Satori Cellars

Satori, from a Zen perspective, means "a taste of enlightenment." In the Santa Clara Valley, it also means a family-owned winery and vineyards (SA is for Sandy, TO is for Tom, and RI is for their 8-year-old son, Riley). From this 20-acre Oasis of sandy loam soil on the eastern edge of the Gilroy foothills, they create estate-grown, hand-made, love-infused “Big Reds” (Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and petite sirah).

Rapazzini Winery

Rapazzini Winery was opened in 1962 by Jon Rapazzini at the intersection of Highways 101 and 25 just south of Gilroy. Brothers, Charlie and Alex Larson, purchased the winery in 2000 where they continue to make great wines at affordable prices. They offer a wide range of 30 different wines -including 20 specific varietals and Almond Champagne.

Hecker Pass Winery

At Hecker Pass Winery, we believe family is the cornerstone for creating wines with a devotion to tradition. It is this commitment that allows us to produce wines with true Italian character. Mario Fortino (owner of Fortino Winery as well) and his family has a tradition of winemaking and commitment to excellence that continues as his son Carlo integrates the time-honored methods of 150 years of experience. It follows the wisdom of three generations of winemakers who had innovative ideas for the future.
