Lovely and very friendly environment!! Absolutely beautiful and amazing wine!!

It is pretty difficult to find wine better than Westover or Palomares label. The Pitite Syrah is exceptionally good and the Chardonnay Ballet de Vignes grown on the grounds is exceptional.

Casual neighborhood feel, and an excellent selection of wines, cuvees and ports.

The host & atmosphere is Great!!

Favorite local winery, Bill & Ken are the best.

Always enjoy sampling the delicious sparkling wines and flavored ports. Bill and Ken make the experience fun. The winery tasting room is nestled in such a nice setting away from the bustling noice of the city. A great place to relax, sample great wines and enjoy fine conversation with friends.

We stumbled upon this winery on a Saturday afternoon and had an amazing time there with the owner and a few other patrons. We were served a number of tastes on top of the already generous tasting array and ended up buying a few bottles of great wine. We highly recommend stopping in and will definitely be back!

Charming tasting room and outdoor areas, plus a great selection of their own ports (so many) and wines.

Love this little place great selection of port wines well as all other wines . owner is amazing and often gives awesome deals on cases of wine,super friendly and inviting place to visit

I went to the vinery to bring some good bottles back to Canada. I’m glad I stopped because the tasting room helped me make a better choice. The owner experiments on some of the Porto (Tawny) and it’s really great! The wines are superb. I recommend this vinery all the way!

Im from out of town and stopped by when they were closed. But Bill the owner spotted me and waved me in. I had a great experience talking with Bill and Ken, the winemaker. If you like port wine this is the place! The wine list is huge! I ended up buying a half-case. Their 2012 Zinfandel is highly recommended.

We had a lovely time here! We tried wines and did the additional port tasting and had an excelent time! We liked all that we tried, and had lots of good conversation with Ken, who served us, and the other people visiting.

This small but intimate winery is a favorite. Head on up for a very personalized tasting experience! Buy some wine, shoot a game of pool, have a picnic. It is a beautiful setting and the people there are very friendly and will make you feel like you can come and hang out there. Im a long time (20 year) customer of theirs and I highly recommend their wines, their setting, and the experience in general. They have the largest selection of ports I have ever seen! They are a great place to hold your next private party or family event such as a wedding. Check them out - they will not disappoint!

Small owner operated winery that has an amazingly large selection of ports. The hours are a bit irregular - usually the second weekend every month, but its worth taking some time to fit it into your schedule.The drive along Palomares is beautiful, but windy. Be sure to drive safely.

Fantastic time here!A great place to learn about ports, and a fantastic and wide selection of wines. Plus the owners are great hosts and make sure everyone has a great time. Looking forward to visiting in the spring too as this place sits right in a nature escape!

The entrance to Palomares Road said the road was closed, but the Westover Winery website said to go around the barrier because the closure was further up. I am so happy we did! I was not a port drinker because I had not had decent port until then. Too sweet, too cloying, too I dont know. After many tastings of their port and a little sample of something out of the barrel, I am a port drinker - a Westover port drinker! We had a wonderful time hanging out with the owner and the wine maker, listening to their funny stories about how it all came together, and sampling loads of very good wines. The decor made me feel like we were in some old-country Italian living/kitchen/rec room - nothing fancy, but cozy and it feels like the farm/vineyard is right there. The bottle price points are just right for a private winery - good enough to make these wines drinkable any time we want something a little bit special (nearly every weekend, Id say). So go, visit, and see what its like to get nice, personalized service from a small winery.

Great place, great port, great wine. The owners, Bill and his wife, and Randy are wonderful hosts and offer generous pours while pouring on a good time. They make you feel like you are in your own living room drinking great wine with friends. Whats better than great wine with great friends!

Very friendly! They were closed but opened up just so I could taste. The owner had an enjoyable conversation with me while we enjoyed wines. I would recommend it to other people!

Thank you Jose for the wonderful service. A great stop on our vacation from Ohio...naturally we had our favorites (The moscat , raspberry port, and 10 year bourbon barrel aged Tawny ) Do yourself the favor and be ready to buy a couple bottles after your tasting (youre going to ;)

Me and my girlfriend ended up stumbling upon this winery randomly one day while driving through Castro Valley, walking in for a random visit not really knowing what to expect. Even they though they were closed for tastings that day they gladly led us into the tasting room where Ken (who has a Santa Claus-esque figure to him) proceeded to host the bar with his jolly enthusiastic love for wine and knowledge to match. I did not feel looked down upon for my lack of knowledge but more encouraged to try new wines and learn how, when and where these styles were made. Overall i feel like they stood true to the happy go lucky attitude and the reason they made their wine.Simply because they love doing it.

I happened to be at Ladies night at Dale Hardware in Fremont a couple of weeks ago and Westover Winery had a booth there. It was so much fun I decided to ride out to their winery and check it out. I was the only customer at the time and was going to purchase a bottle of Port for Thanksgiving dinner and make a quick getaway. I ended up spending over an hour talking to Ken the winemaker about how Port is made to everything under the stars.Several times I said I should be going to let him get back to work but he said not to worry and he was enjoying himself too. I also got to meet the owner who was very nice. I learned a lot about Port. had a great time, So much so I will be back with my wife and friends. Added bonus, Ken also told me they have free concerts there!

Nice find, off the beaten path. If youre looking for a port wine (tawny, and others), this is a worthwhile stop. Large selection of white, red, and tawny ports.

Had too much fun. The owner was a great host. Felt like we were visiting family. They kept pouring and everything was amazing. Stopped by while driving through canyon. Got lucky that they were open. Planned on 20-30 minutes, ended up spending the day.

Great wine, friendly staff...lots of FUN!

Great place to visist, also one of the few with Porto wine in the area if is not the onlyone,

Love it!!
