The Chardonnay was delicious! My partner got the blend recommended by the staff member and that was quite tasty too. The price is on the higher side but the quality made it worth it. And nice heated outdoor seating with beautiful views of the bay! read more

The wine is good but I've tried canceling my membership but I'm not getting any return calls or emails. I've called twice and sent one email in the last 14 days. I asked for red wine in my shipments & they sent 2/3 white. I rarely drink white so I have 8 bottles that will just sit. They've never sent me any emails so I could know when my pickups were ready so I had to pay $40 for shipping every 3 months. They have the wrong name on the shipping label. The first name starts/ends with the right letter & the last name rhymes with my name so clearly a typo). I called every time to correct the name and make sure they have the correct email address so I could actually come into the tasting room for my pickup & avoid shipping fees. read more

Admittedly, Sausalito's Real Napa is a tourist spot and one, as a local, that I'd be hard pressed to ever set out for as a destination. But having popped in here twice in the past three years I find that it has something different to offer; different, that is, in relation to all of the other tourist spots where one might pop into for a glass of wine in Sausalito. What Real Napa offers is a low key chance to enjoy a glass of wine outdoors and across the street from one of the loveliest stretches of Sausalito's open water. Three years ago, from my seat at Real Napa, I watched a gentleman across the street spring a marriage proposal upon his girlfriend. He'd chosen a lovely site for the proposal and it was fun and memorable to experience vicariously from my seat across the Bridgeway Promenade. Outfitted with heat lamps, Real Napa is a place where you order at the bar, select a table outside, and await delivery of your order. I could do without the canned '80s music that plays throughout but appreciate that the volume was such that it was easy to converse above. Real Napa isn't doing anything grand but as they say in real estate, "location, location, location". Real Napa has it and it's a chill space from which to enjoy a good wine selection and beautiful views. Every once in a while it's fun to play tourist without leaving town. read more

We stopped in for a glass of wine and ended up getting a snack (Tour de Fromage) and another glass of wine. The service was terrific, as was the conversation we had with our server (Lydia?) and another customer. The selection of wines and wine related items in the shop was quite interesting. We will definitely visit again during a future trip to SF. read more

Nice place to stop in Sausalito! We got half of a cheese board for three people and it was perfect. Sitting outside was very enjoyable as people passed by. They were out of Brie cheese, but gave us additional cheese and extra crackers to make up for it! The server was very kind and accommodating. read more

Wonderful service and enjoyable fruit-forward wine. Truly enjoyed the ambiance of the outdoor seating; don't miss it!

I came once for my birthday in June of this year, and the lady working was so polite and the ambiance was amazing! I decided to go a second time with my partner, and I can honestly say this is a new stop every time I visit Sausalito. I had the honor to be served by Madison, and she definitely gave me the reassurance that I found a hidden gem. Definitely recommend! Also prices are reasonable! read more

This place is amazing! I really enjoyed that there was an option for half a cheese platter, it was very reasonably priced and had a good selection of cheeses, dried fruits, and crackers. The service was above and beyond! I would confidently recommend this place to others looking for a nice spot to enjoy outside. read more

If you only have time/want(who would only want 1 tasting?? right?) for 1 wine tasting while you are visiting this magical little town, this is the place to stop. We stopped one other spot in town and I prefer this place not only for their outdoor seating option but I thought their reds were better. You have to sit on the patio. It gives a great view of the bay and the bridge in the background. You can watch the boats and everything that's going on. You get 3 pours and you can choose the ones you want to try. It wasn't very time consuming. I would say this is a great spot to get in and get out. read more

Real Napa - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet savignion - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sausalito, California

We went in during the closing hours of the shop on a Saturday evening and we quite liked the warmth of the place and the sweet talk of the lady who ran the "show". Got tempted to buy a Vegan tote bag but found it a bit pricey. She kind of sweet talked us into it and made us buy, only to come home and realize that it was marked by $40! I understand that there are real leather goods and fake ones. The ones I saw online matched exactly to the one I purchased. Calling them up only resulted in an absolute arrogant and entitled voice that said that they won't take returns! So much for encouraging women-run business! No business ethics, greed and rude to the core! read more

Great selection of wine & even better service. I recommend sitting outside on a nice sunny day. It's the perfect place to sit back and take all the views of Sausalito. Our waitress was super friendly and provided amazing recommendations of the surrounding area. read more

Thanks for having wine tasting, being nice to dogs and locals, not hovering and allowing people to just enjoy and BE. Thank you for having friendly calm staff read more

