Great tasting wines and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a great time in their tasting room. They honored our South Bay wine passport with open arms. A very wonderful experience.

This is a secret little gem just a mile above downtown Los Gatos. Testarossa is one of the best wineries in the central coast area a visit to the winery is a wonderful experience. It's located just a mile above downtown Los Gatos among tall redwoods. Beyond the Tasting Room they also offer a wine bar 107, it's a wonderful... More

The Testarossa Winery is one of the better Pinot Noir wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountain area. It is easy to get there, plenty of parking, and the special treat is the grounds and entrance through the cave into the tasting room. The winery is on the grounds of the former Novitiate Monastery. A park like setting awaits you with... More

It's a nice spot to get out of the house and visit. But we support the place mostly because it's local, tho with that comes mingling with the Los Gatos locals, which could give a woodpecker a headache. The staff is great, the location is pretty and the outside patio has a nice view. I think the group they do... More

We visited the Testarossa winery with friends on Sunday, November 11, 2012. The drive up to it, a short 2-3 minute drive from downtown Los Gatos is very scenic. There are two options, a formal tasting room and an outdoor win bar called 'Wine Bar 107' that is only open on weekends. We opted for the Wine Bar in lieu... More

nice place for fancy meal with emphasis on local wines. kind of out-of-the way, on the grounds of an operating catholic monastery with legitimate historical significance to the southern reaches of Silicon Valley (AKA the Valley of Heart's Delight).

We did not taste here. We were with someone who knew all about the history. The owners are an asset to the community. I will go back when I have more time to taste.

We entertained a group of customers as part of a business meeting. The Testarossa winery seemed like a perfect location for socialising beyond a regular restaurant dinner. We paid premium price the event hoping that it will be special experience. We had free wine, but they only provided Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. They were good, but being in a winery... More

This winery offers a wonderful tasting experience right in downtown Los Gatos. Entering into the cave-like tasting room is a positive experience unto itself. The wines are outstanding and the staff very friendly. The bonus was finding that there is an outside bar setup (WINE BAR 107) on the patio with live music on Thursday and Friday nites. Tasting is...

Fun place to go wine tasting. take advantage of the summer bar area, where you can enjoy a glass of wine and some great appetizers. We love to get a bottle of Chardonnay and a cheese platter and spend an hour relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.
