Hidden gem in an industrial complex! I have been a member now for a few years, and it's the only winery that I refuse to cancel. I have enjoyed every bottle I've bought there. The location has even grown on me. At first it felt a bit...industrial, but what Greg and staff have done with the place is amazing. When I walk inside, I can imagine being in any tasting room anywhere. I love just being able to pop in any time I need a nice bottle to take to a party. I don't have to wait until I make it out to wine country. And Greg takes the time to get to know his club members, so I never feel like a stranger. read more

Seal Beach Winery - Taco truck wine tasting - Wineries Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Google maps brought me to the SB Winery located in a quiet corner of a business park. There was plenty of parking. I walked in to a wee venue with two sommeliers and two other visitors. I was immediately made at home and felt welcome. I was shown the list of wines available for me to try. I ended up buying a few bottles. Looking forward to returning. read more

This place is such a hidden gem, I almost feel guilty telling people about it. It's super cute, the vibes are relaxed, and the wine is actually so good. The tasting is only $20 for 6 wines--which feels like a steal these days. There's tons of parking (bless), and the best part? You can bring your own snacks and charcuterie. My friends and I come fully prepared with boards that would make Trader Joe's proud. Affordable wine, good company, and cheese I didn't have to sneak in? Say less. read more

We had been members years ago before we moved. We are back in the area now and had been looking forward to stopping by. JoEllen was amazing so attentive, friendly, helpful and upbeat. The relaxing atmosphere and vibe quickly changed when Greg (manager?) began interacting with JoEllen in a very rude, and disrepectful tone. I was taken aback that someone could speak to another individual in that manner. It was upsetting to witness. Our quiet evening unwinding with a wonderful glass of wine after a long work week was meet with a very uncomfortable environment. So disappointing. read more

Tasting Flight: $20 for 6 1oz. pours We usually like this little winery, located in the back of a business park. Unfortunately, the service was lacking on this latest visit. The two young ladies working were mostly pleasant, but there was little interaction, and their knowledge of the wines they were pouring was not very in-depth. At one point, I felt that I knew more about their wines than they did, as we've been frequent visitors over the years. WINES: They have a decent selection of whites, rosé, and reds. We both enjoyed the '17 Chardonnay, but were split on a couple of the reds, and the others did not suit our palates this time. I was also a little disappointed that we weren't able to try their latest Natalie Grace Syrah releases ('16 & '17), or the '17 Taylor Noelle Syrah, as these have always been our favorites here. My mother-in-law had a glass of their Sangria, and I must say that it was quite nice. Overall, we were a little disappointed, and didn't purchase any bottles to take home this time. I'm sure we'll stop in again to try future releases. read more

It was raining on a Wednesday night and my friend didn't tell me where we going. So when he pulled into an industrial parking lot that was empty, I started thinking, did I need an escape plan?! Welp, he made another turn and Seal Beach Winery was in the back corner of this industrial parking lot. He told me we were going wine tasting (I kept my escape plan to myself hehehehehe). We entered and it was very small but nice location. In the front, it was one couple and in their second room, it was a couple people. We decided to sit at the bar so we could see /hear the rain as we did our tasting. It was 6 pours starting with white wine. I am not a Pinot Grigio kinda girl but theirs was good. Of the 6, my favorite was Sangiovese and second was their Pinot Noir. In the end, we bought a bottle of Sangiovese so we can enjoy it at home. Janay serviced us and was very nice and attentive. She answered all our questions and was knowledgeable about the wines. The one star deduction was for the older gentleman that worked there. He did not speak once nor did he even smile. He literally had a unpleasant face every time he looked at us- definitely not inviting. As I read previous reviews the following night after our wine tasting, it seems I'm not the only one who picked up on his attitude. While we were leaving, we thanked Janay and said bye, even the patrons said happy new year to us but the older gentleman took a glance at us and turned away with a repugnant vibe. Based on Janya's service and the closeness of this winery, we might return. read more

Seal Beach Winery - Wine tasting and their current tasting menu as of December 2022. - Wineries Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Great service and wines. Nice tasting room where you can do a tasting, glass or bottle of wine.

