43 reviews for Picchetti Winery
This was a medium big winery and there's picnic tables outside.
The wine pours were small, but only $5 to taste 5 wines. I even got to taste an extra white port! So, ask them if you want to taste something else, but don't ask a ridiculous amount of times.
Service: some of the pourers will tell you what you are drinking, but some just pours.
It was not too busy for a Saturday afternoon.
I think the 2 star rating was mostly b/c of our server
--I don't know much about wine so it's nice to learn some new aspects about wine from staff members..this was the 1st time that our server didn't explain anything at all..the experience felt rushed, sort of a like a bartender trying to close for the night...the guy wasn't mean at all, don't get me wrong..but what he did was simply pour and move on, something I could have done
--another thing...I know it's not a bar but a tasting..but our server's pours were extremely small and I mean extremely small..my g/f is pretty small and she even mentioned that the pours were way too small....I literally took one small sip only to find my wine at the tail end of it's life..i've been to some wineries in los gatos, napa, sonoma etc, so I know a respectable serving size..to make matters worse, they pour the wine into a tiny tiny glass to almost make it seem like there's more inside when in actuality the wine is almost nonexistent..rather go elsewhere
My first winery, very quiet but that made it way more private. I went here on a Friday afternoon and tasted several tasty wines with two of my girlfriends. Last minute decision to come here since none of us had ever been to a winery and it was definitely a good choice. Very relaxed and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Trails weren't anything too exciting and the place wasn't that secluded which i was hoping for. Also during the entire time you could hear a car driving past up on the hill so it was a little distracting. Overall nice place but i probably won't go back for awhile.
**Also there are beautiful peacocks here!!! as you walk the trails and taste wine you will see them!**

If you have a Passport, don't go here on Passport Day. This tasting room is always open. Save Passport Day for Black Ridge and other tasting rooms that are only open on Passport Day or by appointment.
OK so when you do go here it is $5 to taste and that is refundable with purchase. They make you go to the check out to pay first, then bring your receipt to the tasting bar.
I think it was Cameron that poured for us. He was very friendly and happy to answer questions. He took the time to help us without hovering. He's great. The tasting room was really hot when we went so if you are easily struck down by heat, choose your day to visit carefully.
We didn't see the peacocks (too hot) but we did see some pretty trails and the drive up the hill was nice.
The wines are okay, solid, nothing super special except for that white port. We HAD to buy some of that one.

Beautiful atmosphere, great wines and awesome staff! The staff has a lot of knowledge about each of the wines and is really friendly and helpful. They make the whole tasting experience great! Cameron is particularly awesome.
The dessert wines are really unique, not too sweet and really great!
One of my BFF cousins invited me to be her plus-one date as her husband is away for business for the 50th Birthday bash of her company's founder, it was a Silicon Valley affair.
We were all dolled up and ready to mix, mingle and enjoy the fruits of the vine. Although my thoughts remained wishing for a young boy I met who was continuously text'ing me, I was glad for last Saturday's evening. It gave me a chance to keep him on his toes, wondering, "is she really into me?"
The venue was rugged, rustic and simply beautiful. The main kiosk or dining area was cozy built with natural wood juxtaposed brick walls. The wine was impeccable. A large outdoor space with views of the hills gave me a brief longing for the Tuscan and Umbrian hills.
The dinner was catered by a famous Sunnyvale Indian restaurant where an abundance of basmati rice, chicken, vegetable and decadent dishes was served in buffet style.
The celebration was poignant. A powerpoint presentation of his life by the children, speeches by beloved friends and colleagues left the celebrant in joyous tears. I was touched by the entire celebration while enamored by the winery. Service was impeccable.
For a while I forgot about my summer desire, yet when we drove down the hill enroute to Palo Alto, the longing re-emerged and the texting continued.
This was our first stop on our Santa Cruz passport weekend tour yesterday. I liked the wines here. If it hadn't been our first stop, I might have even bought some. I don't like to buy on the first stop usually.
We tasted the Rose, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Zinfandel, and a blend called the NV Red Pavone. I really liked the Tempranillo. The Zinfandel was strange for a Zin. It was good but it wasn't like a typical Zin. I also liked the Red Pavone.
I would have liked to check out their Cab but you had to be a club member to taste it. Bummer!
They also have a location in Tahoe. I might have to check that place out.
Next time, heading straight up the hill and not stopping.
Wines were a hit or miss. I felt like I was I was taken back to my Science Fair days-there were folding tables and hideous red tablecloths, making it very uncomfortable to taste, I need to rest my elbow on SOMETHING.
Face-time: Not much with the staff, there were about 15 parties in the house and TWO ladies pouring, they got the vino poured, but NOTHING was said about the wine, we were left to read the sheet protected list. Yay.

