Join us at a winery event.
Our special events celebrate the beauty of artisanal wines and food. We also host lovely private events.
Our special events are ticketed events that we offer most months, usually hosted at the winery but sometimes elsewhere.
Our private events are events that we host just for your group, including wines, hors d'oeuvres, dinners, and more.

Customize an Event
All of the events above can be customized with special extras. Add a team-building exercise, such as a blending session or guided tasting among the barrels. We also offer custom-labeled bottles at no additional charge for the custom labels (just the normal cost of the wine). These are popular to commemorate a special occasion or for gifts. Custom-labeled bottles are available separately from an event as well.
About the Winery
coterie — noun.
A small group with shared interests or tastes.
Since 2007, Coterie has produced wines from tiny parcels within acclaimed vineyards that express the distinction of their place. We make every wine berry to bottle by hand with exceptional care in the vineyard and non-interventional practices at the winery. Our winery is nestled in a cozy neighborhood near downtown San Jose, a short walk from the SAP Center and The Historic Alameda. We're part of a movement of wineries locating back into urban areas to make fine wines within the communities in which we live.
