The view on the patio bar is awesome. Oceanfront. Some food items w/ wine & non alcoholic drinks. Service was pleasant, but be patient staff like to converse with tables upon check-in & there's no hostess. They offer Tap pay via the Toast app & cashier processing system. I enjoyed the view & the weather while I wrote postcards. Until the next YoloSolo adventure See you on Yelp read more

Madeline's on Moonstone - Healing crystal vibes - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Cambria, California

A coastal must-visit for wine lovers and foodies. Discover boutique wines from California's Central Coast and nibble on small bites at this charming oceanfront wine room. With waves crashing right infront of you and the scent of sea air drifting in, it's the perfect spot to unwind. Madeline's is a Cambria essential. The beachside location is currently open for lunch and dinner, offering a curated selection of homemade French-American dishes. The savory tart was one of the best I've ever had. Lusciously creamy and decadent, it's filled with leeks, bacon, and cheese, then finished with a balsamic glaze. Heaven in your mouth. I paired it with Andrew Adam's Pinot Gris, a white wine from Santa Maria that was zesty and full-bodied, with notes of stone fruit, honey, and spice. Add Moonstone Beach views and a gentle afternoon breeze, and yes heaven does exist on earth. I've used the word heaven twice here and I stand by it. For those unfamiliar with the area: there are two Madeline's in town. One is a full-service restaurant located closer to the heart of Cambria, while the other is perched right on the beach. This beachside wine room offers a much smaller menu, but everything is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Both spots are worth visiting, each offering its own unique vibe. Don't pull into the lot directly connected to the place since it's reserved for guests of the Cambria Shores Inn. Instead, look for free street parking next door or across the street next to the boardwalk. Enjoy and cheers! read more

Service is terrible. No one was manning the bar area so I went inside to the hotel lobby. I asked if there was anyone in the bar area and was abruptly told to wait and go outside and someone would show up. After a few minutes a young women came out. I placed my order for a Chardonnay and a cuvée. She asked if we were hotel guests and I said no. We're staying at the Blue Dolphin. She said that we can't sit on the chairs looking over the road/beach bc they are reserved for hotel guests. 13 empty chairs.....we sat down any way. The Madeline's Chardonnay could take paint off of a wall. It's horrible. We were here a few years ago and had a lovely time. We will never be back. Your front desk, bar and wine is awful. Ambience is a 10 bc of Mother Nature! read more

Madeline's on Moonstone - Julie told us that we needed to leave if guests wanted to sit here! So I guess it doesn't count if you buy 2 glasses of wine. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Cambria, California

There are a few places on Moonstone to view and enjoy the ocean. Madeline's is a great addition to the area. The server we had was top notch and a perfect salesman. When people would order a glass of wine, he would suggest ordering the bottle which would be cheaper in the long run. He sold a bottle after a bottle after bottle, including one to us. We were not familiar with the wine we ordered, but it tasted very excellent. We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered no food. read more

Madeline's on Moonstone - We had the corner table at the window with a perfect view. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Cambria, California

Best experience of this trip. If you enjoy wine tasting, this is a definite MUST DO. Brooke was delightful and stayed on top of things. The choices of wines (choose which five you wish to taste) were good. Breath-taking view which can't be beat. Complaint: We didn't see any signage for parking so we of course pulled into the parking lot for the hotel. Well, that parking lot is for hotel guests, not for Madeline's customers. You need better signage! The Charcuterie Board was, in my opinion, excellent. Hubby thought it was very good. There is a limited menu of food choices to help absorb the wine. Decent prices on the food; wines are a bit pricey. Overall, an absolute MUST DO stop for wine lovers. read more

We walk the boardwalk on Moonstone Beach in Cambria every time we visit for several weeks. I have noticed the small gatherings at Madeline's on Moonstone but never stopped in to check on the business. Yesterday after a drive up the coast and a visit to the elephant seals, we drove down Moonstone Drive and I parked across from Madeline's on Moonstone. My wife was surprised and asked why I stopped. I said, "Let's go have a glass of wine." It was a welcome surprise. The place is small with a few tables inside and a nice glass enclosed outside area with seats facing the ocean. That's where the bar is located and where you order. It's a nice place to sit, have a drink (wine, beer or soft drinks) and a snack or meal. I ordered the savory tart to go with our Pinot Grigio's. The service was good on a busy Saturday afternoon. The place is very dog friendly. The tart was really a quiche and was delicious. Add in a great view and it's a perfect place to sit, talk, dine and relax. read more

