Coterie Winery

Stopped in this weekend and had an amazing time! Loved this inviting tasting room, everyone was really friendly and the wines were fantastic! So much so that I joined the club. Love this local, handmade wine! I'm looking forward to joining some of the events.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I always passed it on my walk with my dog but it has always been closed. Their hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Today I planned my visit because I just knew I couldn't keep passing this place without trying it. Upon arrival, there was a food truck there. The food truck was called Fire and Rice. I quickly glanced at the menu and headed inside. They have nice outdoor seating and stand-up tables. There is seating inside and outdoors. We were greeted by one of the owners who told us all we needed to know about Coterie Cellars. We were told about the list of wines and their flavors. We tried 3 of their wines and went with Caries Corner's Pinot Noir. We also bought a bottle of another wine we tried to take home. We grabbed a seat inside the establishment after a lovely conversation with the owners and family. We enjoyed our wine and just had to try something from the food truck. I would definitely return. The vibes were chill, the wine was great, and so was the food truck. It was too crowded although there were a few guests but two tables were available when we were ready to be seated. Please Note: Food trucks are there on Fridays and its a new food truck each time. The menu changes every couple of weeks. Tastings are only on the weekends and not on Fridays.

Fantastic wines, knowledgeable owner, always good stories.Good membership no-pressure deals.

Wine was great, staff was nice, and it was fun to hear about how they actually bottle the wine themselves. We also got a snack plate that was delicious, and the seating area was very low key and relaxing.

Came here on a Friday night for the first time! Parking is a little challenging just based on location so I'd recommend possibly ubering here. We came around 6:30 and let me tell you, this place was PACKED. Every table was taken but somehow we were still able to find an open one despite how busy it was. The staff was extremely friendly and shared with us some of the upcoming events they have going on. Check out their website to see what food offerings they have on Fridays. I will definitely be back to do a tasting.

We chose to come here as an activity while my mom was visiting. This place is truly a gem in the middle of San Jose. I love that I don't need to drive 2 hours to wine country to get some good wine - it's just "right in my backyard"! While reservations aren't mandatory, I still made one anyways as you never know how busy a Sunday afternoon can be. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owner Kyle and (I think) Marissa. Both were so kind and attentive to our needs. Our party of 4 each got a tasting and shared 1 cheese platter. Each tasting is $20 each and each cheese platter is $20 each. My boyfriend's favorite tasting was the Rosé and mine was the Syrah. And my mom and her friend enjoyed the Pinot Noir. Kyle also gave us an extra tasting - a dessert wine to park with the dried pineapple from the cheese platter. The espresso rubbed cheese from Cowgirl Creamery was SO GOOD, honestly, wanted more of that. Overall, we had such a great experience that I joined their membership. It happened to be one of the distribution months so our entire tasting was waved. I'm excited to be apart of this winery and can't wait to join some of their weekly events this summer. TLDR; if you are looking for a winery in SJ and don't feel like driving 2 hours, I recommended visiting this spot.

We went here yesterday to celebrate our anniversary and had the best time! The atmosphere is super cozy with seating inside and outside, decor is beautiful and just all around inviting. It felt like being at home. Kyle who is the owner was absolutely amazing as well as Priya. They made us feel so welcome and we learned so much from them about the wines. Side note, I am super introverted so it's hard for me to feel comfortable outside of my house so finding a place where I felt completely relaxed and comfortable is huge. Also, Kyle is very compassionate...there was a gentleman that was lost and Kyle came out and talked to him and was so kind to him and helped him find his way back to where he was going. You don't see that often and it was very heartwarming. Wines are fabulous and we can't wait to come back!

I've always seen this place & it's name come up as a local wine spot in San Jose, but never got a chance to check it out until recently. I attended a ladies social or smaller meet up group event here, and loved the overall feel and the wines weren't bad at all! Sometimes the nicer looking wineries or wine tasting rooms don't have the best wines. On the outside it's almost hard to find driving down the street and almost looks like those garage type businesses, but inside it's very warm inviting and we'll decorated. I was lucky to find parking but as it's most residential it's street parking or ride share may be recommended. The space itself is not super huge inside but does accommodate a generous amount of people and has tables inside and outside. Our server/hostess was Priyanka, and some that pour wine just pour without creating an experience for the guests, but Priyanka told us a lot of background story about the wines and even told us about some not on the tasting menu which was fantastic. Even going wine tasting a lot in East Bay Pleasanton/Livermore that type of service has gone down. The wines overall I liked some of the whites and reds, usually I prefer reds but their whites weren't terrible. The pours itself were light compared to other places but I was grateful as I had other events to attend. My only expectation was starting out with a bubbly or sparkling which I love at other wineries. They don't have one here, but I do look forward to coming back to try them again and purchase some bottles. I ordered the tasting and a snack tray, overall it was similar prices to East Bay snacks and wine around $45. I made a mistake of perhaps forgetting to ask for the meat and cheese tray items to be separated for my veg. friend. Or perhaps there should be a cheese only offering and one option with meat and cheese? They're a neighborhood winery with limited hours but did mention food trucks on certain days. A must to go, I would hope for extended hours on another Sunday but it's 1-5pm only. Cheers

Great ambiance, customer service, and wine! Coterie is a hidden gem located right in the heart of San Jose situated in a very cozy neighborhood. There's plenty of parking on the streets, but be mindful of the residential parking which requires permits to park at. Finally had the chance to drop by our neighborhood wine spot for their "Foodie Friday" event. There's, usually, a food truck that they have parked in front of their establishment. Had the absolute pleasure of meeting P and Kyle, and learned a bit of history behind their cellar; how they source their products, locally, and drive the grapes up from Paso Robles (I believe) and bottled at this very location. You have the option to grab a glass or purchase a bottle to enjoy in their seating areas (indoor or outdoor available). Should you find yourself unable to finish the bottle you purchased, they will re-cork it for you so you can bring it home.We laid our foundations before arriving, but really wished we hadn't because the food smelled soooo good! Looking forward to our next visit with them!

Came here for a tasting while my friend was visiting from out of town, and it was a wonderful experience! From the start, we were warmly greeted by Kyle, who welcomed us, allowed us to choose a table, and walked us through their menu. Our server was lovely and knowledgeable, giving us a thorough rundown of the notes and region for each of the pours. I'm sadly forgetting her name, but she was patient in answering our questions about the membership and friendly; we got to talking at the end, and turns out she's also a huge Janet Jackson fan, too, which was the reason my friend was in town, so that was fun.The tasting is $20 and consists of a sauvignon blanc, a rose, and three reds - a pinot, a cab and possibly a syrah? I usually love sauvignon blancs, but this one was slightly bland to me. It lacked the minerality or acidity to make it truly distinctive. However, I loved the pinot, which is a big deal because I don't usually drink much red wine. It's light and fragrant -- the kind of red you can drink during the day without needing a specific food pairing. My friend was a big fan of the rose, and we each purchased a bottle of our favorite, which meant that the tasting was free!Also, I can't end without mentioning that the meat and cheese pairings are a must! We were stuffed from our sushi lunch in Japantown but we're so glad we opted for a charcuterie plate. There were assorted cured meats, a darker cheese and a lighter cheese, seeded rustic crackers, plain rustic crackers, apricot preserves and nuts. Be sure to let your server know if you have any food allergies or restrictions and they'll be happy to accommodate! Reservations are recommended; it was only half full when we got there at 2:15 but started to fill up around 4pm.
