This is a calm, quaint little spot down at the Depot-End of town that's perfect if you want a tasty meal and some good wine(s). They have a Pickle Pizza (don't knock it 'til you try it) that is just out of this world! I honestly haven't had anything bad there. They also have a decent selection of beers to choose from, in case wine isn't your thing. There is both indoor and outdoor seating for whatever your preference is. The patio is well-covered, so if anyone is trying to stay out of the sun, they've thought of that. Kelly took care of my friend and I, as we decided to go to Claremont instead of braving the crowds at The Upland Lemon Festival this past Sunday. Kelly was an absolute ray of sunshine and took great care of us. We spent a good amount of the afternoon chilling on their patio sipping on Sangiovese, and snacking on the Corn & Tortilla Dip, as well as the Pork Belly appetizer. All were wonderful! NOTE: For the next month or two, their menu will be slightly limited, as they are renovating their kitchen. There's still PLENTY of great stuff to choose from and enjoy, though. read more

A month later .... Officially a regular at Grafted Cellars. Obsessed with every edible item on their menu so I'm here on a weekly basis. Omar the bartender is still as wonderful as Day One. I was finally able to figure out his last name. (It wasn't given out willingly and he made me guess after dropping a single hint). Will be on my way to collect my free bottle of wine for the month of June. Grafted Cellars is such a lovely place. I've met new friends as well as reunited with old ones. So glad I've found a place to be able to call "my hangout". read more

Came here on a Thursday evening for pizza. We were seated outside, which was such a vibe. Twinkle lights, wooden furniture, and succulents made it really cozy. It wasn't very busy, though there was a paint night happening inside, which was fun to see. We ordered two pizzas, but the wait ended up being about 40 minutes, which was much longer than expected. When the pizzas finally arrived (we got the pickle pizza and the charcuterie), they were definitely flavorful, but a bit too salty for our taste. We ended up taking most of it home and eating it with lots of water on the side. Maybe we should have come here for the wine instead of the pizza since that's what the name of this place suggests. read more

I've been to Grafted Cellars in Claremont a couple times with my girlfriends, and we always have such a great time, especially because of the fun menu items and events! Weekly Events: Grafted Cellars regularly hosts various events throughout the week, such as pictionary, paint nights, and trivia. My friends and I have come by to participate in trivia several times, and always leave looking forward to the next event. The trivia questions and categories are always well thought out and can be incredibly niche (which is a good thing, especially for trivia aficionados -- I can't count the number of times I've heard "What is the tallest mountain range in the world?" at other trivia sessions. It gets old.) Ambiance: The interior is so cute! There's a bit of a cozy cottage vibe going on, with the exposed beams and how intimate the space feels. Service: The servers are friendly and check in just the right amount -- enough to ensure that you get your drink/food orders in regularly, but not too much (to distract from the trivia at hand lol). Food/Drinks: Our go-to order is normally the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, which is made fresh to order and comes to the table piping hot. Also, it seems that seasonally, Grafted Cellars comes up with some fun wine flights and pairings -- we especially enjoyed the Valentine's candy and Girl Scout cookie pairings. Such a nice way to have a little bit of whimsy while catching up with friends. Parking: Parking can be a little tricky, since there's only so much street parking shared amongst all the boutiques and restaurants that are concentrated in this area. But I find that I'm normally able to find something within a reasonable amount of time if I circle around the block a couple times. All in all, always a fun time! My friends' and my go-to spot for good wine, good conversation, and good trivia! read more

Food 4 Ambiance 5 Service 4.5 Great spot near the colleges. Very reasonable prices. The pizza crusts was delicious. But our pizza was too sweet. The wines are very introductory and basic . There's no explanation of what they are. You're given a list and you pick. The service staff is there for food and not the wine experience. I recommend going there for the food and trying wines that you may like but don't expect a wine tasting experience. I will be back for the food. Try it out. Bon appetit read more

Menu was limited. It's very small. Every time we've gone there's never any seating! Foods okay. Seems like it's geared for drinking mostly. Parking is hard to find. read more