Not only did the location did not disappoint, but the service was outstanding. Ivan was a one man show this evening. From his knowledge of tastings to the great thoughtful service and food recommendations, his service went above and beyond. The location is right across from the boardwalk. It's a quaint patio that offered wonderful views. If you're in the area, I highly recommend!! read more

This was a great option for a glass of wine right overlooking moonstone beach. Server was lovely & just attentive enough.

Beautiful spot! Lovely and relaxing view of the beach and a great selection of wine. Can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon.

Wine? Good but I'd do flight vs single glass. Food? 3+ items sold out within couple of hours of opening. Went w charcuterie board and it was good - cheese wasn't sliced uniformly but no biggie. Service took awhile and it seems like they can get pretty busy. I guess I went into hotel part first and got kind of snippy dude but when I went to outdoor part, dealt w college age girl who was nice but seemed busy w customers. Was it the best value? Two glasses and a board w tip ran about 60ish. Go all in and visit their other property on Main Street for an amazing dinner. To grab a glass of wine w a killer view, this is def the place! read more

Found this cute gem of a place for wine tasting and it did not disappoint. What I ate/drank: - Tasting menu: When I went they were offering bold reds, which are my favorite, so I loved all the wine I tried - Cheese plate: Nothing too fancy, but a nice plate to nibble on while drinking and tasting the wine Pros: - The location was stunning! This tiny patio looked straight out to the ocean and it was pretty perfect - Plenty of parking down on the street. The parking lot was reserved for the hotel guests - "Late" night wine tasting. I think most vineyards/wine tasting places closed around 5, but this place was specifically open later, which is perfect. I was able to enjoy the glorious ocean sunset while drinking wine - There was only 1 server. He was very friendly and professional. Knowledgeable about the wine. He knew when to engage the patrons into conversation and when to step back. - Patio was dog friendly - If I was a local, I think this would be a great date spot Cons: - Patio seating, so you're subject to the weather. While I felt like the weather was pretty perfect, it did get chillier once the sun set - Patio is rather small. Not the place to bring ten of your friends Would I come again? If I was in the area, yes! read more

We love Moonstone Beach and have been going there for 28 years. Madeline's on Moonstone is a great addition to the area. It is within walking distance of most of the lodging, the view is unbeatable and the service was great! We enjoyed a couple of glasses of fabulous wine and loved the charcuterie board. We will definitely visit again when in Cambria. read more

Great view and fun vibe! An interesting and eclectic selection of wines. We'll definitely return on our next trip to Cambria.

Wine, and service were good. The flatbread was the worst!! The seating is poor and no real ambiance. Yes, you can see the ocean and that's the nice part. read more

Great experience. Friendly environment. Great view! Had a wonderful afternoon during sunset

This was my favorite winery in Moonstone! The view is incredible and Oscar the wine steward was magical! He was very knowledgeable, made us feel right at home and taught us so much about the wine that we sipped very carefully and enjoyed every drop. I bought the Petite Sirah to go and had a glass there. To continue to indulge in the wine, the beautiful sight of the ocean and the cool breeze. read more

Stopped off here to meet some girlfriends as they were in town the same time we were here. And never knew they had a tasting room in the area even though we've stayed numerous of time along the boardwalk. Mainly if we were doing any tasting, it would just be in Paso Robles wine country. It's a small tasting area, on the patio area overlooking the beach. Nice view is always a plus. They offer a few wine in the tasting which mainly are form the area which is nice. Food is available to accompany the tasting. Dog friendly which is great as well. Compared to the winery tasting room, felt like we got more knowledge there versus her. Overall, it was nice if your in the area. read more

Madeline's on Moonstone - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Cambria, California

Madeline's on Moonstone is a wine tasting bar overlooking the ocean. They are not part of the hotel but only rent space. They are part of Madeline's restaurant in downtown Cambria. Great way to have a glass of wine while looking at the ocean. They have lite fare snacks but not full meals. The chips are addicting. Yum! Service is friendly, view is great. Only downside are the chairs that are hard and have no backing. I have plenty of padding but my butt hurt. My husband has a bad back so seating was not comfortable for either him or me. You can park across the street and hotel. read more

Great food and service! My husband and I chose to eat here for our 40th anniversary and feel we made a good choice.

