Visited for a tasting September 5, 2025 at the invitation of friends. Aly A. our Estate Host, led us through a delightful tasting flight culminating in their marvelous 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oliver Ranch and SJs. Building and vineyards are very scenic. Aly even guided us into the adjacent Cabernet vines that were loaded with fruit, she invited us to pick and taste some of the grapes. So sweet, nearly ready for harvest. Fun day ! Oh, can't forget, We joined their very flexible wine club and look forward to collecting and enjoying their wines into the future.

Best tasting experience we’ve ever had. Go see Phil

Came here for a Mother's Day/Birthday celebration last weekend and had an amazing experience! Grant was our server and he did an amazing job giving us a background of each wine we were tasting and explaining the meaning/history of the winery. The wines were delicious and the architecture and vibe of the winery was phenomenal. This winery was also super peaceful and gave us a nice escape from the busy city life in San Francisco, I would highly recommend and will definitely be back in the future!

This is one of the bougiest wineries around but it’s so worth it. Shell out for the private room and the nicer wines, you won’t regret it. The location is stunning both because of the building and the owner’s dad’s photographs they have all around. And then the wines themselves range from solid to outstanding. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Phil was fantastic! It was our most expensive tasting, but also our favourite. Just bite the bullet and sign up.

Aperture is an outstanding experience in a gorgeous setting with exceptional wine. If you're in the area, this is a winery well worth visiting. Grant was an excellent host, very knowledgeable, and attentive to outstanding customer service, ensuring our visit was time well spent. I can't say enough about the stunning architecture, expansive glass walls, and incredible photography. Simply breathtaking and, oh yes, the wine!!!

Very neat place! We were had our first winery experience. Had a tasting and Phil was great explaining the history of the winery and the different wines we were tasting.

Wow! I just went to Apertures Vineyard's tasting room and it was such a delicious experience, especially the reds. I'd recommend trying the Nomad. The architecture and the views and the very limited crowds made this a very exclusive experience.
Jesse Katz has such a grasp on the grapes and the blending. If you get to ask for a server please ask for Allie. ? She was such an enthusiast and made the tasting a very memorable experience.Thank you, Lauren, for your help arranging the special afternoon.

A Hidden Gem: Aperture Cellar!
Visiting Aperture Cellar was an absolute delight! Nestled in beautiful wine country, this cellar offers stunning vineyard views and a modern, inviting tasting room.
The staff were outstanding – knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about their wines. Each pour was an adventure, especially the Red Blend, which stood out with its perfect balance and depth.
Aperture Cellar’s dedication to quality and innovation is truly impressive. It’s a place where exceptional wine meets wonderful hospitality. We can’t wait to return! ??
Aperture is a wonderful experience - a splurge but worth it. My spouse enjoys white wine and we found their sauvignon blanc delightful. Each wine was explained as well the history behind the winery - but in a very easy going, conversational style. I highly recommend this experience.

Aperture is a beautiful winery! I was recommend by someone in the wine business to make sure i stopped over for a visit. So first thing i did was make reservations for a tasting. Since i had a few visitors from Boston in town it made for a great day trip! The staff did an amazing job at keeping us entertained. They also provided us with a nice history lesson about Aperture. After the delicious tastings we walked around to enjoy the amazing views. This is a must if you are into wine and want to do something a little different than Napa.

Amazing tasting with great views and wines. Our guide, Ally, was simply delightful!
Emily Peralta
What a lovely winery. Not only are the views incredible, but the knowledge of the hostess made it perfect. Six of us went to this tasting. They put us in a private room (south facing), with 9the most beautiful view. Nicole was our hostess and she was truly amazing. Nicole made sure we were enjoying ourselves and knowledgeable about our wines. Definitely will come back here.
