Picchetti Winery

"A award-winning local winery with 128 years of history and currently owned by two brothers. Excellent open space for picnic, and of course wines! It’s also just 16-30min away from Cupertino / San Jose by car."

"Beautiful place in the hills. Winery and park with nice views, good wine and hiking. Even peacocks. Nice place for a picnic or a glass of wine. Check it out."

"We encountered very attentive and detailed staff during the wine tasting session, who provided thorough explanations. His introductions were highly professional and helped us make decisions about which wines to try. The wines were delicious, and the membership program felt like a great deal. The dessert wine Mission Angelica is truly impressive. Also they had outdoor seating that was perfect for picnics, and there was a nearby hiking trail. We really had a good time here and would definitely consider visiting again."

"I enjoyed my lunch at the serene, shaded picnic area before heading into the wine tasting room. I was greeted by an old and calming smell that only comes from vintage brick buildings (I later learned that this building is one of the few brick buildings in California due to earthquake regulations) and from start to finish I was treated to a breathtaking experience. If you visit this winery, which I highly recommend, I would suggest going on Monday at noon because I had the entire place to myself. It was a magical experience. My sommelier was extremely patient and kind and seemed to enjoy chatting about wine, answering all of my questions, dispelling my preconceived and incorrect notions about wine, and adding factoids and history about the establishment and wine in general. I was served 5 different wines, offered notes on what to taste for, and given ideal food pairings. Every. Single. Wine. Was. Delicious. I tried wines that I historically thought I disliked but in their small batch, extremely high standards for barrelling lent a smooth balance for every wine I tried. I particularly liked their Zinfandel wine because not only do I like Zinfandel the best, their Zinfandel vineyards are over 100 years old. If I could spend the meager $20 to do it again, I would do it in a heartbeat. In fact, the next time I visit California, I will bring a checked bag just so I can bring some bottles back home. 10/10"

"Picchetti Winery is a wonderful old little place for unwinding. You can go for wine tasting and the winery has lots of options available. If you are a wine lover you can buy cases of your favorite wine. The Winery has old house on the ground where you can see lovely peacocks roaming the grounds. Please do not feed them! We were lucky to see a peacock dance! You can book a table for small celebrations and make your time memorable. The parking lots are big. The trails in the Open Space Preserve start from the Winery. Overall a lovely place to visit any time of the year. Highly recommended!"