Winery in a park atmosphere with many varieties to offer, but just average wine quality. One of our 3 stops on our most recent SC passport weekend, this time sticking to local Cupertino addressed establishments.
Cost to worth it ratio: 4 ($5 tasting and waived if you buy a bottle)
Highlights:
- Atmosphere: super cute wooden and brick building inside a Rancho San Antonio-like park full of trails. Tasting room like a gutted cabin and had a long table along the back to try wines as well as plain Xmas type lights along the walls up by the ceiling. Picnic tables outside seem like a nice place to hang out and have a sandwich.
- Variety: I was shocked by how many types of wine they made. It filled the front and back of the full page listings with descriptions. There was a chardonnay, viognier, some varietal I've never seen, cab, zin, as well as some dessert wines. You get to pick 5 of whatever you'd like.
Lowlights:
- I didn't care for any of the wines :-( I wanted to--and I not only tasted my 5, but had sips of my hub's and my girlfriend's as well. Overall just middle of the road---nothing stood out for me as different or appealing in any of them. Most flavors were either subdued or I found them too sweet (not even speaking about the dessert wines). Out tasting experience with our hostess was a bit odd as well.
- Many club only tastes: I understand they'd like to make club members feel special, but some varietals such as pinot noir, you weren't able to taste at all as a non-member. If they are saving the best for only their club members, maybe us normal folk (who are susceptible to joining wine clubs mind you) are missing something.
It is a cool spot and I can imagine motivating myself to take a hike if wine was the reward at the end and it is close to Ridge, so I'm sure I'll be back to give it another try at some point. Maybe one of the wines will speak to me if I return.

The wine that I've tasted is great....especially the Pavone (both White and Red) and Agelica dessert wine. The grounds are beautiful, and the peacocks make it an interesting spot to walk around with your camera and bring your out-of-towners for a short trip before dinner.
So why the 2 stars? I have been to Picchetti on at least 2 occasions when we arrived about 20 minutes before closing, and we were reminded of this VERY STRONGLY by the tasting room staff. Ok Ok, I've worked in service/retail positions where leaving on time is extremely important. I don't want to be the jerk that stays in the store or restaurant and hour after closing....I get it. But at a winery? If the staff needs to get out of there, maybe have a "last appointment time", or don't allow walk-ins. It just feels unwelcoming, which makes me want to buy a $10 bottle at Trader Joe's instead.
Normally head straight up to Ridge Vineyards, but decided to stop in at Picchetti. I was totally blown away. I have been a member at Ridge for a while, but after tasting what Picchetti had to offer I decided to join their club.
Montebello Cab blend down at Picchetti for only 55 and I am paying around 3 times that at Ridge. I enjoyed everything they had to offer their Chard was just how I like it nice and buttery. I don't understand how people could dislike these wines. DELICIOUS
The best thing about this place is that it's near some great trails. That's really about it.
I don't mind the homey feel of it, it's kind of cool to be honest. Sometimes wineries are a little full of themselves and overdo things. Picchetti definitely doesn't do that.
Why 2 stars then? The wine. Sorry, but it's nothing special. The tasting is cheap, and it's really nice that you can pick and choose what you taste, but all the wines lack punch and flavor and I found them a bit sour.
I'd go back, but for the trails and the views and not for the wines.
I love this winery simply because it's just a 15 minute drive from my apt. A group of my friends and my in-laws headed over to Pichetti Winery to do some hiking and some wine tasting. I was not very interested in doing any hiking and was more interested in tasting some wine! For $5, you get to taste 5 wines. They pour about 1 oz. into your glass. A few of their wines were sold out. You could buy it by the bottle but they weren't able to provide a taste which happened with their chardonnay. The only wine that I really enjoyed was the Mission Angelica which was a sweeter wine with an cube and a lemon peel.
We came at a great time because there was a band playing but when we finished our wine tasting, the band was already packing their stuff up. We sat outside, enjoying the sunshine. It's a great place to come and bring a picnic basket, have some glasses of wine and relax. There's also a hiking trail that you can do but make sure to come back and taste some wine.

