    If you haven't been to Riggers Loft, highly recommend checking out on a weekend exploration of Richmond. Tucked away in the Port of Richmond shipyards, this family-owned space is filled with love ~ there's music on select dates/times, a wine bar/tasting room, cider from Far West, delicious food, and epic views of the Bay. Chef Frank Miller is awesome ~ we chatted with him for a while about food, the space, and Richmond. Such a cool and talented person who whipped up an amazing wood-fired pizza and Brussels sprouts. A huge fan of Far West cider, there's nothing better than getting a tasting sampler and sitting outside by the water on a weather appropriate afternoon taking in the sips and ships! There's a little something for everyone here - when we came, there were a lot of families and larger groups celebrating life's milestones. Whether you're a wine or cider person, or just want to explore Richmond in a different way, Riggers Loft should have a spot on the list! There is plenty of parking and also views of the historic SS Red Oak Victory Ship. If you're planning an event, this space is also known for wedding bookings and more!

    We recently had our outdoor Traditional American Ceremony only on (August 31, 2024) at Riggers Loft, and I can't sing their praises enough! From the breathtaking views to the exceptional service, every detail was impeccable. Special shoutout to Chef Frank, whose culinary talents truly shone through--our guests are still raving about the fantastic food. Since it was a outdoor ceremony only event, we wanted to provide our guests with small bites before the start of the procession. We chose: Asian Salmon Tartar on Wontons,Paper Cone French Fries,Petit Spam Musubi, Fried Mac & Cheese Bites with dipping sauce of chef's choice. We did a tasting on each of these prior and they were DELICIOUS! No adjustments were needed. Also to include that Barbara and Chef Frank wine bottle selection was amazing! We even wanted a white wine sangria option for our guests too on a hot summer day. Chef Frank created the recipe and it was a hit! The venue's atmosphere was perfect for our celebration, combining rustic charm with modern elegance. The staff were attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly, making our special day stress-free and unforgettable. The airstream onsite was a delightful and unique touch, providing a cozy and stylish space for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. It added a special charm to the preparations, making those moments even more memorable. If you're looking for a venue that offers outstanding service, a beautiful setting, and amazing food, Riggers Loft is the place to be. Highly recommend! Thank you, Riggers Loft, for making our dream wedding come true!

    Don't you hate Yelpers who proclaim a place as the "hidden gem" of whatever? As if their own discovery implies no one else has experienced their moment of catharsis already. Been there, done that. That's why I'll bite my lip before stating that Riggers Loft is the hidden gem of Richmond. Even though it is. Listen, Jamie W. and I just happened upon it when we were taking our daily constitutional and found ourselves traipsing on Canal Blvd. after it turns into a curving two-lane blacktop. We walked around the conspicuous S.S. Red Oak Victory ship and found the inconspicuous red door to a large warehouse. Inside were rows of barrels with a wine tasting bar island in the middle. Outside were widely spaced tables set up on an expansive terrace, all occupied since a private event was taking place when we visited. The panoramic views of San Francisco in the distance were quite arresting. The mellow setting lured us back a few weeks later, and we did the same leisurely forty-minute walk from Miller Knox Regional Park. This time, it wasn't quite as crowded, so we paid the $5 cover charge per person in order to park ourselves at an available table for two on the terrace. We decided to share a $35 bottle of the sparkling wine, Methode Champenoise Lodi, Blanc de Blanc from R&B Cellars (photo: https://bit.ly/37wNnJg). It was an effervescent treat that went well with the food we ordered by QR code and the live music provided by an Dirty Cello, a hipster blues/bluegrass hybrid ensemble that played radio favorites like "Sixteen Tons" and "Fortunate Son" with panache. While tapping our feet, we had the nicely charred $16 Margherita Pizza with Mushrooms (photo: https://bit.ly/3usAEQV) and ended up indulging ourselves with the addictive $8 basket of Beignets dusted with powdered sugar (photo: https://bit.ly/3rfdrQ2). We came back today. Same walk. Different musicians. This time it was jazz guitarist Jinx Jones (great name) with his accomplice, both of whom stayed inside with the wine barrels. We still sat outside and shared another $35 bottle of Method Champenoise but this time their sparkling rose, the Chandon des Etoiles Lodi (photo: https://bit.ly/37Dfy9e), and we liked it even more. And we really liked the $18 Roasted Veggie Pizza which had a nice pecorino finish to the cheese and plenty of veggies (photo: https://bit.ly/3usOQJC). It was so relaxing on the terrace that we couldn't help ourselves from ordering the $14 Strawberry Shortcake (photo: https://bit.ly/3E7NJ5q). Seriously. Hidden gem. Enough said. WINE - 4.5 stars...bubbly and light libation FOOD -4.5 stars...bar-style flatbread pizzas and unavoidable desserts AMBIANCE - 5 stars...the secret pull here at Ferry Point SERVICE - 5 stars...very courteous and helpful TOTAL - 5 stars...if not a hidden gem, then a local favorite...right?

