Cork and Stem is an absolutely lovely top tier wine bar. They have great food, superb events, and the best staff. I always enjoy the tastings and the sense of community that they provide.

My husband and I came here for date night and had the best experience! We ordered wine flights, artisan bread with dipping oil, and the olive plate — everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel so welcome. Such a perfect spot to relax and enjoy great wine and food. We’ll definitely be back!

Great friendly service, yummy small bites, fun neighborhood vibe, I loved their frosty A/C on a warm evening and the cold metal straw in my frosay rose (slushee). Low-key vibe makes it an easy breezy Sunday night!

A combo of my favorite things - wine and fresh flowers. The staff makes you feel known and are helpful choosing a wine!
Absolutely perfect bridal shower! Beautiful venue of both flower and wine bars! Jenna is the best! Our family and friends enjoyed our afternoon with the bride and surprise visit from the groom & crew. Highly recommend! 💐🍷

We hosted a bridal shower here and had the best experience! The space was super cute and had such a great vibe. Jenna, the owner, was so responsive, accommodating, and genuinely sweet. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, which we really appreciated.
If you're looking for a spot to host something special, this place is a total gem. Huge thanks to Jenna and her team for helping us create such a memorable day!

Cute atmosphere with bar, charcuterie boards and flower shop. Came here with a group for a private cooking class hosted by a partner chef.

If I could give this place a 10, I would! I love having Cork & Stem just around the corner from my condo. I've been a handful of times now—for special events and casual happy hours—and it’s been top-notch every time. The food is great, too! I especially love their $35 bottle-and-charcuterie-board special—such a steal and so delicious. Perfect spot for a low-key girl’s night out!

One of the best lounges for wine tasting in San Diego! Excellent service, great small plates and pairings for their wines and most of their wines are local from California. Thank you! This place rocks!

Love this place! We recently went to Cork & Stem and had wine, a charcuterie board and flatbread. The food was delicious and we loved the wine as well! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful. Hoping to come back soon. Thank you Jenna

Jenna not only did our wedding day florals but hosted our bridal shower at Cork & Stem! Her team and her were amazing with both events and brought my vision to life, I couldn’t recommend her enough! Jenna made sure to have pre-wedding meetings to make sure everything would be perfect and the wedding day florals were very affordable. Thank you Jenna + team for everything! If anyone was debating hosting an event at cork & stem or using them for their next parties florals definitely pop in for a glass of wine and ask all the questions!

I finally checked out Cork & Stem for a friend’s birthday celebration last week Saturday. The birthday boy and his fiancé are friends with the owner, Jen, who is lovely. The space she created is absolutely wonderful! She reserved the back area for the party. We were able to decorate the space with balloons and streamers and confetti. The birthday boy arrived and was totally surprised. It was the best!
The food that was ordered from the venue was a great variety and was delicious! I didn’t even realize I was hungry until I smelled the fresh bread of the flatbread pizzas. We all noshed and raved about all of the things we were shoving into our faces.
The wine! My friend selected four wines to be served: a red, a rose, a chard, and a bubbly. I tried each of them and they were all good but my favourite was the rose which isn’t like me. That’s one of maybe three roses that I’ve liked…ever.
We enjoyed each other’s company and removed our debris so they could close at 9 PM.
I found out they have regular events including flower arranging parties monthly. I’ll definitely be back to partake of a few and the food and wine.
Thank you, C&S for a brilliant evening!
