Such an unexpected pleasant surprise; an absolute gem. Their Pinot range is quite formidable. Elona, our sonmolier, truly made our experience one that we will treasure. She is worth her weight in diamonds. A definitely must visit place any time you are passing through the area. Also a beautiful destination. Highly recommend.
Attended a wedding. The grounds are beautiful. In addition to the rows of grapes, the area around the event space is beautifully landscaped with a small lake with fountains, flagstone pavers and foliage.
Thank you, Nella Terra! Always such a pleasant and relaxing experience! The ambience is perfect with a great atmosphere, excellent service and lovely surroundings & views. And the wines are excellent too!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in the Hills – Truly Special
Nella Terra is an absolute gem — a small, family-operated winery tucked away in the rolling hills of Sunol, just 15 minutes from my office. I’ve visited a few times with friends and recently became a proud wine club member. Every visit is a peaceful escape: quiet, scenic, and full of charm.
The wines are truly delicious, but what makes Nella Terra stand out is the people behind it. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Gerry and his son Griffin — both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and just a joy to be around. Their passion for what they do is infectious.
What makes it even more special is the heart behind the winery. Nella Terra is a tribute to Griffin’s Italian grandfather, and you can feel that legacy in every detail — from the vines to the hospitality. I also had the unique opportunity to work with the winery on a large community event that helped raise funds for the Washington Hospital Foundation — their support and involvement were top-notch.
Whether you're looking to relax with a glass of wine, host an unforgettable event in their stunning space, or join in on one of their fun community gatherings, I can’t recommend Nella Terra enough. The story, the experience, the family — it all makes for something truly memorable. Cheers to many more visits!
We have been to Nella Terra Cellars for 2 weddings and what a beautiful place to get married. If you are looking for a winery wedding venue, we highly recommend touring Nella Terra, you will be amazed at this place. - What’s Up Photos, photo booth
We had our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars in Sunol this May, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, joyful, and so well-executed thanks to the incredible team that helped bring it all together.
Kendall and Whitney from Nella Terra were so responsive and kind throughout the planning process. They answered every question, big or small, and made us feel confident and supported every step of the way. The venue itself is breathtaking—rolling vineyards, lush greenery, and in May, the weather was absolutely perfect. It felt like something out of a fairytale.
Our coordination team from Simply Lovely Events, led by Lindsay, was exceptional. Lindsay was organized, calm, and made sure every little detail ran smoothly on the big day. We didn’t have to stress about anything because she and her team had it all handled.
Torrey, our catering coordinator, was also a huge part of why everything went off without a hitch. The food was fantastic—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it—and service was prompt, friendly, and professional.
One of the things that stood out the most to us (and to all our friends and family) was just how fun and stress-free the entire day felt. Everyone had such a great time, and it was clear how much care and coordination went into making it all happen.
Thank you to everyone at Nella Terra, Simply Lovely Events, and the catering team for helping us create such a beautiful, meaningful, and unforgettable day. We’re so grateful!
Nella Terra was an absolute dream venue for our wedding—a stunning location that struck the perfect balance between intimacy and ample space for our 150 guests. We’re so grateful for the wonderful experience. The team was incredibly easy to work with and helped us navigate so many details along the way.
Definitely recommend it :)
Amazing place! People are extremely nice, good wine. We had a wonderful morning at Nella Terra and will definitely come back and recommend others.
Beautiful venue for a wedding -- lots of great photo spots! We've photographed two Indian weddings at Nella Terra and both of our couples were really happy with their experiences here. They updated their getting ready spaces recently and they put a lot of care into the landscaping. Nella Terra Cellars feels like it's own little oasis in the hills.
It was a spur of the moment decision for my friend and I to visit Nella Terra. I had heard that the property was beautiful but had never been…until yesterday! We were unsure of what to expect, but we were graciously greeted by the most wonderful Ilona. She gave us a wonderful history lesson about the property and family that own it. Lucky for us, we happened to be the only guests at that moment so we had all of Ilona’s attention. She delicately described each delicious wine that she poured. I drink reds more than whites, but I have to say that every white I tried was so delicious, the Alborino and viognier were top notch. The cream of the crop, however, was the 2022 Pinot Reserve….a perfect wine to celebrate any occasion. If you are looking for gorgeous, serene views, amazing wines, and exquisite service, you must try Nella Terra…what a treat!. Thank you for a memorable day, Ilona!!

I would like to extend a big thank you to Ilona, our perfect hostess, for making our recent tasting experience truly unforgettable. Tucked away in the beautiful highlands of Sunol its the perfect spot to celebrate.
Best tasting ever!!!! Ilona surprised us with what felt like a never ending selection of both reds and whites. Personal highlights for me were the alborino, so fresh and crisp, closely followed by a gorgeous viognier....additionally we found a new treasure, the 2022 Pinot Reserve (A must have for special occasions!)
Nella Terra has it all, a wonderful blend of great wine, beautiful scenery and excellent service.I can't wait to return for another tasting experience.
My husband and I visited 4 venues before visiting Nella Terra. After our visit, we knew Nella Terra was the venue for us. It checked off all of our boxes. A tent wedding with lots of greenery and photo opportunities.
We had our wedding October 5,2024 and it was beautiful. We received so many compliments of Nella Terra being the best wedding venue our guests have ever been to. Whitney and our vendors were amazing.
If you're considering to plan an event at Nella Terra, don't hesitate. You won't regret it!
Elena was great and very amiable to help me and my wife learn about wine and some of the varieties behind the wine at Nella Terra. It was a fun experience!
One of my favorite places. Staff is super friendly and the wine/views are A+
From the moment we toured Nella Terra Cellars in August 2023, we knew it was the perfect wedding venue. The stunning stone staircase surrounded by lush grapevines immediately captured our hearts, and we booked our September 2024 wedding the following day.
One of the venue's greatest strength is its comprehensive vendor network. I ended up choosing the majority of my FANTASTIC team (planning & design, florals, rentals, DJ, catering etc. all from their official list). Kendall, our point of contact, was outstanding - responsive, organized, and attentive to every detail. She personally ensured the bridal cottage felt welcoming, complete with champagne and cider to celebrate our special day.
On our wedding day, Nella Terra Cellars exceeded every expectation. The natural beauty of the landscape, combined with the venue's meticulous planning, created a truly magical experience. The rolling hills, gentle breeze, and stunning scenery provided a breathtaking backdrop for our celebration. We were touched by the numerous compliments about our venue from our guests, many of whom had journeyed significant distances to share in our special day.
Overall, we cannot recommend Nella Terra Cellars enough. We are already looking forward to returning each year to commemorate our wedding anniversary!
