"We can't thank you enough for the amazing job both you and the winery did in making Shayna and Tim's wedding go off so smoothly considering the adverse weather conditions we were dealing with. Without your calm demeanor and professional expertise, we would never have been able to have the beautiful event that our daughter's wedding turned out to be.
The coordination of each of the changes that needed to be made, the relocation of the guests and vendors and decorations went off smoothly thanks to you and your direction of the event. You kept us calm in a veritable storm. The facility looked beautiful! Please pass our compliments on to the staff on the food, which was fantastic, and their service, which was superb! We have received so many compliments from our guests on how the whole event was handled and coordinated and how gorgeous the facility looked. Our guest with the vegan meal was very impressed and expressed that she had never before had such a robust and delicious meal at a large event." - Susan & Larry - Wedding 2011
"We hosted 75 people for a meeting on August 3rd from breakfast through cocktails and Hors d'oeuvres.The event was a great success. Melissa was truly a star. She went above and beyond in all of her dealings with our team, leading up to the event and all through the day. Always with an easy, friendly manner and a big smile on her face. I wanted to send a special thank you to your executive Chef David Sidoti who took time to meet with us regarding a special menu and spoke to all of our guests about the food he prepared. We had rave reviews back about the lunch. Our theme was excellence and Chef Sidoti nailed it! The venue is such a beautiful space, and we lucked out with a beautiful day." - Sarah, On Board Experiential Marketing - Corporate Event 2011
"This is a review of a corporate team building event at Mountain Winery that my company had last week. I work in the Silicon Valley branch of an international media company, and each year we do a team building weekend with our US employees. I've worked with vendors all over the bay area producing this event for many years, and Mountain Winery is THE BEST vendor we've ever used for this type of event.
Their staff was perfect in every regard from planning through execution, and the price was very reasonable for an absolutely first class experience for our group. We spent an entire day there, starting with a tour lead by Jesse, followed by a wine tasting, a fantastic luncheon on a private terrace, a wine blending and educational "workshop" lead by a sommelier (Sandi from A Sense of Wine), and an awards ceremony.
If there are any corporate event planners out there who happen to read this, don't hesitate to use Mountain Winery for a company event! You can't beat the quality to price ratio, and the level of flexibility and service they offer to ensure that you get exactly the kind of experience you want in a quintessential "California Wine Country" setting right here in the south bay." - Hudson International Media Corporate Event 2011
"Everything was perfect. The guests raved about the food the next day, the location was great, and the staff - from initial sales contact to on-site catering manager - took care of everything for us in the most competent, professional and friendly manner." - Claire, MedImmune Corporate Event 2010
"We continue to be impressed with The Mountain Winery's ongoing improvements, as the facilities and breathtaking views create an unequaled ambiance. It was you and your staff however that made the event so special. We were so impressed with the level of care we received in all aspects of the function. Words such as warm, friendly, attentive, professional, efficient and hardworking to do not adequately describe the attributes we found in your staff and the way we were treated, or should I say, pampered. The skill involved in the brunch preparation was also evident as both the quality and quantity was perfect. You have assembled a cohesive first class team, which most certainly reflects well on The Mountain Winery organization. " - Bob and Doris, Social Event, June 2009
"Microsoft held a dinner at Mountain Winery last Wednesday and it was a big success, due largely to the efforts of the sales manager Jeremy Rydza. What started as a dinner for 100 kept climbing and climbing as we got closer to the event; it's nice to have that kind of success but not when one is trying to nail down the number of dinners a few days in advance! On top of that, we had a last-minute request for a Kosher meal. Jeremy never missed a beat, even when I called on Monday to request 10 more dinners for Wednesday (we wound up with a total of 126 dinners needed) And what a great meal it was! My guests (and I) raved about the high-quality and tastiness of everything, from the salad to the ever-so-tender Tenderloin, and that melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake." – Therese, Microsoft Corporate Event 2009
"Just got home from your Winery. Rodrigo y Gabriela were perfectly wonderful. I had handicapped seating and treatment and the people were super friendly and helpful and accommodating. My applause to you and your staff for such a pleasant experience for me and my friends. Thanks again"- Maria, Concert 2009
"I must admit that even though I have attended several concerts each season at The Mountain Winery, I have never driven up on a weekend day for a simple wine tasting. But, when I noticed the Pups and Pinot note on the calendar I gathered a friend and her dog too and we drove right up! Your staff was a joy in general but, they also had water bowls set out for the dogs and the little dog-treats were an unexpected bonus for our furry friends." - Cathy, Wine Tasting, Summer 2009
"I want to thank The Mountain Winery for the wonderful day we had yesterday. We attended the Pinot and Pooches Wine Tasting Event and had such a great time enjoying the view, tasting the fantastic wines and chatting with all the other dog lovers. The host and staff were super friendly to us and our pooches (lots of treats and water for the dogs!)" - Mary , Wine Tasting, Summer 2009
"My family and I were very impressed with your staff last night. We had a problem with a view obstruction and Lynn responded quickly and professionally. Your handicapped access and shuttle were especially beneficial for my mother" - Patrick, Concert 2009
"I have been to the Winery several times, but last night was the first night I had been since I had foot surgery. I called ahead to learn about your carts and also if I could bring my knee scooter. I cannot say enough about how kind and accommodating everyone on your staff was. I will admit I was anxious about the situation, but it all turned out so easy and fun." - Kathleen, Concert 2009
"It has been some time since I attended a concert at the venue and I was pleased to see all of the wonderful improvements you've made. You have done an absolutely fabulous expansion while keeping all of the character and intimacy of the original architecture and surrounding area." - Bret, Concert 2009
"My cousin and I drove in from the Sacramento area; we were glad to have found the place easily and appreciated the orderly way in which guests were guided into the parking area. Whether asking where the restrooms were located or where to buy a beverage, each representative of Mountain Winery was courteous and helpful. The amphitheater is GORGEOUS, and there didn't seem to be a "bad" seat in the place. After the concert, the parking crew did a great job directing traffic! We had a wonderful time last evening at The Mountain Winery, and will most certainly be visiting again soon!" - Cheryl, Concert 2009
"…we will try to make it up there more often, the little "Winery Treasure in the Hills" that probably gets ignored too often as everyone heads to The Napa Valley when the gold is in their back yard" - Hans, VM Ware Corporate Event 2009
