About
L&M Vineyard operates on a weekend schedule from their Sunlit Oaks Court property in Gilroy, open first and third Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5pm, with extended summer sunset hours. The family-owned operation focuses on Bordeaux varieties and Syrah, with their Reserve Cabernet Franc earning specific mentions alongside a 2021 Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Owner Larry pours in a relaxed outdoor setting where dogs on leash and children are welcome, often with live acoustic music. The $15 tasting fee disappears with a two-bottle purchase. Located three miles from the Gilroy Premium Outlets, the winery attracts visiting families and locals who appreciate the bring-your-own-snacks approach and the lack of pretense.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIA family-run vineyard on the former Sunlit Oaks property, a few miles from the Gilroy outlets. Weekend sessions come with live acoustic music and valley views, and the Reserve Cabernet Franc is the bottle to ask about. The Syrah gets plenty of love in reviews too.