I agree with reviewer Diana E. to avoid this place on passport days. It was a bit disappointing to go here after visiting Ridge and a couple small family wineries up Montebello Road.
The place was packed and felt terribly hectic. Since it was getting late, we had to do our 5 tastings very quickly, which in the end was no problem since none of the wines really impressed us greatly. If I wanted to pay a premium, I'd rather spend my hard-earned $$$ on Ridge, or if I wanted everyday drinking wines, I'd much rather buy more of the extremely cheap zin they had at this family-owned winery down the street. Probably one of their issues is that they have too many different types of wine, so they don't seem to have a specialty. Their tasting pours (capped at 1oz) were pretty stingy too. It's a good thing it was free for passport day, 'cause otherwise, I'm not sure if I would pay to taste here.
Would be 2 stars, but gave it 3 for the nice grounds and the peacocks.

My disclaimer: AVOID THIS PLACE ON WEEKENDS AND PASSPORT DAYS!!!!
So now I said it. Peacocks, walk trails, ponds way cool.
Now for my review: the wines not bad, I'm not screwing to the rafters though. I'm still trying to figure out who would want to have a wedding at this location. Although, I know people who have.
They make these interesting mixes with their wine that are delightful. But I repeat if you want to experience the wines and have a conversation with the staff, don't go on the previously mentioned days.
What I had the most problem with was the pricing of the wines for what they tasted like. Now, considering I had just left Ridge that was not a fair assessment I suppose.
Yes, it's worth the trip especially if you on the way to any other winery up the road. Take a picnic basket and you're cool. Nice way to spend a relaxing afternoon in a nice serene setting. Don't try to touch the peacocks, they aren't feeling people. Pretty to take pictures of though.
Just my 2 cents!!!

Mind you, I came on a Thursday afternoon, in October, and there was no one else around besides those in our party. I think due to that fact, I loved this quaint little winery and the lovely little five-buck wine tasting before our Whole-Paycheck picnic. I didn't even mind the peacock that came sniffing around when we were cleaning up; in fact, he was kind of helpful, eating our leftover bread and being generally an amusing and odd looking creature.
The wine itself was wine -- some good tasting blends, especially their Syrah and Savones. Plus the guy pouring was kind to the eyes, with his adorable little dimple on the left side of his face.
Overall, I gotta go with a 4-star rating, but hey, what do I know? I'm from Chicago, and I went on an empty day. All I can tell you is the wine was good, the weather lent itself to a GREAT day for picnicking at their dedicated tables, and the whole place was wilderness-y without being too far out in the middle of nowhere.
This place is a secret gem right in Cupertino... a stone's throw from my friend's place. There's nice hiking to be had with a trailhead right by the winery. There's also a little lake and a rod & gun club nearby... my friend is such a lucky bastard.
The wine was good, maybe a tad expensive for what you're getting -- maybe because its a small boutique winery. But I joined their wine club anyway. Its 2 bottles, roughly $60, every 3 months. That's a small price to pay to help support a local winery. The 2005 Super Tuscan was pretty good, a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot. The wine pours are so tiny, half of it gets stuck in my cavities and I couldn't even fully taste the wine.
If you're a club member you can bring 3 friends for free wine tasting every month, otherwise its five bucks. Too bad I only have 2 friends in the world, and one of them is imaginary. So if any of you yelpers want to try some wine, come on down with me every 3 months when I go to pickup my 2 bottles... Remember, my name is Bryan K. Just make believe we're friends.