I was getting together with my siblings for a Galentines and wanted a wine tasting experience but local. I found this winery on yelp. Affordable prices, location, and ambiance brought us in. We visited on a Saturday night at 7pm and loved how festive the place was. Lots of seating in the front of the place but we preferred the back for more privacy. We ordered a round of tasting $15/person, one round is 6 (1 ounce) pourings. I really enjoyed the wine descriptions, attention from staff and some complimentary tastings and chocolate covered almonds. It was a good experience but I felt rushed to leave. Closes at 10pm but began getting comments at 9pm to start closing up. First comment asking us if we wanted another bottle of wine but then answering the question by saying we didn't have enough time to finish it. Second comment was about handing her our carafe so she could rinse it although it still had wine in it. Another comment about how we were the only customers left. We left at 940 and they closed right after. Lights off at 940. I enjoyed the wines, I liked the service and I like supporting local business. I'm not sure when you'd come in to get the full experience but it wouldn't be on a Saturday night at 7pm. read more

I love Seal Beach winery. They have some great wines that are affordable and the wine tastings are fun!

I found out about Seal Beach Winery recently through a Groupon deal. Purchased the Groupon (which is a really great deal). Their website has very clear information/ instruction such as "no reservation required" and "we don't serve food but feel free to bring your own cheeseboard" so that was super helpful. Since there's no reservation required, we randomly stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The exterior was a bit hidden as they are inside a warehouse/ commercial office area and was the last unit. From outside, you can hardly tell that it's a "winery." The up side is that they have plenty of parking spaces and they a lot of indoor seats. The wines were great and so was the service! We had a good time and are fans now. It's nice to have a local place to get great wine. They seem to be having trouble with marketing maybe due to the location, so please come give it a try and spread the words! read more

Seal Beach Winery - Event coming up in Oct 2022! - Wineries Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

My visit to the Seal Beach Winery on 5/29/22 was great. I arrived at about 2:30PM. The place was at half occupancy. It is in an industrial part of Long Beach, CA. Once inside, it felt a bit small. The decor was no frills, yet, it was clean. I sat at the bar as most of the smaller tables were taken by couples. I didn't ask, but it seems like they were able to accommodate groups of up to 6 - possibly more. Clean restroom on site! Parking is ample and free. Their tastings are $15 for six 1-ounce pours. There are other good deals if you bring a friend along including a Yelp checkin offer: "50% off $15 Wine Tasting for 2." There is also a Yelp deal: "$35 for $50." I tried the following red wines: + 2014 Pinot Noir Clone 115 (Rio Vista Vineyard/Santa Rita Hills) + 2016 Petit Verdot (McGinley Vineyard/Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara) + 2016 Merlot (McGinley Vineyard) + 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Estelle Vineyard/Los Olivos District) + 2016 Malbec (Taylor Noelle Wines/Happy Canyon) + 2016 Syrah (Harrison Clarke Vineyard/Ballard Canyon) I brought home a bottle of 2014 Pinot Noir Clone 115 ($43). I intend on bringing this to share with my mom and grandmother to New Mexico later this summer. It's a lighter wine that seems like it would pair well with a variety of dishes. Each tasting was presented with an excellent description of the flavors and where the grapes hailed from... my wine pourer spoke about the area much in the way that former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright does on his daily podcast "The President's Daily Brief" - "if you look at a map..." Love geography & others who do too! I asked a plethora of questions and the gentleman working that day was not only enthusiastic about their wines, but kind and efficient as well. Made my Memorial Day weekend! TIP I brought my own cheese plate - highly recommend this to you too. read more

Here's their reply to my post. We are very aware of people with disabilities. There are two other spots, and often none of the are used. We do not block the ramp up over the curb. And we always help any of our guests out to their cars or transportation if the need or request it. We choose to do events on the weekends when there is less traffic. We have members that are disabled and they appreciate our efforts to accommodate their needs. We do maybe 5 or 6 of these per year, always in the afternoon when we are the only business that is open. Note: this picture was in the morning and the ramp is blocked. read more

