Stopped in to pick up our annual bottle of 2024 Triple Cream Sherry. Matthew, the family's next generation winemaker, poured for us their new Viognier and the Petite Sirah, both with fruit sourced from Lodi, CA vineyards. They made a nice effort for their first try at wines other than their Sherry, which they excel in. We mentioned that we have a 1992 Triple Cream Sherry and wondered how they were drinking now, should we open now or can it still sit, etc. Since they had one open in the back, they poured us a little bit and it was still fantastic! They're only open a very limited number of days a year, but if you like Sherry this is the place for you. Check out their website (www.ranchodephilo.com) for more info. read more

Super friendly staff, Rancho de Philo opens up to the public for wine sales once a year in November for just 1 week. They sell out in no time, and for good reason, the quality of their product is top shelf. The 2025 Triple Cream Sherry is outstanding, flavorful, full bodied, goes down so smoothly, I bought 2 bottles this year. read more

The Sherry is out if this world!! We've been coming here yearly for about 10yrs and buying a couple of bottles. It's always a beautiful atmosphere with music and cheer! We look forward to it. The Sherry has really increased in price - doubled in the last 4 yrs. This year we bought our two bottles but cringed a little. We'll be back next year! read more

A small quaint winery that was built by the former president of Brookside Winery. Open to the public for Sherry sales for a short time each November. The quality of the Triple Cream Sherry is outstanding. The winery started selling Sherry to the public in the mid 70's. You would be doing yourself a favor if you were to stop by on the weekend in November take a tour and sample their Sherry. Of course you want to take some of the Sherry home to serve to friends or enjoy as a after dinner drink. I should add that the Winery is still family owned and operated. read more

Mark November on your calendar. You see, this tiny, family winery is only open in November, and only as long as their stock lasts. You get a private announcement in the mail once a year to let you know they are getting ready for opening day. They only do one thing, SHERRY. And it is the most divine sherry ever. You have to buy several bottles, not because they say so, but because once you open your first bottle, it will magically disappear and you won't have more to allow it to age. This sherry ages so well, we have some more than 8 years old now, and it is priceless. It is so sippable it will blow your socks off and your eyes will roll in the back of your head. Yes, that wonderful. It wins blue ribbons at the LA County Fair almost every year. And that is before it ages. Opening day is very special. They hire a Renaissance instrumental quartet for live music, give you a taste of that year's (and sometimes the years prior), have some appetizers to nibble, and the owners graciously smooze and greet their guests. You get to go into the musty old barn where they store their wine barrels and do their blending, and sniff that gorgeous smell. And all for free. You actually forget for an instant that your are in crazy So. Cal and feel all warm and huggy. This is a special place and a opening day is such a special event. We go, rain or shine. I know there is at least one restaurant that carries limited stock of their sherry, Le Rendezvous in San Bernardino, if you want a taste preview. If you go, please tell them Wendy sent you. read more

Great wine, and amazing service. It's very family oriented! They're only open for select amount of time throughout the year!

Had no idea I liked triple cream sherry but a friend assured me to give it a try. So we embarked on an adventure and was not disappointed. The owners gave us full permission to wander the grounds and contemplate the universe, with a little sherry in hand. You can taste vintages from three years and the owners provide mini muffins, almonds and rice crackers for palate cleansers. read more

Drove by the winery today and I just had to write a review! It's nearly fall my most favorite time of year and that means Rancho De Philo will be gracing us with their silky, rich and wonderful triple cream Sherry. I make a mean soufflé and my husband loves to enjoy it with their sherry. I can't wait until November! A MUST try! The Sherry. My soufflé is too but that's more of a private tasting :) read more

A wonderful hidden gem in Rancho Cucamonga. This winery produces one wine, its award-winning triple cream sherry, and is only open one week in November every year. My wife and I are not sherry fans, but enjoyed our samples of Rancho de Philo's 2013, which was excellent, and the 2012, which was sublime. We bought a bottle of the 2012 for our New Year's Eve celebration, but we're considering a return trip ASAP since we probably won't be able to wait to open it up. Kudos to the friendly staff for making us and the other guests welcome. We chatted with owner Allen for a few minutes and he gave us some pairing suggestions (three words: vanilla ice cream) before regaling us with a few anecdotes about his wine. Highly recommended. They are open as of today (11/10/13), but will close for the week soon, depending on when they sell out of this year's batch of sherry. read more

If only I could give more stars I would. This is a hidden gem for wine lovers. Best red wine I've ever had. I can tell as I entered the winery, omg, the aroma is very inviting. I can't describe it, you gotta be there to tell. I'm actually holding out on the review because didn't want to share, but good things MUST be shared! Also check out Janine's pomegranate jelly, it's out of this earth. I have been their regular annually. yes, annually, the owners only open 2 weeks in a year. read more

