“1) Wine was so good and service was excellent. They are so nice here and passionate about their craft!2) If you buy a two bottles then a tasting flight is free. Would recommended starting with a flight and using that to pick which bottles to get.3) After we bought two bottles, we decided to cork one on the spot, and they waived the corking fee, very kindly of them.Thanks for a great experience!“

“What a wonderful experience at Deer Hill Vineyards. A post Christmas gift to our wonderful friends. Contacted Bill to arrange a date and time. He was quick to respond. Very excited to try a Vineyard so close to home that we didn’t know anything about. And, wow, it was such a beautiful tasting room, with a Bill telling us all about his property and how he got into wine making. Also telling us so much info about the wine industry. Learned more here than anywhere else. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. We also got a great charcuterie board. Thank you Bill so very much. We had the best time.“

“Absolutely LOVED our experience and the wines were delicious. We ended up buying several bottles. Samantha was the best, she’s very knowledgeable about wine and the history of her family’s vineyard. It was so nice to visit and we will definitely come back next time we’re in the area. Thank you Viano family!“

“We had a fantastic day, tasting wines and strolling through the beautiful gardens of Bhachu Vineyards! Came home with some special goodies too....hahaha Many thanks to Barbara, Dave, & family. Your party was a smash, and your kindness is felt deeply.“

“The best wine storage in the East Bay for sure.The facilities here are much better structured to handle the increasingly hot summers in the Bay Area. Joe and Debie (owners) are gracious, accommodating, and a big help. Rates are reasonable, and you have 24-hr secured access!Fully moved out of the Bay now, I will miss this place. They were terrific “bottle-sitters” the last 4 years.“

“Just opened 2011 TwiningVine Zinfandel. The 14 year old bottle was incredible, one of the best wines we have enjoyed.
We have an attachment to the winery as our daughter fell in love with the location riding bike through canyon. Saw owners and commented to them that she would like to have her wedding there though she had not met her future husband.
Years later she met that special guy reminded the owners of TwineVine of that first meeting. Though they were not hosting weddings as of yet, they agreed to do so. Wonderful wedding and reception and a great jump start for Aaron & Megan's life now with three great Grandkids.

Thank You for the great start.

“Love everything about Shadowbrook winery. It's a hidden gem tucked right in the Northgate neighborhood. The ambience is stunning just like or better than any other upscale winery in Napa. This last visit we had dinner sharing the special short rib, the Burrata appetizer and the avocado salad and everything was delicious. Love that you can purchase just a glass or a bottle or even a beer if you're non-wine drinker. It's our go to spot when we have friends come in from out of town.“
