9 Best Wineries near Berkeley

“Not only do they have great wines but they also have great service. Jeff and his family who own and run the place are super sweet. They were really nice and accommodating to our family when we came by. We have been enjoying their wines for a while so it was very nice to enjoy the winery in person.“

“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.“

“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“

“Broc Cellars is a true gem of west Berkeley. They have many wines to choose from and something for everyone. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. It’s really the perfect place to spend an afternoon or evening. Definitely try their buttery hand pies or other small snacks!💗🍷“

“Visiting from Europe, was stunned by the experience at this winery. The grape grower of Purity Wines shared stories, wine, and he was generous with his time (and wine). Will for sure return and will tell my friends that they do events. It’s a hidden gem.“

“Three stars for the experience, one extra star for the courage of château Montelena opening a tasting room in the city. Wish more vineyards would come together and open a larger facility to do the same. The pricing is a bit steep but then you are avoiding that long drive to Calistoga.“

“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.“

“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!“
