Nice Saturday sipping wine, sitting by the water and spending a nice little DEI afternoon. Perfect place to land your feet after a ferry ride over. Crowd was, thankfully, diverse. Wine selection (I''m a strictly Chardonnay and Prosecco person), was nice, nice selection of bites (the warm bread w/ the Brie ... perfect ... and wait service was fun and very attentive ... special treat is to be by the water and seeing the joy playing in the grass, walking along the harbor ... and just being! Def a "treat yo'self" good time experience, go on the weekends and enjoy live music read more

Decided to randomly stop here last weekend while in town. We sat outside and the view was stunning. It was such a nice day. We did a red and white flight of wine. The wine was so nice. Bottles are reasonably priced. We also had lunch here. Food was decent. Takes a minute to come out. Staff was friendly enough but not very attentive. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the Jack London area. read more

Stayed in Walnut Creek and attempted to visit a vineyard but couldn't find any open. Ended up making a reservation here, was pleasantly surprised at the nice view overlooking the bay by the ferry terminal. We sat on the patio and it was perfect weather for a mimosa flight. Loved the red pepper gouda bisque. The mini baguettes and castelvetrano olives were perfect to snack on as we enjoyed the view. Great service and nice ambiance. read more

Quality/Quantity - I am saddened to write this update. Rosenblum has updated and changed their members' benefits within the last few months. I noticed changes as early as the beginning of this year. And the changes are NOT to my benefit, so I will probably cancel my membership if I have not already canceled it as I post this update. We have been members for years and rarely visit, usually once every 2 months for pick ups or when entertaining. So it should be very profitable for you. We just rejoined the Livermore Wineries who give better benefits, well the same benefits as this winery used to give. Plus now my wife can go outlet shopping; a win/win. Great wines, Kent Rosenblum (RIP 2018) has done an outstanding job with his zinfandels and the current parent company has done an impressive job maintaining the brand until recently. Well, the wines are still good. Atmosphere - Still a beautiful decent size location. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating, but of course we come on weekdays and early. Table, high tables, bar seating, etc. Free limited street parking, free for 2-4 hours. Also be careful of car break-ins. Validated garage parking (not free, discounted); see website for specifics. Service - Still 5 stars, good to see some of the regulars still working here. I'm going to miss them. Price - As a member, the first drink is complementary with up to 1 additional guest now. So I guess I have to take all my future guests to our Livermore wineries... Which also means less potential future customers for you as they will sign up as members there instead of here. We spend approximately $50 on snacks + generous tips. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1978. We have been customers since you operated out of that "shack" in Alameda next to the main ferry. We used to love going to your annual events; we sure miss that! 2014 - Moved to this location. 2022 - Welcomed Charlie Tsegeletos to the Rosenblum brand as the new winemaker. read more

I really enjoy coming to Rosenblum. The space is beautiful, I love that it sits near the water. The staff is always kind and are always on top of things. I do wish that the servers had a little more knowledge about the wine selection. My party and I were asking questions about certain wines, the server did not know. They also did not take the time to ask someone that did. read more

I feel so lucky to have this winery within walking distance of my house. It's in a beautiful location overlooking the bay and makes for a great pitstop before or after taking the ferry. On a sunny day, the patio is bustling and the wine is flowing! My roommate and I love the wine so much that we constantly buy it as gifts for friends. The sommeliers are knowledgeable, friendly, and always up for a chat. A true staple in Jack London Square! read more

I haven't been in, in a while unfortunately. We stopped in on a lovely Sunday afternoon for some wine and snacks, and it did not disappoint! The staff was wonderful, friendly and attentive.

