Beautiful Space and Super Friendly Team! I can't wait to go back. The wine is well priced and the frozen rose is a super fun option! They are always hosting super fun events too so there is a lot of reasons to stop by! read more

Was invited by a friend for some wine. This is a cute place in Hillcrest. Downfall is parking but I found a spot a little ways down. They have food and of course wine. I sampled the 2 flavors of wine slushy and I couldn't pick, so I got it mixed! It was so so good. I ordered a personal charcuterie board. Kristen and Kirsten were friendly. read more

I found out about Cork & Stem (C&S) while searching on Eventbrite for a NYE party. Come to find out the owner is also from the East Coast so we had a chance to ring in the New Year twice. I instantly loooved the friendly vibes when it was our first time there and didn't realize that it was brand new to the neighborhood. Everyone there was down-to-earth! And fast forward, C&S put out all kinds of events and I've joined in on the fun festivities like Happy Hour Bingo...Flower Vase Decorating Party just to name a few. This is now my favorite wine spot to go to. I made it a point to celebrate their 2nd Anniversary to show support. I highly recommend this woman-owned business to the Yelp Community :-) read more

Did you know that Cork and Stem is not just only an amazing spot for a great glass of wine but they also do floral arrangements for weddings and events? Jenna is absolutely amazing to work with and really strives to make sure you are getting exactly what you want and providing tons of options when it came to designing the flowers for my wedding. I have loved coming in here for happy hour over the years so when it came to picking who would do my flowers I knew it was going to be Cork & Stem. If you haven't been here yet you definitely should and if you have any sort of event coming up and want some gorgeous flowers to make your event pop - look no further and go to Cork & Stem! read more

I came here for an event a few months back and immediately fell I love, and planned to comeback soon. They had their 2 year anniversary so my friend and I decided to stop by and celebrate with them. Omg! Such a fun night they had the whole place decked out and specials as well. They had fresh popcorn, face painting and photo ops to help celebrate as well as wine and food specials. I love the idea of making your own bouquet of flowers as I love fresh flowers. The staff are always so welcoming, kind and seem to genuinely love their job. They offer a nice selection of wines and their frosé wine slushee was delicious! So happy to see they're doing well, and cheers to many more years to come! read more

What a delightful spot! Flowers, wine and girl time? Perfect. We went on a Wednesday (pro tip: all night happy hour) with 5 of us. We ordered two bottles of the house cab and two boards for $70 total. We also got some individual glasses of wine, a hummus board (hummus is delicious here) and spicy (not spicy at all) jelly and cream cheese. They have gluten free crackers and veggies too. Finally, at the end of the night, we made flower wraps for $12. Great girls night out spot! read more

Really can't say enough good things about this place. $10 Happy Hour bouquets, a great selection of wines and frozen bevvies, delicious bites, and the warmest owner and staff. Celebrated my birthday here and they had a long communal table set up for us. We had a few bottles to share and bomb flatbreads (of which the pesto was the crowd fave), along with a baked Brie that people couldn't get enough of, and a lovely selection of meats, cheeses, nuts and fruits on their charcuterie board. It happened to also be happy hour which meant $10 bouquets and it couldn't be simpler: 1 Focal, 2 accent, and 3 greens/fillers All wrapped up in brown parchment (they even wrapped the stems in wet paper towels since we had another stop before heading home), and finish off with a cute wine charm of your choice. Everyone got to show off their creative side, walk around and mingle, and enjoy some great bites. Would def recommend this place for a birthday, date night, or girls night out. read more

Amazing overall! 10/10 in all categories. Service was super friendly and accommodating, wine was tasty and strong, and charcuterie was so delicious! We had a reservation but got to choose where to sit so we sat in some comfy chairs in the front. Was a little loud some times since there was an event in the back but wasn't an issue at all and will for sure be back soon. Their happy hour deal is incredible! read more

