About
Calerrain sits tucked behind what reviewers describe as 'someone's house' near Gilroy, where Geoff and Chantelle turned their weekly grocery store wine habit into a winery focused on California's diverse growing regions. Geoff studied at Fresno State and worked for major producers before going solo in 2016. The garden tasting area hosts groups at outdoor tables, now with wood-fired pizzas alongside five-wine flights that showcase different appellations across the state. It's casual enough for post-hike drop-ins but driven by a winemaker who knows the technical side cold.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIGeoff traded a corporate career for Fresno State's winemaking program, then spent years at major producers before launching Calerrain in 2016. Pull into what looks like a residential driveway—keep going—and you'll find outdoor tables, a pizza oven, and wines sourced from across California's varied terrain.
