Having lived in the nearby section of the East Bay my entire life, it was shocking when a friend offered for us to join at a very local winery. Right up until the point of parking, I was still skeptical; and then we were at Four Fools Winery. This winery is interesting in that, IMO it is good at a little bit of everything while no particular mastery. The location is not at all far from the water and so provides a nice view for those that want to pay attention. But nice is about it, factually there is no conversation level view like of the GGB or the SF skyline. But thats ok. Parking is on gravel so heel-wearers be cautious. The entrance is basic and local-feeling, not all flashy like other places roughly an hour or so northeast. The benefit of this though would be to support local artists and talent and to buy souvenirs and trinkets that reflect the local culture, not Am@z0n. Staff was kind and talkative to the amount you the patron wants to be talkative, they kinda match your energy. And of course, the wine. The flight was good. The wines differed in flavor and texture so that in itself is always interesting. But nothing jumped out to really grab attention, and the flight could have been a little larger. Again, rating of good. So why go to Four Fools Winery? Two reasons for me. One - proximity. For where we live, this is way closer than Napa, Sonoma, Livermore, Santa Rosa or anywhere else. Cutting traffic time, distance, bridges and gas makes a big impact. And the view is still good if not grande. Two - balance. One more star would come if Four Fools really excelled in one or two areas. Instead everything is "good". However there is a value in that. Nothing is bad, and with everything good there is a sense of basic balance which in itself is a plus. And we plan to go back ourselves, so good isn't an acronym for something lesser or negative. So don't be a fool and pass up this local discovery, be a fool for Four Fools and get in there for a relaxing good time.

I've been here as a vendor and I've also purchased wine here and I love the wine! I have to say that a few of my friends prefer the peach wine and I love it as well! Beautiful views of the water and mountains also the refinery is pretty at night when the lights are glowing ? Divine Babe OracleThank you to the staff I appreciate you

This is a fun small winery with a fantastic staff. Super friendly vibe. Attended a Beetlejuice Halloween themed event night where they hosted local vendors. The staff went all out to make it colorful and interesting. The bay views are spectacular here.

Beautiful winery with tons of outdoor seating overlooking the San Pablo Bay. We found a Groupon for 2 tastings (regular price $15pp) which allowed us to try 6 wines each. There were 3 whites and 3 reds, and each person received 1 ounce of each. After we finished those, we also tried the bubbly tasting ($7pp). Everything we tried was fantastic! For a Friday night, it was surprisingly quiet. We had the entire balcony to ourselves from 6pm when we arrived to when they closed at 8pm. It was such a treat watching the sun set during an unseasonably warm October evening (around 90deg) and seeing the boats, trains, and ducks go by. Service was attentive. My only complaint is that the seating and tables are quite dirty - dusty with lots of cobwebs, some spiders. Happy to come back again!

This is one of those places that is so awesome you really don't want to leave a review so you can keep it all to yourself. But then you'd never enjoy going there knowing that you were keeping such an awesome place a secret from others. So if you're thinking about coming here, just do it.

The people are so welcoming and friendly. Can’t beat the view overlooking San Pablo Bay. A special place to relax with a good bottle of wine.

Definitely a Rodeo hidden gem and one of the most unique wineries with an awesome bay view. You'd never know by the front just how amazing the views in back are, I grew up just around the corner and was in shock at just how nice and fixed up this place is. So glad to see a newish, cool business like this one in Rodeo. Great tasting wines for unbeatable prices. And the workers were so nice and inviting. Highly recommend!!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly people. It’s one of kind places. They don’t make their own wines but the wines are well made. Mostly from Lodi grapes. The price is low for the quality. Really nice place to chill out and enjoy the sunset over the San Pablo Bay.
Great wine by the bottle or the glass. Fabulous events that the whole family can enjoy, including the children. Not just for wine drinkers.☺️

Such a beautiful find! I love the scenery. We did some wine tasting. Service was great. You can order in food from surrounding restaurants or bring your own. Order wine by the glass or bottle. Truly a treat.

Four Fools is a local gem hidden in the sleepy, often forgotten town of Rodeo, CA. Don't be fooled by the optics as you drive down Parker to , it's worth the slight detour to take the exit to check out the vibe and scenery at Four Fools. The views are amazing, the staff is personable, and the wines are tasty and will please any palate. Crafts made by local artisans are usually available for sale, there are food truck events, live music, yoga classes, RV parking is available, light comestibles (they were testing the possibility of offering charcuterie boards on a recent visit), and did I mention the views? For locals Four Fools is an ideal place to visit for a few hours to unwind, release, and relax without a lengthy drive. I'm ecstatic that Four Fools survived COVID and look forward to seeing how it continues to grow.
