The clubhouse setting is beautiful with stunning views that made the day feel extra special. The caterer recommended by the winery was fabulous - everything was delicious and perfectly coordinated. The wine was also exceptional and reasonably priced. A huge thank you to Dhruv and his incredible staff. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Throughout the planning process, they were prompt, responsive, and genuinely interested in making our event memorable. Kirigin Cellars created such a magical and unforgettable celebration for us. I highly recommend it for any special occasion!

Had a pretty disappointing experience here on my first visit for a girls' wine day. We came in…read moreexcited to try somewhere new, do a tasting, and hopefully buy a few bottles to enjoy on the grounds, but the service immediately felt cold and uncomfortable. The staff member behind the bar greeted us with a blank, deadpan stare (otherwise known as a "GenZ Stare") that made the whole interaction feel awkward from the start. When we mentioned it was our first time visiting and that we were excited to be there, there was no warmth, no enthusiasm, and no effort to tell us about the wines or the property. Even the pours seemed careless. I know this is Gilroy and not Napa, but I still expected a welcoming experience and better wine service. Unfortunately, both the service and the wine itself were disappointing. The best part of this place was definitely the beautiful grounds, which would make a gorgeous wedding setting. Maybe this place is better suited as an event venue than a wine tasting destination, but based on my experience, I would not return. The two stars are for the beautiful grounds.

The Nest Box's Eggs-perience tour hosted by chicken enthusiast and farmer, Stephanie, is a hands-on…read moreactivity, a captivating hour-long event that is a mini course in raising laying hens. Had fun diving deep into all things chicken, learning about the day-to-day of rearing and maintaining a 500-count flock. Stephanie is a fabulous host, friendly and responsive and knowledgeable, comfortable engaging with guests and sharing about her farm business. I particularly enjoyed the chance to feed the pastured chickens and gather eggs from their coops. (My first time for both.) While visiting with the birds in their run, you see them scratching for bugs, dust bathing and foraging. Stephanie also demonstrated how the farm harvests, cleans and packs eggs for sale. It was a treat to bring home a carton of the fresh eggs that we hand collected - some from right under the hen. I loved the beautiful shell colors, green and blue in addition to the familiar white and brown. (Breed determines egg color.) There are many animal residents at The Nest Box. During the visit, I also saw a duck (waddling among the chickens), cat, cow and pigs. I left the farm thinking that the animals at The Nest Box are fortunate to be so well cared for. This tour is appropriate for both children and adults, and will be of particular interest to those curious about animals and where food comes from. The activity is not physically taxing, other than being on your feet and in the sun. Pro tips: Wear sun protection and closed-toe shoes that you do not mind getting dusty.

That was the highlight of my day. I think this place is great for a cute little outdoorsy picnic in the shade or take the little ones to experience all the animals on the farm. They also have pre-made feeding baskets. Definitely worth a stop!

When we arrived, there was a function going on outside across the community hall. They were playing loud music and I'm like, there's a wedding that's gonna happen in about 10 minutes! The wedding started and luckily the music outside changed to a more mellow tune which went well with the ceremony. It was a 10 minute ceremony, the shortest I've ever experienced! The reception inside was decorated nicely. The buffet food was very good and the DJ started his music which kept the party jumping. Open bar but I'm not a drinker, couldn't even finish my virgin margarita, lol! We had a real good time! Kudos to the DJ for keeping the reception alive! It was a very lovely wedding indeed.

The price was right, the coordinator Charlene was so helpful and the place was so beautiful and simple. Things I loved: -Outside patio for outdoor ceremony -bridal room -food was tasty - open bar, we did a his and hers drink -very spacious for 200 people - restrooms were nice and clean - very intimate setting - space did not feel crowded - catering team was friendly and quick to help clear tables Wedding planning is sooooo overwhelming but it felt so nice to have Charlene help us every step of the way. She was very prompt with responding to our questions and we even hired her as our onsite coordinator for our wedding day which was the best decision we could have made. Everything for the most part went smooth and I never felt stressed. I am only giving them 4 stars because I do feel like they can make some improvements with their food tasting. My husband and I were a little disappointed that we had to taste the same food versus each trying something different. We expressed our concerns and they were able to accommodate us with a second tasting since we were not satisfied with our first tasting. Also, we told the catering team that we had a friend that was vegan. They served him a plate with salad and strawberries. In a way that was our fault for not checking in with them with what the actual plate would be. My friend was a good sport about it but I felt so bad because he was really hungry. Lastly, our package included one hour to clean up after the ceremony ended but all my guests were rushed out by security leaving just my parents, myself and a couple of bridesmaids to gather our belongings. If they didnt rush everybody out we could have had more people help with taking down our personal decorations and not felt so rushed and stressed to get out. At this point Charlene was no longer in the building since she was with us since the morning but I do hope that in the future security respects that one hour and does not kick guests out. Overall, beautiful venue, amazing coordinator and great price! Despite the small complaints and hiccups, I would highly recommend this place as a wedding venue.

A Great Spot for Pizza, Less So for Wine…read more We came here for a birthday party. The place is nice, and the staff is more than friendly. One heads-up: you can't bring your own drinks, not even water, since they want you to buy theirs. That would be fair if they offered a full selection, but they don't carry sparkling water, which we're big fans of. They serve pizza on weekends, and I have to give a shout-out here: the pizza was great! Crispy crust, good cheese, and a nice hint of garlic. Now for what could be better. At a winery, you'd expect some good wines. Sadly, not here. The white selection was limited to Pinot Grigio. It was a bit watery but pretty good, and unfortunately they ran out of it. This year's Rosé has the sweetness of unfermented grape juice. It's so heavy you can barely drink it without diluting it with water. The red, Cask 140, is the most expensive on the list. I don't think I've ever tasted such a dense red. If you're hoping for nuanced flavors, you won't find them here. Everything is overpowered by prune, and it's very tannic. So of the three wines we tried, two I'd never order again, and the one decent option ran out. Honestly, this place feels more like Fortino Pizzeria than Fortino Winery.

A mishmash of items with no thread. Overall I suppose they're going for farmhouse eclectic but my take was where can we dump old used furniture and call it a home. The bathrooms are so dirty and the little things like rusty shelving holding the toilet paper far away from the toilet are just annoying and gross. It's definitely NOT somewhere I'd want to do a wedding or important event. The family weekend was enough for me. I would not recommend this if you're expecting wine country chic. It's farm country sad.