The wine was good, but the pizza was not. We got the mushroom and sausage pizza. It was overly salty, and the crust was so thin you had to support it to eat it like a pizza. It just wasn't good. Disappointed that the other Yelpers steered us wrong on this. The charcuterie board was OK. When we were leaving another patron had a huge salad that looked good. I wished we would have tried that instead. We won't be back here. Our server was great, hence the 3 stars read more

Trivia: I was totally unaware of the grafting act with wines from Europe in America. According to their website, how long has grafting been happening to "solve a worldwide hardship in grape growing?" I've been to Claremont twice in my life. I've been to Grafted Cellars both times. On the first visit I made the mistake of leaving without a couple bottles of their wine. I didn't make that mistake the second time. I had delicious wines during both visits. The complimentary tasting flight (because my friend is a wine club member) was superb. The vegetarian charcuterie plate full of cheeses and breads and spreads perfectly complimented the wines. Highly recommend! read more

My wife loves coming here for their goat cheese & pear pizza. The wine is good and they have an intimate ambiance in both the indoor and outdoor dining areas. And for those who prefer beer over wine, I find their IPA is really good! read more

Cannot say enough about this place! The wine- awesome! The food- delicious! The staff- amazing! Join the wine club it's so worth it!

We visited for the first time yesterday and really enjoyed the wine, food and atmosphere. They were having a trivia night which we did not take part of, but it seemed like everyone was really enjoying the game and a lot of regulars. They have a wide variety of wines and helpful tasting notes you can look up with a QR code. We did a Groupon for two wine flights and a half charcuterie which was a great deal especially with it being our first visit. The half board charcuterie was a very generous portion. We also tried the hot honey pizza which was very fresh and delicious. They offer indoor, outdoor and bar seating. We will definitely be back to try some more food and wines. read more

We randomly discovered this place walking around Claremont Village. I have been to Claremont Village many times. And it was my first time spotting this hidden gem. It's such a cute spot. Perfect place to grab brunch and a drink with friends and catch up. There are indoor and outdoor sitting. But I would say outdoor was more lively. I only had couple of drinks here. I will come back for food next time. Also, the service was excellent. Friendly staffs! read more

Grafted has become one of our go-to places in Claremont. The wines and beer are great, a little something for everyone. The food is delicious (try the pickle pizza, seriously, it works). What keeps us coming back on the regular though is the staff. They are amazing. They always greet everyone with a smile and try to go above and beyond to make your visit enjoyable. Whether you're a first timer or a regular, they treat you ĺike an old friend. My husband and I tend to sit at the bar because that's how we roll. Their patio is comfy, cozy, and dog friendly and the dining room is inviting, especially for private events. Highly recommend! read more

We came here for our monthly book club meeting. It was a bit chilly out on the patio and I saw a few mosquitoes as well. I really wish restaurants would be sure to spray their outdoor areas if they are promoting dining outside. I look forward to returning and trying out the inside. Because we were outdoors my brie wasn't melting it was cold and chunky and the baguette may have been warm but it wasn't with being served outside. Just something to keep in mind if you are out on the Patio. The interiors looked really nice and the ambiance of the Patio area is very inviting. Probably will be perfect during the summer months. The Lemon Drop was FAN-EFFING-TASTIC! Service was patient... we were a group of over 20 (I believe) sitting in a U-shape. Definitely would like to stop in some other time. Respectfully Reviewed. read more

I was craving some wine and charcuterie today and decided to try out Grafted Cellars. Located in the heart of Claremont, it was a quaint place. I sat at the bar for my wine tasting. I decided to embark on a wine flight. It was $25 for 5 wines that you can try out. I tried out the rose and a couple of different red blends. The wines were pretty good, but my favorite was the Pinot Noir casked in a Woodford Bourbon. I ordered extra bread for my charcuterie plate and was charged a hefty fee for that. Also, at the end, I didn't understand why I wasn't shown my receipt before I paid for my bill. read more

Went again and took my family. Elizabeth you are soo kind. Thank you for making it a nice experience for my family. It means the world.

