Highly recommend!

The farm shop is also worth exploring, with fresh produce, local honey, jams, and a lovely selection of cheeses. We came for a casual look around and ended up wanting to take photos and shop for dinner! A fun place to wander, pick up a few goodies, and bring a little autumn home. Definitely worth a visit!

Good stopping point in Gilroy area for garlic ice cream and local produce. This time of the year -…read morecorn was very reasonably priced, other times of year it's likely other produce. Rest of the produce is slightly higher priced than grocery stores - but it's very fresh and super tasty probably because it never had to hit a cold storage. Restrooms are very clean and owners are very pleasant to speak with.

Of course it's not my #1 choice in flavored ice cream, but well worth the try at least once! Don was superb, having us guess songs for a free honey sucker stick, which made the time there even more fun. Overall, this was a great experience that I recommend to everyone and anyone to enjoy!

We were driving by on a road trip and saw this U Pick cherry orchard and decided to stop off. My…read morefirst concern was whether they take cards, as I'm not a cash carrier, and to my surprise they did. We arrived about an hour before closing and there were only a few other people picking cherries. We walked up and were told what to look for and what cherries to avoid. We were handed bags and told how far on the property we could venture. The price was around $6.99 a pound. It's more expensive than the store for bing cherries, but you can't beat the quality, freshness and supporting a family business. We picked cherries for about 20 minutes and of course took the opportunity to take some pictures. We picked about a pound and a half and were on our way. This was a great quick stop and we had a healthy snack on our road trip. I would recommend stopping if you are in the area.

They did however have lots of other snacks and goods in stock, including hot sauce, olive jars, nuts, chocolate, garlic, garlic ice cream, and cold beverages. We picked up some oranges, dark chocolate almonds, and ghost pepper hot sauce. Service was standard, and there were only a few other customers, mainly outside getting hot food as there was a taco truck and food stand selling baked potatoes and corn. Porta potties were available on site. Parking was easy right in front, too.

Went cherry picking here in early June…read more Very simple. You "check in", they give you a bag(s) and a grasper for high up ones if you're serious (we weren't that serious). You walk around picking the cherries you want. The trees are marked to indicate the different varietals. You put them in your bag, and you go back to the table to pay for what you picked. Great date idea. There are a couple photo spots designed for Instagram type photos. We didn't use those, just took regular pics. And the whole thing cost like $10 for both of us. That's less than 2 coffees and you get the cherries too. Make sure to check in advance as crops aren't always predictable.

It was our first time at Mariani and we had a great time picking cherry ..though, we went toward…read moreend of cherry picking season ( last weekend be 6/12/26)? , there was still plenty of nice ripe cherry to pick , small to large sizes , even some at toddler height level . No outside bags or buckets allowed, they will give u plastics bags ... wear good shoes cuz there were many fallen cherry on certain parts and dirts on the grounds. I would recommend shoes you don't mind getting dirty or stained. Parking was small but we still found parking at the entrance maybe cuz we went toward end of the season and later in the afternoon. If going on warm spring weather , bring a hat or umbrella., there were still plenty of shades under cherry trees as walk tree to tree or row to row . We got carried away and end up picking 6 lb +, cost added up fast . 6.50$ per pound for cherry and 3.50$ / lb for apricots . Both cherry and apricots were sweet ! Distanced only 20 mins from San Jose Central area , which is great location if you are in nearby town/city .

Clean, modern restrooms that of course are strategically placed between the sweet shop and wine & deli shop. Treats for all ages. There's a gas station to fuel up the car with petrol not sure if they have any EV chargers. I didn't look about for them. Fuel yourself up at the sit down restaurant serving classic diner food. There is a fruit stand on steroids carrying local fresh produce, jelly jams, snacks, dried fruit, etc. There's a wine & deli shop; wine tasting is offered while the deli makes custom fresh made sandwiches. The sweet shop is dangerous... shop filled with chocolates, candy, popcorn, and ice cream. Yum! The sweet shop is where you buy the tickets to ride the little choo choo train and merry go round. Even adults can ride without the kids. Also if all of that wasn't enough, they have a RV park and hotel. Watch out for the free range peacocks. They walk about thinking they own the place, stopping traffic in the parking lot. Momma peacock had a heck of a time leading her distracted youngins. Ironic, because you'll probably experience the same thing with your youngins at this place. Lots to distract them. Anyways, I stopped to use the restroom but then stayed longer to explore. The restrooms were quite modern giving off a modern industrial vibe. The room and stalls are built in a circular pattern with the sinks in the middle. Some of the toilet stalls had their own sink as well. Those were located near the front. I used one of those and then it appeared to others using the main communal sink that I walked out without washing. Let me tell you, I got some looks.

We stopped by Casa de Fruta after attending the Norcal Renaissance Faire this past weekend. The…read moreplace offers fudge, ice cream, jerky, wine, nuts, fruit (both fresh and dried options), and miscellaneous merchandise. Carousel and train rides are also available for guests. We had a pleasant time walking around and checking out the ducks and turtles in the lovely pond near the playground. Then we explored the area and purchased some cold beverages, chili lemon mango dried fruit, hot crispy beef jerky, and chocolates (reduced-sugar dark chocolate almonds and mint chocolate almonds). The lower sugar content in the dark chocolate almonds was definitely noticeable, but they were still good. And the mint candies were unique and enjoyable. The different buildings offer some of the same items. For instance, chocolates can be found in the main store, in the wine and deli shop, and in Casa de Sweets which serves ice cream and coffee delights too. And both the main store and restaurant have pies for sale. I appreciate the variety of offerings on site, as well as the scenic atmosphere for doing some shopping, eating, and spending quality time with loved ones.

Flaky crust, delicious filling, good size. The whole pies were even a better deal and large pies. Not the hugest apple fan - actually I like them, but try to stay away from fruit juices and given all the interesting choices in pies, wanted to try other flavors. It was fairly crowded on a weekend late morning, but worth stopping in. Parking was doable and it was a nice drive out there.

Stopped by 10/4/2026 and it was the last day of the season for apple picking. There weren't too…read moremany apples left but we still managed to pick a handful. Very affordable prices. We also got slices of apple pie a la mode at the pie shop. Unfortunately they were out of the Dutch apple pie but the regular apple pie was still quite delicious. It was warm, fresh, and had a flaky crust. The vanilla ice cream was icy though and felt like it had freezer burn. The line at the pie shop moved quite slowly and got pretty long. Great vibes here and you get a pretty inclusive experience with fruit picking, a souvenir shop, the pie shop / deli, and a small pumpkin patch.