I had no clue that this cute little gem existed until I found them on Groupon. I bought a wine tasting package for two and it was worth every penny. The tasting pours were standard 1 oz for 6 wines -- 3 whites and 3 reds. All were delightful and had unique tasting profiles. My favorite red was the merlot and Chardonnay for the white. The Merlot was surprisingly complex while the Chardonnay was light and bright. Service was on point so no complaints there. While they didn't have bites when I went, the server mentioned that they'll start offering them next weekend. Go visit Seal Beach Winery if you feel like having some drinks after a tiring day or even just whenever. read more

When we arrived at this spot that looks like it's in a business center we were warmly greeted by a server or host and an owner. We quickly were seated and provided to tasting glasses for our experience. We didn't wait more than five minutes for the first tasting place was clean not very many people were there, so most of the attention was on us we got to ask questions about certain names and we even left with the bottle overall very good experience. I hope they have better food options, though cause drinking all that wine on an empty stomach probably not the greatest idea. The overall ambience of the winery was very chill low music decent lighting. Definitely will come back. read more

Great service. We were able to bring our own snacks. I end up bringing pretzels and cheese. The flight of wine included six wines from different regions. It was fantastic was great. I would definitely wanna do it again. read more

Service was attentive, there was just my husband and I when we arrived 2 hours after opening. I did their wine tasting, really enjoyed their Merlot (usually not a fan) and their cab. I bought a bottle of the petite Verdot I never tried because a previous customer came in to buy multiple bottles and was raving about it. Excited to try it and be back with friends to try more! Loved that they're all local. Ambiance is quiet, comforting and inviting. Would recommend! read more

Nice little clean place. Is this the main event of the night? No. BUT it's a cute little pit stop in your day. They are no longer allowed to sell food so if you want charcuterie board you will need to bring your own. The wine tasting is very affordable and i enjoyed 4 out of the 6 wines very much so. read more

I've visited Seal Beach Winery a handful of times now and every experience somehow is better than the last. With the wine tasting I always find something new I like and end up getting a bottle to take home! I love how secluded the location is and the tasting room is a good vibe. The staff is always so friendly and helpful to answer any questions we have. I'm not a red wine drinker but their Merlot is my favorite. I always get a bottle when I am here. Definitely recommend for a date night or double date! read more

This is our second time coming to this winery. It is a long drive from Los Angeles (1hour, 15 mins. today) but it is always worth it. Janay really knew her history of each of the wines we tasted on the flight, as well as being very personable. Highly recommend this winery for anyone. read more

So great that they're offering pick up orders during the COVID shut downs!

Don't forget to tip ;) Can't wait to get back to sipping in the tasting room, but until then I'll be sipping some Seal Beach Pinot inside my house. read more

I had been wanting to check this place out for a long time. I had a Groupon deal that included tastings for 2 people and a credit to take a bottle home. This is a very nice little place tucked away in a business park in Los Alamitos. I came on a Thursday night and there were only a few small groups there. The server was very friendly and explained how the tastings work and explained the tasting menu. He then served each wine with a delightful explanation of the wine and the flavors. I really enjoyed the wine tasting selection. I'm not usually a red wine fan but I loved the Merlot. It was so smooth. My favorite white wine was the chardonnay. It had such good flavor! Definitely a nice place to stop at to grab some wine. I definitely want to go back! read more

Super cute little tasting room tucked away in Seal Beach. The place was packed when we got there midday on a Saturday and we had to wait for 20 minutes or so, which I am glad we did. Sat at the bar and did the tasting and then had a couple of glasses of the Sangiovese. Delicious! The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, overall a great experience. We will be back! Also they have a great Groupon deal. read more

What a brilliant treat! This fun little spot is quietly situated in an industrial complex. The staff are welcoming and well-spoken, as were the wines we tasted. $15 for 6 pours of really nice wines. Some of our favorites included the Grenache, a couple of their bigger Cabs, a Tempranillo, and our favourite, an amazingly rich Petit Verdot. We shared a simply delightful charcuterie board. You'll find at least one must-have bottle. I'm definitely going back. read more

