Saison Winery

Great place to taste local wines from the Santa Cruz mountains. Super friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. Thanks Elise for an amazing experience

I arranged a Meetup event here on Sunday, April 14th, 2024. Because I knew that the location was small, I emailed the a few weeks ahead of time. The response was fast and great. They offered to close the place for us or accommodate us in other ways which was fantastic. We decided to take a chance of finding a table. It was a small group of 7 and there was no problem getting 2 tables even with others in there. It is a cozy place but with enough elbow room for everyone. We all decided to try the tastings, I got the white flight and the others choose the red but a couple of women wanted to share 2 flights so each taste would be split into half a taste among the 2. Elisa who was pouring was fantastic and just rolled with it. She was attentive! We were greeted with a tasting of Rose even before we ordered and she was on top of things, we didn't even notice when she replaced our empty glasses with the next tasting. The chardonnays were good and the rest of the group seemed to enjoy the reds as well. One of the women became a member. All in all a very pleasant experience!

Awesome wine tasting room in DTLG! I met a friend here and as soon as I got to the table, the tasting room associate delivered me a pour of their rosé, which was absolutely fabulous. After sipping on that, we chose from their 5 different tasting flights, all of which consisted of 3 wines at various prices. I went with the saison experience, which consisted of 1 white and 2 reads, and my friend the burgundy flight, which was all pinots. As we worked thorough our tastings we were delighted to be given another extra pour that was similar to our flights. Each time we were given a wine/new wine to try we were provided with some information about the grapes and the style the wine was made - tasting notes with flavor profiles for each wine were listed on the back of the menu with all the wines they had.Overall we had a great experience and both ended up going home with at least a bottle. I went home with the rosé and merlot, and I was tempted to go home with even more than one bottle of that rosé. Definitely plan to come back here and taste again sometime!

We stopped at Saison Winery Tasting Room on a whim. We were greeted warmly and told to sit wherever we wanted. It was pretty empty on a Friday afternoon. We opted for the white wine flight ($15) and the Saison Experience ($18 as of July 2024). Both were great and tasted unique. Elise checked on us frequently and offered a complimentary rosé tasting to start us off and a splash of whatever else we wanted to try - I tried the Syrah Mendocino, which was also great. They also provide a mixed nut selection to pair with the wine tasting. There is free street parking, and the interior is cute. It was a nice way to spend an hour or two!

I stopped by 2 days ago because the weather was nice and I needed Santa Cruz wine in my system. While the space is small, the sliding doors open to make it feel expansive. The service was nice and prompt, though I wish we were given more info about each glass. I had a red wine flight (can't remember the name of it) and enjoyed each wine on it. The Merlot and Cabernet stood out to me and I ended up taking a bottle home with me. Maybe I'll try more of the snacks here the next time I visit.

Very quaint little spot right in the heart of Los Gatos. You're able to make a reservations or walk in, although reservations are recommended. They have about 4-5 different tasting options depending on your pallet with 3 wines in each. They bring all tastings out at the same time so you're able to drink at your own pace.Price point is very fair. $18-20 per tasting. $20-30 for charcuterie board. Decor, ambiance, & service is wonderful. It's absolutely adorable inside. They have bar seating, table seating & seating packages available. There is outdoor seating available, as well. Everything was set up & presented so well. The wines were delicious, & the pours are pretty decent. Over all it was a very relaxing experience & I am so glad we came here. We will absolutely be returning.

Cute place but if you work in the industry don't think you will get your industry free tasting at this place.

I am a big fan of the original Saison in all of its iterations and it's wine program. WHen they started making their own wine way back when I got to taste what was a smaller portfolio at their restaurant. Now they have a tasting room that represents a much bigger selection of their wines. Having recently had lunch just down the street I walked by and dropped in. Got to taste the majority of everything that they had which was as I remembered and then some now that the types have grown. It kind of reminds me of this French wine bar I went to Tokyo years ago in both size, and fun after you've had a few. definitely look to going back and experiencing more of the vintages down the line

Great Wine and great hostess Alise. She was very friendly and helpful with wine selections.
