Nice, comfortable and friendly local showroom for the small winery. Unfortunately the day we went their single African food truck was closed for the private birthday party and the bar's kitchen ran out of charcuterie board ingredients. The three tasters wine were OK and service staffs were friendly. read more

Such a great environment! Very chill and such great options. The beverage choices are great, there's no better place to get wine in Humboldt. The addition of Mother's Cooking is such a win! We had a great evening tonight, thanks Septentrio! The flavors of Havana Bowl were amazing! My wife had the portobello, I had the pork. The pork was delicious. Not dry at all and the serving size was plenty to make me happy. It was nice to have the mix of flavors to pick at and put together to customize each bite. We'll be back! read more

Stepped into Septentrio the other evening, a chill and very laidback winery thats so unpretentious its a pleasure to actually sit, sip, sample, snack, and socialize The winery has a nice selection of wines by the bottle and the glass as well as an assortment of sparkling waters and lemonade - I settled on a 2016 Russian River Cabernet that was simply sublime, smooth full bodied and rich overtones of chocolate, spice and berries it was well aged and ready for its uncorking on my visit. This is a gem of a winery located very inconspicuously in a downtown neighborhood Arcata. The backyard makes it all worth it too, a very comfortable private area to enjoy your libation choice and sit outside in mother nature. Several seating areas spread out with fire pits at a few, pairs, groups and clusters of areas allow you to pick your space accordingly. Friendly help and kind folks that work here too, everyone is very helpful and professional my server was so kind, she even brought a water dish for my little buddy. (Well behaved dog friendly) A cool winery with a great vibe thats private and relaxing on many levels - well worth a visit 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the kindest extended to my little old fur friend during my visit 00759 read more

Friendly, unpretentious yet knowledgeable staff. Classy yet warm and welcoming atmosphere. Eclectic array of wines, especially Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects the care, passion and effort of the wine maker. Elegant setting with room for groups. Back area has couches that look comfortable. Two long tables that could accommodate small groups for a celebration or an after work glass of wine. An unassuming location across from the Hatchet house and a block from Safeway in downtown Arcata. The food truck associated with the winery comes to you from the owners of the Sushi Spot a delicious combination of foods that go well with wine. We ordered both flights beginning with a brut rose, a rose and a Pinot Noir then finishing with a selection of three different Cabernet Sauvignons. All were delicious especially the selection of Cabernet. We were served and well cared for by the owner herself who was lovely and obviously dedicated to her craft. Her husband Jared is a wizard at growing and buying grapes, making each sip full of a cornucopia of flavors. We will definitely frequent this sweet local wine lovers haven. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. read more

Pros: Great winery, beautiful ambiance, delicious bubbly, live music Cons: The real housewives of Arcata have mommy wine daycare play date here. Well dress 30 something's with devil spawn running around screaming and throwing things. The momzilla's are downing wine and not watching the kids at all. ‍‍‍‍. This is not just one group. There are multiple tables with young children/babies/toddlers. This is a beautiful place & the staff is amazing. If they can afford this delicious wine, they can afford a babysitter for 2 hours. The toddlers definitely don't want to be here. Maybe a kid friendly section? Over 21 after 6? I love kids, this is not the place for a bunch of tired bored toddlers. read more

I wish I had more time to spend here because I was expecting to go in and sample a few wines but it wasn't the case. Beautiful outside setup with tons of seating. They have menus where you can order wine and bottles to drink and hangout. They also have a food truck serving food with your drinks. After hanging out for a bit and enjoying a glass of wine I had to leave, so I asked if I could pick up a few wines to go and they guided me inside where they have wine setup on draft systems. They also have the bar area where I was able to order take take to go. read more

We visited Sunday before Labor Day with a friend and we don't have enough good things to say about this place! The decor and seating is simple yet adorable. The two owners were there and had no problem chatting it up about what we liked and didn't like when it comes to wine. Not in a wine snob kind of way either,but a normal human way lol- really asking about the wines. We had a great time and between my friend and myself we walked out with 8 bottles of delicious wine. These people make you feel so welcome and I can't wait to go back! My wine rack is now stocked with just septentrio I highlighted my personal fav in the picture. The brut rose. Amazing. read more

He walked us through different wine choices, catering to our tastes and preferences. The appetizers from the food truck were delicious and complimented the delicious wine selection. There are heaters and fire pits to keep you warm on the chillier Humboldt nights, but bring a blanket just in case! Overall, we always love stopping by for date night or a girls night out. Thank you for being open and also closing when necessary to keep the community safe! Keep up the fantastic work. read more

I'm one of those girls who was born and raised in the country, but makes an effort to look like anything but that. In my younger days, I sought out city life, exulting in bright lights, impressive architecture, the feeling of being one tiny being amidst a throng. In my thirties, I've come to appreciate rural living (IF IT'S BY THE OCEAN) and have found myself feeling both at home in and in awe of my surroundings at Humboldt. Still, I do miss a city-life moment pretty consistently. That's been less of an issue since finding Septentrio Winery. It's like an oasis here that almost feels like it got plucked up from San Francisco or LA and lovingly placed in our community. It's dreamy, it's emotionally warm, and perhaps above all, it's a safe space. Service is super personable, the power couple who own it are a delight. There are always interesting people there, and people of all ages and walks of life. There are even toy trucks for kids! Dogs are welcome; everyone is warmly welcomed. Highly recommend this gem. read more

