50 Best Wine Bars near Corte Madera

“Food is only 4 stars because they don't have a full kitchen, but the bites they serve are perfect. I recommend the prosciutto wrapped dates.

The owners are warm, inviting, and knowledgeable about their inventory. Will visit again for sure.

Thanks Patsy!“

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

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Worth the drive across the city from the Mission to eat here. It was a little cool outside so we were glad to find there was a table for 4 inside.

Our group of four shared 2 starters, 3 pizzas and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious. Favorites--marinated tomato starter, spicy San Marzano pizza, and Panna Cotta with fig“

“Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable evening with a few dishes that really stood out.

We started with a variety of starters, bread, salad, and radishes, and I thought these were quite good. The bread was fresh, the salad was nicely put together, and the radishes were surprisingly one of the highlights for me. Everything felt fresh and well prepared.

The seafood/fish soup, unfortunately, was probably the weakest part of the meal. The smell was quite strong and lingered a bit too much for my liking, and it made the dish difficult to enjoy. Definitely not something I would personally order again.

The main course was much better. The chicken was nicely prepared, and the accompanying vegetables and pasta were flavorful and well balanced. Nothing overly complicated, but everything came together nicely.

And then came dessert — the bread pudding with vanilla was easily the star of the night! It was warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious. After a mixed experience with the soup, that dessert definitely ended the meal on a high note. 😋

Overall, Verjus was a good choice for a corporate dinner. The atmosphere worked well for a group setting, and while there were a couple of hits and misses with the food, there were enough good dishes to make it an enjoyable evening. And if you have a sweet tooth, definitely save room for that bread pudding!“

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

“Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The pasta is very good as you might expect but I think to be completely full, a couple should order a pasta per person and an entree to split. The citrus cake was amazing and the Gnochetti’s texture was also amazing. The tiramisu also looked incredibly good but unfortunately they sold out, so I’d definitely recommend the desserts as well.“

“I had a great time at El Lopo! The food is fantastic, and the owner and bartenders are very welcoming! If you don’t know anything about sherry (like I didn’t) they will be happy to recommend something! Tuesday nights are “Sherry-aoke” night, so if you sing a song you can get $5 sherries! Seems like a great community spot, and if I lived here I would definitely be back all the time.“

“Everything is Very Good🥰🥰“

“We came here to have dinner for a birthday. From the wines to the food, everything was awesome. The plates were solid and they made very flavorful food. We enjoyed our time here. I recommend having a reservation as the place was pretty full. Luckily we made one weeks prior. We will come back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just a warning, this is the last place in SF that doesn’t yet accept Tap-to-Pay/Mobile Payments. Also, their ‘suggested tip’ amounts on the receipts included Tax in the total. The place is nice enough & their cocktail and wine is good, but the dealings feel a little sketchy.“

“Choosing the chef’s counter at 7 Adams for my best friend’s birthday turned out to be the best decision, and it easily rivaled—if not surpassed—many two-star Michelin spots I’ve experienced.

From the start, the hospitality was exceptional; Restaurant manager Danny thoughtfully reached out beforehand to check on dietary restrictions. That attentiveness set the tone for the evening, where we were warmly welcomed the moment we stepped in.

Every course showcased remarkable palate precision, featuring innovative, unexpected flavor profiles that kept us captivated. To top it off, the portions were refreshingly generous—so much so that we couldn't quite finish dessert, though Paul kindly boxed it up for us with care.

An incredible meal from start to finish. I am already excited to return!

Ty Chef David, Paul, and Danny.

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

“A true hidden gem in San Francisco — the kind of place you feel privileged to have discovered. 🍷
The moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels like an intimate hideaway — refined, understated and entirely focused on the wine experience.
| An impressive and well-curated selection of wines to suit every palate
| The private room provided was exceptional — a beautifully appointed space that elevated the entire experience
| Even the bathroom was notably well-designed — a small detail that speaks to the overall attention to quality throughout
| The ambience strikes a perfect balance between exclusivity and warmth
The kind of establishment that rewards those who seek it out. For wine enthusiasts looking for something beyond the ordinary in San Francisco, the Wine Society is an exceptional find.“

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

“Ora is so cute! I loved the vibes inside for the event. Sabrina our bartender was so sweet and attentive. She did such an amazing job making us feel welcome and cared for. the window nooks at the front were adorable and it was nice they had some chairs outside to enjoy the fresh air.“

“OK, so in theory, I could be a little bit biased, because I live around the corner and this is a very convenient place to get a very good glass of wine and a very, very good small plate of food. I say small plate because that’s generally what I have. And they have some of the best in San Francisco! I am regularly somehow shocked at how good the wine curation is and also how good the food is! I don’t think there’s anywhere else on Union Street or on Chestnut Street and possibly even on Fillmore Street that has anywhere near that combination. Go there now! Also, I t’s a great place to chill and enjoy the ambience and the music, very well done. Tim has done an amazing job, and Joe and the rest of the crew are also fantastic.“

“Mog Asu Wine Bar in Tiburon is an absolute gem and a true 5-star experience. The wine selection is incredible, thoughtfully curated from around the world, with something for every palate. The service is exceptional, and the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful people you’ll meet. Their knowledge and passion for wine really elevate the entire experience.