If you are looking for a waterfront experience and a nice glass of wine, stop by Real Napa. We ordered a flight and it was wonderful. They served wine from Fotsch Vineyard and every one of the wines was wonderful. For the white, our favorite was the Savignon Blanc and our favorite red was the Barbera. There is no food outside of nuts. If they served a charcuterie tray, it would be perfect. The shade comes about 3:30. Enjoy! read more

It has been years since I did a tasting here but it is was better than I remember! Since the pandemic they added the outdoor street seating which is lovely especially on a nice warm day! Instead of doing a tasting I did a glass of rose and smaller version of the charcuterie which was still a lot for one person. Enjoyed the view and the rose was delicious not to mention the charcuterie was better than I expected! Though it is still on the pricier side, that is to be expected in Sausalito as most things are here :) Worth the visit and the customer service is wonderful read more

Great place ...good wine... good people .... good atmosphere ... Marco e Cri from Italy... ciaoooooo

Gabriella made our experience incredible!! So sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful. Would definitely come back. :)

We didn't have time for a Napa valley tour this trip, but this was a good substitute. This server had a very good knowledge of wine. Good recommendations. And offered to replace anything that she had recommended that we didn't care for. But all the wines were good. It was fun experiencing California wines. Very friendly comfortable place. read more

What a lovely vibe and wonderful customer service, and lots of great suggestions about the area from Lydia! She was absolutely delightful! We'll be coming back again for sure. The wine was delicious. Definitely stop here and ask for Lydia! read more

We were in San Francisco for the weekend and decided to tour the town of Sausalito, which is not too far from the city. Our first stop was at Real Napa and had a beautiful time wine tasting. The cost was $5 and included a selection of three different wine. Our hostess was friendly and knowledgable of the different wine selection they offered, which was a plus. read more

Real Napa - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sausalito, California

I needed to go to the restroom, with my group of friends. Stayed to purchase wine. And she literally made me go all the way down the street (she said a block) and it's literally more than a half mile. she has Silver hair literally made me go walk to the public restroom more than a half mile. After my friends purchased wine. Horrible way to assume who comes Into to her store. When I came back she barely apologized, realizing my friends were with me. Also, Barely knew anything about the wine that was presented. She didn't even know much about the difference about the wines. My friends were in shock about it. SHE LET THEM USE THE BATHROOM AFTER I WAS CLEARLY UPSET. Definitely reporting her to the Business Bureau. read more

Taking a day trip to Sausalito or the North Bay? Showing some friends/relatives out of town a good time in the bay? Driving through Sausalito and stopping by for a quick meal? If you've got an extra 30 minutes to spare or are looking for an activity to do besides driving around Sausalito for the view/partaking in one of the many fine dining restaurants available, then stop by real Napa! Conveniently located off the main road that leads into Sausalito/near the middle of where all the activity is, you can take a stroll through town before/after your wine tasting. Lucky us, we got metered street parking right in front of the storefront! Cross the road and you'll get to walk along the water and see sailboats, ferries, kayaks, and maybe a seal or two. If people in your party are not the slightest bit interested in wine tasting, they can take a look around the store for gifts/household items and try on some of the wide variety of hats on sale. Now, down to the main business: the tasting area has about 6-8 chairs in addition to standing area. Tastings are from Fotsch vineyards, $10 for 3 pours. Wide selection of options to taste from. Bottles available for sale. They also have a wine club if you want to join. Staff is polite and friendly. Bathroom is available for customer use. No internet service? Connect to their wifi! I would recommend stopping by if you have time. Cheers! read more

Good wine selection. This was our second visit of the Real Napa and we love Lydia, the sommelier. Incredible friendly and soft energy. She is the best in creating a positive experience for the customers. It was great way to start the Christmas week festivities with Fotsch Syrah she recommended. read more

Walked in to taste wine and the lady behind the counter was staring at her phone the entire time. After she didn't look up from the phone we walked out. read more

Had a great visit today with my aunt and sister! The wine was really good and the view outside was amazing. I recommend sitting outside. We were even able to get a cheeseboard from next door while drinking our wine here. Really great experience, the staff was very kind and amazing customer service. Thank you! read more

Note that this store is divided equally in two ... one half a gift shop and one half a tiny wine tasting bar. Most of the reviews are for the tasting bar, mine is for the gift shop. We were talking a walk on a weekday evening and spotted a unique item in the window. It was perfect for our new look at home but we were in the area for a birthday party and traveling very light, we would have no way to get it home. We stopped in again the next morning. The lone proprietor was engaged with a wine tasting customer who seemed ticked off that we were trying to ask a question. I was impressed how tactfully the proprietor eased herself away to assist us. She said she would gladly wrap, pack and ship the large item, all for only $20. She clearly wasn't marking up her costs. It was a Tuesday and she said she normally tries to make her UPS run on Mondays but she would try to get our item out sooner. Imagine our surprise when it showed up at our door on Saturday morning. Kudos and 5-stars to this proprietor for her people skills, excellent customer service and exceeding our expectations. Please stop by and see her unique selection of gifts and her friendly relaxed wine tasting bar. read more