Wines ok, but they don't make up for the icy service. I agree with all the other commenters, service is cold. I got "Ali" who barely looked at me, never engaged in conversation even though I was sitting at the bar and it was absolutely empty in the place. Very business-only. Management needs to realize that hospitality business also involves smiles and engagement with the customers. IMO "Ali" should be fired. read more

What I had: - Warm brie and baguette with honey ($14) - Hot honey pizza ($22) - Sausage and mushroom pizza ($22) - Avocado turkey panini ($16) - Caprese ($14) - Acacia white blend ($11 for the glass) - Riesling amphora ($14) How it tasted: - I have enjoyed pretty much everything I've eaten and drank here. No complaints at all. Why did I give it a five? - It's a quaint indoor and outdoor space that allows dogs, which is a plus for my family. The servers have always been thorough with their suggestions, prompt with service, and overall kind. Verdict? - Give it a shot if you're in the Claremont village area. read more

Popped in for a flight in October and left with two bottles of wine. This is a fun place with a nice patio for sipping. Check their calendar when you're in - we'll be back for some of their interesting events. read more

I cannot tell you what a joy it is to hang out at Grafted. Cellars. Aside from the delicious wines and yummy food, the staff there is top notch; especially Allie, who always goes out of her way to make us feel at home and valued. I am continually amazed how she balances the many hats she wears, especially trivia night, which has become so popular among, not only the regulars, but the newbies as well. You gotta stop by and introduce yourself to Allie and the rest of the staff. They are the best! read more

Since I live in the area, I decided to revisit Grafted Cellars since I was in the mood for pizza but not from Pizza N Such. I'm glad I came here because I tried the goat cheese and honey squares, and boy was that a rich appetizer, and in a good way! I love goat cheese. I'm also a fan of honey, so why not the two? Exactly! Try this before you have your pizza. It's awesome. I had the same pizza as I had the first time, and it was made just right. No complaints here. The combination of the two made for a perfect meal. I wasn't hungry still or overly full. The serving sizes were perfect The walk back home was much slower. Food coma was strong this time around. Enjoy if you come here! read more

Cute place in a nice area in Claremont. It's busy but not overly packed and service is quick. I found the hot honey pizza intriguing, but also not sure about it, but I felt adventurous today and gave it a try. It was really good. The honey is not very spicy and not too sweet, it is very subtle. It's a thin pizza, with great flavor, I love a good cheese sauce ratio and they nailed it. I would come back again for this pizza. I'm home still thinking about this pizza. The brownie dessert has a crust on top of the brownie. It was ok, I would try the cookies next time. Wine was also good. Nice staff. read more

Came to this location for a date night. I enjoyed the ambiance. The staff was attentive. We ordered the CHEESE & CHARCUTERIE Board. It was enjoyable and filling for the price. We got a flight of wines. However, out of the five choices I was most excited to try-- they had ran out of two wines. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience for those who enjoy wine tasting. read more

Everything is awesome at grafted. Have not had 1 bad meal there! Every dish is fantastically prepared!

Decided to come in since I was in the area and a glass of wine sounded like a great idea. First of all, super cute area and building. Loved the vibe that was going on. Since it was cold AF and pretty busy, I opted to sit at the bar. I ordered the Hot Honey Pepperoni and went dealer's choice on the accompanying wine thanks to the recommendation by my server Greg. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Pizza was solid and the wine was chef's kiss. I enjoyed myself so much that I left with a bottle to take home. Shout out to Greg for sharing his knowledge and recommendation when it came to the food and wine pairing. 10/10 will stop by again when in the area. read more

I Iove everything about this place. I have been a member for 11 months and love to see how Grafted has continued to evolve. Their wine? Amazing. The selection is vast and exceptional. The service? Incredible. We have gotten to know many of the employees. They are kind, attentive and friendly. The food? We have tried pretty much everything on their menu at this point. The cheese board is massive, great to share. The hot honey pizza is one of their best items. Plus, they have a constant changing seasonal menu that has had some delicious items (artichoke salad & ahi salad to name my favorites so far). There are a plethora of seating choices with the cutest patio. It's the perfect spot for just a drink, a girls night or date night. I cannot recommend Grafted enough and will continue to tell everyone I know how much I love this place! read more

Nice place for wine, but lacks warmth and friendliness. The employees are just icy and it doesn't make for a nice visit. And I quote "to each his own," yeah well, friendliness is considered universal and essential in the service industry. They truly don't seem to give a damn about clientele, just your money. Too many nice places to spend your time or money here. read more
