Great local place to do a wine tasting, do a picnic or just hangout with friends with a bottle of Testarossa Wine.

The winery is dog friendly, so be ready to see four legged buddies walking around outside. The wine and charcuterie plate is a must have regardless what wine you have from there.

Quite a let down. Poor selection of tasting wines 2 Chardonnay ( 1 moderate and the other lacked any distinctive taste.) The 2 Pinot Noir we re very moderate also. No food available at lunchtime- all in all a bit of a waste of time. Staff were nice though

Beautiful and charming place. Visited the tasting room, took a tour (Norman was a great guide!) and had dinner in the cave room. The food was delicious - the beef bulgolgi hors d'oeuvre was tender and well seasoned. For dinner, I had chicken which was melt-in-your mouth good. My favorite wines were ...

Pass if you're not a member. Bought four tastings, bought two bottles of wine, wanted to sit down and eat a picnic lunch. The hostess tried to be accommodating, but all the picnic tables are for members only. She ended up seating us in the parking lot (ugh) at a table in the waiting area. Minute...

Testarossa is a fairly sprawling winery in the hills above Los Gatos. The place itself is cool to hang out, and the outside area was very relaxing. Looking forward to visiting again during the warmer Summer months. The wines were all pretty good (I'm not enough of a connoisseur to comment in more de...

While attending San Jose State University, I went to Novitiate Winery for a jazz event sponsored by the winery. The winery held several wine tastings throughout the day between artists sets. It was a wonderful day. I am glad Testarossa Winery still holds events. The winery is a very beautiful locat...

Expensive for mediocre wine, especially considering they basically have two styles, Pinot and chard. So if you like a bold red, you re completely out of luck. Also, they re patio staff was very rude to me and my girlfriend. Seems like the owners are just going for the typical I m rich in Los Gatos ...

We stopped by here on our way back from Santa Cruz. It was okay. The way they do the tasting fee and testee bucks was confusing. The wine was decent but we were hoping for better variety and didn't get alot of time or explanation for what we were tasting. The space however is quite lovely. It's too ...

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay winos rejoice! Testarossa is the place for you as they specialize in the wines from these two grapes. From what I know, their grapes are sourced from the Santa Lucia Highlands, and are truly local, Californian. Delicious.

The estate is also beautiful as it's actually tak...

This is a nice winery with a lovely outdoor area. The tasting room is nice as well. The few times I have been on weekends, it has been pretty busy. However it doesn't take long to get wine and small plates. There is usually ample parking, and the staff are pleasant. I have gone with an infant and a ...

Was disappointed, because we had to ask our server Belinda for information on each wine from the tasting. Typically they automatically tell you when giving you the glass. Made a reservation for 5 people, but they sat us at a 4 person table and had to wait for them to go inside and search for a spar...

I had a great experience at this winery, specializing in pinot noir abd chardonnay with a lot from Santa Lucia highlands, one of my favorite regions for wine. The ambiance was beautiful and the outdoor seating plus clean redwood scent made for a beautiful experience.

This is my favorite winery for a multitude of reasons.

1. The wines they have are incredible. I'm not typically not a huge fan of red wine due to it's tendency to be full of tannins, but their wine is virtually tannin free. I haven't had a single wine there that I have not enjoyed. I recommend...

Great winery, beautiful scenery, and solid service.

We came here for a team retreat with my company-- they put together a great selection of snacks, wine tastings, tea, and desserts. Lots of space to sit outside in a garden-like zen setting or inside the various tasting rooms.

We all know the wine rocks...no mistake there. However, the service is fabulous, the ambiance and views are hard to compete with and the food is fresh and local.

By coupling the aforementioned with live entertainment by "Sea 7", it simply warrants a 6th for me.

This spot is good if you wish to have some relaxed time with your friends. For South Bay folks, this option is good since it's closer. They have two wine tasting options, one for 10$ and another for 20$. They have a separate wine bar too.

Great tasting room for the wines that they have across California. There are two outdoor seating areas, one serves food and the other is a picnic area for people who bring their own. The staff is always friendly and eager to talk about the wine.

A great spot to visit if you are down in the South ...

We had a great time when we went here a few months ago. We went on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time in the tasting room and it was not crowded at all. Had an amazing Pinot and Chardonnay, once this whole shelter in Home place is done we will definitely be back

The Testarossa Winery is a nice place to hang out and have some appetizers, but don't go looking for a full meal, because you won't find it.The appetizers are good, if a little overpriced. And the menu is small. But that is the sacrifice you make when going to a winery for a meal.

We had our company's anniversary celebration here not too long ago. The food was good and so was the wine. The ambiance was delightful and they even had a room big enough to accommodate our whole team for our company meeting. The staff was very friendly and cheerful as well.

Modest wine tasting prices, decent wines. If you are fond of California Pinot noir, you'll like the wines. This is also a beautiful event space for hosting a party, wedding, etc. Personally, though, I felt that the wine tasting staff were knowledgeable, but all 'business' (i.e., get you in, get you ...

First time there. Had outside music, wine, cheese-meat-crackers and a lovely blind date experience. A customer painted a portrait of my date and gave it to her! Staff was friendly and helpful. Covered porch in the rain with heaters worked for me. I would go back for another visit to add to my rating...
