My fiancée and I had an amazing experience at the blending lab. It was clear to us that the owners are truly passionate about their business. I had reached out via email to inquire about their late policy due to our work schedules (I wanted to try to schedule the Valentine's Day booking but felt like it would be too late). Magdalena, one of the owners, had got back to me and responded that they were flexible and recommended the booking for the day after if it would better accommodate our schedules and that the Valentine's Day snack would be available to purchase, which was very reassuring for me. Upon our arrival, not only did they remember me from our one email communication, they had already set aside the Valentine's Day snacks for us. Very thoughtful! The wine selections were either for red or white for blending and cause my fiancée and I wanted to try the best of both worlds (we both had selected white initially), they were able to accommodate the change with no hesitation. Our instructor, Dave, was amazing and the guided class was full of fun information and neat anecdotes. The guided class was very helpful in identifying things to look for in wine which can contribute to certain attributes, like taste, sweetness and such. Very light-hearted and, again, an amazing experience. Highly recommend for a date night or those who just want to learn more about wine. Oh and they also let you cork your own bottle! read more

My friend is a member of their Wine Club and always speaks so highly of it. When visiting LA recently I had the opportunity to come visit with her. We were treated so nicely and it was great to taste their wines and learn about their business. The location is very accessible and it was a great setup to enjoy wine with friends. I loved the passion Chris has when he speaks about the wines. I can't wait to go back and try more when I am in the area. read more

We saw Instagram that The Blending Lab moved into our neighborhood and the opening party was last night. We immediately walked over and I was trying to get more info on what they're all about and I left confused. I considered hosting a party at blending lab in the past & I was under the impression that we blend our own wine. Yesterday I asked the guy behind the counter some questions and he didn't mention this option at all. He said we can taste wine and pay for a glass...I was actually trying to learn more about the business, not the offerings at the opening party . I'm truly invested in putting beautiful West Adam's on the map, I love and purposely made an effort to move into this neighborhood. Maybe next time I'll learn more about what they'll be offering at this new location. They have a cute interior plus a small outdoor area with string lights. I was a bit surprised the glass of wine was $20 which isn't competitive for this area (the area is not nice enough yet) but I know costs are getting high. I do want to support businesses moving into our community but I'd like them to take into consideration that this is still south LA and a lot of people who grew up in this neighborhood isn't a fan of the gentrification and pricing the businesses charge I do feel for them, people like me moving into the neighborhood hasn't helped but even for me I thought it was a bit much. I'll continued observing but nonetheless am happy to see something be open up. Maybe I'll take a class one day if that's still an option and update my review. read more

Visits to the Blending Lab are always a fun experience! The owners and staff are fun to talk to and knowledgeable and I don't think I've ever really had a wine of theirs that I didn't like! The atmosphere is casual and friendly and they have interesting blends and fun and varied events. Their wine club membership is reasonably priced and gives you access to the new releases as well as tastings every month! Do yourself a favor and check out this place! They also have a Paso Robles location. read more

A really nice date experience! I came on a Sunday at 1 pm and there were 4 other people there so it was almost like a private class. Michael was super knowledgeable on blending so it was fun to just learn about wine basics as someone who's not knowledgeable at all. They are super generous with the amount of wine you get - it's way too much for me personally but a memorable time! read more

It was a happy accident finding this place and I'm mad I didn't know about it earlier! This place is super cute and well themed! Great date night spot wink wink gentlemen!!! We did the self guided which was a lot of fun acting like we knew wine but in reality, guessed all the wine wrong! We came on a trivia night which was a lot of fun and Devon (I believe that was his name) was such a funny and great host! read more

First - their wine blending classes are AMAZING. Their wine is great. Membership is totally worth the price. They plan community events and it's not far from our place which is a bonus! Definitely recommend hitting them up in LA and, if you're in Paso, they have a tasting room there too! read more

The Blending Lab Winery - Live music (Jimmy Pearson) at The Blending Lab, with some limited Rosé. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fun and creative date night! My then bf and I went on date night at the Blending Lab Winery. We were able to mix blends to our preferences/palate and left with a decent sized bottle of customized wine that we blended ourselves. The host was very informative, funny, and friendly. There were 3 other couples with us, and the private room accommodates up to 8 people. Being a lightweight, I did drink a tad too much too quickly and had to pull over so I can puke. Lol. What a night. Limited street parking in the neighborhood streets, get there early. read more