Excellent help at Metro PCS by T mobile at the Phillips Ranch location. Ana was very helpful when my new phone was having issues and quickly and curtiously solved my issue. I also observed a young man assisting an elderly Spanish speaking couple and he was very kind and patient . A great experience . Will recommend the service and location. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for years, and I finally decided to get off my ass and do something about it. There are a couple of things you should know: First off, they annually open to the public for one week in November, so you either need to sign up for their mailing list, or know someone who is on mailing list when they send out the notice of their opening. Second, their primary product is triple creme sherry. In all honesty, I don't really drink wine or sherry, but I was completely intrigued by both the name of the product (I mean, who can resist something that's called "triple cream sherry")and the fact that this place has awesome reviews. Even more intriguing is the fact that this place is located in a residential area, so don't get thrown off by this fact when you visit it the first time. The staff here is amazing. They tell you both the history and the process of how the sherry is made, which was completely news to me. Best of all, they offer samples of their current vintage, and sometimes, the prior year's vintage. This place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Sadly, I was only able to visit this place once due to covid but when I did go, it was amazing. The wine was very good and reasonably priced. The gentleman who helped us was knowledgeable, kind and pretty funny. I plan to visit once they open. read more

I learned about this winery from Wendy B. last year. She alluded to it in one of her more recent reviews and I tracked it down. Because I live in Northern California, I called rather than stopped by the winery. I ordered some of their sherry, 4 bottles. That's the minimum you can buy. The owner and I got into a lovely extended conversation. I can't remember the content, just the feeling of pleasant connection. I didn't write this review until I had drunk the sherry, so the details are no longer as vivid as they would have been had I written it a year ago. I didn't open the first bottle until I finished the bottle of Lustau East India Solera I had on hand and that took a few months. I just finished the first bottle of Rancho de Philo. It was luscious, rich and sweet w/o being cloying. A couple of weeks or so ago I received a postcard from the winery, alerting me that sherry would soon be available. I'm debating whether to call them and order another 4 bottles, or to wait until next year. What to do, what to do? Thanks, Wendy, for turning me on to this fine winery and their wonderful sherry. read more

This is the best kept secret in Rancho Cucamonga. They are only open for 1 week every year. The Sherry is unlike any Sherry I've ever tasted prior, and after having theirs. Buy at least 3 bottles, one to enjoy now, one to enjoy in a few years, and one 'just in case' Always worth the wait! read more

Their Triple Cream Sherry is absolutely amazing! You pair this up with a chocolate soufle and its absolute to die for. I am in the restaurant business and not a single person who I have tasted this on has not liked it. If you are a wine drinker more specific red wine drinker than you know how well chocolate goes with red wine. A 10-20yr Tawny Port and chocolate is a relationship. This Triple Cream Sherry and chocolate is a marriage matched in heaven!! Can't wait for November! And you have got to educate yourself on the Solara System they use to produce and bottle their Triple Cream Sherry!! And if your a local, you will really appreciate the history of the winery and longtime relationship with the Galleano family, so much so, that the three friends, on the label of the award winning Galleano "Three Friends" Port, are family members. read more

This is a great place to get one of the best sherries produced. I visit here to purchase my annual bottles when they are open in the beginning of November. It's really fun to talk , taste, and visit at this winery. They interact with the visitors and are more than willing to answer any and all questions of their production and the local history. The proprietors are friendly and just a pleasure to be with. CHEERS ! read more

Picked up our yearly order and 5e owners are very welcoming. A landmark property in our home town so many locals and out of towers alike getting their sherry. Opens to the public just before thanksgiving. I highly recommend. read more

we always miss the week they are open, only for one week in November. We finally remember and glad we did. We bought 2 bottles and probably more next year. cant wait read more

Each and every year we make a trip to Rancho de Philo Whiney to buy a bottle or two of their DELICIOUS Triple Cream Sherry! We used to buy extras to give as gifts, but since we've done that, now most of our friends all buy it for themselves!! Just sipping on a small glass of this Sherry as an apéritif, and/or on a cool evening before bed in front of your fireplace, gives you a warm, cozy feeling inside!! Pairs so well with raw, unsalted almonds!! I love it! read more

Highly recommend! I have been coming here for years for the Triple cream sherry after having tasted it at the LA county fair, where it was a gold medal winner. No matter where you're coming from it's worth the drive. Make sure you read the description before you come because it is only open to the public for a few weeks. But if you can, it's great purchase. Also the pomegranate jelly is fantastic. read more

