12 Best Wineries near Berkeley

“We have visited a number of great wineries in Napa, and Israel, but if you would like to experience the best explanation of the process by some of the warmest and most welcoming wine makers then check out Covenant Wines! We spent a beautiful afternoon with their team led by Managing Director, Sagie Kleinlerer, who is most knowledgeable. I was especially interested in the challenges posed by climate change. We also met the owners who were also very welcoming. If you are interested in how the best wines are made and want to spend an enjoyable and very informative afternoon then you should definitely visit and taste some of the best wines produced today!!“

“We wandered into Lusu on a walk over to REI, and were happily surprised with our visit.The tasting consisted of 5 wines made on site, mostly from grapes in the El Dorado area, and was $10. The hostess was knowledgeable and engaging (the owner apparently out of town this weekend), and the wines were of a decent variety, and obviously carefully selected.I appreciated that at least a few of them were dry-farmed, and had some really enjoyable complexity and depth. We walked away with several bottles.The winery apparently shares the space with a second winery, who we didn't have a chance to taste — we are planning on going back though.“

“Lovely urban winery with indoor and outdoor seating. Natural wines and snacks (cheese, hummus, nuts, crackers, etc.) in a dog-friendly environment. Cheerful, knowledgeable staff make the experience! Wine Club available. Looking forward to returning.“

“The atmosphere was absolutely relaxing with an inviting appeal. The wines were unique and very smooth. For those who think they do not like wine, I challenge you to try these wines“

“The best wine tasting ever forgot the name of the guy there, but we had the best wine private tasting ever, if we had more time here in San Francisco we would definitely go there again, the wines is exceptional so sad it is too expensive to send the wines to Australia“

“Delicious! I recommend to any wine worthy connoisseur!“

“We had a fantastic day, tasting wines and strolling through the beautiful gardens of Bhachu Vineyards! Came home with some special goodies too....hahaha Many thanks to Barbara, Dave, & family. Your party was a smash, and your kindness is felt deeply.“

“Fun location right on the bay.“

“Fun place to come hang out with friends and pets when they have an event. I was so happy to find Noel and Purity wines, it's hard to find juicy fun natural wines around the Bay. The wines here are different from most wines. More akin to sour beer or dry cider. Everyone working here is kind and a little eccentric which is a great thing.“

“🧡🧡🧡 Recommend for everyone .“

“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!“

“They have salsa dance lessons on Sundays from 3pm to 4pm. It costs $10 to enter but after the lesson it costs $20 enter and then they still have a live band playing salsa music for a few hours. It is really fun. Also, they serve alcohol inside and they have seating both indoors and outdoors. I got a sangria for $8 and it was in a little 9oz cup and it had a piece of fruit in it and it was really good. I paid with cash but I think they had a Square thing for paying with card
Yesterday, they had a food truck outside (@yosoyceviche), but I don't know if they do that every Sunday.“
