    I've been trying to get to Picchetti Winery for some time and finally made it today. It's a beautiful drive to the winery, which is next to the trailhead. We hiked the Zinfandel trail and then had a lovely picnic lunch. There are several picnic tables and most are shaded. We then made our way to the tasting room. It was quite crowded today, but we didn't have to wait too long. For $25 we got to taste five wines. The pours were okay for the price. The wines were yummy and staff very friendly. I wish the tastings were seated though. I will definitely be back, possibly in the fall.

    Latest wine club shipment...

    Located in the scenic hills, Picchetti is a perfect escape to a journey in enjoyment rarely seen in a world of boring, pedantic, over priced, run-of-the-mill forgettable wine. Their genius method of finding the proper AVA's to source the best grapes for both 100% varietals and blends - Santa Cruz Mountains, Central Coast, Lodi, Paso Robles...hell, they source from a vineyard in Palo Alto - to fit their style of wine makes them a top tier house that will change your life. Oh, and yep they do a damn fine job of Methode' sparkling (The Rose' bubbly is magic). Great wine club - each shipment includes actual useful items: wine stopper, wine glass polishing towel, corkscrew, etc. Miss out at your own risk.

    Nice family winery with picnic area and hiking trails. Good wines. Friendly staff. We did a short hike before visiting the tasting room. We were greeted by the estate's peacock and fluffy black kitty. Fun place. We will come back again.

    Not sure why people think 5 pours for $25 is an expensive tasting, because hellooo??? Have you BEEN to Napa? Be for real here lol. Great wine selection and very nice staff. It's a stand up style tasting and worked for us after our little hike. I think their outdoor area is great! So many people having picnigs and enjoying the outdoors, but I don't see myself coming early and trying to secure a spot here. Solid wine though; I'd come back for a hike and drink!

    I love Pichetti. The outdoor space has a ton of picnic tables, peacocks walking around etc. the ambiance is so lovely for a picnic or even a birthday party. There are also several hikes right around to see gorgeous views of the bay. The wine tasting menu was also reasonable and the folks helping us out were super knowledgeable. The wine was also delicious. Would come back for sure.

    Be warned this is a kid friendly place.... I brought a group of 8 here for my birthday in November. We were able to get a group of 2 tables away from the families, thankfully. The grounds were well kept and the tables were wooden but clean. The wine was absolutely amazing, a bit pricey but delicious (+/-$50 per). I would come here again just to pick up some bottles to go because I just don't agree with children being able to run around free in a space intended for adults. 4 starts simply for the wine and great service. Minus one for outside the atmosphere and family environment

    First time wine tasting and they see the bar for me. Got the customizable flight. I tried all of their white wines and a sparkling rose and enjoyed every sip for real. Type shii, good ahh spot, got me writing yelp reviews

    Picchetti Winery sits atop a beautiful winding road with gorgeous view and (definitely a first for me!) its own hiking trail! We didn't go this time since we had no idea and were underprepared for a hike, but we walked a bit down the trail and it was so lovely. I was very pleasantly surprised by the open grassy areas, picnic benches, and the sheer amount of families/groups present! I had never seen so many happy kids running around a winery, it was super wholesome. Tastings are only $25 per person (sharing is OK), and you have the freedom to pick from a list of wines. The tasting was super lax, our pourer did a great job explaining some background about our selected wines and was very timely with each pour. We were in and out in about 25 minutes. I had a great experience! I think this place is great for a fun casual date, and you can even go on a little walk/hike on the trail afterwards to talk about what you tasted. Super cute, highly recommend!

    A freind and I went to the Ridge Winter Soiree - a member event in February. This was on a Thursday…read moreand even though this event was supposed to be open to all members during the day but because the weather was so bad, members were given slots of time that they could attend. We went in the early evening. The place is in the Cupertino hills and up a steep hill, driving can be tricky and one you get there, there is not much parking, at least for the number for people who were there. And the parking is precarious - you pull right up to the edge of a steep drop. And backing out of the parking spot can be even trickier. Ridge had 5 stations set up with Station 1 starting with their rose, it was quiet good. When you walked into the tasting room, you were greeted, you name checked against the list and you were handed a tasting of the rose. In the outer room, there was only standing room but the adjoining smaller inner room had a couple of tables and chairs. Station 2 was small bites and they were small, which is surprising for a member soiree! There was a choice of a tiny bowl of hummus with a couple of carrot sticks and some pita chips and a small piece of toast with duck pate and a slice of chicken fat. They both tasted good but I have been to other member events at other wineries where there was a reasonable amount of food. Stations 3, 4 and 5 were red wines and quite good. Station 5 was in a separate building and was served with a tiny cup of saved cheese. As our time was up - 4-6pm, we left but barely 2 miles down the road, there was a fallen tree that completely closed off traffic both sides. Everyone who was leaving turned back around because we were told that it would take a couple of hours to move the tree. Even though tastings stopped at 6, Ridge opened up some more bottle and went beyond the 6pm hour to accommodate the people who did not want to be sitting in their cars for 2 hours. Funny enough, almost every one who was struck up in the mountain were the people who were attending the soiree. It dd not take 2 hours but one hour abd the folks at the winery were good natured about it. They kept us updated regularly on the situation. Ridge has great wines but their customer service, from precious experience, could be better.

