We had the best time here! Carson was awesome! Super inviting and knowledgeable about the wine. 10/10 will come back. We live in San Diego and we Bought two tastings and bottles of wine. Ask for Carson if you come in! read more

I was here on Sunday . I had a tasty bubbly rose. The owner is engaging and welcoming. It pretty busy when I went . I don't think you need reservations. They will accommodate you. The only thing I didn't like was the head, banging music. I don't think Black Sabbath is meant to be played at a winery , but it's just my opinion . read more

I took my wife here for her birthday and honestly had the best time. We both love wine so much and we've been all over for wine and these were truly at the top of the list we have had. JJ's story was so cool his love for wine truly comes through in the product. It was so cool to do the guided tasting I learned so much about different wines and got to ask so many questions I've had. I would 100% recommend Laguna canyon winery! Thank you JJ and Carson! read more

Laguna Canyon Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I am sorry to give a lower review. I typically only review when it's an experience that is worth repeating. I have read good things about this winery so take this with a grain of salt I believe wine tastings are an experience between the customer, the pourer and the others enjoying wine. This winery does the automated pours with a card. It's to sterile non relational and doesn't inspire a purchase. My experiences in wine tasting is not judged strictly on the wine but all of the above. With that said, we did not taste any reserves so likely that's where the great wine we are placed. We did classic wine tasting at $35 a person which I believe is over priced for a self service 2oz pour, I did enjoy the Grenache. Likely I would have purchased a bottle had there been any connection with staff. My suggestion to mgmt is to ditch the self pour. I have done wine tasting more times than I can count, this is not the type of experience that will produce the sales you want. Sorry to say, just an opinion though I think getting back to your roots would serve you well read more

WINE/FOOD 9/10 Very nice selection of rose, white wines, and reds. I liked almost everything and definitely identified a favorite. Every pour was a nice temperature and the bottles that ran empty were very quickly replaced by staff with a new bottle. Although I would've enjoyed more than 1 sparkling wine in the dispenser, they had a nice variety from medium to full bodied wines, lighter to heavier, drier to sweeter, etc. Everyone will find a favorite! We identified there seemed to be some self-serve boxes of crackers for $7 each, salami and prosciutto for $15 each, and cheese blocks for $15 each. I would have enjoyed if this was advertised on the menu and if they had more "assembled" charcuterie options. Or, at least, a whole set you could buy as one to assemble yourself rather than having to buy crackers, meat, and cheese separately. Felt very "grocery store," and honestly are better off going there for bites to eat. PRICE 9/10 My fiance and I purchased a Groupon for $44 for a self-paced wine tasting. Their automated wine dispensers allowed us to drink at our own pace and swipe a card worth $36 of wine, per person. We enjoyed this tasting method allowed us to have more of what we really loved and less of we didn't prefer. Their lower tier options are $4 for 1oz, $8 for 2oz, and I believe there was an option above that. Higher tier was $5 for 1oz and $10 for 2oz. Thus, you're paying $44 (or the current Groupon price) for 7-9oz of wine PER PERSON. We felt like that was reasonable, equating to about 4 total standard pour glasses of wine. Both of us didn't want any more walking out. I noticed their menu on the tables had 5 tastings of 2oz pours for $35 PER PERSON. Thus, it was $44 for us on Groupon, would have been $70 for us to pay direct for 1-3oz more oz of wine each. Knocked a point of because actual wineries sometimes offer FREE tastings because they make most of their profit on purchasing bottles. SERVICE 10/10 (depends on your personality) I called the day before and although my call was missed, I received a call back within 10 minutes answering my questions about how to use the Groupon. I was able to use my Groupon code, after purchased, to book a reservation on their website the day before. When we arrived, we were greeted by a newer employee who was unfamiliar with how to locate our reservation, however it was squared away quickly and we were able to choose any seat. The male employee was nice, checked in on us once and offered a complementary pour of a nice sparkling wine. When our 1hr reservation was over, we were pleased that there was no pressure to leave and were able to trickle out 20-30mins past time. Of note, this is self-served and totally independent. Although questions are very much welcomed, is not the tasting room if you want a guided tasting with wine education and information. It's great for those who want to do their own thing, chit-chat, etc. Perfect for us to talk uninterrupted! LOCATION 10/10 Free parking in the lot out front. The free Laguna Trolley is only a 5m walk away and takes you anywhere down PCH in Laguna....just saying. AMBIANCE 10/10 The tasting room is beautiful, inviting, comfortable, and air-conditioned with high-top as well as lower-table, ample seating. The restroom is a single room that is code-locked (for customers only) and is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and smelled very nice. read more

