I've been here a few times for events. One time was an outdoor grape stomping contest--so much fun! We made a t-shirt with our grape-stained feet! We danced in the roped-off street to Doc Kraft. We played skee ball that day, too. We've danced indoors, too. My favorite is Jay Lewallen, who has sometimes paired with other musicians. I love his cover of the song Rusty Cage. We've played bingo there a few times, too. Trek Winery's Sangiovese wine is my absolute favorite. It's a cozy, neighborhood place with tall ceilings. The back patio has a lovely water feature. Everyone who works there is personable and helpful. They always have a few items that would make interesting gifts like candle holders from barrel planks, at times. read more

This is a great wine bar in downtown Novato. It is a couple blocks away from Grant Ave. A few of my girlfriends introduced me to Trek while back. Since then I've been back a several times. They sell beer, red and white wine and champagne by the glass. The last time I was there one of the staff mentioned they will be selling more champagne which is great news since I'm a bubbles girl! They have a food menu as well. I've tried a couple of their flatbreads which are tasty. Last year they started to host bingo for various organizations in their big venue space. It's lots of fun and for great causes. The schedule is the first Sunday of every month and every Tuesday evening. There is also comedy shows, chair massage events and live music in the main area. read more

Went to Trek Wine for the comedy show. It was something fun to do local in Novato. The chairs were a little uncomfortable, and make sure you grab your cocktail before you go in to see the show because nobody brings you wine while you're watching the show. It was a great price, and I can't wait to go again read more

I enjoy Trek Winery as well as its beer section. I live in Novato and frequently stop in for a tasting. The wines are very good and the staff is always very knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend this special merchant in Novato, CA. Lee L read more

Love their karaoke nights with Rich Rogers and their guest comedians. I usually get their barbera wine. This is my goto place for fun in Novato. read more

Victoria was awesome. She made sure that I got everything I wanted and she was very helpful with letting me sample one of the beers that I was really interested in. I have to say that the beer selection was off the hook because I looked for Barley wines and they are one of the few places that serve a great barley wine, but it also turned out that the stat was incredible. everyone and I mean everyone at our table was thoroughly happy with everything they got and that the service was family and friendly plus I got to tell you right now. That music was amazing. Two guys sounded like a full band. It was great. Matt was a great bass player but Jay rocked it with that guitar. I just love the music that came with this place on Wednesday night and be sure to bring a tie-dye T-shirt that'll make you a hero. read more

Trek Winery - Awesome. - Wineries Near Me - Novato, California

Great spot in historical downtown novato. Wines are well crafted and stand up well to the multitude of California wines Available this area. The service is great, the owner was gracious and took good care of us. The atmosphere is comfortable and has live music in the evenings. Definitely worth a try at any time of day and recommend you stop by and give it a look. read more

This was a very unexpected stop on our tour. The owner was so knowledgeable, the place had a great vibe!

Trek Winery has good wine, a comfortable atmosphere and plenty of varied entertainment. We especially like listening to Jay's music on Wednesday evening! read more

I suppose its a nice place. I don''t drink wine or beer. Hubs said the beer was great, my sister in law said the wine, not so much. We went to Trek for a comedy show. We saw people eating but never saw a menu, nor were we offered one. Maybe those people brought food in? The winery itself is lovely. Indoor and outdoor seating and you will probably run into people you know. Small town and all. The comedy show as just okay, until the headliner came on. The rest should probably not quit their day jobs. read more

A very low-key winery compared to Mantra, but they pour decent wines, and they poor heavy. The tastings run about $14, and every glass is filled like if you ordered a an actual glass of that wine. I recommend the Syrah (off menu) and not the Pinot, and going after 4pm so that their kitchen is open. The interior is outfitted with lots of couches and plush chairs so you can easily spend a couple by of hours here. They've also got a patio outside as well. Service is fantastic, so make a trip when you've got the chance. read more

Trek Winery - Interior - Wineries Near Me - Novato, California

I recently revisited and was quite impressed. In all fairness, my first visit was shortly after reopening from COVID shelter, and the offerings were not great. However, I was pleased with the nibbles offered recently that went great with the wines. We didn't do tastings, but enjoyed a couple glasses of wine over a two hour visit with friends. The space is comfortable and background music was perfect! Location is more off the beaten path of downtown which made it more enjoyable. Would highly recommend. read more

Came back to Trek on 11/26 and it didn't disappoint after years since my first review! We had the sausage and pepperoni pizza, then opted for the pork sliders as well. A flight of red/white and we left happy! Nice people, nice ambiance, reasonably priced! read more

