Alfaro is a gorgeous family owned winery, and the team there makes you feel right at home. The estate is nestled into the Santa Cruz hills, and the views are spectacular, especially on a sunny day. This was my second time at Alfaro, and I will certainly be back. The wines are delicious, and tastings reasonably priced. Both times we left with a few bottles, because the wines are just too good not to.

Alfaro's wine was better then their neighboring vineyards, however this area grows mostly Pinot Noir grapes, which isn't my forte. Alfaro is better suited for tasting on a warmer day, as their tables are located outside. They do encourage you to bring a outside snacks for the tastings, as they currently don't offer any food items. Make sure to make reservations in advance.

My favorite winery in town! The tasting room overlooks the beautiful vineyards and is truly a hidden gem in Corralitos! The tasting prices are an incredible deal and not to mention how sweet their staff is. You can find their wines in local restaurants and grocery stores all over town but you must plan a trip to visit their tasting room!!

Absolutely gorgeous little family owned vineyard with incredible views and an array of wonderful wines to try. This was my first time here, but our hosts are regular members here and introduced us to this great little winery.....for BYO "picnic" goodies to go with an assortment of fantastic tasting wines. I'm not sure how this membership thing works, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're into wines and enjoy a nice day out either sitting at one of the limited number of tables or chairs looking out onto the awesome views of the winery. My wife and I were just visitors in the area, were brought here for the very first time, and just went with the flow. And, to top things off, there was a solo guitarist playing wonderful instrumental songs while we enjoyed our Picnic and wines. The owner was also there to tend to the guests, engage in friendly banter, and just made sure we all had a great time.Excellent experience.....ok, I admit I am not an alcohol drinker and this was my first sip of wines in many years......yea, I got a bit buzzed probably from drinking too fast....because they were that good.....but luckily I wasn't the one driving :)

I'm a big fan of Alfaro Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. My go too wines. Great flavors & finish. I have not been to the winery for tasting; my friend had these 2 wines during a party & I'm so glad for that.

Great place to visit, great wine and impeccable hospitality. Family owned and operated and a wonderful asset to the community. Make a picnic charcuterie basket, invite your friends and enjoy the beautiful views of the Vineyard. Our family is blessed to just live down the road from the Vineyard. Kid and pet friendly.

I'm really sorry to give this winery the dreaded 1 star. First of our sever was really unpleasant and clearly did not enjoy working today. She was quite cold and didn't really seem to care about talking about the wines she was pouring. We also bought several bottles of wine but was told that we would still need to pay for the tasting fee since we didn't meet the 100 dollar threshold even though a couple paid 97 dollars for their purchase and the other couple in our party paid 325 dollars for some bottles. The wines were decent but the customer service was just really unpleasant. As a suggestion, consider waiving your tasting fee if a customer buys 2 or 3 bottle of wine versus a specific dollar amount. I also recommend hiring servers who enjoy working and talking about your wine. Just awful.

We recently visited Alfaro Family Vineyards and Winery. We were not only very impressed with the quality of their wines, especially the Pinots, but also the exceptional hospitality shown to us and our visiting out of state relatives. To top it off, the setting and views were beautiful! I/we highly recommend Alfaro Family Vineyards & Winery!

My family and myself had an amazing time here. I absolutely have no complaints what do ever. When we arrived, with a reservation of course, we were promptly greeted and sat down. We have the glasses laid out on the table along with the different pores. The customer service was amazing, and the view was breathtaking. Such a hidden gem. Defiantly will be back.

Stopped in today and was met with the rudest reception I've ever seen in 20+ years of wine tasting. After today I'll never buy another bottle of Alfaro or order it in a restaurant. Absolutely disgusted.
