We stopped in on a whim while visiting Cannery Row and were so glad we did. The wine was really wonderful and talking to the winemaker about his craft made it even better. The tasting room with local art and a redwood bar makes a great place to relax for a bit. You'll end up taking home at least one bottle!

I decided to try them for wine tasting using a Groupon. The issue was they only let you taste their reds and not their whites and I am a white wine drinker. So if you are white wine drinker, do not wine taste here. I recommend that you just buy a bottle of white wine and maybe some small plate/appetizers and enjoy your wine while looking out on the bay. They have a good selection of small plate/appetizer type dishes and they are very good and not over priced for the area. It is a very relaxing, romantic location . Go there around sunset and get a table by the window.
