“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 ❤️“

“BEST WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE EVER.
Been to multiple vineyards to taste but JJ provided excellent service and was very knowledgeable about wines. I probably learned the most about wines thru JJ than any other winery/vineyard. His wines are pretty dank.“

“Exceptional Wine and a Fantastic Experience
McClain Cellars truly delivers on both quality and experience. The wines are outstanding—rich, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it easy to sit back and enjoy every pour. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to explain each wine without being overwhelming. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking for a great place to unwind, McClain Cellars is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“It was such a fun experience. Came the night before to scope the place out and spoke to Lauren and found out there was a live band the next day. We arrived about 15 minutes before they were fully open so we sat on the patio looking at the wine options and talked until they opened. They had two white wines which I didn't try and the rest were reds. I didn't get to try all the reds because you get 6 to a tasting but all the ones I did taste were great! Ended up getting a bottle of the Cab Sauv and the Dark Elements to enjoy with the live music.

The staff was excellent the entire time even when they got busy. Shout out to Lauren, Christian, Rachel and Shay for the excellent service! Specially Lauren who took care of us from open to close even with a little humorous mix up when she thought I was the live music. Lol great time highly recommend trying them. Great wines right on the water and amazing staff!“

“Phenomenal experience every time! If you are not a member of the Rancho Capistrano wine club you are missing out!!!!“

“It was a great time for me and my hubby. Great date night. Karen the owner, was very hospitable and so talented. She teaches and gave me techniques to ‘correct’ my paintings. I’m a sweet wine drinker so the moscato was so yummy! We will be back for sure to do another!“

“Love this place! Reeks personality and real fun.
My group loved it and corporate had us staying at Resort at Pelican Hill - we had all options. My favourite option of all the crazy places i visited.
Not for for corporate stiffs.
loved the wine and good food on paper plates.

Caren and staff (wish I could remember names) were really fun interesting people.
No idea the business model of a coutach on a wall and crazy real estate allows this but, thank you!“