$5 to taste pretty much all of their wines. Unfortunately, all of them are table wine quality.
They offer all sorts of wine, and they don't grow their own grapes except for Zin (if I remember correctly). And their wines are all small production. What does that tell me?
1) They get grapes from many different vineyards who would never consider them as VIP due to small volume purchase.
2) They cannot possibly perfect in any kind of wine because they lack focus and make very little each year. Very low learning curve.
3) Hence, no wonder their wines weren't good.
The tasting room is very crowded and they serve the wine in an OJ glass. Horrible.

Picchetti has a gorgeous setting at the base of Montebello just a short drive from suburban Cupertino. Their expansive grounds are home to some peacocks which can make your visit pretty interesting if you can handle the awful screams they make. I saw one fly for the first time on my visit yesterday.
The wine at Picchetti, unfortunately, can be very hit or miss. And, yesterday was a miss. In fact, some the wines were pretty damn awful, particularly the Zin. It was fairly cool yesterday morning in the large old building that houses their wine tasting room and the reds they were pouring were a little too chilled. On top of all of this, they attach some pretty premium prices to their wine which I fell is unwarranted.
So, two stars for the wine + one star for the setting & the peacocks.
Fun place to not only taste wine, but walk around... I wanted to get married here, but my husband thought it was a little too rustic (and small). It's a good way to spend an afternoon sometime. Love the peacocks! Wine tasting is $5, but they put that toward any purchases. The people who work here are very friendly, and will hang out and talk with you while you taste. Open 7 days a week! I am having a glass of the Sangiovese right now, and it is delicious. My mouth started watering when I opened the bottle...
I usually bring my cat here - she is a huge (and I mean that literally) fan of their white Pavone,and, after she's had a couple glasses of it, she loves to chase the peacocks around the property. Great fun!

Generally there's 3 simple criteria I judge a winery on: ambience/architecture of the winery itself, friendliness/knowledge of the pourers, and of course, yummyness of the wines itself.
Picchetti excels at all 3 of these. Like most Santa Cruz Mountain wineries, it is a great rustic building nestled in the hills (indeed, you can even go hiking from here). I'm not sure if the pourer we had was the owner himself, but he knew everything about the wines and took us seriously as potential buyers (as a young person, there's nothing I hate more than pourers who take one look at you and assume you're just there to get drunk on tastings). And the wine itself was excellent. Probably half of what we tasted was worth buying, which is a pretty good showing. The Viognier in particular is worth coming back to re-stock up on.

I FINALLY SAW A PEACOCK!!!!!! I had never seen one before.. so that already gave the place a few stars!! ;o) When I went there it wasn't packed... was such nice weather.... went inside and everyone was nice.. though the guy who was pouring seemed to have a face accent.. but I guess it was real but he was making it very nice for everyone..! whuuuuuutever! Wines were nice... had a nice stroll on the grounds.... bought me some peacock feathers and picked up some wine... had a great time! I think there is a trail that people can walk... but I wasn't trying to do that!! ahhahahaha

After reading some great Yelps about this place, we decided to get on our bikes the next day to head over for a little afternoon picnic and wine tasting at Picchetti.
Beautiful location; calm and rustic with peacocks roaming around all over. Very friendly staff. Not too busy on a hot friday afternoon in June. $5 for 5 tastes, AND you get to choose them from their list (excluding Wine Club wines)! I particularly liked their Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. Merlot, Pavone, and Vino di Vicino (all 2004, I think) were a little too smoky in flavor for me. Tasting fee is refunded with wine purchase.
Be sure to bring a little something to enjoy for your picnic; they also supply some cheeses and crackers for sale inside the tasting room in case you forget. And be aware of the peacocks-- they are used to people and know where to get at the crumbs!