UNPOPULAR REVIEW Ive been here 3 times, twice with friends the other with my 22 yr old son. The ambience is great, location is great, wine is decent. If you're a wine mom this is the perfect spot for you. I particularly don't care to walk into a wine bar with a bunch of little kids running around while mommy brags how perfectly well behaved her kids are knocking back bottles of while during mommy & me play dates with other wine moms. It would be great if we can have an "adult only" wine bars. Not all of us like socially drinking around little kids, its like this every time I've been here. ‍ Maybe have "adult night" once a month? read more

There were only a few guests when the gates opened but wait times filled up fast as there was only one staff tending the taps and gift shop. We were second in line, so it wasn't much of a wait for us. I ordered a flight of five with regular ABVs (alcohol by volume) which included the iconic Downtown Brown, Harvest Wheat, Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout, Great White and Lost Coast Pilsner. I and the other patrons were bummed that the Indica IPA wasn't on tap so I ended up purchasing a six pack. I wanted a totally different variety of beers when we had dinner at LCB's restaurant a few nights before. The restaurant offers a flight of 6 on tap BTW. I'm more of a wine person when given a choice, but the tasting the brews of LCB was one opportunity I wasn't going to miss while I was here. I like IPA and wheat among the beers but ended up liking all of them. Even the dark stouts. Unlike, the restaurant, they only serve chips (unpacked) and salsa (sealed) here. My wife (designated driver) and son opted to get a taster of their root beer and a couple scoops of ice cream from the gift shop. We ended up purchasing a bright tie-dyed tee LCB tee and a fridge magnet.

On our way to dinner, but I guess I gave my wife the wrong GPS address and ended up here, LOL…read more Quality/Quantity - Sampled all their beer that was NOT available at their cafe. Visited their Cafe Brewery a few days prior. After trying so many samples, I settled for: Scotch Ale & Raspberry Brown (closest to a red). Atmosphere - Good size location, cool decor. Service - 6 stars. Weird that we were the only customers. So got full attention from the two team members. Currently significantly understaffed. As the two team members are only a few weeks new. So no tours, yet. Price - $16 + generous tip. Sunday is the best day to come if you are price conscious. Of course today is Wed... Owner Comments - Congrat on so many successes since 1989. Women owned! What a great history, you should share even more on your website.

What a wonderful charming little family owned winery in Lewison, CA. Off the local country road…read morebetween the town of Lewiston and Hwy 299 towards Weaverville, you will find a small winery in a small home with a lovely garden area to welcome you in. The wife/owner was a lovely woman served our tasting. The tasting room was a combination of vintage, wine and craft gift shop with a wonderful tasting bar to sample the wines. We tried the Chardonnay, Rose', Merlot, and Harvest Rogue. The tasting is $5 a person and is waived with purchase. Each wine was wonderful and we bought one bottle of each! Their wines were reasonably priced around $20. Also, we called the day before to see if they were open. There was no answer and 20 minutes later we received a call back, from Ernie asking what they could do for us! Also my son made friends with their sweet doggie!

If you like wine even a little, you need to check out this charming little winery! The wines we…read moretried were all delicious. We tried the the Chardonnay, Rose', Red Blend, Merlot, and late harvest red. All very well made. Wine maker Ernie knows what he is doing, and the delightfully affable wine pourer Crystal provides the finishing touch for an enjoyable wine tasting experience. The grounds surrounding the tasting room are green and colorful and very well kept. They're a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a picnic with a bottle of wine. The Pinot Gris and Cab Sauv weren't ready on the day we tasted, so we'll be coming back soon! Tasting fee is $5, which is waived with a purchase of two very reasonably priced wines.

Andrew was very knowledgeable of the wines and was a great host! We had an RV so we decided to park right down the hill but the walk up was not bad at all. The outside area for wine tasting was very quiet and relaxing and peaceful. We had one child who was 11 and he found a cat to play with and played with the chalk that was provided for kids. We loved the wine so much we got a box of wines !

Briceland Winery, Briceland , CA - September 22, 2024…read more We stayed here as part of the Harvest Host program where you can park your RV for the night and enjoy a scheduled wine tasting. We arrived on a Sunday morning at 10:30 am. Winery proprietor Andrew did a terrific job communicating with us before our arrival to make sure we could find the winery which is tucked away a little ways off the main road. We met Andrew and his wife Rosie when we arrived and Andrew showed us where to park under a nice shady oak tree. It helped dissipate the 90 degree heat later in the day. We got set up and then headed out for Shelter Cove - a windy, steep, 10 mile, 35 minute drive down to the ocean. Andrew gave us helpful advice about using our low gears as we drove down the steep road so we wouldn't heat up our brakes. He also gave us advice about places to eat for lunch (we ended up eating at Gyppo Ale Mill - best fried cod I've ever had) and told us about sights we might enjoy seeing, including the black sands beach. We relaxed when we got back to the winery afterwards and then at 4:30 we did a scheduled wine tasting. Rosie was our host. Andrew is normally also there for the wine tasting, but could not join us because he was processing a new batch of grapes. The experience also included a very nice charcuterie board. Rosie did a great job sharing numerous wines with us and telling us a little bit about each of them. They try to stay faithful to only using grapes from the Humboldt area. We also had the very fine pleasure of meeting a couple of fellow Harvest Host guests Jeff and Patti during the wine tasting. After the wine tasting was over, we bought several bottles of wine and a tasty dark chocolate bar that we had tried as part of the charcuterie board. Rosie let us visit with our new friends on their cozy covered patio as we enjoyed a bottle of wine and chocolate that we had just bought. We had a quiet restful night's sleep afterwards under the pitchblack starlit Milky Way sky. Overall great experience. Thank you Andrew and Rosie for sharing your beautiful property and wines with us!
