11 Best Wineries in Gilroy

Fernwood Cellars Wineries • $$
7137 Redwood Retreat Rd, Gilroy

“EDIT: We gave Fernwood another shot last weekend for Passport Month and we were glad we did. Last time the tasting was in a small room on the right side of the road. It was a rainy day and the room was very hot and muggy. Now they have opened a new tasting room on the left side of the road. The weather this time was perfect and the room was much more comfortable. We enjoyed the wines a lot more this time. We even bought a bottle partly because Fernwood offered special pricing for Passport holders. I wish more wineries did this.There is a beautiful little creek running alongside the tasting room along with some great outdoor seating areas and a spot to play Bacci Ball or Cornhole.Small tasting room. Kind of hard to get to. Decent wines but nothing we were interested in buying. Friendly staff.“

Satori Cellars Wineries • $$
2100 Buena Vista Ave, Gilroy

“We had a great time here... it was sunny with a light breeze this weekend. The property is really colorfully decorated but with a touch of zen. It has lots of seating and a beautiful view of the vineyard and hills. It's a very low key and chill vibe. Live band was nice, other patrons were friendly, lots of dogs roam the property freely and come by your table randomly for some petting and love (or looking for snacks! :)). Owner and staff were very cool and the tasting flight wines were actually all delicious. It was only $20 and comes with 4 reds and a white to try. Our favorite was the Harmonic Convergence, a red blend. Definitely will be back.“

Martin Ranch Winery Winery •
6675 Redwood Retreat Rd, Gilroy

“I've never been to this place. However, I must ask, as a bona fide wine lover and citizen of the Monterey Peninsula: what kind of self-professed wine connoisseur, e.g. Gary Mora, would seriously describe a wine as "yummy"? I bet certain wineries would throw him out on his keester if he ever used that phrase.“

“We spent the afternoon doing some wine tasting and relaxing under a gazebo. Such amazing tasting wine ( could be because it’s still processed in the traditional Italian way) and learning about the history of the family. ❤️❤️❤️ this place.“

Kirigin Cellars Wineries • $$
11550 Watsonville Rd, Gilroy

“Just as we were getting comfy, the tasting room transformed into a lively hotspot courtesy of a busload of revelers. Yet Pam, the one-woman wine whirlwind, effortlessly kept up, doling out pours and charm with impressive finesse – and miraculously recalling every conversation.
We had a jolly good time and got the best wine on the house!
Drop by if you are here! You will love it and felt reluctant to leave…like me!
Next time, I will join a wine tour. They had so much fun!“