We stopped in at Real Napa after one of our long walks through Sausalito. It's a cute little wine bar that serves decent wines and the pours are generous. The hostess was great and answered all of our questions. The wine was so good that we went back for a second glass. If you want to sit outside and have some wine and a great view of Tiburon/Belvedere, Racoon Strait, and the Bay, this is the place for you! read more

The most adorable little wine tasting boutique. A must-stop-in when walking the streets of Sausalito. The wine tasting was only $5 a person for 3 wines, plus we got 1 of the tastings free because we bought a bottle. It's right on the water so the views are unbeatable. Very nice staff as well. read more

We did a wine flight of whites and sat outside to enjoy the bay view and people watching. Highly recommend the Sauv Blanc! Bought two bottles. The server was hustling with a busy crowd and was very pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

We discovered this place while aimlessly wondering around Bridgeway in Sausalito. Intimate little tasting room with friendly/knowledgeable service. Their Cabernet was delicious! Aside from wine they order things such as oils, sauces, mustards, and other products to go along with your wine tasting experience. Cute little place to stumble in to. read more

so glad my friend and I stopped by this shop yesterday and decided to do the wine tasting. You get your choice of 3 wines from their menu for $5. I mean who can beat that? The ones I had were great! I had the Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Reisling. You also get these yummy chocolate covered blueberries with your sweet wine. If you buy a bottle, your tasting fee goes towards that. What a deal :) The woman that helped us was great and was happy to answer all our questions. read more

$5.00 for tasting 3 different wines. This place wasn't a winery, but just a store located in downtown. Finding parking and walking down the street to this place was pretty bad alone. Nothing special really. read more

Although the tasting room is called Real Napa, the wines were from Fotsch winery which sources grapes from all over California - not just Napa. The $10 tasting fee covered three pours from 14 offered wines. Wines are also available by the glass. The three whites we tried were all better than three the reds. We didn't like any wine enough to buy as a bottle. read more

A friend and I stopped in here for a tasting during a day out. It's a quaint little shop right off the main road, with a shopkeeper who is very sweet. I feel bad that we came in and hung out pretty close to her closing time, but she accommodated us as my friend and I sat there and enjoyed some good wine. Wine selection isn't huge and not my fave, but that's a totally subjective statement (my friend liked the wine very much). But you can't beat the price for a tasting! Probably the cheapest I've seen since moving to the Central Coast! That in itself is worth stopping in for a few, as well as to chat with the shopkeep. :-) read more

Cute little wine bar & shop. Day trip to sausalito by biking the golden gate & decided to stop here for the $5 tastings...bought some desert wine that was tasty. The reason for the 3 stars is because the bartenders where not really inviting...kinda just handed us the wine menu ...and the bar was small most of the place was a gift shop(overpriced trinkets that you don't need) may need to reserve a spot if coming with a group more then 3...no recommended for big groups ... read more

We stopped in on Real Napa on a bike ride from Fishermans wharf. As 7 visiting aircrew looking for something fun to do in Sausalito I can say we had a blast at Real Napa. The Cheryl very friendly and knowledgeable. We did the wine tasting which was fantastic! The wines are unique, with bold flavours and fantastic finish.We then left to find another place. We returned an hour later as there was nothing better. We sat and ordered some wine and chatted. Linda Fotsch came by and chatted too, so did one of her sons. All in all i can highly recommend Real Napa as a must when in Sausalito. You will not be disappointed read more

Real Napa - Real Napa, Awesome place, I will be back! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sausalito, California

Wow this took me a long time to come back to! I joined this wine club because I really liked the feel of the place, the employees, and enjoyed leaving the city to come visit. I had a couple more great visits.... and then the staff changed. One in particular who was always there was not very friendly and didn't seem to know much about wine. Basically made me not want to come in, which was the whole point of me joining the club in the first place! After finding a different club that was closer and I once again enjoyed visiting, I decided to end my membership at Real Napa. I stopped getting shipment emails, so I assume she got my email, but didn't bother to respond. It's been about 2 years... but don't worry, they are still using my email to send promotional material, so I guess they didn't loose that. Personal issues aside, Real napa is a good place to stop into and enjoy yummy wines. I just don't think i'll be doing it myself again. read more

Stopped by here with some friends this past Saturday and had a great time. The wine was great and it was an overall good atmosphere.

Thanks to both of you and will definitely come back! read more
