    $90 spent on this , not impressed
    Bernardo B.

    Was not impressed by the place , it's pretty much a storefront counter service inside a warehouse house with some outside parking lot sitting . Wine was ok but I think on the pricy side and the rest of the items we got it's just like going to Ralph's and getting them there to eat at a park . Spent about $90 in the picture attached for some paper plates , plastic fork and lunchables items .

    What a way to end a perfect hike in Solana Beach, sitting outside, sipping our flights of wine and enjoying our prepackaged charcuterie at Carruth Cellars. We were a party of 4 on a Monday. We arrived right at 1:00 PM when they opened. The winery is fairly big, it has indoor and patio seating. The young lady that was manning the counters and the pours was very helpful and very nice. We each ordered the $25 "Let it Flow" wine flights, plus a few prepackaged meats, cheeses, nuts and a baguette. We were able to sit and relax for as long as we wanted. The timing and day was perfect, not busy at all. I would definitely be back when in the area. Atmosphere: a relaxing vibe with both indoor and patio seating. Service: excellent. Wine tasting and Snack: very good.

    This is my go-to place for live music and wine. They have multiple locations so I decided to meet my friend who lives in North County at the Solana Beach location. They don't have a lot of food at the location but there's plenty of restaurants surrounding it, so just be prepared if you're looking for drinks and food here. Every Wednesday they have live music, which creates such an intimate and vibrant ambience. I ordered the let it flow flight and my friend got a glass of one of there new wines, tattoo wine. From service to entertainment to Ambiance this place has a special place in my heart. Just an fyi, there's also plenty of parking around the corner, limited parking right in front.

    What a nice spot! This place is a lot bigger inside than I expected. It's got good long tables for seating larger groups and high ceilings. The staff is incredibly friendly. They had a great chilled red that was perfect for a particularly warm day. I look forward to coming back here to try more.

    We have been visiting Carruth a number of times both during regular business hours and also for private events. They are located in the beautiful Cedros District which is just a short walk from the beach. Their wine is great and service is wonderful and efficient. There is no food onsite other than some charcuterie options but they allow you to bring your own food in. Plus they also have the occasional food truck and pizza Wednesday (my favorite!). They also have music on certain nights. Kids and dogs are allowed.

    Hidden gem! We came in on a Friday evening and had a lovely evening. Carruth is tucked away on Cedros so it's a little hidden. There is street parking nearby. There are tables outside and a nice barrel room feel inside. I definitely recommend the bartender flight! They will put together a flight of 5 tastings based on your preferences. Mine was spot on!!! There is a nice selection of cheese, charcuterie, and a baguette or crackers available. Everything we had was delicious and paired perfectly with the wine! Don't miss the purple haze cheese!!

    Cutest little wine spot in Solana beach! Indoor and outdoor seating with great selections of wine and cheese / meats. Dog friendly! Definitely joining their awesome monthly membership club.

    Cab and bread
    Sean H.

    Finally something other than a brewery! Wow - how can I say this... their signature Cab is a 10/10. While I did NOT realize it was SO pricey for a glass when I tasted a sample, I can honestly say "no regrets" for treating myself to this amazing wine! Also plenty of other more average priced wines on their menu that were also great. Bread, cheese, and other nibbles available - though our cheese came vacuumed sealed it did end up sticking together like a giant chunk - not the most glamorous look to try and break it apart with your fingernails. Super chill vibes and lots of large tables for groups! Service was friendly and chill.

    Had a great time with close friends and friends of friends enjoying the Zin, Petite Syrah and chilled Pinot Noir and snacks! Also loved the amazing wood furniture decor and lively crowd - oh sorry we were the lovely crowd!

    Such a cute spot down the road from my place! It's got a very cute, casual ambiance. Love the wine barrel background and the fire pit outside. Got the tempranillo - really delicious and light perfect for a weeknight glass, or weekend, honestly drink it whenever it's great. The wine club is great and I highly recommend it!

    I can't rave enough about Carruth Cellars and the incredible experience they gave us. My husband and I held our rehearsal dinner there on July 12th, and from start to finish, it was exceptional. As a bride who was stressed out and frazzled, I mixed up the dates in our contract and accidentally booked for the wrong day. When we showed up in a panic, the team at Carruth Cellars didn't miss a beat. They went out of their way to accommodate us, transforming the space and clearing it out in just one hour. I was floored by their efficiency and grace under pressure. Nick immediately jumped in to help rearrange the tables and clear the area, and Hayley, the event manager, arrived swiftly to make sure everything was in place. Throughout the chaos, their kindness and professionalism were a true comfort to me and my family. Carruth Cellars is already a beautiful venue, but it's the warm, supportive staff that makes it truly special. Whether you're planning an event or just stopping by for a great glass of wine, Carruth Cellars is a place you'll want to visit. And if you're wondering what to try, our personal favorites--and those of our guests--were the Rosé and Sangiovese. They were simply delightful!

    Everyone having fun

    Found this company a couple months ago when inquiring about a wine tour to Valle de Guadalupe…read more Unfortunately, they were booked out but Jane was kind enough to not only connect me with another person in the industry who could offer the tour location we wanted AND offer us a package for a different location. I was truly blown away by her transparency and her communication so I decided to proceed with her company. It was super easy to coordinate the logistics and itinerary. Not only was the itinerary perfectly curated, but she went above and beyond to make my group feel celebrated and appreciated. She congratulated my group on our accomplishments and even got me a cute "bride" headband to celebrate my recent engagement. Very sweet and thoughtful! In addition, safety is clearly a top priority. The date we chose happened to be an extremely hot day and Jane took initiative to rearrange our itinerary to make sure we could still enjoy the day and keep as cool as possible. Lunch was catered from a local farm to table local business and it was absolutely delicious- definitely make sure you have enough appetite to enjoy it! We also paid extra for a wine and cheese pairing and we are SO glad we did. Some things to consider/ tips: 1. Our day started a little rocky due to inevitable traffic and a wrong turn, but Jane quickly resolved the issue with the driver and we had a great time moving forward. If you have the option to board your shuttle early definitely do it. 2. Time at each winery is pretty limited.. you won't have too much time to take all the photos you'd like AND sit and enjoy your tastings per winery visit.. if you're determined to get a good selection of photos bring your glass with you and do your best to keep up with those just tasting. There were a few moments we felt a bit rushed because we wanted to do both. 3. If music selection on your shuttle is important to you, have the person in charge of tunes arrive to the shuttle early to set up the blue tooth. It was trickier to set up than we aniticpated so there was a good 20 minutes of silence and troubleshooting happening as we were on the road Overall, Jane is a SUPERB host and does everything in her power to make sure you have the best experience. If i wasn't moving soon I'd definitely want to book this experience again!

Eddie showed us the Barrel Room and shared some information about the barrels. Our next step was Lorimar winery, we enjoyed wine, live music, the outdoor patio was packed with people having a great time. The air was chilly, but they had heaters for comfort. They served a buffet meal which was quite delicious and generous! Our server at Lorimar made herself available for anything we needed. Eddie, our driver even fetched our sweaters when we needed them. This was event first class, fun, and no hassle. We all had a great time! The only challenge, which is typical at public events, long bathroom line for the women at Lorimar.