I listen to podcasts when i go to bed and happened to hear a food podcast talk about this hidden gem of a winery in Rancho Cucamonga that only sold one wine, triple cream sherry. In the podcast they were talking about soaking pomegranate arils in this sherry for about 2 to 3 hours and then enjoying it. So i decided i would try it, went there yesterday, was greeted warmly and tasted one of the samples. Talk about love at first taste...whew! I bought a 2014 and a 2011 bottle and am really looking forward to opening them soon. Awesome place, awesome family, beyond awesome sherry. read more

This is the 3rd year we've stopped by to pick up a bottle during their annual sherry sale. Once again, they've got a fantastic tasting bottle of sherry for 2016. They are a small family owned winery and when we popped in to pick up a bottle, we didn't have time to enjoy a long tasting, but I did taste it while I was paying for the bottle! I believe their sale this year is over, but check back next November and stop in for a bottle! You won't regret it! read more

We came and we were welcomed by the owners to give us a sample of sherry and pomegranate jelly. I didn't like sherry before I tasted theirs. It was delicious and no sharpness leave in my tongue. I wanted more to make sure. They didn't mind give me to try more. Thank you. I bought one bottle and pomegranate jelly. It was pleasant to visit. Their dog was well behaved and so cute. Dog lovers like me made me love this place more. read more

I came to this gem of a place hidden in the hills of Rancho. It was so good that I had to return and bring my mother. The sherry wine is delicious. Not too sweet, not too dry. The lovely couple gave a grand tour, showing the entire wine-making process. I can't wait for them to win another gold medal so I can return with my 2012 bottle and get a sticker! Now we have a new November tradition! They are only open for one week so keep a look out! read more

What a cool experience. I had some of their Triple Cream Sherry at friends houses around the Holidays for the past couple of years and was determined to get there for their sale this year. I went today and I guess I lucked out because I was the only one there at the time. Meeting Janine and her husband Alan made my day. Not that I don't think that they wouldn't spend the time with anyone, no matter how many people were there, to explain the business and the product that they are so proud of, and rightfully so. Like most, my experience with sherry is very limited, but with the name Triple Cream, and the pride that is obvious in their love of their sherry Janine inherited from her father, I was excited to buy a couple of bottles. I know that I won't be disappointed. read more

The Best sherry in all of California. Cucamonga Valley Wine making is still alive and well!

Love this place and the fact that it is local is even better! I just wish that it was open longer than one week out of the year. This winery is family owned/operated and the business is run out from their home. Everyone is very friendly and when you visit, you can taste their triple cream sherries from various years. The triple cream sherries here are fantastic and often winners of multiple awards. Their sherries are perfect for the holidays and pair well with chocolates and desserts. You'll often find customers here stocking up on sherry before the holidays hit. They are open to the public usually the around the first or second Saturday of November and remain open for a week there after, or until they run out of sherry. FYI: Seldomly, are they open longer than a week as this place is quite popular among locals. If you are a sherry lover, or want to visit this local and legendary winery, I highly recommend be placed on their mailing list. They will send you a postcard mid October, letting you know the specific date in November they will be open for business. read more

This place is very unique. From the design to the product quality. So many options.. wine lovers can see and appreciate the different kind of wines and where they came from. It's hard to taste the difference between a good and bad wine but when you have the experience- you can definitely feel the difference as soon as you sip it. It's a very cool place to spend the day in. read more

We have been getting their award winning Sherry for years it only gets better and better with time and never stales. The 2011 is the best by far. Oh and get a few jars of their pomegranate jelly. read more

They do one thing, and they do it well. The triple cream sherry wins awards every year it seems. It's very much a local secret, as they're only open for 1 week in November, you wouldn't know it unless you're already on their mailing list or happen to be driving by that week. The staff is friendly, always offering complimentary tasting before you buy. It's a very nice winery and a very fine wine. read more

Cheap and good! What more are you looking for in a winery. The staff is super friendly and the pours a quite large. You buy a sampling card for five pours and it is ten dollars. read more

I can't give this winery a real rating. It was closed when we went there on Saturday. There are sold out signs on the entrance gate and front door. On the front door it also states see you next year. read more

What a wonderful smoothe sweet taste that lingers softly. I am recommending this to all my friends and family . I can't wait till November.

We first experienced this unique winery back in the late 80's. Back when Philo was giving personal tours of the facility. What an absolute delight to hear and experience his passion for his product. We were fortunate enough to be able to buy a case at each of the releases we attended. Because of that we not only enjoyed this unique and deeply flavorful Sherry, but we're able to gift a bottle or 2 to friends & family. We apparently gave a bottle to my wife's youngest sister & her husband as a going away gift when they moved to Ohio back in the early 90's and vowed to share it with them whe we came to visit. Ohio has not been at the top of our "must see" destinations. We did however finally go for a week this May of 2016. Long story short.... The bottle was there.... We opened and enjoyed all the flavors (none which were vinegar I might add) that are uniquely their trademark tripple cream cherry. read more
