50 Best Wine Bars near Corte Madera

“No air-conditioning, so we went outside after we ordered and sat on the sidewalk with car exhaust and motorcycles roaring by. They have a good selection of tasty wines and the charcuterie platter presented well with a nice selection of meats and cheeses. Our first server didn't know anything about wine and confessed to only drinking reds so she brought over a second person who knew more.“

“Fantastic bookstore, with amazing inventory, staff and cafe. One of my all time favorites.“

“The exceptional service is enough to put The Patio on my favorite list 😊“

“Amazing. Even one of our waiter was amazing. They forgot my sardines and they gave me mussels. Both were AMAZING. Drinks were amazing AND the staff were amazing as well. I dont usually leave reviews unless it is worth my time. Definitely a place to go“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Everything is Very Good🥰🥰“

“I had the opportunity to share in this experience with my Twin foodie. We started off with the Caviar Quintet and then proceeded to order the ENTIRE small plates menu. It was a culinary journey rooted in love for fresh foods and a passion for food that tastes good. I enjoyed the intimate setting and being able to watch the culinary chef in action as he prepared our dishes. This is a must if you enjoy dining experiences, good food, and good company. The menu changes seasonally so I will be back to experience more unique and flavorful dishes.“

“I stumbled upon Amelie for my birthday last year and have been back so many times and even celebrated my engagement there as well!! Bart, Fredo, and the rest of the staff are so fun & accommodating. Great spritzes, good happy hour, and fun vibes !!“

“Back2Back was an absolute gem. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service hit the sweet spot between attentive and laid-back. The food? Next level. Fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with real care—every bite was full of flavor and intention. You can tell the team loves what they do. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Great wines and cool atmosphere“

“Super cute wine bar just across the street from Cafe Zoetrope. We were there for a calligraphy class but my daughter was feeling ill so we sat outside for a bit. The sommelier was kind and empathetic; he offered us waters and was talking to her to make her feel less embarrassed. While we were waiting, he even helped a lady park her car. So while we didn't have wine or food, the service is top notch and we'll go back!“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“I recently hosted my birthday party here and everyone had a fantastic time! Sabrina and team were super welcoming and ran everything so smoothly. We did a flexible set-up with a minimum charged for wine & charcuterie and then cash bar after that, which is ideal for this type of event. This is a great event space for ~20-40 people, would highly recommend!“

“This is the best wine bar I've ever been to. Live music, incredible food, stellar wine list, amazing atmosphere. I will be bringing dates here for sure.“

“My go-to wine bar with a full menu that’s diverse, delicious (Mediterranean and so fresh), and very fairly priced. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all the wines they offer. In particular, Tim, the head sommelier is a pleasure to talk to and has taught me so much about wine over my many visits. It’s rare to find spots like this where the service, food, and drinks are all aligned in value and quality. One of my staple recommendations to anyone visiting SF (try the filet kabobs and grilled halloumi!)“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“What an amazing and eclectic wine 🍷 list. Wines you won’t find anywhere else. Great food menu too.“

“Awesome and women-owned! Let's bask in the light of this great community of women in the Bay! Love this place!“

“Perfect neighborhood spot to gather and unwind. Wine selection affordable and awesome and the 'little plates' are wonderful (meatballs FTW).“

“Yeah this place rocks. Would totally 100% come back here. Bartender was incredible totally has a cool SF classic north beach bar vibe. Lots of room for everyone and a spectacular outside seating to just have a beer and watch the world go by. Come here for a wholesome local experience or for a fun dive bar vibe.

Had the ham sandwhich holy crap. For a dive bar it was kinda perfect. Bread that was toasted perfectly with a delicious jam. Come here.“

“Stopped in here for a late night drink which turned into 4 glasses of very good wine. The owner was very nice and the other girl working were very helpful in wine selections. Can’t rate the food because I only had drinks but definitely worth a stop in if you’re in the area.“

“We love this place. So much in fact that we got married in this fantastic space. The staff is amazing. I only wish they had better food options. But honestly, if you've never been here, the wines are sensational. We'll be back next December. Thank you all at Jax Vinyards... we are so grateful for you and the service and the incredible wines.“

“My significant other and I were travelling down Hyde St on the cable car and passed this wine bar. As wine lovers, we knew we had to go back! What a treat! There is a great selection of delicious dry European wines. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting. Everyone in the bar including the owner were very friendly and helpful with other great recommendations in the area. I highly recommend visiting if you are a wine enthusiast.“

“We heard so much about this place, we came over from San Francisco specifically to try it out! What a perfect spot to have a taste of some amazing wines and an array of incredible cheeses and crackers. You walk inside and it’s a little shop with a bar counter on the right. You order what you like and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view!! I am so looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Make it a point to stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Internos isn’t just a bar—it’s a place that feels like home. It’s where friends gather, where familiar faces always seem to circle back, and where the atmosphere is as warm as it is welcoming. The heart of it all is Tony. He’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and his genuine warmth makes every visit special. Honestly, I’d come back just to chat with him, but the drinks alone would keep me returning too. The beer list is excellent—great options on tap plus a thoughtful selection of cans—and the wines cover the full spectrum, so there’s something for everyone. It’s our favorite spot, hands down.“

“I recently went to In Good Taste with some friends for a fun Friday evening activity (it's right by the ferry landing), and I can't recommend it enough! Our host, Abby, was absolutely phenomenal. With her infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of wine, she made our tasting journey unforgettable and her recommendations were spot on! Abby's expertise and passion for what she does really sets this place apart.

