Patio

A friend recommended Jax Tasting Room, and we've since become regulars especially for their Friday night Jax Jams. It's a great spot. they frequently host local musicians and fun food pop-ups, so checking their website for upcoming events is worth it and booking a reservation. The tasting room itself is on the small side but that's part of its charm it feels intimate, quaint, and really inviting in the city. A perfect low-key spot for a relaxed night out.

Made a reservation for last Saturday afternoon at 4pm. We got lucky as the first ones in and seated next to the fireplace! Pretty full from a late lunch, we started out with 2 flights. Neither of us loved the last 2 drinks and ordered a glass of the first one - guess we like our drinks light! We thought it might get more crowded as time went on but it was pretty quiet between 4-6:30pm. There were 5 parties including us throughout the whole time we were there. Good service throughout, affordable pricing. Maybe there wasn't a crowd because of the cold, and since we didn't stay past dinner time. Blankets might be a nice touch. Did think it was cool how they partner with Rooh, would definitely order some appetizers next time and plan accordingly!

Amazing place!

JAX is the place to be before a night game or after a day game in SF! All you SF Giants fans, win or lose, come enjoy moments and memories with some amazing wine, family, friends, and charcuterie boards. Chill location. Fantastic wines (try their Pinot)! And an amazing atmosphere! Ditch the loud, chaotic scene of the local bars, walk a block from Oracle, and enjoy ambiance and amazing service! When the owner buys you a beer to use their bathroom when the place isn't even open yet.. you can't bypass this place. They go above and beyond!

Charcuterie

We booked this place for a company happy hour event, it was such a wonderful experience. The people here were super nice and sweet, and the booking process was wonderfully smooth. For around 30 people, everyone was able to receive around 4 to 5 cups of wine, as well as a wonderfully laid out charcuterie board. Each person was around $40. The environment was also wonderful, we booked the outdoor patio and everyone has such a wonderful time here!

This is a nice, cozy wine bar with a welcoming ambiance. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot whether you're looking for a relaxed indoor vibe or fresh air while you sip. I ordered a wine flight, which included three tastings, and each selection was well-curated and enjoyable. The servers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the wines in detail and answer any questions we had.

Why go to wine country when wine country comes to San Francisco and it's a Vineyard by the park. South Park has been a hidden gem for decades in San Francisco and that's where you find Jax Vineyards over a block away in South Beach ( the SF neighborhood, not Miami). I had a chance to attend SF Tech week at Jax Vineyards. This was a good pit stop for the evening to grab some good local wine . My favorite type of bar for the open wine bar with a tasting room. The weather in San Francisco turned cooler and this was the spot for outdoor drinking . I first was offered the Pinot Noir Rosé which had a good smooth taste. Then there was the Chardonnay which was a good early evening booster. Then I had to get my Pinot Noir which was tasty and complemented the cheese board with prosciutto and some savory crackers. Throughout the event the wine kept on pouring and colors of wines kept on changing and mixing . Jax Vineyard gets its wine locally from Calistoga ( the city not the former mineral water company). After multiple pourings I had a chance to learn about how Artificial Intelligence may mitigates threats for the preparation of the USA elections coming in a few weeks( during and after the fact). Control Risks is helping in the Security risk global environment. Shout out to Control Risks for this fun and informative event at Jax Vineyards. I had a relaxing time and felt transported to a wine garden in a great outdoor and indoor atmosphere with good people from all around the world in San Francisco, one sip at a time. Discover Jax Vineyard in San Francisco and do a wine tasting that's up to par outdoors and inside at the bar Try their Cabernet Sauvignon , Chardonnay, and their Pinot Noir

This is a fantastic wine tasting destination with a beautiful atmosphere and excellent service. I stopped in for a glass of wine and absolutely loved the place and their selection. I highly recommend visiting and trying their Pinot Noir. I can't remember the exact name, but it starts with the letter 'C'.

Indoor seating by the fire
Jess B.

Aside from my dog being named JAX, I knew I would like this place after a drive by. Viewable from the street, the ambiance of this tucked away and quiet little winery is felt as you walk in under Edison lights paired with fresh greenery and mellow music. The staff is young and friendly, I've even brought my daughter in here and they gave her some of their metal wine bottle stamps to play with and take home! This place is a no-brainer if you are looking to wind down on a Friday after work with wine. My fiancé rarely drinks Whites and this is the only place he will purchase bottles of Chardonnay (you could call him a wine enthusiast to say the least). Keep in mind the hours of operation are limited and only open from 4-8pm Wednesday-Saturday.

Helps people know what's around
Logan K.

If I could be honest everything was perfect but the cheese board could use some work. Maybe olive bread instead of crackers and throw me some blue or Brie

two glasses of wine and a bottle of wine
Stacy K.

A super cute tasting room in San Francisco with friendly folks who work there. I'm especially partial to their red blend and Cabernet. A great place to stop by and relax, enjoy, and treat yourself to a glass (or bottle) of wine. They're currently doing a special where you can purchase bottles of wine to go at 25-50% off!

When we were in…read moreSan Francisco, we wanted to have a nice lunch on the pier, close to the ship, and have a wine tasting. We have previously visited San Francisco and have had wine tastings in Napa/Sonoma a couple of times. On this trip, we wanted to go to a tasting close to the ship. In our research, we found the Winery Collective which had excellent reviews. We made reservations for our day of arrival and after a lunch. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Mike who conducted our tastings. Mike told us that the Winery Collective had wines from small boutique wineries from different California regions. There were several tastings from which we could choose, or a customized tasting could be presented based upon our likes. One could also choose a glass of available wines. My wife chose the Sweet Life tasting of 5 wines for $25. I chose Mix It Up which had a variety of award winning wines for $25. Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. He talked about each of the wines that were tasted and possible food pairings. He answered all of our questions. At the end, Mike also gave me a tasting of 2 additional wines that I requested. Before leaving, I purchased a couple of bottles to take back to the ship. I wanted to buy more, but had a limit on the number that I could take back onboard. The Winery Collective was easy to find and a short walk from the ship after lunch on the pier. After tastings in Napa/Sonoma, we are very happy that we went to the Winery Collective and met Mike. We would definitely visit again.

