I've lived in the area a while now and finally found this great winery tasting room! The staff was super friendly and the wines were very good. I especially liked the Pinot Noir, I have a weakness for a good Central Coast Pinot! I also enjoyed the Grenache and Barbera. We tried a charcuterie board which paired very well with the wine, the spiced pecans were amazing. We will be back!

Excellent wine, amazing staff!

Comanche is our go to wine and date night spot! The team is so lovely (shout out to Lindsay, Angela, and Jeff!) and always make us feel welcomed. Bingo night is one of our favorites, featuring dad jokes and the chance to win a gift card. They also host other events like trivia, library wine tastings, and paint your pet nights. I can’t recommend this place enough! P.S. - The pet nat wine is our FAVORITE and we can’t wait for it to come back!!

After 9 years in this wine rich part of California, Comanche Cellars is the go to spot! The wine is not only fantastic but the people and employees also make it a special experience. The employees (Angela, Jeff and Lindsay, just to name a few!) cultivate the most welcoming environment whether you are coming in for studying, work, or socializing. Honestly it always feels like coming home :) You are bound to make incredible spontaneous connections within the community as well!

I always have an incredible experience at Commanche Cellars in Monterey! The wine selection is absolutely fantastic, with a range of wines that suit every palate, from rich reds to crisp whites. Lindsay and Maddie, who are often behind the bar, are amazing – not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, but also super friendly and always make our visit so enjoyable. The winery also hosts some really fun events throughout the year, like a chocolate pairing evening and a paint your pet night, which add a great sense of community to the experience. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a great place to relax, Commanche Cellars is a must-visit spot in Monterey. Highly recommend!

Really hesitated leaving this review because this place seems mostly great, but we had a strange experience with the service here last week. We walked in and sat at the bar, and maybe we should have made a reservation but it was hours before closing and they had lots of open seating so we figured it was okay. The server assigned to us took a long time to acknowledge us and then kept forgetting about us (or ignoring us?) and the other staff person would have to check on us or remind her to do so throughout the night which made the tasting go very slowly. That wasn't the worst as we weren't in a hurry, but unfortunately our server seemed to know nothing at all about the wine, when she tried to describe each wine in the tasting flight she was clearly just struggling to read upside-down from the menu in front of us. When the other server, Sarah, would take over and pour our next glass (which happened 2/5 times) she was so much more knowledgeable about what she was pouring and just way better customer service all around. There was also a weird moment with our assigned server where she asked if my partner and I were related, and then when we explained that we are not, she doubled down and said that we looked related and we probably get that a lot which was just not the best thing to say. Everyone puts their foot in their mouth sometimes, but combined with the fact that we were being ignored so much that the other server kept having to step in, it made for a poor experience. Overall the wines were very good (we did the Festive Flight), the ambiance was nice, and the other server seemed to be providing great service so maybe this is just a case of a new employee needing more training and self-awareness, but we left feeling a bit weird about the whole thing.

The staff is so warm and kind. Love coming in here for a low key night with great wine and good company. And they love pets!!
One of the best local wine bars! Lindsay is the best! Don't skip this wine bar AND she was the best to our puppy, Charlie! 🧡

I had such a special experience at Comanche. As a solo traveller I sat at the counter with both Jeff and Lindsay and learnt so much more about wine. They are extremely knowledgable and friendly, and really made my evening in Monterey. You must visit if you are in the area. Thank you guys, really special experience.
