My Grandfather, Angelo Minoletti, like thousands of immigrants, came to America to make a better life for his family. He settled in San Francisco's North Beach and made wine for the family with my father, Attilio Minoletti. The making of wine was their simple pleasure, blending the old with the new.

Went to Barterra winery with my friends for my birthday. David was the best. He gave us our own space and checked in when needed. David was so pleasant and made our experience outstanding.

Great selection of well made California wines under its label and direction in close coordination with at least two of California's well deserving wine makers. Barterra's available French Colombard and Vermentino selections attracted me to visit for tasting. Results exceeded expectation. Purchased 3+3. Chris Minoletti Is knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating, and most importantly hospitable. Supported by lovely counter staff, great place to enjoy a glass or two, flights and for the best prize, take away a few bottles to pair at home.

Lovely place, friendly warm owners, beautiful patio, they allow dogs and the wines are good. We did the carneros flight and enjoyed the merlot the best. The owners were really nice and friendly went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcome. Would love to come back.

We stopped in here during a quick stop in Half Moon Bay following the signs that said "wine tasting." This spot was so so cute. The people working at the round bar (I believe they were the owners) were the nicest people and were so helpful with all of our questions.

We opted to sip our tasting in the outdoor courtyard area which was perfectly shaded on a warm day. We just had to pop in to the tasting room to get our next taste which was only step away. The wine was tasty and we enjoyed picking out what bottle we wanted to take home.

Though they were busy, they were still attentive

Stumbled across this cute place in our neighborhood! Great wine, great conversation fun environment. This little place is a hidden gem with a great outdoor patio to sit and sip! The owner Chris and his coworker keelie were very nice & made us feel welcome even with our little one running around on patio outside! We will be back!

This is a great little tasting room in downtown HMB. The wines are great incredible. We tried 7 different wines and they were all great. We ended up buying 2 bottles because they were so good. This is definitely a stop if you are in the area.

Wonderful find! They were closed the day we came in but still let us taste wine. Wonderful owners! Try the Barts red and Elegancia desert wine, you won't be disappointed. Great prices and value!

I enjoyed my trip to Barterra, I really did, but it also could have been better.

We stopped by late on a weekend for some Half Moon Bay wine tasting. A tasting of 3 wines is $15.

We ended up tasting 6 wines from their menu of whites, reds, and dessert wines-- the Elegancia (dessert wine) was good and we ended up taking home a bottle of the 2015 Sangiovese Reserve, but we weren't super wow-ed by any of the other wines.

There was a lovely little older woman who was helping us and another pair with their tastings and while she was kind, she also wasn't the most attentive. She would ask

Mr. and Mrs Bart and Mary Colucci we had a fantastic time, you have super fantastic wines , thank you for you passion and your time guiding us through our wine tasting. Barterra winery was our sudden stop and it was worth every penny. Barterra offers two different wine tasting, either one will be a winner. I strongly recommend it.
Thank you.

This place is adorable! The two ladies who run it are bonafide locals and give great recommendations! The patio is dog friendly so I sat out with our pup and my husband went in to get our flight. The Pinot Noir was amazing, so much so we got a bottle on our way out! The patio is beautiful, I could've sat out there for hours! We will definitely be back here when we are in the area!

Meh. I've had better.

This quaint wine shop in downtown HMB has around a dozen options to taste from, however none really caught my fancy. However, to be frank, I have become rather spoiled by the Santa Cruz Mountains, Napa, and Sonoma varieties.

It was a nice experience, but we won't return.

On a trip over to Half Moon Bay this weekend we ended up dropping into Barterra Winery.

Though the small staff was friendly, I did not like two of the three wines I tried of the wine flight, which was very unusual for me. After ordering a sparkling and being given a Brut, having expected a Roux, it seemed to be mostly downhill from there.

Three pours for $15 was already on the steep side (apparently it used to be four?), but the Moscato was bland, and while the final red was enjoyable I would have much rather purchased a glass of Prosecco retail for $12 at a bar and enjoyed that since I&apos