    My friend who was born and raised in Richmond hosted her baby shower at Riggers Loft.. who knew there was an epic venue on the bay in Richmond?! She visited throughout the pandemic for wine and live music on the weekends with her family and was so impressed by their commitment to safety and COVID-19 protocols she decided this would be the venue for her baby shower. The catering manager said they could prepare any menu for the occasion and she responded, "whatever is easiest." The theme was game day food which was perfect because of playoff football happening that day. The food was absolutely delicious and I would drive from SF to Richmond just for the sliders, carrot cake, and beignets! I've had my fair share of carrot cakes from every bakery in Northern CA and Hawai'i and this by far was the tastiest carrot cake I've EVER had. I cannot stop thinking about it. To top it all off, the views are unmatched and we watched families of seals swimming in the Bay while we ate and drank outside (safety first). The live music is a bonus!! I didn't have many interactions with staff since all the food and wine was included as part of the party but the folks that checked my vaccination card, lady pouring the wine, and a gentleman who got me a bag for the gift wrap trash were super friendly and accommodating. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Riggers Loft as a party venue, or a place to safely enjoy a glass of wine by the bay, or THE BEST CARROT CAKE! (See you in August for my birthday).

    Far West Cider Flight!
    Joselyne T.

    A hidden gem in Richmond, CA. You get this glorious view of the bay bridge and the skyline of San Francisco across the bay! The ciders are delicious. And I've heard good things about the wine. Spacious outdoor area and some comfy seating inside as well. I'd always recommend for a good wine down and some drinks with friends!

    Patio
    Cody H.

    Great spot with an amazing view of the bay. Quiet and sheltered away from traffic and city noises. large outside space to bask in the sun on a sunny day, and feel the sea breeze. The wine was not my favorite, but perhaps i'll try a different blend the next visit. They had Pizza that looked tasty to try as well. When I went there was a cover charge but they had a live band, which depending on what you're looking for is a plus or minus.

    WineMany wines and knowledgeable staff, hard ciders, and excellent pizza in a quirky, industrial setting on the Bay. Add live music and indoor or outdoor seating and you end up with a memorable experience!

    Charcuterie plate and Mediterranean plate
    Sophia W.

    Great views! This place is very hidden. As we drove up, we kept having to double check the instructions to make sure we were at the right place. Sure enough, we found it and were amazed at the views and the historic Red Oak ship. The entrance was a little confusing at first, but we found the red door entrance and were shocked to see the huge space. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space to spread out. Be sure to have your vaccination proof as they are checking your vaccination status before you enter. We initially sat outside, but it was too chilly for my liking so opted for inside. We ordered the Mediterranean and charcuterie plate. I was a little disappointed the charcuterie plate came with pita bread because I was hoping for crackers or bread to pair with the soft cheese. The Mediterranean plate was good though and I might get that one the next time. As for the wine, I was disappointed in the quality and taste. I ordered the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc from the North Coast region (can't remember the exact name) and it was very tart and sour. It felt like the wine was still green and needed to age more. My partner ordered a Zinfadel which was better, but a bit too sweet and jammy. For our second glasses, we ordered the house 2017 rosé. They were okay, but again a little too tart for my liking. I'd definitely return for the views and to plan a party because of the great space, but I think I might stick to another type of wine.