Amazing food, great service and fantastic ambience. Let's start with their private label wines. You can order them by the glass and they are fantastic! As for food - my wife had the ratatouille, I had the short rib parpadelle and my kid had the kids pasta with chicken. The kids portion is an adult portion. The short rib pasta was out of this world good and my wife was talking about how good her ratatouille was the next day. 5/5! Go!!! read more

Cute small tasting room in front of the Cambria Shores Inn with an amazing view of the beach. 3.5 stars Highlights: - Tasting of 3 wines included with check in at the inn - Nice view right across the street from the beach - Can do tasting or glasses of wine and few snacks available to order like a cheese platter or quiche or croissant of the day. - Seating: Stools by plexiglass to face the ocean and a few tables outside as well as inside. Also some tables inside and you can also grab wine and sit in the adirondack chairs a few steps away. Midlights - Wines were fine, but nothing outstanding so just ok. Lowlights: - Only one guy helping everyone so could be a while to get to you - On a windy day it's harder to enjoy Nice place for chill ambiance and some wine. read more

Very nice place! We have been trying to find a time to stop by here but on Saturday's they are always super crowded. We stopped here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and the place was empty. We enjoyed a nice glass of wine with the most beautiful views. With the cover patio, we were completely blocked by the wind. Awesome service and great experience! read more

Mediocre wines, but great views. Their Sauv Blanc tasted like Chardonnay, and their "barrel select" Cab Sauv tasted like pinot noir. read more

Amazing wine and great beer! They offer an extensive selection, and surprisingly, I found my new favorite beer (Golden Road Belgian White) here, even though it's more of a wine spot. My girlfriend also discovered her new favorite wine (a sparkling red). The service was exceptional--our server was highly knowledgeable about wine and such a great person overall. The views were outstanding--some of the best you can get! read more

Simply a stellar experience. The view is fabulous with wind shields and heaters. Wines were excellent. I liked most of them that were in my tasting flight which is rare. I especially enjoyed the pinot gris and the cab. The best part though was the exceptional service. Ivan was the only server and he was very attentive to all guests. He explained each wine and he was on point. Very personable and a wise choice to represent Madeline's. He made my first visit wonderful. I will definitely return every time I am in the area. read more

Great setting for a wine tasting, just across a quiet street from the beach. And if you happen to be staying at one of the nearby hotels, a very convenient location too. The $15 tasting fee was pretty standard for a 5 wine tasting. My favorites were the Curvee (with a surprising amount of flavor for a white wine, which is why I usually like Chards) and the Petit Verdot (very full bodied wine). Pretty solid wines. read more

I want to start this review by saying overall Madeline's on Moonstone is overall a very nice experience. I also want to say that I am a huge fan of their restaurant on Main Street and have been going there for many years. The location is lovely albeit a little windy and is a great place to have some wine and snacks while looking at the gorgeous coast. The service is professional and attentive. So where does it fall down? The food. I tried two items on my visit. The shrimp diavolo tacos and the savory tart of the day. The tacos were made with fresh lovely ingredients and even the tortillas were nice, however the really strong sauce absolutely killed it. It was like something out of a bottle was poured on. When I told the waiter he very graciously took it back and offered me something else and I got the tart. It was a cheese and asparagus quiche. Again the ingredients were fresh and lovely but it was heavy, kind of sweet, really dense and the crust was chewy and mushy rather than crisp. I knew it had been microwaved and unfortunately tasted like that. This is surprising and disappointing from Madeline's whereas the food from the main restaurant has always been from really good to great. Perhaps some of the other items on the menu are much better but these happen to be my choices that day. I hope the restaurant takes this review as it is meant to help them improve something that is already good and make it great. read more

Fantastic views and friendly service. We did the 3 pour flight. Generous pours with a breathtaking view. We came back for coffee before we left. We would come back here. read more