The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, making it the ideal spot for a fun day out or a special celebration. The décor is tasteful, and the layout encourages conversation and connection, which made it even more enjoyable for our group.“

“My wife and I return each year on the anniversary of our first meeting at California Wine Merchant. Most recently, the owner Greg, took our photo and gave us a complimentary glass of Champagne to mark the occasion. He’s a great guy and his bar is a great place to meet up with friends, or maybe the love of your life.“

“Loved the Bump Bar. Had an early Valentine's Day and Late Anniversary dinner in Feb 11. Enjoyed sitting at the end of the bar. Hosts and chef were friendly and inviting. Enjoyed learning about the Japanese grill used on the trout and steak dishes (which were delicious) never had potatoes prepared like the potato dish we had that night. Really enjoyed the California Caviar Company house flight of Caviar. We will go back again in the future. Thank you for a great night.“

“Wonderful restaurant with terrific food and service. We share the seasonal salad and the stuffed calamari to start. Both were excellent. My wife had a wonderful pasta stuffed with pea puree and in a pea sauce. I had a stuffed pasta with cheese. Both were exceptional. The olive oil cake finished the night. Fine wine list with many affordable offerings. We had a bottle of Arnie's and it was just right. The service is very attentive from the reception to the goodby.“

“We had a lovely trip to Tiburon and started at this wine bar. We both ordered champagne flights, but my only complaint was that the flight didn’t clearly indicate one of the servings would be Cremant. As a restaurant owner who works with plant-based wines, I’m familiar with Cremant—it doesn’t agree with me and always makes me sick. When the host began serving it, I immediately declined and asked for a substitution. She kindly gave me a double pour of the rosé instead, and we both agreed the second brut was our favorite.

The staff were friendly, the vibes were chill, but the space itself is small and felt a bit cold. One host gave us great recommendations for nearby spots, and another pointed us to the best fries in town—Sam’s definitely delivers on that!

Overall, I’d come back here for a glass of wine, especially for a cozy date night.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“The best! Great hospitality; Lalo is a great cook!“

“The downstairs lounge is an amazing space to host private dinners. There is no noise interference from the outside, the bank vault feel gives is a very special atmosphere, and the staff were very efficient and friendly in looking after us. For private events in SF, this is now our go-to option! Oh, and the cocktails were absolutely outstanding - many participants told me that!“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“Beautifully appointed rooms. Charming contemporary and calming.“

“Very good, but not perfect. Maybe the recent Michelin star and the hype skewed some of my expectations, but while some dishes were outstanding, others fell a bit flat.

The beginning of the meal started out stronger, with a simple, but satisfying bread and butter and flavorful first course, for which I received a vegetarian variation to accommodate my finned fish allergy.

The 2nd course with the poached egg was definitely the best part of the whole meal - very rich, but silky and complex with flavor and texture.

The 3rd course pastas were both amazing for the same reasons as the 2nd and a close favorite.

The 4th courses were where things disappoint a bit: Though the lobster 3 ways sounds great, the stew was a little too overpowering in flavor and hiding the lobster's flavor (though there was a decent amount of lobster meat in there). The sauce that accompanied the tail was delicious, but the tail was uneven in doneness, with the narrow part a bit overdone while the thicker part was just right. The tempura claw was perfect and the best part of the main course.
For my husband's main course- the wagyu bavette. It was delicious.

The 5th course - dessert - was also a mix. I found the chocolate pear too one-note and overpowering with pear (expecting other flavors to come out of the chocolate, cake, or almond shortbread). My husband's sundae was much better with all the right flavors and balance coming through.

Overall, this was a great meal, but not perfect.“

“Best pizza spot in the Richmond. Their pizzas are all fantastic (on the crispier/thin side) and their daily specials are always awesome (although a bit expensive for what you get). The melon feta salad was incredible with a mix of feta, melon and a red onion vinaigrette.“

“Excellent Peking Duck but served as only 1 course. Had to wait b20 minutes for our 7:30 reservations. Service was good but not at a professional level. Wine choices are limited but all in all a very good experience and will return when back in the city.“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“My favorite thing here is the linguine with mussels. I never order anything else, so I can't really comment on the rest of the menu. My husband had the burger, which he thought was fine, and the couple behind us had the skirt steak which he wished he'd ordered. Wine and beer list is great.“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“Great atmosphere, impeccable service, friendly & welcoming staff. Most of all, great food. This is our second time and it didn’t disappoint. We’re visiting from SoCal in Orange County. Thank you!“

“Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.“

“We had a wonderful experience at New Delhi Indian Cuisine in San Rafael. We ordered Palak Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, Veg Momo, and Chicken Tikka Masala — and every dish was absolutely delicious. The food arrived relatively quickly, was piping hot, and full of rich, authentic flavors.

Everyone at our table loved the meal, and we especially appreciated the generous portions. The taste truly reminded us of how Indian food is meant to be — just like what you’d get in India.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving flavorful, comforting Indian cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food and wine are fantastic!“

“Good service, delicious food, nice atmosphere, nothing to complain about“

“Wow. Benu takes Asian cuisine to a whole new level. There are flavors from Chinese, Japanese and Korean food that is amazing. I am not a huge fan of quail, but wow. The quail presented was so delicious.

The small bites were perfect to get you in mood the for wonderful bigger plates. The vegetarian substitutions could have been a little more inspired, but still tasty.

I agree with decor. It is very minimalist, which is unexpected for find dining.

The staff were very very attentive. It was great. For the wine pairing though, they would be a little more generous so that the bites fit the drinks.“

“😃🥰nice place for cocktails“

“Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!“
