Carruth Cellars Urban Winegarden & Cheese Shop: Liberty Station

Their Little Italy wine garden is perfect for afternoon sipping! The urban winery sources grapes from Northern California but produces everything locally. Their flight options let you sample widely, and the knowledgeable staff explain each varietal’s characteristics. Great cheese boards too!

Went here for wine flights and appetizers recently! My friend and I were celebrating her retirement and Thomas was so friendly and accommodating. He explained the flights and food in good detail and made our choices easy! Food was delicious as was the wine! The bar is so lively and friendly too! Looking forward to returning!!

this place has became one of my favorite spots for music drinks and ambiance. they have a large outdoor courtyard that please live music every Tuesday and sunday. they also have weekly specials. they have a great selection of wines as well as cheese and charcuterie boards that you can pair with them. the service is super nice and friendly. the vibe is inntimate, yet wveryone is very friendly and welcoming. I've honestly fall in love with this place so much that I've officially remember! a lot of perks of membership, and given how frequently we were going here and made sense to join! although you don't need to be a member. this is a great place for a date, hang with friends or coworkers or simply enjoy some nice wine and music. also a great dog friendly place where dogs can socialize as well.

On a visit to San Diego we visited the Wine Garden of Carruth Cellars. It was a cool and cloudy day so we sat indoors looking out at the garden.

We had a delightful lunch - sharing both the Farmhouse Chopped Salad with a flight of Crostini. Each slide of Baguette had different toppings that were delicious.

The salad was delicious - with a plenty of flavorful ingredients (Romaine, Radicchio, Salami, Cherry Tomatoes, Red Onion topped with a house made vinaigrette. The five Crostini had unique flavors that was a tasting adventure. We enjoyed them all but I preferred the Marinated Feta Date with Pecan and honey and the Fig with Gouda cheese and Thyme. My wife's favorite was the more savory Hummus Tapenade with Feta and the Herb Chèvre with Sweet Peppers.

The ambiance was casual but classy and the service was friendly and attentive.

Great wines, nice atmosphere, live music, cool vibe. Became a club member 8 years ago and I keep coming back.

Tried to get 1 glass of wine at 9:15 and they said they stop serving on a Friday a night at 9pm, an hour before closing. The bar was full and people had had full glasses of wine but unfortunately I had to go somewhere else. Stone Brewery across the street still serves at this time (and they also close at 10)

I love it here!

Excellent attention, service, concept, wines. Great place.

Great food, fun wine and friendly staff. Nice place to grab a glass and bites with friends or solo.

This is, literally, one of our favorite places in San Diego. Either for a Saturday afternoon hang out, or a date night place to relax, Carruth is ideal. It has it’s own courtyard, tucked away from the foot traffic of liberty station. It also has a bar / interior space that is, frankly, liminal, being some where near eccentric and cozy, all at once. The patio is dog friend (big bonus in my book), with multiple types of seating options and seems to handle multiple small groups with ease. The staff has always been knowledgeable, and always cheery. They have a narrow variety of food options, but the ones you’d expect with wine typically. Unexpected is a grilled cheese sandwich that makes you throw rocks at your childhood standard.

Hard to manage, and harder to quantify, and sounding a bit ridiculous when I say it out loud, but they get the vibe right. It’s never raucous, but also, never pretentious. There’s always a wide variety of The wines are, no joke, good amongst the many place we’ve been. Enough so we became members.

Great wine bar, service and food - get the crostini flight! Shoutout to Parker and Maddy for their amazing service

The wine and the cheese flights were excellent. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Love coming for Tuesday Jazz night! The Carruth Cellars private label Zinfandel is one of my favorite wines. The patio is great and we always get served with a smile ?

I love coming here for date night or with friends! The patio is dog friendly, there's music a couple times a week, the food is great and the environment is beautiful and relaxing. I joined the wine club and it literally pays for itself after a month.
