We had our choice of indoor and outdoor seating, and opted for the nice covered outdoor patio. They had a good amount of seating in each area, and had a lot of shade outside, which is absolutely necessary in Gilroy. The patio and grass area was very pretty, filled with lots of plants and even a sculpture. The property is also next to a plant nursery, so that added to the beauty even beyond their property line. We were helped by Melissa, and she was great! They had two tasting flights of 4 wines to choose from on our visit, one of which included a white and reds, while the other was all reds. They did also have some extra bottles open, so they were able to make an all white wine flight for one in our party. The pours were a good size, enough to really get a feel for the wine and share a taste with others. Two of us ended up taking home the same bottle of pinot noir.

I started my membership back, thought we'd utilize the wine tasting. First time back in over 6 months they did not bring us a menu, did not tell us what we were tasting and that was not a good feeling. On out third pour same day- fist day back we were accused of trying to get an extra pour Aaron asked what pour we were on, we didn't have a response because we didn't have the menu, we were accused of getting any extra pour? Not our responsibility to keep track, and if you did an extra pour what is the big deal? The comment made us feel uncomfortable, we stayed and purchased a bottle from their reserved red wine. This Saturday we went with another couple and my granddaughter. All was fine untill our third pour, we paid extra for the reserved tasting and it was a splash not a tasting pour. We discussed if we should say anything at all, and we decided to ask for a decent pour. My husband went in , talked to Aaron, he declined and dismissed us. Aaron said we had a decent pour, even though he was not around to see what was poured?? Typically a winery allows more than the 4 or 5 tasting, how else will you know if you like it enough to purchase a bottle. If a winery treats members that way it's time to end membership, and we did. Staff is like family at S V, we got the cold shoulder once my husband spoke with Aaron. We paid for our tasting, tipped our server. We will not revisit this establishment again. It was a nice place till it wasn't We have too many wineries nearby to allow staff to make you feel a certain way.

The white wine we tried was crisp and refreshing and the outdoor tasting area really adds to the experience--open, scenic, and welcoming. There's even a horse and several friendly farm cats roaming the property, which adds a lot of charm and character. When I visited, there was live music, local vendors, and a party bus group, giving the winery a fun, social energy without feeling overwhelming. The owner(s) and staff were very personable and seemed to know many of the guests, creating a sense of community and a local, neighborhood feel.

Castillo's Hillside Shire Winery Review from my visit on Sunday 5/17/2026…read more I was very excited to visit this location because the photos online looked absolutely stunning. The beautiful home and landscape are very well kept, and the winery itself is a cozy little spot nestled along the hillside. Prior to visiting, my friend kindly called about two weeks in advance to ask permission to take her graduation photos there so we wouldn't be imposing on their property. We were told it would be perfectly fine as long as we purchased a bottle of wine, which we happily agreed to. Unfortunately, upon arriving, our experience was disappointing. The woman working in the tasting room came across as very cold and unwelcoming from the moment we walked in. She repeatedly questioned us about taking photos and stated there was a $250 insurance charge required for photography on the property. When we explained that permission had already been given over the phone, she simply responded with "okay" before ringing me up for a $49 bottle of wine. What was most disappointing was the lack of kindness and professionalism. I was genuinely excited to visit this winery and support the business, but the uncomfortable interaction completely changed my perspective on the location. Hospitality goes a long way in the winery industry, and unfortunately, we did not feel welcomed here at all. Such a beautiful property, but sadly the customer service experience left a lasting impression, and not in a positive way.

The wine tasting menu is a very nice experience. You can do the tasting inside or on the open patio. The outdoor seating is perfect with views of the vineyards and features a small stage for live music. This place has a great sense of community and is quite intimate. It seems like everyone knows each other and has the winery membership. Plus, this winery is dog friendly and permits outside snacks to be brought in. If I were local to the area, I would definitely frequent this lovely hidden gem!

A friend of mine goes to these things all the time up in SJ so I agreed to join him and we had a great time. Tried different ciders over the season and actually had many that we liked. I also had a pretty long conversation with the owner about brewing cider as I've tried making my own with apples from the tree in my backyard. He turned out to be a really nice guy. So I think I was wrong in my original review of Ten Five One Cider.

The family literally hosts customers in their (very large and beautiful) backyard. Plenty of shade and places to sit. We were greeted and seated quickly despite being early for our reservation. I liked that there were many different types of ciders to pick from, so I opted for a flight. My favorites were Bada Bing (Cherry infused) and apple pie (literally tastes like pie). I also shared a cider slushy with my mom and it was delicious. I recommend following them on Instagram, since they are only open for tastings on certain weekends of each month. They are also open on some Thursdays as well.

It only costs $30 for a "Passport" and you can go to almost all of the wineries in Santa Clara County for tasting and something to nibble on. If you can get a good sized group to go, or lucky enough to get a designated driver, this is something you want to try at least once. There are a good amount of people and enough wine for everyone! Some of the wineries have live bands and/or music so it is a party everywhere you go! It is a great day out and the weather is usually pretty nice during both times of the year. What is even better is if you go to the Spring Passport Weekend, you can use that same passport for the Fall event. It only ends up costing $15 each time which is a steal with the amount of wine you can possibly drink! I highly recommend attending this event in the Santa Clara County and can't wait to do it this upcoming March!

Found out that you used to be able to use the passport for the weekend in the Fall but this year it changed to the $30 passport was only good for the March event. In order to attract repeat customers in the future and feature their winery/wines I encourage them to provide a few more snacks to nibble on with their tastings. For $60 my husband and I got a 4 tastes of wine at each winery and some nibbles that were pretty mediocre and seemed to be put out only around the noon hour. I think the wineries could do better than that, especially now that the passport is only good for one weekend. It doesn;t cost that much to go to one of the warehouse stores for some snacks.