My wife and I were fresh off a weekend nap when we decided we wanted to get a glass of wine somewhere. Trek is a frequent location for previous visits on the same wavelength, and as we pulled up, we remembered that on this specific Sunday, the Cousins Lobster Food Truck was parked here for the day! A glass of Trek Cabernet for me (soda for the wife), a relaxing place to sit outside, and two lobster rolls - the best I've had in on the West Coast - and we were revived. Similar scenarios play out continuously at Trek Winery, our favorite hangout in Marin County for the past couple of years. In addition to excellent (and affordable) wine - the Trek Cabernet has simply become my go-to Red, and it's delicious, served by some of the nicest people you'll meet anywhere. Their other pours are both affordable (particularly for a very good product) and individualistic. Live comedy and music are also on-hand, bringing an amalgamation of styles that always delight. There are some headliner comedians as well as throwbacks (anyone remember the Unknown Comic from the old Gong Show?). Tour buses show up from time to time, and the last time one visited, we had a marvelous long chat with three visitors from the UK. Talk about a new way to create social connectivity, particularly as the pandemic wanes. Andy and Liz own and run Trek Winery, and they're as delightful as the surroundings. Andy can almost always be seen getting things ready, serving food, beer (yes, they make beer too!) and wine. They're proud business owners and they should be - for us, Trek Winery has no peer, and we're continually delighted to give them our business. Also I should mention, they run private events (as if we left anything out). They product olive oil and my wife's favorite candles, as well! Visit Trek Winery - it's a one-of-a-kind Marin/North Bay experience. read more

Love their wine and playing bingo is lots of fun!! Recommend it highly!! Go play bingo and have a glass of their delicious wine

We recently hosted our company Holiday party in the banquet room at Trek Winery. The room was perfect, plenty of space to mingle and plenty of seating. There are wine barrels lining the walls, a large stage area on one side of the room and a bar area on the other. Food was provided by Trek and it was amazing, the tri-tip and chicken were great. Kids and adults approved! The staff was very helpful in setting up, providing all the place settings, tables, drinks, food, glassware, microphone, music, etc. If you are looking for an easy venue to host an event with little to no stress of planning I highly recommend Trek Winery. read more

Well, this wasn't what I thought we would experience when going to a winery. This place is much more like a bar than a winery as it isn't on a vineyard. I did like that we got to taste a variety of wines that were mostly tasty. If you're staying nearby, it's worth a stop. read more

Amazing wine and food. Really conformable environment. They have great events, from comedy shows to live music. They even have live karaoke where you get to sing with a live band! read more

Trek Winery - Entrance and outside patio area. - Wineries Near Me - Novato, California

Fun little hang out spot to catch up with your friends, wine down from the work week, and/or drinks with your date. The owners are really friendly and they even opened past closing time because they were having a good time with the people still enjoying their wine. They have a big open area with big and small tables and 3 separated rooms for more privacy. They also have a shuffle board in the back. Once you walk in, to the right is the tasting area. They offer a red, white or mixed flight and bottles for purchases. I enjoyed the Quixote red blend! read more

Andy, Stop Yelling & Insulting long time customers. And i wont be coming to shows with a $20 cover when we can see the same band for free at Big Rock Deli. read more

Nice "urban" winery with knowledgable, friendly staff. It's also a brewery, so they have a selection of beer on tap. Server was very helpful in selecting a wine/beer, and if you order a tasting flight, it goes towards any bottle purchases you make that day. They had live Jazz music while we were there, which was a nice surprise. read more

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." - Captain James Tiberius Kirk OK, so this winery has absolutely nothing to do with Star Trek, but a nerd can hope right? And I was overly hopeful by showing in my Star Fleet uniform. Oh well... Overall its a nice place, with very nice inside lounge and outdoor patio. The staff was friendly, and amused, by us. The $5 Tasting fee is very reasonable, especially compared to the $15-25 fees you'll see in Napa. Wines were good enough, but I'm not much of a wine snob as I stick to the $4-6 wine bottles at Trader Joes. This is definitely a very nice alternative to crappy dive bars in Novato. Beam me up Scotty. read more

I've heard about this place for awhile and we decided it was time. The fact they are dog friendly helped The wine here is very nice and the staff is super helpful to help you decide what you want to taste. The tasting price is super reasonable. They mentioned that they will be bringing their own beer on board so I'm looking forward to coming back for that. There is some entertainment during the week and that sounds like fun. Overall this is a great place for wine tasting, a glass of wine and soon a beer on draft read more