This place is a jewel on the sea! I have been here multiple times and I've always enjoyed my time here with my friends! They have a beautiful interior and exterior with large bay view windows that allows you to see the gorgeous water and boats nearby. A sunset dinner at this location is BEAUTIFUL! The evening dinner is lovely as well with all the ferry lights in front. The main dining room has soft lighting, chic Oakland art, and an industrial look with a variety of comfortable seating. Perfect for a date, meeting, or casual dining. The staff is always so kind and patient, allowing me as much time as I need to decide on a wine flight or charcuterie board. I like how they've expanded the menu with more food options! I would have loved to have given 5 stars but I was slightly disappointed by the new servers lack of knowledge about the wine options, and couldn't answer the majority of our questions regarding flavor profile and types. I am assuming they are new because they weren't too confident about the menu. Other than that, I had a great time as usual! read more

I've been here a few times. Service has always been great. I'd recommend making a reservation as they get busy on weekends. There's a 90-minute table limit but you can take your wine to the lawn. They'll give you plastic wine glasses. My favorite aspect is the large, expansive lawn in front of the winery. You can also enjoy a picnic while sipping on delicious wine. read more

Great location right on the water with nice views and good people watching. Wine selection is vast with their own wines as well as a big assortment of other wines. They have a full menu as well, but I just had wine so I can't speak to the food. Came on a chill Saturday and there was a light crowd. Servers were super friendly and accommodating. Just hung out with a couple bottles of wine and a good time. You can watch people get on and off the ferry. There's a lot of seating. Very relaxing and fun! read more

My first time here and I loved it. Made reservations and the rest is history. Almond wine and flights really good. The views were amazing and a nice day outside is perfect. Can't wait to go back read more

This is a nice winery in the middle of a lot of things. Very accessible, right next to the ferry with a great view of the water. It's a great spot to people watch if you're into that type of thing. Parking is a little bit on the harder end if you want to park in the street, but Jack London does have a parking garage that Rosenblum validates for. They have great service and a good wine list with Zinfandel being their most popular. We didn't order food because we were heading to dinner after but they look like they have a pretty good selection of snacks to enjoy with company. I want to come back in a drag bingo night. But this spot is pretty decent to come to when you get off of work, especially if you take the ferry, and pop in for a quick after work relaxing me time before heading home to the chores waiting at home. read more

Beautiful outdoor patio with delicious wine and light bites. They recently added a full menu with sandwiches and salads, which looks excellent but I haven't tried it yet. Their wine flights are all great, especially the blue sparkling. This is the first winery I've ever joined, and I love stopping by for a free flight or glass of wine after taking the ferry. Service is always excellent, and I enjoy bringing my friends and family here! read more

Went with a friend, who is a member here, for a lovely al fresco Sunday afternoon. Can't ask for a nicer setting, overlooking the water, taste testing generously poured glasses. The wines were tasty (I'm not super picky) and the snacks, although on the small in portion, were nice to nibble on. Don't expect too much from the food menu. All in all, a nice place to hang. read more

This place is so fun! They have karaoke some nights and I loved it. The service was quick and prompt. Very fun place to hangout at.

Beautiful patio area with views of the water, grassy area for kids to play. Indoor seating is nice as well. Friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely be back. read more

Parking is located at Jack London and they can validate parking for you. It's right by the ferry building and kind of secluded from other businesses so it's not too loud. Their outdoor seating is perfect right by the water while their fire playlist is playing in the background. I was surprised they made their own wine! I don't know why given their name, haha, but yeah, their wine is yummy. They have 3 flights of tastings: red, white and sparkling. I do wish they did offer a mix of red and white, but if you go with a friend, just try each other's. I went against my usual and ordered their white wine flight and it did not disappoint. All of the selections were light and refreshing, perfect for when it's warm outside. If you buy a bottle, they'll comp your tasting. They do offer some snacks which is on the pricier side. We ordered some French bread and Brie cheese .The Brie cheese was a generous slice and the French bread was warm which is always a bonus! I would definitely come back again. Nothing beats a local winery that is good and offers great music! The distance is a bonus too. read more

I live in the area and usually love coming to this winery but the service and the food today was pretty bad. The salami changed and the bread/olive oil was cold and small. The host or manager had attitude not sure if he just had a bad day because it was hot and busy but service was not that great. The service was a little slow too where we asked for bread and it didn't come out and when we went to go ask, there was some attitude. Not sure if it was just the day so I can understand but I was surprised read more

