About
Solis operates from the Vanni Estate Vineyard in Gilroy's Hecker Pass area, continuing a winemaking tradition that stretches back more than a century on this property. The tasting room opens daily from noon to 5pm, anchored by a back porch with views across estate vineyards to the Gabilan Mountains. On weekends, live music pulls regulars who settle in with bottles and stay for hours—the scene includes dogs under tables, food trucks doing wood-fired pizza, and wine club members picking up quarterly allocations. The property sits along the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail with 30+ neighboring wineries. While the estate grows and bottles everything on-site, they keep families with children away from the main music area, directing them instead to picnic tables facing the parking lot.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AISolis sits on the Vanni estate vineyard, and the porch looks straight out over the vines to the Gabilans. It is a weekend hangout: bring your dog, buy a bottle and grab pizza from the food truck. Families with kids have a separate picnic area set back from the music stage.
