    The Chardonnay is proper. French style and not overwhelming. Well-balanced wine. Visit been bills and the blinds are impressive. Tom, the hospitality coordinator, was one of the best hosts I've had

    Awesome view of the valley, great tasting experience, loved the history of the peace. Nothing better than sipping wine with zero traffic noise.

    Home to the Santa Cruz Mountains' finest Zinfandels and Cabernet Sauvginons. And the view might be the best in all of the South Bay.

    Sample some of the best wines in the world (no joke! I’ve been drinking 1st-growth Bordeaux for > 50 years), enjoy the view, and say thanks to the marvelously savvy and helpful staff.

    The drive up is very twisty, but the view from the top is worth it. If you absolutely need cellular coverage, beware as it is very spotty towards the top.

    Great wines and knowledgeable staff. The most amazing views of the bay can be seen from here.

    It's quite a drive to get to the top (weak stomachs needs not apply), however the views are sweeping and wines are tasty. Be warned though that when they say they close at 5PM, they really do mean it.

    Been here 5+ times
    Drive carefully. Narrow mountain road and many bicycle riders are there. In cold winter day, road may be icy. Montebello collector membership gives you a good discount on wine and tasting.

    Awesome wines. Tasting program at Winery is pretty good, but not awesome for the price.

    The wines are typically not that great. In general it's an over-rated vineyard. The Montebello however is worth every penny of it's out-there price.

    Be prepared to drive waaaaay further than you think. But worth the trip.