The space itself is everything you could hope for: beautiful, inviting, and perfectly designed for a relaxed yet refined evening. This is exactly what Marin needed. I can’t recommend it enough!“

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

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

“We had a superb dinner at Rose's Cafe last night. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious, and the whole staff was extraordinary. Everyone, especially our server, Layla, made us feel welcome, comfortable and unrushed even though we arrived only twenty minutes before the kitchen closed (not on purpose, we were delayed arriving into SF). This lovely neighborhood eatery will be our go-to restaurant from now on while visiting our kids in SF. I enthusiastically recommend it !!“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“My partner and I stopped in while visiting for the weekend and had a wonderful time. The space is charming, with two floors, outdoor seating, and a cozy atmosphere that reminded us of a wine bar you’d find in Portugal.

The wine list had a great range of prices, and we enjoyed both the whites and reds we tried. The tinned anchovies and the jamón and soppressata were also delicious and reasonably priced. The bartenders were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. We’d absolutely come back the next time we’re in town.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the city and the best Peking Duck I've ever had... every, anywhere. The host is amazing and all the servers are cool and super nice. If you can, seat near the chef that's cutting up the duck, watching him work is awesome.“

“Great service great food Thanks“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent service! 100% Recommended🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“How many restaurants in the Bay Area have an average rating of five on Google? This is the most understated and absolutely best restaurant in Marin. Why? What matters to me is the combination of unique and innovative food, service, and atmosphere. You can get one or two of these many aces, it's hard to find all three. Add to that that you get to sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare all your meals. And that there's only room for ten people every night. Chef Lance and Yo explain everything and the time just flies when there. We made the mistake of not ordering the caviar sampler. But when I saw how it was served to another guest, I knew I had to have it next time. You will not be disappointed.“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“Phenomenal customer service, sustainable and they have the most delicious caviar and roe offerings. Highly recommend! They will be our go-to for all our special occasions!“

“My wife and I had such a wonderful time at the JAX Vineyards Tasting Room weekend event! From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing, and the whole experience was incredibly enjoyable.

One of our favorite parts was getting to meet and talk with people who were there to enjoy the wine tasting. It was great sharing the experience, enjoying some great wine, and connecting with fellow wine lovers. The staff made everyone feel comfortable and welcome, which really added to the experience.

We had a fantastic time and truly enjoyed every minute of our visit. We’re already looking forward to coming back to JAX Vineyards for another great experience. Highly recommended!“

“Love, love, love this! It's perfect for getting to experience as many different wines as possible and being able to compare them in whatever flight you'd like to create - the one ounce pour option is so awesome, and thank you also to our very kind and patient host - we tried so many wines!“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“Great wines and cool atmosphere“

“One of the best dining experiences I have had in quite some time. Server was super nice, they were on it the entire time. Food came to us quickly and was arguably one of the best pizzas ive had in SF which says alot. We got the Nduja pizza, the veggie plate, the corn pasta was unreal good, killer gamay wine, best brussles ive had in my entire life. Cheesecake blew us away. Im telling you- this is one of the best gems SF has to offer.“

“A popular spot for a reason!! The vibe is very fun. Sometimes you can get dancing on tables on weekends - it depends. Seats fill up fast.
One note: they could make the outdoor area more lively so more people are inclined to sit there. Right now there are some great seating options but the vibe pales to inside.
Maybe add some lights? Low volume music? Water station?

Servers / bar tenders are all super nice“

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

“The Press Club delivered supreme service as always. My star rating was not based on my experience tonight at the R&B and wine event, but my experience in general. Tonight my rating was 3.5 stars in service only because my sister and I got a lemon drop (not a double) and a tonic water and it was $35! The restaurant took it upon themselves to add gratuity automatically. I don't know if this is the rule in general or just the event, but regardless it was very off putting.“

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

“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.“

“I came here after a great dinner at the Thai restaurant within walking distance. The wine and beer selection was right up my alley, I had a wonderful Malbec then followed it up with a local craft beer and left having made new friends with some of the locals and the owner Tony.“

“Kelly and Gisele are the best! Squalo Vino has a great energy, excellent rotating selection of high quality both by-the-glass and on the bottle list, and an awesome wine club! Tasty small plates to keep the party going. A must visit in Tiburon, even if you only have time for glass!“

“When I can’t sleep, I remember the time I had dinner here and I miss the taste of this place.“

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

“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.“

“The food and wine are fantastic!“

“I have coming here for ages. Knew the past owners and met the recent owners today. The food is always fresh and delicious. I love their morning croissant sandwiches, the French dip sandwich. Today I’m having the pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese on rye bread with potato salad and rootbeer.“
