R&B cellars is one of the wineries that makes their wine at Rigger's Loft. The view of the city from this place is amazing, so check this place out if you want to relax outside and enjoy a glass of wine. Staff is really nice and friendly, they also know their wine and can recommend a glass or bottle based on your preferences. I bought a Groupon for two wine tastings and tour at R&B cellars and brought my fiancé. We loved it so much, I decided to join their Wine Club. I get a free tasting of glass for myself and a guest every time we go. Rigger's Loft has lots of weekly events including live music, food trucks, bbq's, firework shows, trivia night, oyster Sundays, paint and sip, happy hour, etc. It's a fun place for an event and we love how there is always something new going on.

Just visited this place. Very nice views of the bay and love music. Though the wine bottle that we…read morepicked was terrible. Not sure whether is was corked or just terrible by itself. Wichira Zinfandel. Please don't pick this!!! Ruins your experience. Food was not that great but edible given this is not a restaurant.

REVIEWER # 4 I first…read morediscovered Caria Wines during Taste of Richmond at Riggers Loft Winery and I'm so happy to have found this place! Relevantly new, this winery was founded in 2005 and made wine at the local winery in Alameda at Rock Wall Wine Company. As we all know, Rock Wall grew business really quickly and Caria Wines had to find another home. Caria Wines was discovered by two close friends: Charlie and Dick. Dick supplied the grapes and Charlie, with his amazing wine-making skills came together to create their first bottle of the 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (my personal favorite). Now they are nestled in Richmond with beautiful views overlooking the Bay Bridge and views of San Francisco, what more could you ask for? Carica Wine focuses on Red Rhone's, however, since I am not a big red wino I decided to try there tasty Sauvignon Blanc, which is really tasty and one of their popular whites on the white wine side of things. They offer Wine tastings and tours at their new location which is at the Riggers Loft, on the edge of San Francisco Bay in Richmond's Shipyard District. They also offer a Caria Wine Club which gives you: 20 % discount for wine purchases, Free tasting flight of Carica wines at the Tasting Room, 4 shipments per year( February, May, September, and November -- each with 4 bottles selected by the Winemaker) and best of all? Free to join! I will certainly be back to try more of their tasty wines!

I 'm looking forward to the Grenache on a picnic this summer. All the wines were low tannins and acid which is what I like. The fruit was bold and lush. So many to try.

The wine is decent, the place is interesting, the live music is usually local and good. The owner isn't the most chatty guy around but his place is a nice amenity for Richmond as they have a few events here every month. Recommended! Add a lovely walk on the bay to make it even better :-)

This ship was used as a cargo ship during WWII, Vietnam and Korean Wars. It was built in Richmond,…read moreCA and is now located at the same shipyard where it was built. There are guided (takes you to the engine room) and self-guided tours; both are educational. The ship is managed by the Richmond Museum of History and the loving caretakers are volunteers. There is a small gift shop and theatre. Their existence is based on donations, pancake breakfasts, movie/hall rentals, and gift shop. The ship is not suited to persons with limited mobility. You have to walk up this steep, shaky steel ladder to get on board. Once on board, you have to walk up narrow stairs to go up and down floors. The engine room's ladder to go down was very steep. You couldn't see the rung of the next step. If you have a phobia, this is not for you. Just avoid the engine room. Aside from that, the ship was interesting and if you are a WWII history buff, this ship is worth seeing.

I always walk around pt Richmond area being a Richmond native myself. But this is my first time on…read morethis ship, it was a spur of the moment thing on a Sunday while walking around the area. I'm glad I came on. It was a great start to 2025. Although the outside is rusting and really aging, the interior of the ship, the rooms are pretty much well kept. You can take your time to explore and read things on the self guided tour which me and my friend did. The inside of the ship is surprisingly very lively. There's a store, a dance room, and lots of the employees in their offices. It was a pleasant surprise. Apparently they have many things going on this ship like pancake days and other events. I would highly recommend keeping an eye constantly on your kids if they are crazy and like to run around a lot as this is not the place to be running around wildly. You can literally open any doors that's not locked and some leads to a dark area with pits that you can't see the bottom of. The railing on the higher levels have huge gaps that a kid can easily pass through if they rolled over and the fall (especially the last two upper deck levels) is guaranteed fatal. I focused more on exploring so didn't take much pictures. It is very likely I will be back on this ship again.