Pichetti is a fabulous place. I've been a wine club member for over a year now.
My most favorite wines from there are the 2004 Pinot, the 2002 Zinfandel, the Port, Rose, and the Sangiovese.
Lately the newer wines have been a little disappointing, and they've lost some of the veteran staff. It's stilla great place and I would recommend stopping by in summer... there's a strecth of time when they bring in live bands. Drinking their Rose ice cold during summer is an experience unparalled by anything in this universe.
The grounds here are interesting, and there are a few peacocks hanging around.
As for their wines....They range from just ok, to bad.
Although, I like that they have a lot to choose from for your tasting.
I tasted two whites, one rose, and two port-style.
The man that poured for us seemed to forget about us from time to time.
Between the four of us, a variety of their wines were tasted. Unfortunately, no one liked anything very much.
It seems a lot of people love this place, and I'm a little mystified as to why.
I love visiting this winery. The grounds are fabulous - they have a grassy picnic area next to the creek. There are picnic tables, a great spot to bring some bread and cheese and enjoy a bottle of the Pichetti wines. This is a great place to visit with kids - they love to play on the lawn and next to the old barn. There are a few peacocks that roam the grounds, they are very tame and will come right up to you while you are enjoying a picnic - the kids LOVE this! It is connected to the Pichetti natural preserve so if you want to take a short hike you can do so. We did a cub scout event for my son's troup here - we did a short hike then the boys had a picnic lunch - and the parents had a great time enjoying a glass of wine while the kids played.
I am surprised to see such mixed reviews for the wine here. I'm a member of the wine club (I request the reds only) and I personally enjoy their wines. Some of fairly inexpensive and make great everyday wines and some very nice higher end wines. They wine quite a few awards for their wines. As a wine club member I can bring 3 guests to the winery for free tastings, I have brought many out of town guests here and they always enjoy it.

I did not care for this place at all. It was the last stop on our Santa Clara County wine tour and it was nothing special. I did not find the peacocks amusing...sorta frightening actually. They could do so much more with their space and their barn, but it just seemed so bare and like it was missing something. But if you have kids and you want to bring the family to a winery, this is a good one. I'm sure the kids would love the peacocks. Lots of open space to play.
I honestly did not think the wine was great. But the best part of the winery is sitting on the tables and drinking, and taking a walk along the path. There was a beautiful view.
this place is nice for wine tasting ($5 for 5 pours I think--my husband tasted some, I'm not much of a wine drinker). Great for having a picnic, and hiking in and around the area. They are part of the Pichetti Ranch Open Space Preserve, next to Stevens Creek Park and if you want a longer hike you can start at Fremont Older. Don't miss the peacocks that are at the winery.

My husband and I visited the winery yesterday afternoon. We were invited to check out the bottling process by Aimee that taught a class at a local wine bar. (savvy cellar) It was pretty cool to see the bottling process and how everything worked at the winery. We got to see the big storage containers and even tasted some wine that was being bottled yesterday. Then we went up to the tasting room and met smiler and got to wine tasting. We were told to taste the red blends. The ones we tasted were excellent. Very drinkable on their own and right out of the bottle. We ended up wine members and bought a bottle of rose and proseco. I am excited for the wine tastings that are held at the winery for members and getting free tastings!! All in all a great experience and the ground are just beautiful. I can't wait to go hiking and pinicing in the area.

As mentioned by previous reviewers $5 for 5 tastes is awesome, thus Picchetti Winery deserves 5 stars. I've been tasting wines for many years and I've never left a winery w/ the certainty that I'll be coming back... and it's all because of their "Mission Angelica."

Very nice setting, very nice people as well. A nice get-away for an easy afternoon. Some of their Sangiovese was very, very good.

I absolutely love this place. Here is what I usually do when I go here: bring a picnic lunch, take a short hike, taste the wines (5 pours for 5 dollars), buy a bottle or two (they take $5 off the price making the tasting free when you purchase and the bottles cost around $25), open a bottle and eat lunch on the picnic tables surrounded by peacocks. Now doesn't that sound like an awesome day? The wine here is good, the people are nice, and the grounds are really pretty.

