They have a few tiers of reds including The Estate, Reserve, Palm Tag, and Lansdale. Although it's tempting to purchase some of their delicious wines at their winery, a helpful tip from the local - Grocery Outlets around the Bay Area sell their reserve Chardonnay for $3.99 and their reserve Pinot Noir for $8.99 in the wine section! They are priced at $42 and $72 respectively at the winery, so you're getting incredible savings! Amazing to see the owners of Eden Rift spearhead wine accessibility by providing great wine in the sub $4 and $9 price point!

Unfortunately our experience was dampened when we went back through the same door we were shown through to have the owner talk negatively about us to his guests for us to hear because we went through an "employee only" door to access the restroom. It was the only door we were shown and that is at no fault to the server, as an owner not great etiquette to talk about your patrons in a negative light for them to overhear. No matter which door we went through it still would have "interrupted" you and your guests/time. Left us with a bad taste ending to our nice time.

They make some of their own beer which is "Damm" good. The play on the name is referred to in their beers. Patio can get windy so bring a light jacket or sweater. Great bartenders with speedy service. Priced right too!! Damm Vineyards is a quick escape out of Hollister. Whether pit stopping on way to the other wineries, or making it your destination, the place is worth stopping by and checking out! If not frequenting.

Purchased tickets a few weeks ago for an 11;30 reservation. Plenty of parking and they had golf carts to take you to the entrance. Check in was quick and easy and we were escorted to our table . The line for the buffet was not long and there was lots of food choices. The food was good a couple of the bakery items were a bit overcooked. There was a full bar but we closed to get a bottle of champagne and made mimosas. There was 3 juices to choose from. A live band was playing and there were people dancing Would recommend this event

We ended up finding this spot just on Apple Maps and it looked really cute. When you get there, there will be the cutest black and white dog roaming around. Her name is Noe! She is part of the winery and comes to great you at your car. What great service! The inside of the winery is very simple and cute. They have a big patio to sit outside with your drinks. I will say, I am usually a sweet wine person and we were told there were no sweet wines at this facility. Nonetheless, we did a wine flight just to try! The wines were very smooth, none were really my taste though. Again, preferring sweet wine this was a bit to adjust to. However, my family who got red wines and actually like red wines loved it! The star of the show for me was actually a peach cider they have! I usually don't like ciders either, but this one was so delicious and refreshing! I wish I had just got a couple of those. Overall, service and everything was great! The man was very knowledgeable and friendly. Noe was an exciting part of the experience. And the cider was so amazing! I would come here again on another Cali trip.

HOWEVER, what an epiphany after talking to Ozeki staff and sampling their most basic sake that was poured -- it was GOOOOOD. Served at a room temperature, this sake that is sometimes sold as cheap as $5 per 1.8L, was very rich and flavorful. They said that this cheap sake is usually their first choice of sake because no imports can beat freshly made one. Unfortunately, in many cases stores and restaurants have Ozeki that's more than few months old (or sometimes a year old). They said pretty much all sake should be consumed young, even if it is not "nama" (i.e. unpasteurized). Ozeki does not offer regular tasting/tour at the facility, so call ahead for a special appointment if interested in visiting.
