Review #155 - 2018 I…read moredidn't want to go back to our Orinda park everyday so I decided to venture out and Yelp the next park with a kids playground and this was the most interesting so we started making our way over. We showed up around 3:15 PM and there were a few other parents and toddlers around so my daughter was super excited to play with them. There are three different playgrounds, but we only stayed at one since the baby was so busy enjoying her new found playmates. There are two basketball hoops, which my son was making use of, two volleyball nets and a skate park for the older kids as well. There are a few picnic tables for those who enjoy outdoor meals. There were a few senior citizens sitting at the park watching the children play; while some were walking around getting their exercise. It's such a beautiful park with pretty flowers and green trees all over. We'll have to come back to enjoy the rest of park since we were only able to stay in one area before my daughter decided to get upset since all the other kids had to go home.

The…read moreatmosphere is quaint, relaxed, and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, and -- yes, it's dog‑friendly too. It isn't flashy or crowded. It's serene, grounding, and quietly stunning--a place that invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and savor both the wine and the moment. From the moment you arrive, the owners will make you feel like old friends. Their passion for what they do truly shines through, and the service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed. You can tell this is a labor of love, not just a business. The wines are fantastic--with something for everyone. I love the chardonnays and my bf loves their wine slushies. Very refreshing on a hot day. Another plus is you can bring your own food as long as there is not an event taking place where they serve food. Be sure to check their website calendar before you arrive. If you're looking for a one of a kind place in Castro Valley, that is beautiful, relaxing, family‑run, and genuinely special, this is it. It's the kind of winery you want to bring all your friends, and recommend without hesitation. Highly recommend.

We bought cheese, meats and crackers with a chartruderie board. Nancy, our wonderful hostess directed us to the living room style of seating. We chose three different flights: white, red and reserve. They came on a glass holder that held 4 and cascaded, for us from the lightest to most bold. Nancy spent quite a lot of time with us answering questions and talking. There is outside seating, as well, and a gift shop. The wines are a bit pricy but excellent. I even joined the Ir club, ensuring a return trip!

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an experience I had at your winery today. I…read morehave been a loyal member since 2017, and today I brought my in-laws to visit after shopping. We reserved an indoor spot, which was indicated to have no time limit. We were having a wonderful time relaxing, enjoying a wine bundle special we purchased, and sharing a charcuterie board. However, our experience was ruined when a host approached our table and asked if we were close to leaving because there was a long waitlist. Several other tables had arrived before us, yet none of them were approached. This treatment felt unfair and left a very bad taste in my mouth. After many years of enjoying my membership, this experience has made me seriously consider canceling it. Please be better.

I wasn't expecting much in terms of food, but I was pumped to get my bocce on. To my surprise, the food was a lot better than I expected! We got a variety of bites - charcuterie board, meatball sliders, wings, and Bruschetta. Then pizzas, salad and desserts. My favorite from the spread were the carnivore pizza, meatball sliders, and cheesecake. We brought our own bottles of wine in and the corkage fee was $20 per bottle. The bocce was harder than I expected, I need to come back and give it another go with some practice shots before jumping right in. Overall a super fun place to come with a group!

It's absolutely unsanitary and can simply be resolved with food nets or table fly fans. Overall, It's perfect for private events and large gatherings. There is always a variety of tasty dishes served. The lamb chops are one of their stand out dishes. These small tender meat lollipops were prepared perfectly and not chewy or tough. The waitstaff were professional and always prepared to take drink orders and to clean up abandoned plates. Hoping in the near future the venue will have some kind of plan to keep flies and yellow jackets off the food.

Wow. This winery is a bit off the beaten path but not too far out (maybe 1/4 mile from Concannon)…read more Service was so quick for us as we walked in for a tasting. The most beautiful venue (see pics) We sat inside, but I think it is more beautiful (and cooler) than the courtyard garden. We did a tasting of 7 wines for $40 which was a good deal.

