The legendary DeRose Winery…read more.. It's all about the Cab Franc! I believe the Cab Franc is what they are known for... and for good reason. The Cab Franc is one of the best I had! The only other local domestic rival I know off that is near as good hails from 3 Steves Winery in Livermore, and they get the grapes form DeRose! So, do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of the Cab Franc. You won't regret it. The Cab Franc is a 100% Cabernet Franc, not blended. The Vines are pruned in the winter, the Grapes are exposed to sunlight with careful leaf removal and the Clusters are thinned after veraison. Common tasting notes are Berries , dark Stone Fruit, a dash of pepper a subtle hint of roses. Can you tell I like is wine? The vineyard is located on both sides of the San Andreas Fault and wines are part of the old Vaché planting method. DeRose wines are also organically farmed, just not not certified. Oh, can't forget the dry farming as well. The Winery is in the middle of nowhere... It's a journey onto itself to get here. There isn't much else around. There is another winery down the road, but that's about it. Don't be scared to make the trip. They recently opened a Tasting room in San Martin. Can't wait to stop by and do some wine tasting there...

Dropped by recently (9-30-2025) and really liked the wines a lot. I started with the Viognier and…read moreit was nice and dry the way I prefer and did three of the reds. I had never tasted Negrete (French varietal) and absolutely loved it. The other two were good too. My friend and I each bought two bottles to waive the very reasonable $15.00 tasting fee. I will definitely visit again when I am visiting Hollister. I highly recommend you to give De Rose Vineyard, a visit. I am certain you will be glad you did.

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.

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.