Picchetti is a great little winery just a stones throw from Silicon Valley. The grounds are very nice; quaint old buildings dating back to the late 1800's, patrolled by numerous peacocks,and tucked away in a wilderness setting that feels miles away from the craziness of the valley below. They have quite a few different wines, some of which are quite tasty. The Italian style Sangiovese and Super Tuscan were both very good and their 2004 Cabernet was outstanding. It's still quite young but if you buy a bottle now and put it away for a few years you won't be disapointed. Don't be turned off by the couple of negative reviews here. They were written by a casual drinker of whites and a self described "WANNA BE" wine critic. Sure, Picchetti's wines might now be in the same league as Kistler, but you don't win gold and silver medals with "undrinkable" "table wines" .

I went here yesterday on a picnic with my parents, grandparents and my sister. The winery itself is beautiful. The interior of the tasting room is nice. It's an old brick building with exposed wooden beams and the wooden bar is gorgeous. My mum, dad, granda and I each tasted 5 wines. I had 1) chardonnay, 2) pinot noir, 3) sangiovese, 4) cabernet sauvignon, and 5) zinfandel. I' m not a big fan of white wine (although on a hot day like it was it can be refreshing), so the #1 wasn't my favorite. #2 was nearly undrinkable. I'm a alkie people and it wasn't something I'd drink on a good day. It was far too dry, but I'm sure there are some people out there that love their dry wine that might like it. #3 was my second place favorite. Very flavorful. I heart cabs though and the cabernet at Picchetti is incredible. Really strong chocolate smell in the glass, with an excellent cherry flavor (and you thought I just drank wine). The zin was so-so.
We bought 4 bottles and then had a great picnic which was almost ruined by a swarm of bees but we couldn't let that destroy a family day out. The peacocks there are totally tame, they came right up to the spot on the grass we were eating and ate my salami, but they're so pretty...don't worry peacock, I ain't mad at ya.

What more could you ask for!?
Close by, yet feels secluded. Easy and safe parking. Beautiful grounds; free-roaming peacocks, nice large lawn and picnic area, historic buildings with a unique past, low intensity hiking trails.
All of this cradles an old brick wine building where for a $5 fee (refunded with purchase), you can taste wines that are obviously a work of love.
This is a 'boutique' winery, so if you are looking for wines with a refined (and overly re-fined) taste that are dirt cheap, then you would want to head away from the wineries in this region. Yes, the old estate Zinfandel grapes (which are over 120 yrs old, BTW) are the only that are grown on-site, but grape growers don't necessarily make the best wine makers and vice-versa.
The Chardonnays are reliably good year after year. Try anything labeled Leslie Estates - it will be crazy good. The Sangiovese will make your mouth water. Make sure you taste the Mission Angelica with and w/out the lemon rind and ice cube, the difference in taste is amazing. If you are lucky (or join the club), you can taste the Old Vine Zin and a White Port (they call it "liquid love") that will rock your socks off.
Stop and read a few of the signs about the history of this site and the wines will taste that much better, it truly is a rare find.
Food sale on-site is very limited, so be sure to pack a picnic lunch!
Having a great pourer with a warm disposition can make or break a winery visit for me. Because even if the wine is great, I may not choose to spend money on it if the experience wasn't. "Smiles" was an awesome dude who gave us a great verbal history of the place and their wine and made for a great guide through our wine tasting. We went on a Wednesday 12/30 so it wasn't too crowded...bonus! The winery is mainly supported by their club members so some wine prices may be high if you aren't in the club where you can get around 30% off. We joined the club because we moved and now live nearby and the wine is good enough for us to want to come back.
A very serviceable Santa Cruz Mountain winery. Park in the open space parking lot adjacent to winery (a trail for the open space runs through it). The Pinot was very good and the Pavone (red or white, their blend) was probably the best thing they were pouring. As the previous reviewer mentioned their are wild (but quite tame) peacocks running around the ranch.
We liked their sweet wines. Tasting fee of $5 but it gets applied to your purchase of their wines. I especially liked their dessert wines: the port and their Mission Angelica. Peacocks roam the grounds and there are hiking trails available that start from the winery.
