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 distinctive events open to the public, usually hosted at the winery but sometimes elsewhere.
Our private events are events that we host just for your group, including wines, food pairings, experiences, and more.

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. The winery is nestled in a cozy neighborhood near downtown San Jose, where it transformed an old warehouse into a beautiful place for wine.
