I've been here a couple times and I have enjoyed my food, drinks and service each time. I always get their wine flights - it's great when you want to sample a few wines 5/5 Foods -baked brie (5/5) never disappoints! read more

Came in Saturday evening. No wait time, was greeted warmly immediately and given a walkthrough of the wine selection. I ordered the baked Brie ($17) while the rest of my party ordered wine & skewers. Food, ambiance, and service was great for the most part. I do want to mention that they do not allow outside water of any sort inside. I was told to put away my hydroflask because it's a, "violation of liquor license". That gives the assumption that ABC prohibits guests from bringing a water bottle, which is false. It would be more appropriate to just say they "don't allow outside water" as a general house rule. read more

My wife and I have visited Twisted Vine a couple times over the past few months and I am definitely a fan. The staff here has always been great and very friendly. They are always available and making suggestions about the menu and wines and have genuinely looked eager to help. The food is always quite good and the portions are nice. The menu and specials does seem to rotate a bit as well so always be sure to check it out. The brie bowl was definitely a favorite of ours as well as the Rose flights. The setup is larger inside than it looks from outside but seating can still fill up quickly during peak hours so be aware. Overall, I am fan of what they have offered thus far and I hope to return again soon. read more

My friends and I went to Twisted Vine for a light dinner/pseudo happy hour get together. This was my first time trying out Twisted Vine. You have a choice of sitting indoors and in their outdoor patio. We sat outside, the tables were lower- lol. We tried the half charcuterie platter. You have a choice of 2 cheeses or 2 meats - we chose the 2 cheeses. We also got a bottle of their sparkling wine. The drink + food pairing was awesome; perfect for a summer evening. Service was great as well. Our server checked in regularly to make sure we were ok. Highly recommend read more

I'm going to go out on a limb here and go ahead and rate this business a 5 despite just going for my first time last night. This had been on Steven's radar for a bit once he knew about it, and I wanted to go to try the baked brie because of my obsession with cheese. We stopped by on a very rainy Thursday night and luckily there were a lot of open tables. We were immediately welcomed by several staff, including the one who brought us vodka & tonic (aka water lol). After a few minutes we decided to go with a white wine flight. They offer both a white and red flight, and you can find the flight choices by scanning the QR code on the menu or check their site, as these flights change monthly. They have daily food specials and they all looked delicious on the site. I was very tempted to try their Thursday patty melt special, but knowing that we were getting baked brie, I decided to not add more heavy items. I went with the apple crisp salad with chicken and Steven got the chopped salad with chicken. The wine flight only comes with three tastings, but they were bigger pours. They were at least three ounces each, so we had a great amount. Both the wine flight and the food came out quickly and everything was delicious. We were checked on numerous times throughout the night and our water refills were always filled before we ran out. A big shoutout to Jerry for his amazing service! I am assuming Jerry is the one who took our food and drink orders, but we were checked on and taken care of by multiple staff members, so shout out to everyone that night! Delicious food and amazing service at a local place for wine. We will definitely be back. read more

As I've noted in several of my reviews, it's the people that make the place. You can have a place that serves great food with crappy people and it's really not worth the effort to go. Great people make great food even better! That's what we have here at Twisted Vine! The people work here know their Wine, and are friendly, personal, and professional! We truly appreciated our visits This trip into Southern California. Trisha, Jerry, Scott all have done a terrific job and making us feel welcome while taking great care of us! My wife and I truly love the baked brie and chorizo! Another of our favorites is the Caprese skewers! We always look forward to our visits here! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in for a glass of wine! read more

What a wonderful place to just chill and have wine. Their flights change every week and every server we've had there is incredibly friendly -- feels just like family! The food is also amazingly good for a place that focuses on wine. They used to have this Turkey Brie sandwich that we loved to death, but it was unfortunately rotated out of the menu. :( We're still grateful though that they continue to change up their food menu. This is a place that really cares about its business and the experience their customers receive. read more

We visited Twisted Vine on a Friday evening. There is plenty of street parking on the side streets. The ambiance of the place is laid-back with dimmed lights and lots of high top bar table seating as well as a small bar area. There is also a patio, but we opted to be seated at the bar. We just sampled their Gruener Veltliner and the NV J. Laurens sparkling wine. Neither were stellar and did not quite meet our expectations, however, the olives with feta and blue cheese were fantastic. They were also priced really competitively. Service was amazing too. Twisted Vine remains definitely on our list of wine bars to go to when in the area! read more

We came here for a fun Saturday night out, and I'm so glad we did! Jerry greeted us as soon as we walked in and was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. We ordered the Winter White Wine Flight, and each wine was flavorful and well-selected. It was a perfect choice for the season. The restaurant has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. I can definitely see us coming back for more wine and to try the food next time! read more

