Wineries near Gonzales

“What a beautiful and lovely vineyard to visit. The Pisoni wines are own by a wonderful family that produces top notch . They practice organic and sustainable farming and produces delicious wines. Mark, farmer and vineyard manager was our tour guy and we couldn't be more lucky to have him explaining us everything that goes behind the scenes of a world class wine. If you never tried their wines you are missing something truly special. And also for every rose wine you purchased they donate one dollar to fight breast cancer. What an amazing thing to do. Thank you Mark for your generosity and your hospitality. We loved every minute we share with you.“

“Small family owned winery. Absolutely best sparkling wine you can get, hands down. The winery is cute and pleasant, great place to enjoy the sun with a nice glass. But what really makes it is the staff and owner. Genuine, caring, good people. There's nothing to not like. Don't question it, just go.“

“It was our first-time wine tasting in Soledad; we usually go up north for wine tasting but wanted to try out the area since it's close by. Wrath Wines was our first stop, and the staff was extremely friendly and welcomed us as soon we entered the tasting room.There are three wine-tasting options to choose from, Ex Tasting ($20), Winemakers Tasting ($25) & Single Vineyard Tasting ($30). We decided to do the Single Vineyard Tasting to try the best of what the estate had to offer.Once we walked outside, we were amazed by the beautiful views outside. We sat down and sipped on our wine, and we all enjoyed our first taste! We got prosciutto to snack on. We were going to get the charcuterie board, but after seeing the big portion size, we didn't want to fill up so quickly. Their food options are well worth it all around!We were there for about two hours, and we didn't realize how fast time had passed. The staff was very knowledgeable of all their wines and did a fantastic job giving a very detailed description of each wine.I regret not purchasing any wines, but I plan on purchasing some on my next visit, which will be very soon!“

“Visited this place earlier this year and absolutely loved it. The tasting was the best. The down side was that Gonzalez River Rd was closed due to flooding so it took us about 45-50 minutes to get there from Salinas. Normally it’s about a half hr drive.“

“My wife and I visited Pessangno winery last weekend. We have been to the winery several times. This last visit was fantastic. There was a girl working the tasting room I believe her name was Jamie. The place was packed, live music, people inside and outside. This gal never stopped moving, and always with a smile on her face. I just wanted someone like her to be recognized, I own a restaurant, and I would love to have employees like her. On top of the wine being wonderful, our service was fantastic. Good Employees should be recognized. We will definitely be back for a lot more visits.“
