Carruth Cellars Tasting Room

What a perfect tasting experience! Brance is a gem! He really knows his stuff and was incredibly hospitable. Lovely experience start to finish…beautiful wines! Great customer service, and cool vibe!

Came here w my wife and cousin on a Sunday. Didn't really know what to expect as we live in Spain and are just visiting.

Brance was the gentleman that helped us. Later learned he is the manager. Incredibly friendly, light-hearted, and thoughtful about his choices for our tasting. He was fun, informed, and we really enjoyed his company.

We loved several of the wines and walked out w three different bottles.

Highly recommend this place for a casual friendly visit, paired with superb wine. I can't vouch for your experience if Brance is not helping you, but youre likely ok.

Fantastic !
Brance is amazing ! Wine is awesome !
Will definitely be back again and again and again !

We’ve been loyal members of Carruth Wine Cellars since they first opened in 2016. We’ve always loved supporting a local winery and stuck with them through the challenges of COVID, continuing to pay our membership even when things were uncertain. We even kept our membership when they reduced the wine benefit from two glasses a day to just two glasses a week — a big change that we accepted because we wanted to continue supporting them.

Unfortunately, we’re now canceling our membership due to the recent 30% price increase. What’s most frustrating is that we were never properly notified of this change. They sent the notice to an old email address on file that is no longer active — it likely bounced back. Meanwhile, they failed to send it to the primary email we use and receive all other winery communications through. A change this significant should have been clearly and thoughtfully communicated to loyal members.

We understand that costs go up, but this felt abrupt and poorly handled. We’ll miss the wine and the atmosphere, but this change just doesn’t reflect the value or customer care we used to feel as part of the Carruth community.

What a rare and gem find, we love this place and go twice a week. Everyone is super friendly, wines are delicious and you can’t beat the membership deal. Looking forward to the new kitchen and space. Special shout out to Brance & Sasha, thanks for getting us hooked!

We just love coming here every week. The staff is amazing and always in for a chat. Having the membership is a good deal! Wines are delicious.

This is my second time visiting this bar, both times while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant for dinner. If you happen to pass by, feel free to come in. It’s not too crowded, so you can enjoy your drink in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

We love the wine, the ambience and the people serving. Thank you Sasha and the rest of the Carlsbad staff!

Lovely staff and fantastic selection

$5 wine at a $20 price.

Wine is great and staff always friendly and helpful.

Excellent wine bar. They know how to serve excellent wine at just the right temperature.

Great atmosphere and really great dry reds

Cute little urban winery near the Village. Great wines - rosé is not sweet, but still has a hint of strawberry.

Nice atmosphere....good wine selection
