Jenny was the even co-ordinator and was very helpful before, during and after our even which was held on a Sunday evening.

I got married here in May of 2019 and it was the most memorable day of my life. The moment we set…read morefoot in this place we knew we had to get married here. The price was right, the coordinator Charlene was so helpful and the place was so beautiful and simple. Things I loved: -Outside patio for outdoor ceremony -bridal room -food was tasty - open bar, we did a his and hers drink -very spacious for 200 people - restrooms were nice and clean - very intimate setting - space did not feel crowded - catering team was friendly and quick to help clear tables Wedding planning is sooooo overwhelming but it felt so nice to have Charlene help us every step of the way. She was very prompt with responding to our questions and we even hired her as our onsite coordinator for our wedding day which was the best decision we could have made. Everything for the most part went smooth and I never felt stressed. I am only giving them 4 stars because I do feel like they can make some improvements with their food tasting. My husband and I were a little disappointed that we had to taste the same food versus each trying something different. We expressed our concerns and they were able to accommodate us with a second tasting since we were not satisfied with our first tasting. Also, we told the catering team that we had a friend that was vegan. They served him a plate with salad and strawberries. In a way that was our fault for not checking in with them with what the actual plate would be. My friend was a good sport about it but I felt so bad because he was really hungry. Lastly, our package included one hour to clean up after the ceremony ended but all my guests were rushed out by security leaving just my parents, myself and a couple of bridesmaids to gather our belongings. If they didnt rush everybody out we could have had more people help with taking down our personal decorations and not felt so rushed and stressed to get out. At this point Charlene was no longer in the building since she was with us since the morning but I do hope that in the future security respects that one hour and does not kick guests out. Overall, beautiful venue, amazing coordinator and great price! Despite the small complaints and hiccups, I would highly recommend this place as a wedding venue.

We decided to stop at a family-owned winery during our road trip after seeing many cars parked…read morealong the highway. We assumed it must be a popular spot and decided to go for some wine tasting. The view of the winery was beautiful, but parking off the highway was limited. Additional parking was available in the gravel areas along the road, but be cautious when parking a low sports car, as there are rough spots with dips and larger rocks. Drive in slowly. Watch out for passing by vehicles, especially after your tasting. When we arrived, the hostesses welcomed us warmly and seated us quickly near the DJ, who was engaging with guests, playing loud tunes from mostly the '80s. Most of the customers appeared to be local families and friends hanging out. The bartender was pleasant and welcoming. Most servers seemed friendly and attentive to tables, but we had to wait 15 minutes for our assigned server, Alex, to take our order. While Alex was pleasant, he spent most of his time prioritizing and working other larger tables, leaving us waiting for long periods between wine pours. We came to the winery to sample some wines, and we were not disappointed with our selection, although we wished Alex would have more knowledge of the wines and take the time to provide us with more history of the winery. We chose to sample their range of whites and reds, and they were all nice except for the Zinfandel and one of the Chardonnays. We ended up purchasing a bottle of dry rosé, which we liked as a nice sipping on a warm day. Looking back, we could have easily served ourselves with one of the bottles purchased while we were there, which would have been a better experience. The menu had a variety of drinks, including whites, reds, mixed drinks, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as a couple of choices of crackers. We observed that many tables brought their own snacks and food, which seems to be permitted at this winery. Overall, we were glad we stopped in to sample some of this winery's offerings. However, if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere without loud music, this may not be the place for you. We found it to be too loud and not the typical winery experience we were accustomed to. Unfortunately, the slow service by Alex made our first visit less enjoyable than we had hoped. Wine and other offerings: 4 stars Hostesses / Bartender hospitality: 4.5 stars Host service by Alex: 3 stars Ambiance: LOUD

We came in…read moreexcited to try somewhere new, do a tasting, and hopefully buy a few bottles to enjoy on the grounds, but the service immediately felt cold and uncomfortable. The staff member behind the bar greeted us with a blank, deadpan stare (otherwise known as a "GenZ Stare") that made the whole interaction feel awkward from the start. When we mentioned it was our first time visiting and that we were excited to be there, there was no warmth, no enthusiasm, and no effort to tell us about the wines or the property. Even the pours seemed careless. I know this is Gilroy and not Napa, but I still expected a welcoming experience and better wine service. Unfortunately, both the service and the wine itself were disappointing. The best part of this place was definitely the beautiful grounds, which would make a gorgeous wedding setting. Maybe this place is better suited as an event venue than a wine tasting destination, but based on my experience, I would not return. The two stars are for the beautiful grounds.

In 2007 they changed the name to Gilroy Gardens I bought passes and tickets ahead online from Gilroy gardens. We had fast passes too. Thank goodness for that. 1 membership. 4 member guest passes. 5 fast lane passes and 2 Cherry Jubilee lanyards. Note if you buy the lanyards the pass is not laminated and it will quickly tear off. So keep the punch card in a safer place. You'll lose it. Punch card gets you 6 special cherry menu items food drink alcoholic drinks and deserts. You can share it with anyone too. Monorail has been broken a long time. The big roller coaster was just broken and. Caden was disappointed he couldn't try it. It was his birthday trip. The kids did the smaller roller coaster 6 times. Note: website does not have a list of NOT operating rides. The boys really liked driving the cars. They have no gas pedal and it steers but it's really fun and they pretend to steer. The old model A like cars have 2 seats so that line moves faster than the corvette and 57 Chevy bel air like 1 seat cars. Using the cherry jubilee your cards was frustrating. They hire high school kids and my adult daughter said it was like the park was staffed with untrained unprepared staffers who were easily overwhelmed . It's unfair to guests and the kids working She literally gave up at one food location after waiting 20 min when the girl couldn't ring up food for others in line and stared off into space while everyone waiting. Most the staff were overwhelmed and this is easy stuff. It's a small menu and you just press a touch screen. It was shocking the staff lack of competence and assuming not enough training . So I never got to try the chicken sandwich or ribs !!! My adult daughter said I wish I recorded the food line and cashier on a Go Pro to send video to Gilroy Gardens for review. Of the difficulties with staff. To help with training needed. And it's really costing them money will people giving up ordering and slow orders. They cannot use the display terminals where you just touch the item and it's ordered and it's a small menu. Our cherry punch card gave us free alcoholic drinks made with cherry juice. We walked over to the bar area and the guy ignored us for 10 min before finally saying I'm not open until 1 pm. He was setting up and we assumed he opened any minute as they didn't say we couldn't use the card got our drinks until 2 hours after park opening. This was the drink area set up by the Chinese Wok eating place. Making us wait for drinks 10 min + and then saying I'm not opening until 1 pm. They also don't tell you on the website nothing on the park takes CASH. Only cards. This comment is about the guests. The trend for parents to get these huge Wagons for 1 or more kid is so annoying. Huge wagons full of enough stuff for a small garage sale. It makes the parks more unnecessarily crowded. They do rent a few types of strollers here. So you need not bring one. Anyway. My last comment is park hours daily 11 to 5 pm doesn't work well they open so late you get there and are hungry. Then with the inadequate trained staff and taking forever to order and get food you waste half the day A 10 am opening would be perfect. 11 is too late. As it was we were only able to get one of our prepaid cherry drinks each due to waiting everywhere and slow service If we go again. We are eating an early lunch outside the park and going in with full stomachs.
