The Moss Beach Distillery is stunning, boasting a rich history, a captivating story, and has a phenomenal view. One thing to note about accessibility: while there are steps, I didn't spot any wheelchair access to the main entrance. The restaurant has two levels. When you first enter, you're actually on the second floor, which feels like a beautiful, elevated space. From there, you can head down to the first floor for additional seating and the restrooms. I ordered a cup of clam chowder, priced around $11, and a side of sweet potato fries, also about $11. My boyfriend went for the prawn cocktail and clam chowder. We both agreed that this clam chowder was exceptional and a step up from what we had in Santa Cruz! It was wonderfully thick and bursting with flavor. I even felt it rivaled the clam chowder I had in Monterey, which I've always considered the best. The scenery, the ambiance, and the incredibly friendly waitstaff all contributed to a truly beautiful experience. I'm so glad I decided to come here!

Eric is the owner and very friendly. The vibe is super chill and the owner is not all up in your business. Easy going and relaxed so he can seem like he is uninterested in you, but I didn't feel that was the case. His wife Lynne was also there as well, super nice and personable. There were two areas to sit, again, small place so heating was max of 12?13? A flight is $10. Many award winning wines. Don't take my word for it. :-)

We decided to try both the Sparkling Flight and the Fresh White Flight, and honestly, they were both excellent. Each flight offered a nice variety, making it easy to compare different styles without feeling repetitive. Whether you're a sparkling wine lover or prefer crisp whites, you really can't go wrong with either. We also ordered a cheese and salami board, and it paired perfectly with the wines. The selection was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully put together--simple, but exactly what you want while sipping your way through a tasting. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to answer questions or offer recommendations without ever making us feel rushed. It felt like a place where you could slow down, relax, and enjoy the experience. If I had one small note, it would be that I wish there were just a few more bites or small plates to choose from. The cheese and salami were delicious, but it left us wanting to try even more. Overall, this is such a charming little spot with great wine, quality pairings, and exceptional service. It's the perfect stop after exploring the Half Moon Bay coast, and we'll definitely be back to try more of their wines.

My buddy and I recently visited twice in as many weeks because it's just that good. The happy hour house red is a delicious bargain that makes no apology. The charcuterie board actually feeds two people quite well, unlike most places that give you a few crumbs of cheese and a slice of salami. Check the attached photo to see what I'm talking about. If you're not a wine drinker, you can check out the local Rockaway Beach IPA. Or one of the nonalcoholic options. They even have cake! Staff is friendly and efficient.
