My go to spot for happy hour in downtown Danville!…read more When with my friend for happy hour while both of our kids were volunteering at a school close by. We decided to stop in to enjoy a drink and eat a bit, awaiting their call. They have a good drink selection overall and good options on their happy hour menu. I enjoyed some Rose and a French 75 that was a bit different than the usual, the color of the drink was purple. It was strong and tasty, which is the best drink combo isn't it?!? I also like their happy hour food options; my friend and I shared a margarita flatbread, brussel sprouts and the chicken tacos which was the only one that I could do without, honestly. Great place to chill and to catch up with a friend over drinks and to enjoy some food. Service was good, our server who also a gentleman that was also working at the bar was frowns personable and friendly. Provided us with some good recommendations and made us the pretty French 75.

Bonjour, hi! We…read morecame by during a cutesy Sunday for a casual drink during HAPPY HOUR. Overall, one word: disappointed. Disappointedly, the vibe was quite boring honestly. Hoped for some nice music or maybe a cute fire place, but instead it was mostly quiet with pretty uncomfortable chairs. Service was disappointing. The server was 18 years old with no wine experience to share about the wines that they served. Lastly, and most sadly, the cocktail selection lacked creativity, only really having the staples (manhattan, margarita - not even flavored I might add, paper plane, etc), with no real vision for creativity by the consumer. I was also pretty disappointed with their white wine selection. Seems that they have a rotating wine menu with a very limited variety. When I went, there were only chardonnays, a sauvignon blanc, a Prosecco, and a rosé. Variety was really lacking for a wine bar. Two stars given the caliber of businesses that exist is Danville, in comparison to the product this venue delivered.

The…read moreatmosphere is quaint, relaxed, and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, and -- yes, it's dog‑friendly too. It isn't flashy or crowded. It's serene, grounding, and quietly stunning--a place that invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and savor both the wine and the moment. From the moment you arrive, the owners will make you feel like old friends. Their passion for what they do truly shines through, and the service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed. You can tell this is a labor of love, not just a business. The wines are fantastic--with something for everyone. I love the chardonnays and my bf loves their wine slushies. Very refreshing on a hot day. Another plus is you can bring your own food as long as there is not an event taking place where they serve food. Be sure to check their website calendar before you arrive. If you're looking for a one of a kind place in Castro Valley, that is beautiful, relaxing, family‑run, and genuinely special, this is it. It's the kind of winery you want to bring all your friends, and recommend without hesitation. Highly recommend.

I loved the entry way like and old italian villa with palm trees. Service was nice and the staff attentive but not bothersome. We did a tasting and then I bought a bottle for my cousin and I to share and for one to take home which we eventually shared too lol! The seating area is comfy and has views of the winery and where they make the wine. Totally cool out door seating that was full but not so close that you feel tight. The wine was nice and my cousin gets to pick as she knows more about me in regards to wine and I trust her choices. She is like my sister so I trust her. We both liked what we got and what we got to taste. Overall we both Liked Rubino and we would go again. Highly recommend visit if you like a nice intimate place, beautiful sights and awesome wine.

I can't finish this review without mentioning the delicious charcuterie board that Bob prepared for us. Yum! Definitely will return for the holidays and bring the family.

The property is magical and my husband and I feel so fortunate that we were able to have our ceremony and reception there. Not only is the venue beautiful, Barbara and Dave Bhachu are the most gracious and generous owners/hosts you could ever work with. They went above and beyond in responding to questions, offering suggestions and directing and assisting on the day of the event. This is a place I selfishly want to keep secret but I also want to provide the most glowing recommendation because it was the perfect setting for our special day. Also- their wines are excellent and will be booking another private tasting in the near future.

I end up seeing your name as importer on damn near 40 percent of what I drink.

Shortly after arriving, I noticed a water bottle refill station inside the museum and refilled my water bottle there. While quietly viewing an exhibit with my family, we were suddenly approached in a very loud and confrontational manner by a female staff member who stated, "Ma'am, ma'am! There is no food or drink allowed in the museum. You either need to leave or throw your water bottle away." I was surprised by both the tone and the interaction, especially considering the museum itself provided the refill station inside the building. I explained that I had filled the bottle there, but was told that people are apparently expected to "refill their bottles and then leave the museum to drink from them," which honestly made very little sense. Because I am pregnant, I asked if I could simply keep the bottle closed while inside, rather than repeatedly separating from my family whenever I became thirsty. She reluctantly agreed, but after that interaction, staff members continuously followed my family throughout the museum for the remainder of our visit, seemingly monitoring whether I drank water. What should have been an enjoyable family outing became extremely uncomfortable and unenjoyable. Being closely followed from exhibit to exhibit over a closed water bottle felt excessive and unnecessary, especially under the circumstances. Unfortunately, the experience left my family and I not wanting to return. I truly hope future guests are treated with more kindness, professionalism, common sense, and dignity.
