About

Guglielmo Winery has been run by the same Italian family since Emilio Guglielmo founded it in 1925, now in its fourth generation of continuous family operation in the Santa Clara Valley. The estate includes 50 acres of vineyards planted to Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, and harder-to-find Italian varietals like Grignolino, Sagrantino, and Carignane. They produce around 40,000 cases annually under three labels: Guglielmo Private Reserve, Tre, and Emile's (their oldest label). The tasting room features stone walls, large wooden beams, and terracotta tile that evoke an old Italian wine cellar. Open Wednesday through Monday, 11 AM to 5 PM, walk-ins are welcomed though reservations are encouraged for more personalized experiences. The property also serves as a wedding and event venue with multiple event spaces and scenic vineyard views. Staff are known for patient service with beginners—one reviewer who described themselves as 'pretty clueless when it comes to wine' said they felt more at home here than at any other winery.

The Oxto Edit

Oxto AI

This is old California wine culture before the tasting room became a lifestyle brand—Italian immigrants who planted Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in Santa Clara Valley a century ago and never left. The family still farms 50 acres in Morgan Hill, still makes 40,000 cases a year, and still pours wines under the 'Emile's' label their grandfather bottled. Walk-ins welcome, stone walls, actual hospitality.
