Castillo's Hillside Shire Winery

The owner was rude to us, we felt very unwelcome. We will never go here again!
Please check reviews on Yelp, they are more honest and unbias.

Beautiful grounds nice staff! Andre was awesome

Great wines, friendly people, great experience, beautiful location.
The wines are really unusual. For example, the absolutely delicious merlot tasted quite unlike any other merlot that I've ever tasted.

Vivian was very rude. The service was terrible! I recommend going Anywhere else

Excellent place to spend your weekend or fee day at. Wine tasted really good!

Best winery ever!!! Love the customer service and the wine is amazing. Property is beautiful. Must see winery!!!!

We stumbled upon this cute winery one Saturday afternoon. This place had very beautiful grounds, and the nicest owners. This place is small and offers a few different red wines for sample and purchase. If you’re in the area, stop in.

We had an amazing experience at this winery! The property is absolutely stunning, nestled in the beautiful hills of Morgan Hill—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. They offer a fantastic selection of wines with unique and interesting flavors, including CBD-infused options that were a delightful surprise.

Our hostess, Vivian, made the visit even more special with her warm hospitality, engaging conversation, and fascinating stories. She even played the guitar and sang for us, creating a truly memorable atmosphere. The friendly and inviting ambiance made us feel right at home.

If you’re looking for a serene spot with excellent wine and great company, this is definitely the place to be. Highly recommend!

We recently had my daughter’s wedding here and I have to say the owners and the staff here are amazing. Everything they helped us with did not go unnoticed. Our families really felt welcomed and comfortable. Everyone really liked the place this winery has such a peaceful setting and is a very elegant venue. My wife and I are thankful to the Castillo Family for working with us to make our kids’ day special.
Thank you to Ronnie Jo, Jesse and Viv for all that you did to make this a successful day.

Me and my girlfriend stopped by today on the way to the Airport and had an amazing time. Had some great Wine and great hospitality. Our Wine Hostess sang and played her guitar for us. Thank you so much!

Love the place. Very French countryside style deco. Wine is good hosts are considerate and nice. A 5/5!

I called this winery because I was going to be in this area and needed information. I checked their website and they offer no information on their wines or their wine tasting. So, I contacted by their preferred method of communication, text and by FB msgr. One person ended up texting, "what do you need to know" This is a not so friendly establishment. This is not what one gets by visiting their website. It's the most beautiful grounds. These people should NOT be in business. Someone in the wine industry should feature them and their poor customer service they provide to people who love wine. I'm thankful I never visited this winery. If they lack courtesy by phone, I can imagine how it would be in person. One of the questions I asked was which wines do they feature. Person texted, "red wines, some are blends" when I followed up question, they ignored me. If you're thinking of visiting this beautiful looking tasting room, think again. STAY AWAY FROM THIS WINERY.

Beautiful winery, but terrible wine! Take pictures of the winery and leave to nearby better quality wineries.

Our recent visit was unfortunately marred by an unwelcoming and confrontational atmosphere, largely due to the owner's demeanor towards families with young children. Despite the property's beauty, our experience was soured by the owner's insistence on enforcing a strict rule that children must be either on hand or on our laps at all times.

Despite our efforts to ensure our children, aged 2 and 3, remained well-behaved and nearby, we were abruptly asked to leave. The owner's approach to enforcing this rule was not only disrespectful but also left us feeling unwelcome and unfairly treated.

Furthermore, the manner in which the owner demanded we pay the tasting fee, emphasizing that we were guests in "her house," was needlessly confrontational and off-putting.

Given our experience, we strongly recommend the owner consider revising its policy to simply state that children are not permitted on the property. This approach would spare other guests the discomfort of being yelled at in the moment, which we found to be mean and rude.

Very friendly staff, beautiful grounds and quiet on a Saturday afternoon surprisingly. Wine was pleasant. Definitely will go back
