Knowledgeable staff in an approachable setting that can accommodate large and small groups. Fantastic wines in a fantastic spot. Who could ask for more?

Had a team event here to blend our own wines and create our own labels. It was a great experience, staff made us feel like old friends, location was private, with classic Cali indoor/outdoor areas. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible. When you taste their wine you'll know why they've won awards for it, deliciously!

Tanner was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable of the wines, shared fun anecdotes and made the experience so fun and enjoyable. We loved chatting with him and would definitely return to Solvang to see him at the McClain Cellars! He made our honeymoon very special and sweet! Great experience!

We really enjoyed our Saturday and the service with Agnes and Cathy were AMAZING and So friendly! We met another couple there and looking forward to seeing them again at the next visit! Our lab, Dixie, was welcomed and the wine is seriously THE BEST! We’ve been members now for a couple of years, and always enjoy driving up from La Jolla to pick up our wine and always feel like family there! ❤️

It's a beautifully laid out tasting room. Agnes was amazing! Welcoming of our large group and knowledgeable about all the wines we tasted! All of them were delicious and will definitely be back again. Small bites were just enough as we had tasting flights. Could be great for a date night as well. Go see Agnes! You won't be disappointed!

The service staff was amazing. The wine is excellent. We didn't eat food so I didn't evaluate that — but all else was excellent!

We have requested to cancel this membership for over a year yet we keep getting charged despite multiple phone calls and emails confirming cancellation. The initial cancellation was in Jan or Feb this year. We even confirmed that we had cancelled in person at their Solvang location. Yet we keep getting charged with the most recent charge in December, after having already getting refunded for an incorrect charge a few months ago. The wine is fine but I’m extremely disappointed in the business practices.

Fabulous service and wine. Great place to visit on a Sunday afternoon to taste great wine while listening to live music.

This is a very small venue. A group of ladies went to support the band that was playing. The parking g was difficult as it was during g sawdust festival. They were short staffed to accommodate the customers but Lucas still.made us feel special. The product pricing is on the high end. It will be a $$$ night.
Amazing place I absolutely love it so Laguna Beach. I enjoyed live music, great atmosphere comfortable seating with heat lamps. Generous pours of wine. Amazing service. They even got me treats for my dog. I tried the Masters flight tasting with some amazing cheese and crackers. My server Agnes was delightful and so attentive. It was not expensive, considering the quality of wine and food and presentation. I would highly recommend this place.

I hosted an event at McClain for my alma mater, and it went fabulously well!! The staff was very helpful and accommodating, even being flexible in letting us stay after closing (which they already extended for the event). The wine is top tier quality, and the space was comfortable to enjoy. Our event got rave reviews, and one reason for that was the hospitality and McClain!

Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️

There was nowhere to park. There was a lot dedicated to the restaurant immediately adjacent to the restaurant with a few open spots but the attendant would not let us in despite our reservation. He said that the owner of the parking lot instructed him to close it. This was at 5:00 pm on a Saturday. There were no other spots available along the street and the restaurant did not offer valet parking. Life is too short, and there are too many other choices, for such inconvenience.

Great time with the family before dinner. Wonderful weather, great wine and awesome popcorn made for a great night! Staff was wonderful and caring!
