Sweet 6th generation Italian family winery in Martinez with 100 yr old vine zin. Contra Costa should embrace some of the reds.

Cute winery with great views and good, reasonably priced wine (around $10 a bottle for a white). Try a tasting and bring your own snacks for a wonderful local afternoon in sunny Martinez

Great experience, wines were smooth, ports are delicious.

Nice little winery tucked between houses. View is amazing and the staff is lovely. Wine is also good.

There's nothing that indicates that they don't allow for dogs on their outside patio, at least not on this page or at a quick glance. We came all the way here just to be turned away at the door for having our small King Charles with us.

I came here for a girls day out with a friend. Called at 9am and was able to reserve for 1pm tasting without any issues. Samantha was the one who helped us. She gave us a little history on the place. They are family owned and family run, and she is 4th generation. She's super friendly and was very patient with us. I learned how to say Sangiovese. Now I can go order this in an Italian restaurant and sound like I know what I'm ordering . Thank you Samantha.Tastings are $10/person, but is waived if you buy a bottle (any bottle, and a bottle starts at only $10). I really enjoyed my time here. The tasting room is decent size, could probably fit 20 people max. It was air conditioned. They were setting up for a concert yesterday, so we were not allowed to have outdoor tasting, but outdoor would've been too hot for us anyway. I tried a variety of wines and the 3 I liked the most were the Sangiovese and Reserve Zinfandel, and Reserve Zinfandel Port. I like sweeter wines and these three were fruity and delicious. I ended up purchasing the port.Plenty of parking on the property, but not clearly marked. I wish there were lines, I parked under the tree out in front. Overall it was a lovely experience and such a beautiful winery in the middle of a residential area! I would totally take guests here in the future. Maybe pack a little charcuterie board to go with the tasting. They do not serve food here, except for special events like the Luau that Samantha so kindly told us about. They often host concerts and events here. I'll be checking their site for info and definitely come back!

Discovered this quaint winery on yelp. It's a small vineyard with great and affordable wines left with two dozens service was excellent. We spent time sitting on their benches to enjoy the views.

Great local winery. We live down the street and frequently pick up their hillside wines. I bring them to any sort of occasion and everyone loves them. Amazing prices as well. Wine tasting experience was awesome and amazing people work there.

Such a lovely spot and not pretentious at all. Set in Martinez, no need to drive up to the valley for excellent wine!

Yes, times 1000 I absolutely love this small and quaint winery. I got to meet the owner and her daughter and granddaughter which was super super adorable.It's a very small winery owned by a sweet family and I actually enjoyed the $10 wine tasting which becomes free if you purchase a bottle This place is extremely welcoming, and I think having a dog or a dogs there has made this place one of my favorite wineries in the bay. I ended up buying a bottle of the port because it was just perfection.
This was such a beautiful winery, & amazing family. Great prices, and great Port wine ! Very affordable

What a gem! Small "hole in the wall" winery that's has great wine. What a great experience with the worker. Couldn't of been a more pleasant time

We had a group of 14 and the gracious staff took great care of us. We brought a picnic and tasted the fine wines they produce. Our group so enjoyed the wines, the hospitably, the peaceful atmosphere. This is a family run business and their knowledge of the wine varietals and pride in their product is exceptional. The wines are well priced. Can't wait to go back!

Viano is such a wonderful local gem. I feel so lucky to live as close to it as I do! My friend and I stopped in fairly last minute for a wine tasting. Not only did they accommodate us on short notice, but they treated us as if we were old friends. The family that runs the winery is so nice and their roots are such an amazing part of Martinez's history. Also, their wine is fantastic! I tried all of their dessert wines--all three are so good! If you love wine, do not overlook Viano. I will definitely be back soon.

Great prices and beautiful environment. The staff is always friendly and the wine is extremely affordable. They also have amazing champagne. You can't beat their tasting deal. If you do a tasting then it's a $10 credit off a bottle.
