Solid wine! Much better than Dashe next door; if you're torn between the two, come here.vThe Barbera and Cab Franc were fantastic.

I've been a wine club member for... maybe 5-6 years? Longer? I keep coming back because they offer a very good wine for their price point and I'm a wine snob on a budget! My mom loves their barbera and tasted their wine at some wine and food club in Washington. When she found out that they were in the east bay, she told me to visit. I always try to bring her home a couple bottles every time I visit!

There was a great band and the person that took care of us was perfect. Sadly, the owner or manager lady was horrible. She only cared about the elderly white people that were already members. At one point we overheard her make a comment that it was unfortunate we were still there- "table __ is still there unfortunately".. we spent over $200 and were talking about becoming members until she said that. The wine is ok, but definitely nothing amazing, and not at all worth supporting someone like that.

I REALLY enjoyed Urban Legend, it offers wine tasting, crafted on sight. During harvest you might see trucks pulling up with bins of grapes that immediately start getting processed by the owners Steve, Marilee, and their knowledge staff. If the weather is nice you can sit outside and look at the spectacular skyline of San Francisco and the Bay (photos below). We had Stella as our hostess. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. She listened to your feedback on the wine, and we had great discussions about it. I can’t wait to come back next year! ??

Headed to Urban Legend Cellars this Sunday to enjoy the lobster truck and wine. We arrived early 11:30 to an empty restaurant. When we asked for a menu we were informed we needed to check in inside. We were told they would try to find room for us. When we went inside (also empty) and requested a table we were told to wait, they were busy and they would try to find room for us. We were subsequently handed off to two other employees, all the the explanation, they are mostly here for the food truck. I felt so uncomfortable that we changed our order to a to go order. I’m not sure why I wasn’t allowed to be served, but with this type of service I doubt Urban Legend Cellars will continue to be successful. 10/10 do not recommend.

The November 2022 Members Pickout Party was a great opportunity to taste the new offerings and stock up for the festive season.
Fantastic experience at the tasting room with Cia & TC! I love coming here with my mom. We are always welcomed with a positive environment. They were busy, but made an effort to give us a great tasting experience sitting away from the tasting counter. I highly recommend Urban Legend over other tasting rooms due to the personal touch & the best wine on the island.Update: Having a fantastic wine tasting with delicious snacks

Every time I visit Urban Legend Cellars, it is just a wonderful experience. The service is always on point (Jean and Marilee are awesome!). The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. They won't ever let you have an empty glass ;) Not only does this place have such tasty wines at an affordable price point (The leggera and the vermentino are my personal faves) the location of Urban Legend is in a cool location. It's a little secluded - tucked away in Alameda by the naval base and Bay Trail. It's the perfect place to visit after skating or biking in the area. It's right on the water overlooking the San Francisco skyline.If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate something special and have a large party, I highly recommend Urban Legend. Marilee is pleasant to work with and was extremely helpful in planning a surprise going away party. She was super responsive and answered all my questions up until the day before. We had a large party of ~20 and she was able to accommodate us just perfectly! While they do not have a full kitchen (nuts, olives, and crackers available) there are food trucks there every weekend so you and your guests will not go hungry. Our party was so impressed by the venue and service. They all mentioned they will be returning. Thank you Marilee and team for an amazing experience for our guests!

Perfect place for enjoying great wines, views, and weather. They have the perfect set up for social distancing, so you'll feel safe hanging out with family and friends.
