Nice little wine bar with small bites in the Cannery Row area. They had some nice wine choices and beers. Charcuterie and flatbreads and other snacks. Wine flights in test tubes which looked a bit bizarre but was popular! Good service with only one person working when I went. I went with a glass of their Brut which was slightly sweet for me , and their sourdough pretzel with Dijon mustard. The pretzel was nice and warm and the mustard had a great kick. Nice little gifts available too. I liked that it had groups and just solos having a glass of vino at the end of the day. Cozy feel.

We joined because of the amazing experience here with Nate and Carrie. We love that this place is run by such a tight knit family and all of the wines are insanely incredible! We got to come here and play games and just enjoy the vibe! We highly recommend this place!

This is a great place to stop when you are in Monterey. We had to change our plans for a group of 10 and Carrie at the Wine Experience was able to accommodate us on a Friday evening. The location is great and the charcuterie board was excellent. Most had the wine flights and everyone enjoyed our pre-dinner event. The service is excellent. We loved the wine choices and menu.

First time going wine tasting here, and I loved it! They have many options, from doing a 4 flight up to doing an 8 for tasting. What caught my attention was the tubes they brought the wine in! A unique way of serving wine.The spot is very relaxing to hang out with friends and try some wine together!I will definitely be coming back! I highly recommend checking it out!

What a delightful tasting room. We wandered in on a cool, misty afternoon in late September to find the place empty. What a bonus for us. The wine attendant was personable, informative and we enjoyed learning about the different wines they had to offer. There are numerous red varietals, a couple white and a sparkling to choose from. They are served in test tubes - a fun presentation and you also have a wine glass to pour them in. They have a yummy cheese/cracker board and other items to enjoy with your wine. We enjoyed it thoroughly and will return on our next visit.

Dear Craig, This place is pretty close to your home. It's a great place to chill, drink some wine or beer, and plays games. The staff was so friendly. They helped with choosing a wine and were a wealth of info on what to do in the area. Jack

Great wine bar with a large variety of local wines, priced well. The charcuterie platter was an embarrassment of riches and worth every penny. Great place to wine down a day of sightseeing in Monterey.
Stopped in for a glass of wine & olive appetizer and enjoyed our visit.It was a Monday, early afternoon so we had the place to ourselves. Very relaxing & the staff was very friendly.

Really nice cutsie place in downtown Monterey opposite a nice hotels in four minutes from the aquarium and the beaches.Wine tasting as a decent $20 for for good size fours served in test tubes for you to try blending !They have decent, small bites and pizza
Cute little place with quick service. It was perfect to unwind with a book and some wine after work. The menu looked delicious, I plan on trying some food next time.

Wine was good. The moscato wasn't my favorite tho, but other wines are very flavorful. I love the service here, they are very friendly and know how to take care of customers. Will come back.

We wanted to check out another tasting and especially since this place was right across the hotel. Fun place with unique tasting test tubes, games and small bites. Wine tasted good along with the spinach and artichoke dip and pretzel. Service was quick and friendly. The vibe is fun and relaxing especially on the comfy couches. I'd like to come back here next time I'm in town.

We decided to do some impromptu wine tasting on our last night in Monterey. We had a 2 year old and 3 month old and were accommodated wonderfully. The owner sat us at the large table towards the back which was perfect with littles. He was very informative, kind, and personable. The snacks were delightful and the wine was delicious and fun in their test tube tasters. The boys enjoyed their beer as well. Overall a great experience! Kudos for having a large TV with the game on! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Walked in and did a wine blending experience and got to create our own label. Lots of fun and nice staff. Pizza and pretzel was good too.