Laguna Canyon Winery - 5/25/25 - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Self-paced wine tasting allows you to explore wines at your own time and without a guided tour. This means you can choose which wines to sample, at what pace, and even whether to sip, savor, or spit the samples. (8-12) wines choices. Red wines and white wines, private wine blends were nice to sample. Amazing location. A short drive from Laguna Beach. read more

This is a great little winery right off the 133. The rolling hills and canyon down to the ocean are iconic California. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have one of the best white wine blends I have ever tasted. It's a great stop if you have a night out or just want to do some tasting without a multi-hour drive to the central coast or Temecula valley. read more

We had a great time very easy to get to wines were great! Celebrating girlfriend took the trolley definitely recommend read more

J.J. is AMAZING, I initially got my tickets off of Groupon to do a wine tasting for my honeymoon and when I tell you I learned how to properly taste wine and find the notes and bouquets - I've found a newfound love and appreciation for wine. They also can ship wine to you and have an option for you to sign up for a wine membership. This is the best experience! Whether you like red or white wine, you will end up appreciating the uniqueness of both. read more

Super cute winery! Small(er) but spacious and seats available for bigger parties. Great wine and good rock n roll music. Offers cheeses to try with wines as well. Self service automatic wine dispensers, go at your own pace. read more

JJ is great and he is definitely an enthusiast. He drives the truck and brings the grapes from Napa and Sonoma. Thats called dedication. He will show you a video of his process when you sit down for wine tasting. He also has 80s rock music/music video playing on his big screen. Inside the place was clean and love the little wine pouring machines he has. He goes from whites to reds left to right. JJ said he is one of the not many wineries that crushes their own grapes and he has a machine inside the store. He also drank with us as the day we went was quiet Tuesday. He said he changed his souvenir glasses that comes with Groupon deal to bigger size as the smaller one was braking easily so he upgraded. He also has crackers and cheese you can purchase with your wine tasting. Also has pretty descriptive wine lists on the table. We ended up purchasing a bottle to bring home. Lot of their reds they have tasted little dry for me so I ended up bringing Moscato home. read more

A Hidden Gem with Heart (and Great Rosé!) I had such a wonderful experience at Laguna Canyon Winery! The space is intimate, friendly, and laid-back--perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine after a day in Laguna. I especially fell in love with their Rosé of Pinot Noir--it's crisp, beautifully balanced, and absolutely perfect for a sunny day. But what truly made it special? Proceeds from this wine go toward suppirting homeless pets. As both a wine lover and a dog lover, that completely won me over. read more

Ambiance: The music videos of ROCK are my favorite and so unique as I've never seen this before at a winery. I prefer it over the quiet music in a tasting room, plus this music matches the energy that the owner, JJ, brings when you walk in this place. Wine: Cuvée, Syrah (both Reserve and Non Reserve), and Due Viti Sangiovese/Cab, are my Favorites. JJ personally picks his own grapes from the Sonoma valley and nearby and drives them back down to OC and does the wine process in OC. Very good wine! You can go at your own pace with his wine machine set ups, and you get a wide variety to choose from. read more

This place is a must. My mother was having her milestone 60th birthday and I wanted to find a place that I could host a casual get together with friends and family. I called around to different wineries all around (Temecula, Escondido, Silverado), but this place really stood out. J.J. was an amazing host. He and his staff went out of their way to accommodate us and welcome us into their establishment. All of our guests raved about this place and will absolutely be back. We had such a remarkable experience and I know my mother was very, very happy. Thank you Laguna Canyon Winery! read more

From Chicago, and I'm no wine connoisseur, but my daughter wanted to go wine tasting on her graduation day! She picked LCW, and we called to find out how it works. We ended up buying a card for each of us ($25) that gives you credits you can use to try different wines. My wife and I got there early and met a couple from Phoenix who bought us another card on their way out : ) When my daughter and her friend arrived, we had a blast trying the different wines. The Chaparral ended up being our favorite! The girl running the store gave my daughter a free wine glass for graduation. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely amazing! We did a private wine tour with reserve wines, and the owner educated us with everything wine-related. With a glass of rosé to begin, we had multiple samples of their reserve wines, and more than enough wine to keep us satiated. Highly, highly recommend this tour for a personal but educational tour of a local and urban wine experience! read more