A strong kick off to a 21st birthday celebration! We got the peach moscato which was lovely, and I am usually not the biggest fan of wine. It was sweet but refreshing and light. The waiter and I also share a birthday!! Definitely stop by before hopping on the ferry at jack London square. read more

I stumbled across Rosenblum Cellars while in Oakland recently and had a great experience! I did not have a reservation but was able to instantly sit at the bar area since there was plenty of available seating and I was by myself. They have outdoor patio seating and indoor tables which is based on a reservation. Nice view of the waterfront area in Jack London Square. I ordered the bubbly flight, which was recommended by the bartender. If you like champagne or something sweet, definitely order the Bubbly flight! You will not be disappointed! Most definitely will visit again when in Oakland! read more

Rosenblum is in Jack London Square surrounded by restaurants, Ferry access, World Market, and other stores. They're tucked away next to the Waterfront hotel. There is street parking and garage parking so it shouldn't be difficult accessing unless there is a large event happening in the area. If you're still trying to keep your distance from other people, you may enjoy the spaced out seating indoors and outdoor. If you are more comfortable sitting outdoor, note that they do not have heaters so come prepared and layer up. Oh and I recommend making reservations if you plan to visit in the early evening (6-7pm ish). Their bubbly is delicious and the variety of cuvée and brut is great. Be mindful that the charcuterie is Al la carte and you get what you pay for meaning you can expect to get a full block of cheese and an entire 5 oz package of crackers. The servers are knowledgeable and helpful but also allow you time to enjoy yourself without hovering. Would visit for a date night or happy hour with friends again, you should too! read more

If you want excellent bang for your buck and live in Oakland or Berkeley, Rosenblum Cellars is for you! We moved to the bay a month ago and a member ship to Rosenblum Cellars was the first thing we did. You receive a complementary flight or glass of wine every day, and receive 20% discount on everything else. The location is absolutely perfect, with the marina views. It's also a great spot to people watch, if that's your jam. We've already been six or seven times! The service can leave some things to be desired, especially when they are busy. So come early if you want prompt and kind service. For the price though, it's hard to beat! The food bites are pretty decent too! read more

How about some wine while overlooking the beautiful Jack London Square Marina?! If that sounds like your jam, then Rosenblum is the place to be! Rosenblum Cellars is tucked away behind the Oakland Ferry Terminal at the end of Jack London Square. I stopped here for a night cap after having dinner nearby, and it was the perfect way to end my evening. First, let's talk about the location. This spot is prime for those who want to take in the bay views while sipping on some vino. The sunsets are pretty killer as well. During the time that I visited, they weren't doing tastings. I opted for a few glasses instead (they have wine by the glass and bottle for purchase). They'll let you sample the wines before you decide on your glass/bottle. What's nice about this tasting room is that they not only carry wines from their own label, but they also have some other local and foreign wines too. Ended up having a glass of the Garnet Carneros Pinot Noir and the Longevity Chardonnay. The Chardonnay was actually a suggestion from my wine steward that evening, and damn did she put me up on game. This Chardonnay was lip smacking good! Bright, crispy, and citrusy. I really enjoyed it. They have plenty of outdoor patio space with lots of tables for seating. Their indoor area is really chic and cozy. The temperature really drops as the sun goes down. Unfortunately, they don't have heat lamps. You should definitely dress in layers or at least bring a coat if you're planning on coming during the evening time. They're open pretty late which is nice. But when that wind gets to whippin', you'll be freezing your arse off. They have blankets if you get cold. I actually ended up asking for a blanket myself since it was so windy. I hung in there to catch the beautiful sunset, and it was definitely worth it. Service is truly outstanding. All of the wine stewards were friendly and enthusiastic! The vibe is super relaxing and low key. The perfect spot to really unwind or to enjoy some quality time with others. And of course, the view of the bay doesn't hurt one bit. I'm excited to come back again to try more of their wines. Hopefully they'll resume their tastings soon, but I'll just enjoy a few glasses until then. read more

I have a membership so every-time I'm in Oakland I stop by to get my free flight. The vibe here is always nice & there's a wide enough selection of wine to entertain your whole party. The snacks are also pretty decent. Zero complaints! read more
