So fun! Pre-load a card when you walk in & then sample away. Employees can help you out first time :) Great wines!
Amanda K.

Love this gem. Wine shop, tapas/ small plates to eat, beer and a really fun wine tasting experience. You pre-load a card at the front register and then insert it into the wine station. You can choose a small tasting, half glass, or full glass. They always have an amazing selection. When you insert the card, put the chip towards the front door. It will also tell you how much you have left on your prepaid card. We always end up adding more because the wine is so good. Employees are always so friendly as well. Cheers!

Their patio is gorgeous and dog friendly

We always love coming to this little precious gem on the Mission Viejo lake. It is perfect for a happy hour for a girls night out a birthday a date bring your dog bring your smile bring your appetite for good wine ... I was there last night, celebrating my birthday with a friend and I'm gonna tell you they are just so gracious Mike and everyone else there. It's a wonderful place to go and spend time with people you really care about. ...

Great food and service as always. We like to stop by right after they open so it's nice and quiet.

Chicken Ranch Flatbread & Charcuterie Board

Amazing place to unwind and enjoy a glass or five of their amazing wine collection. You get loadable card from the front and you choose your own tasting. Smart concept! They have great selection of meats and cheeses that pair well with your cab or sauvignon. Service was so good from everyone in the shop. And you're overlooking Lake Mission Viejo so come at sunset. They have 40% off on wine for happy hour.

Such a great place!! First off the service is outstanding here, friendly & personable, pushes the experience over the top. The charcuterie and cheese selection is top quality and the wines they have on the taster are great and you can taste all of them!! Once you find one you like you can get a glass and kick it outside with a view of the lake. All in all a nice way to enjoy the day off. Thank you guys!! Cheers

Patio seating

Love this place. I enjoy a glass or two of wine like many others and wouldn't it be nice to explore wines that most establishments don't serve? If yes, this is place. Resides on beautiful lake Mission Viejo, this is a must for wine lovers. Hundreds of boutique wines. They also have wine tasting stations which you load up a card, like for video games, and go at 20 different wines. Very cool. There is plenty of patio seating and indoor seating. Service is excellent and the food is limited, more complimentary to wine tasting. Very tasty. Highly recommend.

Beautiful lake view from the patio

The wines are great. Staff are helpful and friendly. Flatbread and charcuterie are excellent. But the best part is the lakeside view.

My husband and I stopped by Silverado Canyon Market with our newborn and instantly fell in love…read morewith this absolute gem of a place. From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, welcoming, and full of charm. We had the pleasure of meeting Deanna, who--along with her husband--owns the market, and you can truly feel the heart they've poured into it. I had the best chai latte here, along with a fantastic pastrami sandwich and The Goombah--every bite was incredible. You can immediately tell the food is high-quality and absolutely made with love. As new parents out and about with a baby, the kindness and genuine hospitality made the experience even more special. This is truly a hidden gem. Beware--once you come here, it will instantaneously become one of your favorite places!

I've been here twice. I absolutely think the place is a hidden gem and would love to stop by more…read moreoften however both times Ive stopped in I haven't felt extremely welcomed, let me explain. Once I dropped in with my nephews (3 and 7 at the time) for lunch and enjoyed it however we had an odd experience where one of them wanted a sandwich dry (meaning no condiments) and we were told by the waitress that no alterations were allowed on the menu. That was a year or so ago. Moving on I thought it was strange but didnt think too much of it other than them not liking kids. Yesterday I stopped in solo after a 30 mile canyon ride and asked for a IVL (Latte) to go (in there small defense they did ask if I wanted for there or to go). They made it quickly which was great. It was maybe 9am and there were maybe 3 tables seated in their side outdoor space with maybe 6 cars in the lot, it was not packed at all. I went to walk thru the door to the side outdoor seating just to look around and maybe sit for 5 minutes and was told I wasnt allowed back there as they're 'full service'. My assumption was that meant they wanted to keep the tables open for people who eat there which is fine. So I said no worries and explained I just wanted to look around instead of sit and then was told yet again I couldn't even go through the door nor sit indoors. I was told my only option was to take my coffee out front. It really felt as if I wasnt welcome there at all. It was a very odd experince to be honest. I've worked in customer service for over 20 years myself and all that they had to say to me was 'you can look around and sit for 5 minutes or until we start to get busy'. Instead whoever trains the staff here seems to train that of it's to go then people arent welcome to stay even for 5 minutes. As for the drink itself. Instead of making a latte with an expresso shot it was simply milk with brewed coffee sat atop (very bitter at that). Which was really odd as I could see they had a full expresso machine setup. Not sure if it was intentionally made bad but once again it felt as if I wasnt welcome there. *Updating below in response to the owner/managers response* 1. Regarding the latte with brewed pour over on top I didn't get that information from anyone. That WAS the drink I was served. Ive had maybe 5000 lattes in my life time from about 500 different cafes. Maybe someone pulled a really bad (over extracted shot) but it was 100% like a pour over on top of milk. 2. I never tried to use the emergency side exit/gate. I tried to use the adjoining door way. 3. I completely get the outside is reserved seating only now. That could have been explained friendlier on the spot. The approach of the situation could have been a sure you can take a look but cant sit. Simple. 4. When I went with my nephews it wasnt a question of not having a kids menu it was not allowing the slightest of alterations (no condiments) for kids who are typically picky at a certain age. 5. Ill agree maybe its just not a good alignment.