Just when you think you know something...BAM you learn more and realize you didn't as much as you thought. My friend gifted me with a red wine blending class and it's now etched in our favorite friendship activities. We arrived close to class time and were taken to the back teaching room. The class looks like it holds 10-12 people and there were 8 of us which was a perfect amount. We had such a good time with the group. We were given mini workbooks that provided details about the process and left room to make notes. We learned about a few varietals and how to blend the perfect red for you! We were even able to blend our own bottles. Even if you don't want to take the class, there's a small bar and a few tables in the front. Looked like a cute place to grab some glasses before dinner. We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. read more

The wine tasting experience was awesome! We went for my birthday as a group and I had an amazing time!!

I signed up for the wine blending class as a gift for my sister ($55 per person + $45 for a wine bottle of your own blend to go). The class was awesome - taught by Jenna - who was funny, informative and super nice. There were about 15 people in the class, which was about 2 hours long. You first learn about some of the basics of wine, terminology, etc. You then get three single varietals and go through some exercises to learn about them (acidity, body, smell, etc). Then it's off to blending! They give up is couple suggestions and you can also try your own combinations. If you purchase the bottle to-go, you tell them your combination and that's what gets bottled foe you to take. You also can skip that part, the class on its own is still really fun. Overall, it was super fun! A lot of pairs were there that had received this class as a gift. A really fun activity for all wine lovers, whether you know nothing or everything about wine! Everyone was having a great time. read more

Super awesome time at The Blending Lab! We were invited to a corporate event and feel just incredibly lucky to be inttrduced to the place! Michael, CEO and Co-Owner, was so patient and impossibly knowledgeable! Great information and an immersive experience! There are no wrong answers, so put you mind at ease and dive in to the world of wine tasting! You are GUARANTEED to learn a thing or two, and doubly GUARANTEED to have fun! Perfect anytime experience. Great team-building for corporate events, a n excellent date night/afternoon, or just for your own indulgence! Can't recommend more highlyand I definitely want to return. read more

The experience was so much fun, and really informative. It felt like a great introduction to the world of wine making! Beyond that I left my sunglasses and they were incredible and mailed them to me since I live in Orange County. I am definitely going back and bringing friends!!! read more

Our go-to spot for wine-tasting, conversation and an always interesting schedule of special events! The new West Adams location is spacious, fits an entire library of wine and even has outdoor space where you can enjoy your wine in the warmth of a fireplace. All of the above is what drew our interest right away, but the people (Chris, Mags and Mike) are what keep us coming back! read more

I discovered this place when I was looking for a Christmas gift for my brother and his girlfriend. When I found out that they do wine blending classes (currently on Zoom), I got so excited and knew this would be the perfect gift! I raved about it so much to my husband that he decided it would also be the perfect Christmas gift for ME. So the week before the class, they shipped us our blending kit: 3 pouches of different kinds of wine, and a few mixing tools that looked like they came straight out of chemistry class. On the day of the class, the four of us hopped on Zoom to learn how to taste different aspects of wine (acidity, bouquet, viscosity, etc.) and how to blend by balancing these different aspects. We got to try a few different blends and then make our own custom blend. They also include an empty wine bottle in the kit so you can bottle your favorite blend at the end. This was such a fun and unique experience, I would highly recommend it! read more

My friend took my here for my birthday and we had so much fun learning about blending wines. We got to try several blends, and this is such a fun idea for a party. It was funny because this was a public class and all but four of us were from a birthday party and they were getting lit which was pretty funny. I could see this as a fun date night too. read more

Amazing wine - great people and atmosphere. Wine tasting with my wife and pup, what a dream!

