Hearst Ranch Winery is a popular destination that offers a stunning ocean view from its outdoor patio, ideal for warm summer days. The friendly and well-trained staff cater to both small and large groups, and while reservations are recommended for timely seating, they can often accommodate walk-ins. The winery features a range of delicious wines, including the phenomenal 2020 Arbuckle Ridge Cabernet Ridge, the 2021 Bunkhouse Cabernet, and the 2021 Carpoforo Zinfandel, which has become a favorite among visitors. Guests can also enjoy a flight of wine with the purchase of two bottles. The winery is dog-friendly, with both the patio and tasting room welcoming furry friends. Alongside wine tastings, there is a store on site where guests can buy cheeses, meats, and finger foods. The knowledgeable staff provide detailed insights into each wine's background and flavor profile, enhancing the overall experience. The tasting room offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with an impressive amount of comfortable seating both indoors and out, making it a great place to enjoy time with good company. Visitors can also indulge in a delicious lunch menu, including a cheeseburger, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and a charcuterie board, all designed for sharing. The food is praised for its fantastic quality and reasonable pricing, with generous serving sizes. Sipping wine while enjoying the stunning beach views makes for a memorable afternoon, and many visitors highly recommend stopping by when in the area.
