My party of 4 visited the winery on a Sunday afternoon. The wine host explained that they had a…read moreparty on property for the day and were sold out of a few of their wines. He walked us through our options in terms of tasting for the day and we got started. We tasted through 6 wines and made ourselves a picnic on the deck located outside with a nice view. Our wine educator was friendly and accommodating to our group of 4 that were not tasting the same wines. Overall, my favorite wine I tasted was the 2021 Grenache. CRU specializes in Pinot and Chardonnay which are not my favorite varietals but I would still recommend this winery to anyone in the area looking for a nice spot to enjoy a picnic and good wine.

This is for Cima Collins's new tasting room in Marina. Suite #6 at the little industrial park in…read moreMarina. The tasting room is relaxed: steel and wood and beautiful art on the walls. When we arrived, the winemaker, Annette Hoff, and her team were just getting some de-stemming what looked to be Pinot Noir grapes and when we were leaving she was cleaning the de-stemmed. This is where the magic happens. The wine was delicious. Jude, our server was a delight. There was optional table seating just outside. No tasting bar. You sit where you want and the tasting room folks ask what you want and bring the bottle(s) to you. Chill. No fuss. Great wine. Love the hours! Open until 7pm Fridays and Saturdays:) We will most definitely be back.

Which is good if you want to go wine tasting more than once and keep it interesting. My all time favorite were Sinecure Wines which I believe they do small production. I ended up getting 2 bottles. The nice thing about this place is that they have the outdoor sitting, live music and you can buy by the glass. Marina is a chilly town so bring a nice sweater or coat just in case. All in all it was a great experience! I would definitely recommend for a group of friends or maybe a girls night out. It's every Saturday and I've been meaning to stop by for more Sinecure wine, it has such a smooth taste. I don't taste wine the same anymore after having the GSM from Sinecure. The Tempranillo was also very delicious. Oh and there's also a food booth, they sell tri-tip sandwiches, not sure how much they cost or if they were delicious I was busy drinking. (:

They have a few tiers of reds including The Estate, Reserve, Palm Tag, and Lansdale. Although it's tempting to purchase some of their delicious wines at their winery, a helpful tip from the local - Grocery Outlets around the Bay Area sell their reserve Chardonnay for $3.99 and their reserve Pinot Noir for $8.99 in the wine section! They are priced at $42 and $72 respectively at the winery, so you're getting incredible savings! Amazing to see the owners of Eden Rift spearhead wine accessibility by providing great wine in the sub $4 and $9 price point!

Unfortunately our experience was dampened when we went back through the same door we were shown through to have the owner talk negatively about us to his guests for us to hear because we went through an "employee only" door to access the restroom. It was the only door we were shown and that is at no fault to the server, as an owner not great etiquette to talk about your patrons in a negative light for them to overhear. No matter which door we went through it still would have "interrupted" you and your guests/time. Left us with a bad taste ending to our nice time.

Highly recommended.

Their wines are crushed, fermented, and bottled in Mendocino county and the family lives here locally and runs their wine business here in Monterey County (they also have a new tasting room in Monterey). Julia was our hostess and runs the tasting room in the village (and it sounds like she runs their family business as well). My wife and I enjoyed a flight of 5 wines. We liked their reds (Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel) more than their whites. All three reds were older 'library' wines, being 10-12 years old, which is unusual and a fun angle to their wine tasting offering. We haven't experienced being served older wines in the neighboring wine rooms, which makes blue fox unique in the village. Blue Fox had an unassuming tasting room, but has spectacular exterior grounds. Lots of room for serving large parties. In fact, they have a beautiful wood burning pizza oven for serving flatbreads on Sunday and have live music on occasion. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Blue Fox and learning about Julia and her husband's family business. We will be back with friends and family on Sundays to try their wood fired flatbreads paired with their delicious Syrah.

My brother had visited Wrath only to purchase a bottle a couple years ago, and out of convenience, having parked in the garage right by the Carmel Plaza, Wrath seemed like a decent place for a wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon. Kathy was fantastic - very accommodating to our party of 6+baby+stroller, as we were able to sit outside and also listen to some of the live music, which the non-wine-tasters in the party enjoyed. I ended up getting the Single Vineyard Tasting, which came with 5 wines (one white, four reds, mostly Pinot). All were very tasty, had a great smell (i.e. not too vinegar/alcohol-y), and were overall decently priced between $29-$55 per bottle. I personally enjoyed the KW Ranch - sweet and smooth, and purchased a bottle, but we also just really appreciated the atmosphere and service of Wrath winery!