They had an extremely loud band playing, asked if they could turn down the music or seat us outside and the owner proceeded to snap and yell at me. It was an easy fix but instead he yelled at us. Very non accommodating to those who have hearing or sensory issues with very rude staff read more

Really cool wine tasting room in the Beverly Grove area. Blending is all of the rage here and almost all of the wines here are blended. We did a wine tasting here which was great but costs a whopping $40. If you go the wine glass route - it will set you back $20 a glass. If the prices weren't so ridiculous I'd visit this wine tasting room on a frequent basis. This is the type of place where everyone could know your name. read more

The Blending Lab Winery - a row of glasses and a bottle of wine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Took a class pre-COVID-19 that was mostly fun. I'm all for being the expert in the room because we are literally paying for your expertise, but there is a way of teaching without coming off as cocky. For me, the teacher was a bit of that, too flashy and cocky that begged the question if this person wanted people to feel small. But to be fair, the other party in the room had clearly arrived a little drunk and maybe this was also a management technique on the teacher's part to keep the session moving along. Still, I think you learn a lot and the cost is worth what you get to learn and taste. Overall, I would come back in a post-COVID world because it would make a fun date or party. read more

So I decided that I wanted to take the wine blending class for my birthday. But because of the pandemic the hubby and I chose to do it virtually. And we had a great time. The instructor was very knowledgeable, and made sure that we felt apart of the class as well. There were only 4 people taking the class in person, while we were being projected onto their big screen. The kit included everything we needed for the class: 3 bottles of wine, beakers, and an instruction manual which made it easy to follow along with the instructor. We had a small glitch with zoom, but it was quickly fixed and we continued on with the class. We loved it!!! And now I have a bottle of wine that we blended together. My only suggestion is that they add a white wine or rose blending class. Great class though, and as a tip one kit is more than enough for two people to blend with. read more

The Blending Lab Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Walking in I liked the atmosphere of the place but I guess it was a sign at the beginning that it was pretty empty on a Saturday night. While I enjoyed the fact that my friends and I were able to play games while we had our wine flight I thought it was way overpriced ($15!) for not only what you get but the quality of the wine too. You get 3 small pours. Super tiny and I only ended up liking 1 another was ok and the third terrible. I won't be going back. read more

The Blending Lab Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by here as we were waiting for friends to come as they were running late for dinner. Super enjoyed my husband and I brief stop into this establishment. The concept is circled around the idea of mixing different types of wine together. Which although I've known has been done it's difficult to think about how they come up with their different combinations. Ordered the wine flight and one additional glass to share. The lady behind the counter was super helpful in answering any of our questions and offered to switch out any wines we may not like in our flight if we didn't like the sample she provided first. I appreciate the originality behind the concept and they also hold classes and events where you can learn about mixing of wines which is absolutely fascinating. Although I wish the space was more inviting, it's very bare bones minimum and doesn't allow for much space to get comfortable, lots of metal and concrete. And perhaps this might be a personal preference, I like to drink my wine in a more lounge like atmosphere. Would come back for the mixing wine class they offer but based on my preferences wouldn't be my choice for a post dinner drink. read more

I attended a blending class with a friend here and it was awesome. Had a great time, laughed a lot and the staff was super fun.

Cute and trendy spot. But, intimate. We ordered flights at our table celebrating a birthday. For many it was their first experience. I thought it was awkward for a wine bar to have the channel on AMC. I am a Walking Dead Fan... but to sip wine and watch bloody gore was a little strange, lol. But, after a few glasses you will forget what's on TV. The wine was delicious and customer service was good. A class was going on in the back room. I am definitely interested in taking one of those classes. You learn blending and you get to craft your own wine. read more

The Blending Lab Winery - Birthday Celebration at The Blending Lab. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Decided to take a blending class with the BFF for her birthday present and took the husband as the third wheel. Didn't know what to expect, but read reviews that the booze would be flowing a plenty so decided to eat dinner beforehand and it was one of the best decisions ever! Class started at 7pm and ended around 9pm, so give yourself roughly two hours for the activity. For the first half, we delved into the different aspects of wine tasting including the color, smell and taste characteristics. Then came the fun, hands on portion of blending the wine and seeing how the different wines complemented each other, creating a totally different product. It gets pretty messy by the end since you're plenty of glasses in and trying to do the math and measuring! Overall a great experience for a girls night out or date night! read more

Such a cool and unique concept that combines two of my favorite things: wine and science! The Blending Lab is split into two areas: a front tasting room and a back private area for the blending experience. I did the red wine blending session and it was amazing!!! It was educational, delicious, boozy and fun. In this session you taste several different varieties of red wine and learn about the different flavors they impart. A wine expert shows you how to smell and taste the wine. You then use beakers and graduated cylinders to experiment with making your own blends. Once you find a blend that you like, you make a full 750mL bottle and cork it yourself! This is one of the most unique wine experiences I have ever had and I highly recommend it as an activity for your favorite wine loving friends. They can accommodate up to 8 people per session. There are lots of good restaurants down the street for pre and post wine guzzling sustenance. I recommend eating before arriving, as the wine flows I abundance in the lab. read more