Since this was our second vineyard today, we decided to only share a bottle; it was only bottle service. But then the team member started giving us a few tastings?!?! Not sure if it was due to closing time and they just wanted to finish the bottles...? Either way, GREAT service! Our friends let me select the wine and vintage. After trying a few cabs, I decided on the 2011 cab which I felt was the smoothest of the 3 splashes. If you were not so far away, I might consider becoming a member. Well, I am still considering it... Ambiance - Beautiful winery. And we were able to catch the early sunset during the winter hours. Huge indoor and outdoor space, my pictures do not do it justice. Two unisex restrooms on either side of the estate. Plenty of parking, well we did get here an hour before closing. Service - 5 stars, from the greeter to the person serving us at our tables. Price - $55 a bottle + generous tip. And of course we bought a few bottles to go. After fighting to try to pay, our friend won and would NOT let us pay/treat. So nice to have good friends!

    Negative; $35 for tasting fee‼…read more You might expect this at a very high-end Napa winery eg, Stags Leap Wine Cellars etc but not in a remote woodsy area at a small boutique winery. Shocking. ** Chardonnay was out of this world. Good nose, legs, and mouth feel, long finish, but we still couldn't get past the $35 tasting fee pp and only $10 of the tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle‼ That still brings it down to $25... Yikes! The wine attendant was drab, seemed uninterested in us..,,., no smile or joie de vivre. Not "welcoming " at all. 20% industry discount (parsimonious) Usually a 30% discount for industry /trade. 20% is usually a wine club discount. Signage is non-existent heading west. Drove by for a couple of miles looking for the sign. Positive: Chardonnay was very well balanced The first Pinot Noir was very well balanced Beautifully decorated for Christmas season Having ability to sit at a round table with the four chairs was a plus for us older folks. The wine attendant waited on us at the table which was a plus. Summary: Being a 70+ person I have a lot of experience growing grapes, a bit of hands on wine making, consuming wine since the early 70's, and pouring at several different winery tasting rooms in Paso Robles and Alameda. won't be back. 20 years ago the winery was booming with customers, the staff was very friendly and informative. The tasting fee was nonexistent if you bought a bottle it was waived. With so many other wineries to choose from we probably won't return.

Stunning views of the bay, rolling mountainside with grape vines, and then the lush green of the redwood forest carved out this magical micro climate in the Saratoga Hills. There was a red-forward tasting menu, and I fell in love with the heavy, and complex pour on the Bourrée and the refreshing fresh sangria. But there wasn't one wine that I was upset about drinking, and I sipped each new sample with delight. I can't tell you what I loved more: the wines, or the lovely and attentive customer service of Lisa. Thank you for making me feel instantly at home in a new space. The entire grounds was a photoshoot waiting to happen, and I heard there are some lovely hiking trails right through this winery. It's hidden gems like this that make me fall in love with my hood a little more with every discovery.

    Overall, good value for a wine tasting and I enjoyed all of the reds (which is rare for me!)…read more Came here on New Year's Eve for an afternoon tasting and we were the only ones there! The outdoor heaters were nice on an otherwise gloomy day. We had a few whiffs of manure while riders would walk by, I guess that's expected. Usually I'm not a fan of reds, but the Test Pilot (all blends, grapes grown on the estate) blew me away! I just wish the pours were bigger, and staggered vs served all at once. As others have mentioned, the cheese plate didn't have the best presentation (basically packaged + paper plates) and the wines all came out at the same time vs a more interactive experience that I've had at other wineries.

    It's a vineyard overlooking a stable, with live cello music playing in the background…read more Vibe Check: The vineyard exudes rustic elegance, where rolling vines meet countryside charm. This boutique estate offers a refined, artisanal approach to winemaking. A special shoutout to the cellist, who made the entire experience both musical and beautiful. Crowd: Having a reservation definitely helps to get a table here. The vineyard was filled with large groups of people, most accompanied by family and friends, including us. Service: I arrived with my entire family, and we were able to secure a table right away since we had reservations. Although the vineyard was busy, the staff approached us promptly with menus and walked us through their offerings. The overall vibe was relaxed and approachable, less formal than a sommelier, which is perfect for a casual wine-tasting experience. The Sip: We chose the light flight, which included red, white, and rosé. The wines were well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. Going into the tasting, I expected to prefer the rosé, as that's usually my favorite. However, the Pinot Noir surprised me the most because it was light and smooth, with subtle earthiness and soft tannins, which to me is a true classic Pinot Noir. Overall, it was a strong lineup with no weak points, but the Pinot Noir clearly stood out for me. The Pairing: We ordered crackers, cheese, fig spread, and roasted almonds, which paired perfectly with the wines. This vineyard also allows minors to accompany adults, which I really appreciated. We were joined by my six-year-old nephew, and it was great to see that they offer non-alcoholic beverages as well. He ordered a Sanpellegrino Limonata and proudly enjoyed his own "tasting," which was honestly adorable. The One Drawback: The smell from the horse stable. While the stable adds a unique opportunity to see beautiful horses up close, the smell can sometimes detract from the wine-tasting experience. Since tasting relies heavily on all olfactory senses, horse aroma wasn't exactly the afternote I was hoping for. The vineyard was quite a drive from our residence, but aside from the stable smell, it was a wonderful experience.