Great food and wine! Service is fantastic! Has a nice patio as well as a spacious indoor area

Came here for a bottle of wine and it was a great spot to sit in a quiet space on the patio. Dogs are welcome outside and I would bring mine next time. I would come back for bottomless mimosas next time. read more

This was such a fantastic and a gem of a find in Fullerton CA! This is the kind of wine bar that you would find in a major metropolitan city. Amazing wine list, interesting domestic and foreign wines that had me really excited to explore. I paired it with a small cheese and charcuterie board, that was a masterpiece! Wonderful cheeses and meat that really went beautifully with the wines that I selected. Great staff, Dave, Trish and Jerry were welcoming and really made the experience unforgettable. I had drove the day I visited the whole day from Northern CA and had a challenging day. The visit to Twisted Vine completely made my day right! Will be back! read more

Every once in a while I patronize a place where I feel at home, a restaurant or bar where I think "this is my kind of place". Such is how I felt when I visited Twisted Vine. I walked in and immediately loved the brick walls, the dark wood tables and bar, and shelves of wine along the walls. I was immediately greeted and told to sit wherever I wanted by Scott, who really made me feel welcome. Aside from his friendliness, customers sitting near me were also super friendly, asking if it was my first time there and offering recommendations on wines and food. From the red wine portion of the menu I chose a glass of "M", a cabernet sauvignon from Paso Robles which was absolutely delicious. After looking over the list of tempting bites, I ordered a plate of chorizo & potato empanadas. They came as a set of three and were filled with chorizo, potato, Provolone cheese, and cilantro. They were fantastic and had plenty of chorizo, not overstuffed with potato. It was a Monday night so I watched some football on a silent big screen on the wall and decided on another glass of wine, this time "Head High" which is a pinot noir from Sonoma. I'm normally not crazy for pinot noirs, which confounds me as to why I ordered it, but this is one of the best ones I've tried; I really liked it. This is a place I will definitely come visit again. If I lived in the area this might be a weekly hangout for me but, since I live quite a distance away, I'll still stop by whenever I can. read more

I came here for the wine flight and was absolutely blown away by the food! Everything we ordered was so good, I don't think I've ever had bread so soft and fluffy but crispy on the outside and the vinegar dip was fantastic I wanted to save my leftovers. We also got the prosciutto flatbread with hot honey (an absolute must) and the prosciutto sandwich and the burrata on that was otherworldly. Highly highly recommend! read more

Amazing selection of wine. Food is always great and service is wonderful. Really like that it's not pretentious but really friendly.

I love this spot! I almost don't want to leave a review so it can remain my "secret" go to! lol I sometimes go in with my laptop and work remotely with the brie bowl and the feta dip (OMG get the feta dip!! You won't be disappointed!). There's plenty of parking and the vibe is super chill and welcoming. The service is amazing! Even if they're busy, they make sure and hit every table and don't ever rush you if you can't decide on the wine you want to try. read more

Came to Twisted Vine for sunday brunch with my sister for the first time after running the OC half marathon, and it instantly became one of those places I wanted to come back to. Since then, I have been back multiple times for brunch, drinks and fondue nights. The Brie bowl is honestly one of my favorite things on the menu - so good and definitely something I keep craving. The drinks are also really well made, and the whole place has such a cozy, relaxed vibe. Whether it's brunch, date night, or just catching up with friends over wine, this spot always delivers a great experience. Service has always been friendly too, which makes the atmosphere even better. read more

We absolutely love the twisted vine. As you would guess by the name, their specialty is wine. They are a wine bar that happens to have some excellent small plates and specials to go along with the wine. Our particular favorite is their baked brie bowl, but you can't go wrong with anything they have to offer, which changes day to day and their live music on Saturdays and Sundays is always early enough for us that don't like late nights out. read more

I love Twisted Vine. Great selection of wines and delicious food to boot. I like to order the grilled cheese and tomato soup or just snack on the delicious olives. Service is very quick and it's a great place to meet friends for a drink in DTF. read more

Great food, great wine, great service! We walked in on a Saturday night & were seated right away. The ambiance is dark & cozy. We ordered my new favorite wine - 2022 Stolpman - "La Cuadrilla" - Ballard Canyon, Ca Concentrated yet light on its feet with bright acidity, dusty tannins and a long, spicy finish. Blend of 75% Syrah,15% Granache and 10% Sangiovese. With a side of olives and their famous baked Brie bowl. Must get the bread bowl. Perfect combo with the wine. read more

