About
Bella Montagna sits on a hillside overlooking the Santa Clara Valley, a family-run operation making small-production Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rosé that's earned mentions in Wine Enthusiast. The terrace views deliver, but maintenance is spotty and the operation feels barebones—outdoor seating only, BYOF policy, service that varies from attentive to absent. Pours run notoriously small even at $20-30 per tasting. This is cult wine territory without the polish, a gamble that pays off if you're willing to overlook rough edges for hillside fruit and valley panoramas.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AISmall-lot Cabernet producer on the old Mirassou property above east San Jose, with Wine Enthusiast recognition and most bottles sold winery-direct. The draw is the view over the valley and a low-key, bring-your-own-snacks setup. Book ahead, since tastings are by appointment.
