. So I feel I should get top notch deals, pricing and service. Turns out, we get the same shaft as the lower club members. Starting with the good, the location is pristine. Nice area with lots of room for kids and adults to mingle and play. The wine is also pretty darn good. Of course there are some better than others but I enjoy most of their wine. The service is also for the most part very good. The waitstaff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their food is also pretty darn good. It's not incredible, and a bit overpriced but it's fine enough. Their wine pricing is also fair (but of course with the highest membership we get the biggest discount). My biggest complaints would be the price gouging and lack of communication. We made arrangements on a Friday to show Sunday with 6 and asked for the "VIP space upgrade to lounge or upstairs Vista Patio Lounge (when available)". They said no problem. When we showed on Sunday they said it was closed with no notice. Just a sorry. OK whatever. We sit inside (6 people and 2 children) and they charge for 2 children a "non drinker" charge of $10 ($5 each). A head count charge for non-drinkers? For children? Total nonsense! I am spending over $1,200 a year here and you want to gouge me for someone's kids? Their tastings are $40 a pop which is really crazy. Our price is waived on this so that's fine but if you are not a member you are paying a lot for a little. The wines do take a bit of time to come and they don't give you a lot. Kind of a bummer waiting for the taste. We ended up with 4 appetizers (sliders $24, Charcuterie $25, Tater Tots $12 and Pretzel Bites with Grilled Sausage $16) 2 bottles of wine and $4.25 for water and the bill was over $250. Oh and top that off, with 6 people, they charge a mandatory 20% on the bill for a tip and are basing that with taxes (as the button default), not the actual sub-total so they are actually getting about 23%. All in all, I am not sure that the cost is worth what you get. I mean we are giving them a lot of money just to be members and then having to pay more and more for anything else that really should be included (like water and kids) makes this place just a bit too over-rated for me. Probably end my club membership in the fall and go someplace that doesn't place money first.

Rich was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The back room was perfect for the kids to play, with a foosball table and movies that kept them entertained the entire visit. The food was fantastic -- the pizzas were absolutely fresh and delicious -- and the complimentary mimosas for the moms were such a thoughtful touch. The beer drinkers in our group also loved the beer flight. One of the highlights for the kids was getting to cork the bottles themselves, and we loved that they took a photo of all the moms and turned it into a custom bottle label for us to take home as a keepsake. It's rare to find a place that caters so well to both adults and children, and Tenuta Winery truly made our Mother's Day celebration unforgettable. We'll definitely be returning for future special events!

We also received a complimentary wine glass, which was such a nice touch. We noticed Bryan helping the table next to us as well, and he also provided excellent customer service. The entire place was very pretty, clean, and organized. They had an outdoor fire pit and kindly turned it on for me since I was cold--it definitely helped keep me warm along with the wine! The dip and crackers were so good--I especially loved the creamy cheese dip. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake; it was okay... but I have to say, Domino's lava cake might still be my favorite lol. Overall, we would definitely go again!

Cons - our server asked to see our IDs immediately (which is not a problem as I always expect to show my ID). The problem happened when the server was adamant my partner was "not the same person" on the ID. He then pulled out a second government ID and she was insistent AGAIN that it was not him. At this point it was already an awkward beginning and she had to get another person to check BOTH his LEGAL IDs to make sure it's him. That was a weird start to the tasting. - the pours are very small. I realize it's a "tasting" but I have been to many places where they give you twice the amount of wine -we bought a bottle for home, but once we got home realized it was not the correct one (this is partially our fault because we did not check before we left) -outdoor seating can be a little chilly because not all seats have heaters Pros - we had a reservation on a Monday afternoon which was easy to make and we were sat right away - you get a welcome glass of their sparkling wine - Mondays are 2 for 1 tastings, so a great deal for a casual weekday outing - all the wines we tasted were great