Super cute concept for a wine bar. It's a small, intimate space but wasn't busy at all when we came on a Friday night. We opted for the wine flights (a must in my opinion) and enjoyed the "Bartender's Choice" of pours. Server was knowledgeable about the wines which I always appreciate. They also had a basic selection of shareable food bites & the pesto flatbread hit the spot. I thought the bouquet building option was also a cute touch. We did one as a group (more on the pricey side as expected) and it came out nicely. Overall was a nice experience for a quiet Friday night with girlfriends. read more

Went there for a wine and food pairing event. It is such a cute space! They have some lounge seating in the front, a bar that you can sit around and then more of an event space/flower making area in the back. Our host was really nice and the lady working at the bar that refilled drinks was too. I'd definitely come back and try more wines since I liked the ones at the event. read more

Service, wine, food, and vibes all amazing! Came here with my partner to check the place out and it was such a cute little spot. Immediately as we walked in Kaya welcomed us in and talked us over where we could sit. There was even a paint and sip going on--SO CUTE! We ended up getting their board and bottle deal. They have a simple selection of different wines that stretch across the west coast. Kaya was so sweet, and talked us through the menu--even helped us get some food in right before the kitchen closed! Later she even gave us a cute little bouquet of flowers :,) Such a fun spot, and definitely recommend to give it a try! read more

As usual, the wine tasting event on the first Wednesday of the month was great! In fact, the wine was so good that I bought a bottle! This is a great club to belong to because you get a bottle of wine every month plus 4 glasses and I have made some nice friends at this place... It's always a social event and they also have some good snack. He food that you also get a discount on when you are a member! I highly recommend it! read more

Excellent service. Great wine lounge ambiance. The best wine tasting happy hour in town! Great appetizers and boards! read more

Nice concept combining wine and flowers, but unfortunately it feels like a complete ripoff. The service was just average, nothing memorable, and the wine selection was surprisingly limited. The food, however, was the biggest disappointment. I ordered the goat cheese and fig flatbread--something that should be simple to execute--but it was poorly done. The dough was undercooked, topped with a handful of arugula, a few crumbs of goat cheese, and sparse slices of fig that were so dry they were chewy. To make matters worse, the bill automatically includes a 20% service charge, which honestly felt undeserved given the overall experience. Definitely not worth the price. read more

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! read more

Cork & Stem is such a charming hidden gem! It's part wine bar, part florist--and somehow manages to be perfect at both. The space is beautifully curated, with fresh blooms everywhere and a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. I came here with a few friends for a bouquet-making experience, and it was such a fun and unique night. You get to sip wine while creating your own custom bouquet (they have tons of gorgeous flowers to choose from), and the staff is super helpful if you need guidance. Their wine selection is also fantastic--thoughtfully picked and reasonably priced. Whether you're planning a cute date, a girls' night, or just want to treat yourself, Cork & Stem is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. read more

Absolutely loved my time here. Came for the wine and ended up with some flowers. I had the mini flight. It was one red. One white. One rose. I mentioned to the server that I wasn't a fan of the red and she let me taste two others that are her favorite and I got a chance to expand my palette. She was super dope. Just forgot her name unfortunately. Came on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm and it was about a quarter full (both inside at the tables and bar as well as outside on the patio) but by time we left it was starting to fill in. Enjoyed the vibes. It was soft colors and felt cozy on the couch. There's a bar in the middle and the flowers were on the back wall. There are other things you can buy such as coasters. I'd absolutely come back again. read more

Wine and flower bar, that also serves food. Made my own small bouquet - this was a fun activity to do! I paid $14 and it included 1 "focal flower," 2 secondary flowers, and 2 pieces of greenery. Tried some of my friend's flatbread - felt a bit disappointed due to the sparse toppings. The staff was so friendly and helpful! They checked in when needed and were available to answer our questions. Great idea for a gals night. read more