To set the scene, there was only one woman working, and we were understanding that service might be slow due to this. The woman was friendly, but her behavior during a few interactions was quite off-putting. First, we ordered happy hour wine flights. The woman mentioned she might be busy and explained that she'll come around to pour the wines in one glass for us since the other glasses were hot. She was proactive after we finished our first glass, pouring us the second into our first glasses. However, when it came to the third wine, we found it strange that she brought us a mini carafe of Cabernet while we weren't even halfway through our second wine. This inconsistency was a bit odd, especially since she told us upfront she'd pour for us after each round. The second interaction was the most peculiar. My friend and I were ready to pay and waved the woman over. She approached us with a long receipt in hand, asking if we wanted our receipt. Assuming she was referring to the bill, we said yes. However, she became visibly confused when she realized she was handing us another table's receipt. She spent the next two minutes engaging in a back-and-forth conversation with us, arguing that we couldn't be asking for a receipt, that the receipt she had initially brought us belonged to another table, and that we still needed to pay. My friend and I were pretty offended at the last comment about us "still needing to pay", because that was exactly our intention in waving her over. During this exchange, I was completely dumbfounded, and she remarked, "You look mad, are you mad?" I didn't appreciate the comment about my face, especially since she was the one who was confused. She also mentioned that she was the only one working that day and had made an exception to order us food. This comment was also odd because the other parties around us had also ordered charcuterie boards. Finally, as she was closing us out using the point-of-sale system, she refused to let me hold the device to enter my tip privately (we had tipped 20%). She insisted that she had to hold the device due to "WiFi issues". However, every time I've visited a dine-in restaurant with the same point-of-sale device, the waiters have simply handed it over to us. This entire interaction was incredibly strange. Despite the unusual service, the venue is cute, airy and lively, and I genuinely enjoyed all of the wines that we tried in the flight. They were flavorful, fuller bodied, and delicious. We're disappointed that we had to leave with a sour and confusing taste in our mouths, and can't say we'd come back based on this experience.

I met here with an acquaintance to discuss something important over drinks & we had a special time. The nature of our discussion was certainly influenced in a relaxed manner by the mild volume music playing, soft lighting, and high ceilings. The interior was beautiful, very custom lighting covers & wooden racks. Somewhat large selection of wines/sake but it wasn't overwhelming due to the simplified menu that they provided. Service was top tier, a server stopped by about three times to collect empty containers, refill water, and check-in about how the drinks were. With a friendly expression on their face each time. The lucky dog sake juice box and beer combo was SUUUUCH a good move! I've been a fan of the lucky dog/cat/chicken brand, for their fun packaging of beers. However, I did not know that they craft sake wine boxes too. That is out of this world! And I believe that, to use a baseball metaphor, they "hit the ball out of the park!" On this one. The beer wasn't half bad either. Would I recommend going to Millay? Hell yeah dude!!!

It's not too far from the main street in the area, and the moment I got out of my uber, I knew this place would be a vibe! I came here at 7:30pm the day after Christmas, so it was empty. I love the vibe of Millay - artsy decor, pink neon lights, and cute seats to sit in. I tried two different types of clean + fruity sake, and it came in such a cute ceramics! The cashier helped us choose, and we were able to taste it before purchasing. I also loved their basket of Asian chips! They even made it a lil fancy by cutting the top and making it look like a bowl haha. A great spot for a small social gathering of 2-4 people. I love the chill vibes and intimate setting. I will defs be back!

The brewery and tasting room is located in an industrial part of the city. Upon arriving you walk right into the brewery and head to the tasting area in the back where tables are set up right next to the actual brewery. Flights are $15 each and we worked our way through all of them. They offer quite a range and our favorite was the spicy flight. Each flight came with a detailed explanation of what we were tasting... covering the brewing process, alcohol content, and food pairings for each sake... and there was plenty of room for questions. That kind of walkthrough makes a real difference, especially if you're newer to sake. You leave actually knowing something. A few things: there's a small bites menu, but you can bring your own snacks as long as you take your trash with you when you leave. Dogs are not allowed. There's plenty of free street parking. Tastings are only on Saturdays and first come first serve. I also can't rave enough about the owners who have a way of giving each group their full attention even when the room is full. Pricing is fair for what you're getting. The sake is genuinely good, and joining the club was an easy decision... members receive perks such as free flights and a discount when purchasing product. We can't wait to visit again.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable as well. I came in with a specific ask and they pointed me in the right direction. I also asked for some recommendations and he pulled a few bottles, all under $40. A super fun shop in Pac Heights. Two things that I wish were different, but perhaps just isn't written in the cards: (1) A lot of the wines are very high up on the shelves, which makes casual perusing very difficult. Asking the staff to climb up and grab random bottles just feels like a big ask. I personally like looking at the importer, ABV, and other details on the label to help me shop and this is only possible for about 50% of the wines that are accessible without a ladder; (2) Unfortunately, they no longer allow guests to purchase a bottle to drink in the shop, which is unfortunate because I love browsing the shelves at Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant and finding a bottle to open up in the shop to drink. If you're looking for a great bottle shop to pick up something to drink at home or to give as a gift, this is a great spot. Where else are you going to find old bottles of vintage Cinzano?!