How has it taken this long for me to get to this tasting room with my hometown's namesake?! A cute little place that is actually located in the city of Los Alamitos across the street from my high school alma mater. It is a bit hidden in an industrial business park kinda behind and to the side of Sizzler Restaurant. When you walk in, there is a tasting bar in the front room plus a few tables. There are also more tables in a back room where they also have wine and various wine accessories for sale. We were greeted warmly by the staff here. I brought my wine loving friend here with me for wine tasting. We elected to get a meat and cheese plate with our tasting which was very nice and accompanied our wine well. Enjoyed the wines we tasted here but my absolute favorite was the Rosé of Pinot Noir. I purchased a bottle of this to take home with me. The girl who was pouring our wine was friendly and knowledgeable. It was quite busy on the Saturday we were visiting and the place to started to fill up fast. I am glad we opted for an earlier reservation to taste. I am always glad to support small local businesses. Even happier when it is in the area I grew up in. Seal Beach Winery is a quaint little place to sample some delicious wines in North Orange County. read more

Seal Beach winery has become my family's escape from the city. Stepping through the doors, you enter a touch of the Santa Ynez Valley. The layout of the tasting rooms' a bit cramped on busy days, but the supply of good wine keeps us coming back. I certainly enjoy my visits to Seal Beach Winery, along with their pairings of charcuterie and cheese plates, and the endless conversations with other wine club members. There are a couple of young cute girls in charge. Lupe and Ganay are very attentive and knowledgeable with the wines and food pairings. read more

I rounded up to 4 but really this is a 3.5 for me. I liked the energy and people but didn't actually like any of the wines there. I was hoping to with the highly rated reviews. Also I wish I knew ahead of time no cheese plates or small bites. They are pretty cool about letting people bring in full on platters. read more

The staff here were so kind and the wine tasted wonderful. I tried the tasting option and the Pinot Grigio was def my favorite :) read more

Came her for a mother's day event. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Tried out a few wines and fell in love with their variety of cheeses. What I like is that it's a small business.

Marysol is very knowledgeable with the pairings and flavors of the wine. I can't wait for the business to succeed further more! read more

Wow! Very impressed with this place. SB Winery is located in a business plaza and is a little hidden if you're not intentionally looking for it. But once you find it, there's easy parking and access. I came here with a group of 5 and we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Lupe and Jose were our hosts and really brought the whole experience together. They were very knowledgeable about the wines! We did the 6 pourings for $15. (Plus a bonus house pouring since we couldn't make up our mind about which ones to get. Haha) Here are my favorites in order from best to least: 1. Rosé of Grenache 2016 (All around favorite. So light! So smooth! So fragrant!) 2. Sangiovese 2015 (Wasn't expecting a red wine to be in my top 3, but this is was nice surprises) 3. Pinot Grigio 2016 (No lingering aftertaste, which is always a good thing for me) 4. Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Bonus: Syrah 2011 Natalie Grace (Really smooth going down) 5. Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (A little too heavy for me) 6. Pinot Noir 2014 (Blah! Not a fan AT ALL. However, 2 people from our group liked it. So it just wasn't my cup of tea, or shall I say...wine!) The real highlight of the whole tasting was the Five cheeses and charcuterie board from Cheese Addiction. Make sure to ask for the P'tit Basque! This cheese literally melts in your mouth and is carved into a flower. So glad that this place is local. Will definitely come back for more group outings. read more

Great people, great wine selection. Sure, it's in an industrial park, but so are most breweries. Check it out!

The best hidden gem! It's a cozy place with very good wine and great customer service. Will return!

this place is truly a hidden gem - you would never expect a winery to be in this type of complex! I am so glad we stumbled upon it because it is such a breath of fresh air. my wife and I have tried several of their red wines and white wines as well as their cheese plate - you really cannot go wrong! I love their Cabernet Sauvignon and the Pinot grigio, plus the place is very relaxing with a nice chill vibe. we live so close and cannot wait to return! read more