Great food and wine tour through Tiburon with Renee. It was a small group so we got a very…read moreintimate tour to the RR Museum, Tiburon Tavern, Sams, Luna Blue, Cafe Renzo, and the Tiburon overlook. We all started at the Tiburon RR Mueum where we got a nice overview of the areas history. Who knew this was all a giant Railroad yard at one time? Tried a variety of great foods and wine along the way. They were prepared especially for us by the chefs at each restaurant. Had some delicious deviled eggs and hush puppies with honey butter at the tavern. It was served with a good glass of Chardonnay though I don't recall the name. At Sams had a delicious shrimp dish with crunchy toast. It was paired with a JCB Rose from Province that Renee brought She also gave us some lavender cheese which was a perfect complement to the wine. Went next door to Luma Blue and were served eggplant parmigiana paired with a bold Tuscan Red. Strolled to the cafe owned by the same family and got coffee with cannoli. To top it off we had Meyers port from Anderson Valley with a crunchy cookie (also from the cafe) at the top of Tiburon. It was a great unrushed tour through some of Tiburon's finest restaurants for delicious food and wine pairings. Great way to enjoy the town or to host out of town guests.

The weather was wonderful and we really enjoyed our time with Viv as she navigated us from venue to venue. The food and wine selections were tasty and Viv's knowledge of Tiburon and surrounding areas made for fun conversation throughout. I would recommend this as a team activity, or would also love to try this with a small group of friends!

They are prepared w/ a Luxury black shuttle van. Paul (our driver) was so informative and so knowledgeable about the Sonoma and Napa History. I appreciate how they already had an itinerary planned out for the day. We visited 4 wineries which one had a wonderful farm to table lunch waiting for us (which this was included in ticket price) Each winery visited made us feel at home/great stories/great people and great wine waiting for us upon arrival! Wine tasting fees are addl around $35-40 per person. Our last winery visited Paul helped us to get TSA approved shipping boxes which wine got home safely! Wish we could've stayed longer at Buena Vista and Sangiacomo. Would highly recommend wine trolley/bus tour and felt ticket price was reasonable for having great service/knowledgeable driver/lunch for an all day tour.

Dave made this so easy, I give him a few ideas and he cultivated and crafted it to life. I couldn't believe how meticulous and beautiful the day was. My sister was truly brought to tears. There was a customized champagne flute, a customized birthday welcome sign on an easel, fresh flowers, balloons, the colors and decor were honestly all on point!!! We were even able to come up with a chef inspired menu to hit the notes of our food favorites and Dave even has menu customized and laminated for the event. The crewmembers were some of the nicest top-notch service personnel we've ever met. We were even able to come up with a drink menu and they were bartenders on deck too! Truly was white glove service all around. If you put your contract in with Marquis Charters, you will not be disappointed as every dollar will be worth it!!!

I got there and saw a sign that said "Appointments Required" which almost turned me away but I decided to drive down the dirt road since the gates were open anyways. I arrived at the tasting room which was quite nice looking. After walking up to the counter the staffmember I talked to apologized for not having their private chef there but gave me the rundown of their offerings. The tasting price was unexpected but I guess I'm just used to how things were in the early 2000s when tastings in Sonoma were a lot more casual. I decided to just dive in and got two bottles to go. I think this place is more of a destination than I expected, which is cool, it was very much a nice spot to visit. I'll probably come back in the summer to get the full experience.

Tucked in the industrial section of Cutting Blvd, the backyard is worth a weekend stop. From the…read moregravelled parking lot to the old sofas, live music, and a food trailer on what was once an abandoned lot, I loved this family- and dog-friendly spot. There are even games in the yard. A real surprise was the food. I had the avocado toast it was tasty, I would order it again. When I tasted the beef Philly I was ready to order one to go, but they had sold out. The rest of my friends had burgers, the vegetarian had fries, even the dog had a pup patty, and everyone enjoyed the food The music was almost too loud; however, because the stage is outside, it was not too uncomfortable. We heard two different bands. The loud music did make it hard to have a conversation. A word of warning that does not affect my rating: bees and yellow jackets are everywhere. There is nothing that the Backyard can do to keep these pests out of the yard.

While I got the Keller Beach Chicken Burger was also so good the chicken in other places is usually pretty dry but here it was just as juicy with all fresh veggies to go with it was amazing. Also we had our two dogs with us today the fact that they sell patties for dogs was a nice surprise our dogs enjoyed a quick snack with us. While yes there are no indoor seatings there are some outdoor seating with shade for a nice sunny day, listening to live music watching some others dance. It was a relaxing area to have as a hangout either by yourself, your partner or even as a group. I truly loved going to this place and definitely coming back!