QUICK TAKE// A perfect little open, comfortable wine tasting space in the heart of University Avenue! Wine? Flowers? Food? What more could you want? FOOD// My boyfriend and I got a SHAREABLE CHARCUTERIE ($30) and it blew us away with the size and variety! We personally substituted any crackers that would when come with the board with more vegetables. We also each got a WINE SLUSHIE and it was so refreshing! They even made my slushie into a WINE FLOAT - you can do this if there was a particular wine you wanted to drink with the slushie. SERVICE// Absolutely immaculate. I had the pleasure of meeting JENNA the owner of the establishment and she really took care of us. She educated us about the different wines and small businesses that their company partners up with. You can just feel that this place was a big passion project. VIBES// A really cute spot that is easy to meet up at, has a ton of seating, well decorated, has food along with drinks...this place just has become an instant favorite. This place also operated as a flower shop. I made my own little bouquet and it was just a lovely experience. ETC// Because of the prime location of the business, parking is pretty scarce! So plan accordingly - nearby neighborhoods and some metered parking are around. read more

We've been regulars at Cork and Stem ever since they took over the former Record Family Wines space, and it's been a fun journey getting to watch them transform this space. The space has been beautifully reimagined, and the vibe is incredibly welcoming. One thing that really stands out is the kindness and grace the owner and staff bring to every interaction (whether positive and negative) it's genuinely heartwarming and something the world could use more of. The wine menu is thoughtfully curated and evolves with the seasons, while still keeping a few favorites on hand. For those who aren't into wine, there are great options such as beer, kombucha, and even a dealcoholized sparkling rosé. The food offerings hit all the right notes for a wine bar: flatbreads, sandwiches, shareable apps, and of course, cheese and charcuterie boards that pair perfectly with your glass. Now for the florals, something I wasn't familiar with at first, but have come to love thanks to their Bottle & Bloom club and floral workshops. The owner and lead florists are amazing educators and are always happy to guide you in building your own bouquet if you need a little direction. Cork and Stem is truly a gem as part wine bar, part floral studio, all heart. read more

Cork and Stem! It's such a cute and charming winery, and it's my go-to spot whenever friends visit me from Los Angeles. The staff is amazing--they always have the best wine suggestions, and every recommendation has been spot on. The wine itself is delicious, but what really makes this place special is the vibe. I love that there's a section for building flower bouquets--it adds such a fun and unique touch. And let's talk about the charcuterie board--it was incredible! I still think about it, haha. Overall, this is an adorable and welcoming spot with great wine, great service, and great ambiance. Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely Outstanding Service & Beautiful Arrangements! I can't say enough great things about Cork and Stem! I placed an order for a Valentine's Day flower arrangement for my wife, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the start, the communication was top-notch--the owner personally reached out to confirm the order and delivery window. When I mentioned we had dinner plans and hoped for an earlier delivery, they made it happen without hesitation. What really stood out was the extra effort: they sent a photo of the arrangement in the morning, kept me updated, and I'm pretty sure the owner even delivered it personally. The flowers? Absolutely stunning. My wife said it was the best arrangement she's ever received! Cork and Stem is now our go-to flower shop in San Diego (Hillcrest/University Heights area). If you're looking for a florist that truly cares, communicates, and delivers beyond expectations, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend! read more

My husband took me to Cork and Stem for an afternoon date, and it was such a charming experience! The concept of sipping wine and making a flower bouquet is unique and made our time feel extra special. The space itself was beautifully organized and aesthetically pleasing, perfect for a relaxed daytime outing or a cozy night out. Our server, Angel, truly lived up to his name. He greeted us warmly, provided helpful recommendations, and was very attentive, making sure we felt cared for even though the bar had other patrons. I had a mango pineapple kombucha, which was both refreshing and generously portioned. My husband tried a flight of wines, and each one was deliciously refined. At the end of the afternoon, we made a lovely bouquet to take home as a memento of our time there. I can absolutely see myself coming back, either for a fun ladies' afternoon/night or even organizing a social event with my church. Well done, Cork and Stem! I can't wait to return with others and share my experience with them! read more