    Such a cool place to hang out. They are taking covid super serious. You have to sign in, get your temp checked, wash you hands at the door and then your all set. Menu is a QR code. Food was average wine bar food, live music, good drinks, and beautiful views of the city. Plastic cutlery and paper plates were used and everyone had a mask. Mask can only be removed once you are seated. I didn't know this place was here, understandably, it's kind of hidden. Only wish they stayed open a bit later and had a wider food selection, but I understand the food is just an accompaniment, not the focus.

    Great views across the Bay to The City

Relevantly new, this winery was founded in 2005 and made wine at the local winery in Alameda at Rock Wall Wine Company. As we all know, Rock Wall grew business really quickly and Caria Wines had to find another home. Caria Wines was discovered by two close friends: Charlie and Dick. Dick supplied the grapes and Charlie, with his amazing wine-making skills came together to create their first bottle of the 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (my personal favorite). Now they are nestled in Richmond with beautiful views overlooking the Bay Bridge and views of San Francisco, what more could you ask for? Carica Wine focuses on Red Rhone's, however, since I am not a big red wino I decided to try there tasty Sauvignon Blanc, which is really tasty and one of their popular whites on the white wine side of things. They offer Wine tastings and tours at their new location which is at the Riggers Loft, on the edge of San Francisco Bay in Richmond's Shipyard District. They also offer a Caria Wine Club which gives you: 20 % discount for wine purchases, Free tasting flight of Carica wines at the Tasting Room, 4 shipments per year( February, May, September, and November -- each with 4 bottles selected by the Winemaker) and best of all? Free to join! I will certainly be back to try more of their tasty wines!

I'm glad I came on. It was a great start to 2025. Although the outside is rusting and really aging, the interior of the ship, the rooms are pretty much well kept. You can take your time to explore and read things on the self guided tour which me and my friend did. The inside of the ship is surprisingly very lively. There's a store, a dance room, and lots of the employees in their offices. It was a pleasant surprise. Apparently they have many things going on this ship like pancake days and other events. I would highly recommend keeping an eye constantly on your kids if they are crazy and like to run around a lot as this is not the place to be running around wildly. You can literally open any doors that's not locked and some leads to a dark area with pits that you can't see the bottom of. The railing on the higher levels have huge gaps that a kid can easily pass through if they rolled over and the fall (especially the last two upper deck levels) is guaranteed fatal.

    What an amazing silver soirée 40th birthday for my sister!!! Dave was very professional and detail…read moreoriented from the booking process, to the planning of the event, to the day of festivities, we were pampered and taken care of like Queens and Kings!!! Dave made this so easy, I give him a few ideas and he cultivated and crafted it to life. I couldn't believe how meticulous and beautiful the day was. My sister was truly brought to tears. There was a customized champagne flute, a customized birthday welcome sign on an easel, fresh flowers, balloons, the colors and decor were honestly all on point!!! We were even able to come up with a chef inspired menu to hit the notes of our food favorites and Dave even has menu customized and laminated for the event. The crewmembers were some of the nicest top-notch service personnel we've ever met. We were even able to come up with a drink menu and they were bartenders on deck too! Truly was white glove service all around. If you put your contract in with Marquis Charters, you will not be disappointed as every dollar will be worth it!!!

I got there and saw a sign that said "Appointments Required" which almost turned me away but I decided to drive down the dirt road since the gates were open anyways. I arrived at the tasting room which was quite nice looking. After walking up to the counter the staffmember I talked to apologized for not having their private chef there but gave me the rundown of their offerings. The tasting price was unexpected but I guess I'm just used to how things were in the early 2000s when tastings in Sonoma were a lot more casual. I decided to just dive in and got two bottles to go. I think this place is more of a destination than I expected, which is cool, it was very much a nice spot to visit. I'll probably come back in the summer to get the full experience.