My friend introduced me to the Blending Lab. I'm sold! Hands down the Wine is amazing! GSM - Grenache, Syrah & Malbec blend Is my #1 choice ! But every blend I've tried I loved! They offer blending classes, I can't wait to book this for our next TEAM Building event. The owners are very friendly! My first experience was with Chris. Open arms.... it felt as if I already had known him. Very welcoming and knowledgeable ! I try to come in at least twice a month if not more. Well worth my travel time! Try it for yourself! You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been here a couple times now and really love this place! Awesome owners Mags and Mike have a great concept going here and it's really a good time. We popped in for a splash and tried a flight for $15. It was 3 different wines and the pours were generous for a tasting. Their blends are lovely and unique with all the varietals being from California. They have mostly reds right now, but are going to have more whites soon. Currently they are pouring Chardonnay and Viognier and they are both very good. Lots of very interesting red blends with different bodies of Cabs, Syrah, and Zin that are blended beautifully together. Price points are fair and even in the $30-45 range. We joined their wine club, which is 5 bottles every few months. If you're local you can pick up and avoid the shipping that gets costly with every wine club out there and one of the reasons why we have ended up canceling so many other memberships in the past. With the membership you get 20% off future purchases, including the Blending Lab events, which I cannot wait to get a group together to try. I have a strong penchant for supporting local, small, family/couple ran businesses and this is a good one offering one of my most favorite things in the world. Come in and try what they have. Mags is very passionate in the way she shares her knowledge of wine and how they make it. Dog friendly too! Say hello to their cute mixed breed, Cafe Au Lait underneath the counter. read more

Prior to going to this place for their wine mixing class I neither knew anything about wine nor did I like wine. I can safely say that after this class, I know a LOT more about wine, but I still don't like wine (not their fault). Michael, our teacher was very knowledgeable about wine and very friendly; he was/is great. Mixing and learning about the wines was a lot of fun and everyone in my group had a great time. I would strongly recommend this place and I will probably go back here with my wife and some friends just because it is a fun time. I'm sure that their wine is great too, but I'm just not a wine drinker. If someone like me who doesn't even like wine can give this place 5 stars, then that says a lot (at least I think so). read more

Came here randomly with a friend after seeing a wine tasting sign outside. This place is a cute gem. Great place to chill with friends or bring a date. It's small and cozy. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. We did a tasting of 3 flights for $15. Not bad price and really enjoyed the wines. Will be coming here again. Parking in this area can be tricky. Meters or street parking. Uber is best. read more

I'm so happy this place has moved in! Sometimes you just want a little wine tasting and not have to drive 3 hours for it. My boyfriend and I have visited several times now. I'm actually not a big drinker but enjoy a great glass of wine and I have found it here. I love reds and really enjoy their ZPS but their Chardonnay was what knocked my socks off! Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it to any of their pairing events and I'm dying to. Pie, cupcakes, cheese... I will definitely make it to one! read more

This is my favorite local hangout! After Pilates one evening I walked by and saw a bunch of people laughing and enjoying wine. I love wine so I walked in and had a tasting. Fell in love with their wine and became a member that night. I consider myself a wine connoisseur, but would end up at Ralphs, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods or local liquor stores in search of wines. After tasting the wine that The Blending Lab mixes from locally grown grapes I haven't been able to enjoy store bought wines. I'm forever spoiled. The owners Mags, Michael and Chris put their hearts into the wine tasting room and the creation of their blends. It's fun to hang out. They are friendly plus I've made new friends here. The space is inviting. They have many events such as wine + cheese, wine + cupcakes, wine + chocolate pairings as well as a wine lab class that Michael teaches. People love it. I want to try it although I love their mixes already. I did partake in a wine + painting class which was so much fun. They also have a tv screen and will be showing Game of Thrones. They have a lot of social events and I find myself coming in for a glass or 2 and hanging out. But the truth is I can't drink wine anywhere else because their wine is so good. You get what you pay for. I'd much rather enjoy a spectacular glass of wine here than buy a cheap $10 bottle at Trader Joe's. read more