From the very beginning, Diane went above and beyond to help me plan this special day. She answered my many questions, worked through every accommodation with me, and made the entire booking process seamless. Her kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made me feel like she was just as invested in the celebration as I was. By the end of the planning process, I had unofficially promoted her to honorary bridesmaid status. When we arrived, Valeria and Kayla were fantastic. They immediately jumped into "surprise mode," graciously playing along by checking us in at the host stand and escorting us to our table without giving anything away. Their teamwork helped keep the bride-to-be completely unsuspecting until she walked into a room full of family and friends. Valeria also accommodated my request to play a millennial throwback playlist, and every hit had us singing along--it was the perfect soundtrack for the afternoon. Our server, Skylar, was equally wonderful. She made excellent wine recommendations, was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and truly made us feel at home. Even after our reserved time had ended, she warmly invited us to stay and continue enjoying ourselves. What was supposed to be a two-hour brunch turned into nearly four hours of laughter, wine, and celebrating, and we never once felt like we were inconveniencing anyone. The beautiful winery, delicious brunch, excellent wine, and stunning atmosphere were everything I had hoped for. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the people. Diane, Valeria, Kayla, Skylar, and the entire Murrieta's Well team created an experience that felt warm, personal, and genuinely special. Planning a surprise from start to finish can be stressful, but thanks to this incredible team, all I had to do was enjoy watching my best friend's reaction. Thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We can't wait to come back!

We used most of their preferred vendors, and they were all absolutely amazing - so professional, worked well together, and made the planning process seamless and easy! Not only that, the venue itself is absolutely breathtaking - perfect for brides that enjoy an outdoorsy vibe! The venue itself hardly even needs any further decoration, it's that beautiful here. We had a summer wedding and were really concerned about the weather coming off of a heatwave, but it's actually pretty cool during the day, with a strong breeze to help manage the heat! None of our guests had issues finding the location, even if it is tucked away into the hills - the staff make it very easy to find, with signs along the road leading up to the venue. The wine they served was also DELICIOUS, my husband and I will definitely be back for their wine tastings! We got so many compliments on how the wine tasted, and so many of our guests said that the food served was some of the best they've ever had at a wedding! Would highly recommend any future brides check this place out for their wedding!

Nella Terra Cellars is beautiful. We came for a wine tasting on a Saturday morning and had a lovely…read moreview out the vineyard, which is on a sloping hill. We made a reservation but were 1 of only 3 groups there over 2 hours. It is not crowded, so you can reliably show up and receive service. In fact, the winery is somewhat secluded and a long, winding drive from the main road. Early on during the tasting, a kind gentleman came out and offered us bruschetta made following his grandmother's recipe with delightful, fresh tomatoes. As for the wine tasting, it was $35, and I noticed the server consistently filling my friend's wine glass more than me. It may have been subconscious, but it bothered me. The charcuterie board ($35) is just a refrigerated box of food items. It's quite filling but a bit overpriced for something just kept in the fridge.

I honestly loved their set up with a wine tasting room in the front and tables in the back as well as areas for a food truck or a pop-up to sell in cater to you as well. The lady serving me was very friendly and helpful. I commented on this cute picture of a forklift and she said that was her as a little girl in the back!! So freaking cute!! Great Space and I could see live music being played here if they don't do that already. I'm new to the area so I will definitely be checking out there local events!! I really like their reds and their white wine that they served. I would love to do a food pairing which they didn't have available, but I love the aspect of different food truck vendors in the back. Granted a food, allergies and both the vendors had things I'm allergic to. I know my friend loved the noodles she got!!

There were only a few guests left, so we occupied the back area with artificial turf. It was perfect for the kids to run around. Adults socialized, and took some pics around the area. I can imagine a lot of activities that can happen for this area. It's not busy as the Napa valley, it has great ambience, view, and wines were good.

Note that they have a few different experiences: sit down restaurant, order food at the counter and self seat in the event space/courtyard, and I think a wine tasting area. We were a little confused at arrival, but one of their staff helped direct us after a min or two. We had a variety of apps and entrees and all exceeded our expectations. And we had a couple folks with a gluten allergy and they were so pleased with the many gluten-free options on the menu. Service for sit down dining was great. Highly recommended.