Many thanks to Andy at Trek Winery! Trek hosted my wife's surprise birthday party in the banquet room. That's great room with wine barrels lining the side walls, a stage on one end and an awesome wine and micro brewery station on the other end. Trek staff were super helpful in setting up the room and tables, providing easels, safe battery operated candles, mic and sound system. The room has a wonderful red wine oak barrel aroma. They have a full kitchen and prep area for the caters to work with ease. Andy and his staff are super friendly and his room rental and wine and beer rates were really reasonable. Thank you Trek for helping me throw and great and easy surprise party! read more

I had my 10 year high school reunion here and it was a huge success. Andy and Michael were really easy to work with, the wine and beer options were excellent, the flatbread pizzas were amazing, and everything ran really smoothly. It was a 10/10 experience and I would recommend trek to anyone looking to host an event. read more

We love Trek. We have stopped in on many occasions and bought their wine. We were always waited on by very helpful and knowledgeable staff and love the ambience. It is clean, comfortable, and the just the perfect place to relax after a long day. It is a perfect place to take out if town guests as well! They serve great food as well. We just love it! Everyone we have ever recommended this too, has loved it as well. read more

Great downtown novato gem. This place is set up wonderfully with great indoor and outdoor space. My wife enjoyed our glasses of Pinot and also ventured to the new open PODS brew space for some delicious ipas. This place is also great because it is very family friendly as we brought our daughter and they have games for kids to play. We will be back many more times ! read more

We went here on a wine tour and enjoyed the whole experience of wine, music and great conversations with the locals. Their wine was the best from the tour!!! read more

A great place to host an event or just have a glass wine with friends. I 'be done both. The staff is friendly and the treat everyone like family! If you plan on hosting an event there, they will definitely take care you. It is extremely well managed. I can't recommend Trek Winery enough. read more

Just had the worst experience at Trek Winery ever I took my mother there for Mother's Day yesterday to try the wines. She loves red wine and she's visiting from out of town. Usually I have heard nothing but great experiences here today was like no other. At first the lady did not want to even serve me a tasting or give my mom an experience of trying some red wines before she decided on the glass. she asked if I was a wine member and suggested I get a flight or buy a bottle instead of letting my mom try the wines first. I am a wine club member and I always enjoy my time at Trek but yesterday the woman gave some piss pour service to my mom on Mother's Day. Very Disappointing. I will let Andy, the owner know how I was treated. read more

If you want a good glass of wine then you should come here. They are great. If you want to hold a fabulous party and entertain friends or family while Drinking wine, then come here. Great place and a great atmosphere. It's very California cool. Laid back and chill. read more

Love this place!!! Food is good and their Zinfandel is delicious!!! One of my favorite places and just so relaxing!!

FYI, this will be a review with some "OOOOMPH" behind it. Firstly, it was a perfect evening. My lady and I did a one day get away from the bustling city into the Novato. We had a delightful Air Bnb and I wanted to plan something additional. Fast forward to our Trek Winery experience. Arrived around 7:30pm post Whole Foods supply run (the Winery allows you to bring your own food at this time; we got crackers, cheeses, salmon, olives, you name it!). Started off the night with wine tastings and conversation with Andy (owner). Left feeling fulfilled, full, grapey and energized with the atmosphere that this winery has created. The environment combines a very comfortable home feel with that of a getaway vacation experience. From wall murals to the incredible hospitality of connection, the owner and workers allowed us to feel like family. There were fireplaces, branches on the ceiling, and combining that with honey, olive oil and INCREDIBLE wine, we indulged. Trek Winery is a get away and wherever you may be in Novato I encourage you to stop by. It is an oasis for all. p.s. the Syrah was MAGIC! Thank you Trek Winery. read more

I went to visit Trek Winery in Novato. I was very impressed with their customer service. The owner, Andy, was very hospitable. I really enjoyed their wines. I myself am in the wine industry and have formally studied European and American wines. I would definitely recommend Trek Winery to anyone that enjoys a relax setting and good wine. read more

What an awesome place to enjoy some tasty wine! The ambiance of the entire winery was so peaceful with the water feature plants and lights. We went when it was 110 degrees and the shade was perfect. The happy hour prices are the best in the area for sure! We brought our little corgi finny and he absolutely loved chilling on the patio! We will definitely be back and it's a must stop in downtown Novato! read more

We love trek! Nothing negative to say about this place just wish it started opened a little later. At least till 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. And maybe till 8 the other days. The new switchback red wine was good. Check it out! read more
