The waiter was excellent. We had been there before and the vibe was great. Was also great this time until the actual owner showed up. He was very rude!!!!! The vibe totally changed when he showed up and he apparently thought it was appropriate to scold our great waiter in front of us over some spilled water... most likely will not return at the chance of the owner showing up and raining on our wine taste experience.

Visited here a couple of times whilst we stayed in Monterey. We spoke to Jake on both occasions who had fantastic knowledge on his wine. Great place to chill out & drink wine of course.

They were closed on a Thursday at 7:50pm even though the operating hours declared on the door are till 9pm.

Such a fun way to taste wines from different vineyards. We also blended wines and add our own, bottled it and have a special label! Very memorable.

Met the loveliest girl here, I feel so bad I can’t remember her name but persuaded her to travel to Europe. She told us all about the events they host here like quiz nights so on. We only had the taster flight but the wines were lush and worth every penny

This was a cool little spot to unwind after a long drive. The customer service was excellent. Atmosphere was very relaxed. And staff were very friendly. There is a beautiful big dog that hangs out here too. We'll be back.

Enjoyed a nice bottle of local Pinot Noir and a meat and cheese tray. Great service and yum yummy snacks that paired well with our wine. We enjoyed our evening. Bonus we could walk there from our hotel.

Vegetarian options: Cheese plate was good!

The staff was very helpful and kind! Pesto artichoke Pizza tasted good. A bit crunchier than I expected. I enjoyed myself at craft night!

Update 20 AUGUST 2024.
This is such a nice place that we simply had to cancel our dinner appointment and return.

This time we tasted the rest of the wines and had some previously tasted wines. And we had the nice combination board (Cheese, sausage and crackers/nuts). Very nice.
Nate was the host this afternoon and evening - a super nice person.

My wife and I dropped by 19 AUG 2024 for a tasting of wines. We each had the flight of four, and tasted a total of 8 wines.
They were all very nice.
You can also get beer here and some minor dishes.
It looked like that you can make/blend your own wine and get it bottled with your own label. That could be fun to do.
If you like wine - drop by here.

Low key little spot with good selection of wine. They have a few local beers too and they also serve some small bites. Greta selection and super friendly staff. They serve their flights in test tubes which is fun and different. They have an option for make your own blend which is fun and interesting.
