We were served by a very helpful young woman who also gave us some nuts to munch on while we tried a flight or two of their wines. She checked up on us one or twice when she saw we were running low and was attentive while being respective and not pushy. A pleasant place to spend some time in downtown Los Gatos.

Awesome wine tasting room in DTLG! I met a friend here and as soon as I got to the table, the…read moretasting room associate delivered me a pour of their rosé, which was absolutely fabulous. After sipping on that, we chose from their 5 different tasting flights, all of which consisted of 3 wines at various prices. I went with the saison experience, which consisted of 1 white and 2 reads, and my friend the burgundy flight, which was all pinots. As we worked thorough our tastings we were delighted to be given another extra pour that was similar to our flights. Each time we were given a wine/new wine to try we were provided with some information about the grapes and the style the wine was made - tasting notes with flavor profiles for each wine were listed on the back of the menu with all the wines they had. Overall we had a great experience and both ended up going home with at least a bottle. I went home with the rosé and merlot, and I was tempted to go home with even more than one bottle of that rosé. Definitely plan to come back here and taste again sometime!

We only tried the reds, FYI, but they had a nice selection of whites too. 2. If you buy 2 bottles you get 1 free tasting, 3 bottles, they comp two tastings. 3. Be sure to visit the little house with a bunch of memorabilia. The history of the farm is super cool. They have free recipe cards too! 4. Horses! They currently board a LOT of horses, and have clear signage posted to keep your distance as to not spook them. 5. Bring walking shoes! There are trails you can explore around the winery and there's lots of dusty areas, so keep the dress shoes at home (or bring a change of footwear). Caveat anyone with motion sickness in the car, as the drive there is WINDY, but beautiful. I can't wait to return and explore the grounds more!

I don't really like writing negative reviews, but here goes…read more I have been visiting this winery for over 10 years. I mainly go to enjoy live music and socializing with friends. Also the drive and location is beautiful scenery. However after Covid, things have changed a lot. In the past you would find an available table, bring your picnic lunch (in the patio area with the shaded overhang), go inside the tasting room, sample some wines and buy a bottle. Great experience then. Also well versed in wine employees helping you. This is not the case at all now! Since Covid, you can no longer bring in your own food and they would not let us even go into the tasting room! You are forced to sit at a table and have "table service." I can't even think of it as table service because over this past weekend we had horrible service both days we went. We like to see our favorite local bands play at this beautiful winery. On Saturday when we went, we were immediately hounded by our server about what we wanted to order. We hadn't even had time to look at the menu. They bring only one printed menu and tell us to scan their QR code. That's fine, but some of the people in our group are old school and prefer a printed menu. I am shocked how much $$ the wine is here. It used to be reasonable but it is not anymore. The cheapest bottle is a bottle of Rose for $40. It was just meh. All the other wine choices are $46+ per bottle. And if I'm going to be buying some wine and enjoying drinking it with friends and enjoy live music it would be nice if I could bring in my own snacks/picnic so that I don't have to spend more. Our table of 5 spent well over $300 during the 3 hours we were there. On Sunday, we had even worse service. As soon as we walked in and sat down they saw I had a soft ice cooler. I was immediately told that we can't bring in our own food. I explained to the server and said I brought in a cooler because you do not have ice here, and the leftover food I purchased the day before (cheese, salami) was getting very hot during that service while enjoying music. So I wanted to be more prepared to put the food in a cooler as needed. Also, some of us like "ice" water and on a hot day, the water they bring out is not cool. The way I was first approached was very rude. Our main server that helped our group was not very nice at all and rude. She kept coming over to us when we first got there to see if we were ready to order. None of us had time to even look at the menu. She also did not know anything about wine. That was obvious. When one of us in the party asked about the different chardonnay choices which one is more oaky or buttery, she did not know and she did not even try and get more information for us. Also it was a very hot day in the high 90's and most of us wanted lighter white wines rather than red. The winery needs to get rid of their "table service", the servers are inexperienced with wines, rude, pushy to put in an order and impatient. They need to bring back how they used to have a nice experience here before Covid. When I told my rude server I wanted to get my bill and check out, she said "we have bad wifi over here at this table so you need to come up to our monitors for that..." then she walked away. Well that was BS cuz prior to that we were ordering our options from their QR code and they had good wifi for that. I guess she didn't like that I never came to their monitors where you "check in" and she came back to me and suddenly she was able to help me at my table to check out. So sad how downhill this place has gone. I hope the owner will think about how the after Covid changes are and that the staff is rude and not experienced with wine.

I'd been following them on instagram eagerly awaiting their opening, so when opening week finally came, I rushed in. They were still in sort of a soft opening phase trying to figure out what the hours would be, but I was thrilled to have them open a little bit earlier on a Sunday so we could enjoy some post hike bubbles. When we went in they had two different flight options of three champagnes. We opted for one of each to share, so that way we could try all of the open bottles. In addition to the flights they have champagne by the glass, bottle, and half bottle, as well as a still red, white, and rose, and a beer. They also have a few n/a options and some snacks and light bites. Mel helped us the entire time and was very fun to chat with! A lot of the time champagne can feel unapproachable, and that was not at all the case here. The whole experience was very fun and casual, but in a beautifully upscale space. Whether you're a champagne expert or have never tried it, this is a great spot to come.

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.

Besides the absurdity (you could take one or more of their plastic water glasses and refill them as many times as you want), I wonder why someone who has chosen to be in the hospitality business also chose to display such an inhospitable (rude, even) message. Perhaps their intention was something like "If you refill your own water bottle (thanks for bringing it!), please ensure that the bottle does not touch the spigot." Or perhaps "Please help conserve water." Instead, it basically said "If you absolutely must have some water, we begrudgingly allow you to have a little bit of ours." Come on.
