8 Best Wineries in Hollister

“After a day of hiking we wanted to relax with a glass of wine. We just happened to come across Calera. We ended up having the best wine tasting we’ve ever gone to!

Our server, Julie, was knowledgeable about it the wines, their flavors, and where and how they were made. We did both tasting flights, and shared them. So we each got to taste 10 wines.

It was a busy afternoon, so our flights were taking a little long to get to us. Julie acknowledged that, apologized, and brought us another sample to try while waiting.

We also ordered a charcuterie, which was generously proportioned and very tasty.

We enjoyed a couple of the wines, but admitted to Julie that our tastes are generally more suited to sweeter wines. She brought us another wine to taste which was by far our favorite.

We loved how the wine flights were generously poured, and Julie’s attention to detail.

Thanks for a memorable afternoon and wonderful first day of our trip!“

“These wines are delicious and well priced. The San Martin Tasting Room has a cool industrial vibe.“

“Stunningly beautiful setting, friendly staff, and some remarkable wines. The 2019 Estate Reserve Chardonnay is not to be missed!!“

“We just happened to drive by. We like sake so we figured we would see if they had a tasting room. We felt a little weird going in because it seems like it's set up for semi trucks, but don't let that deter you!! They have an office so we stopped in to see if there were tours we could take or a tasting room. Unfortunately they don't have either but they are in the process of setting up a tasting room.It was ok though because the prices were good enough we could get a bottle of each! Just follow the signs for the office and stop in. The girls at the front are super friendly and helpful. 5/5 for us.“

“It has variety of candy choices. I stopped for ice cream there on the hot road, I wasn’t expecting such an oasis in the middle of nowhere! The pond, antique trains and cars, kids park, ducks, wind mill, everything was unexpectedly pretty. And o ur side there was even working carousel!“
