Winery/ Bus Tour:

On April 15th, the Gilroy Tennis Club sponsored a winery/bus tour to four wineries in our area.  We met at the Gamboa home in Morgan Hill, caught the bus and arrived at our first winery, Cottage Creek, on Watsonville Road.   From there, we went to Solis and Besson wineries on Hecker Pass.  People were able to dance to a band at Solis and enjoy wine cocktails at Besson.  Our last stop was at Lightpost in Morgan Hill.  The bus returned us to the Gamboa home where we relaxed and had a delicious dinner.  After dinner, people sang and danced to music provided by Rich Gamboa and Albert Cabassa. While on the bus, people could win raffle prizes and play trivia games. It was a delightful, fun-filled day.

A very big thank you to the organizers:  Cathy Gamboa, Kathy Cabassa, Rachel Banse and Carol Ferri.  You put in a lot of work and it showed.  Thank you to Rachel for taking all of the photos provided here.

For all of you who missed the event, we are thinking of doing another one in the fall.  Stay tuned.

Hi Everyone,

We had a wonderful time yesterday wine tasting and socializing with everyone.  We began the trip at Cottage Creek, then moved on to Solis Winery where people were able to dance to the band and purchase food from a food truck.  After Solis, we visited Besson Winery--just a short jaunt away where food and specialty cocktail drinks were being served.  We ended our day at Lightpost in Morgan Hill where we gathered in a room to taste some of their wines and had fun posing for pictures outside.

Our busdriver, Ronnie, kept everyone entertained and was one of the hits of the trip.  The organizers for this trip were:  Kathy Cabassa, Cathy Gamboa, Carol Ferri and Rachel Banse.  We played trivia games and had raffles on the bus to keep people busy and laughing.

After Lightpost, we returned to Cathy Gamboa's beautiful home where her husband, Rich, and Al Cabassa had BBQ'd tri-tip, hamburgers and hotdogs with an accessory of side dishes.  After dinner,  the group gathered around and sang songs.  A big thank you to all who worked so hard to put on this very special event.  Everyone had such a good time, that we might do it again at different wineries in the fall.