Cute spot right in the heart of downtown Fullerton! There was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The ambiance is great- I enjoyed the patio seating outside. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered the white wine flights and a charcuterie board as well. There is an option to get the smaller board for less meats/cheeses, but we opted for the full size. The wine was excellent. Loved the options and the healthy pours in each glass. I'd definitely come back for another girl's day! read more

The entrance is in the back and the front. This confused me lol From the parking lot you can walk right up without having to walk around to the front of the building. I went in through the back and wound up sitting at the bar. This restaurant isn't very big and does get noisy. Service was good. The servers do a good job of tending to customers, even when it gets busy. I came here for the food to be honest lol I didn't drink any alcohol. I ordered the pesto pasta and the apple salad. The pesto pasta was underwhelming. The sauce was too watery. But the dish did have good flavor. I loved the apple salad! It was fresh and tasty. read more

I love Twisted Vine! I come here pretty regularly but last visited on a Saturday night around 8 PM. The wine bar wasn't too busy and we got seated quickly. Just note that there are only high top tables inside! We ordered 2 glasses of wine each and got the half charcuterie board and the green chile empanadas. Both were really tasty and felt very high quality. All the servers are very attentive and friendly which adds to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot and I'll continue to come back! read more

Walked in to have a quick beer while my son got his haircut across the street. I was immediately greeted by the host who offered me a seat at the bar. I initially felt a little out of place since it caters more to wine drinkers but Dave made me feel right at home. We talked craft beer and he gave me a few suggestions. A cool mellow spot where everyone staff is friendly and guest seem to be enjoying themselves. Eager to return soon with my wife. read more

Love love love this place! It's a hidden gem in Downtown Fullerton. Lots of regulars hanging out with friends or families. Really chill vibe with friendly staff, plenty of seating areas, great food and superb wine. All of these at prices that won't break your wallet. Come on down and check this place out. Come curious and you'll be hooked. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but you'll be pleasantly surprised once you step in. It's kinda stumbling upon a secret bar and wonder why you didn't discover this place sooner. In addition to the high top tables in the main dining area and across the bar, there are also plenty of tables out back in the semi outdoor patio leading to the parking lot. Food wise everything we've tried is delicately delicious. It's comforting and also inventive at the same time. The baked brie is a good portion that can easily be shared with a group of 4 people. Melted Brie cheese baked into a sourdough bowl and served with toasted sourdough bites and fresh apple slices for dipping. PRO TIP: Have it with diced Spanish chorizo (for a couple of bucks more) The Caprese, which is Mozzarella and grape tomato skewers with basil and drizzled with balsamic reduction, pairs really well with the wine. PRO TIP: Have it with Soppressata Salami (for a couple of bucks more) The tomato bisque soup is oh so good and one of the best out there. PRO TIP: You can order this by itself (not on the menu) as it normally comes as a side for the grilled cheese panini. Location is also a plus as there are many other places nearby to hangout all around quaint downtown Fullerton. Easy parking either on the street or at one of the many lots around DTF. Note: this is a 21 and over establishment so leave the kids with the sitter and enjoy a nice date night out in the town! read more

You'll always discover new wines to try, along with tasty appetizers that perfectly complement the wine. The atmosphere is outstanding, and the staff is incredibly welcoming.. read more

Twisted Vine is one of my friends' go-to wine bars in the area, and I could see why. Great ambiance, selection of wine and light bites, and customer service. Tim and Scott, the sommeliers, were so friendly and hospitable. We went to Twisted Vine around 8pm on a Monday night. The place felt like walking into a wine cellar. From what I could tell, customers were there for date night, a quiet space to work, and a night cap (hence, why we were there). I had a nice riesling, which was juicy and sweet. This was an awesome pairing to the dessert we shared at the table, which was the waffle sundae. The waffle sundae was fantastic by the way. I loved that they use a liege waffle instead of a Brussels style waffle. read more

I've been coming here for about a decade now & service, food, & wine has been consistently good ever since! Hubby & I came here last weekend on a Sunday afternoon & it was pretty empty with only 2 other parties seated. We usually order wine flights each but we decided to just order 1 glass each this time with a charcuterie board since we had a movie to catch right after. My favorites here are the Charcuterie board & Baked Brie. The charcuterie board serves a generous portion of bread, different cheeses, cured meats, fruits, nuts, etc. The bread is perfectly toasted & not hard to bite into. Their baked brie is the best compared to any other place I've tried. I love the ambiance as it's chill whether you sit indoors or outdoor patio. I always enjoy their wine flights (both white & red) bc it changes frequently so you get to try something different every time whether it's new world or old world wines. I'll continue to support their business as long as I'm around. read more

My company recently hosted a large group event at The Twisted Vine, and it couldn't have been easier for me to organize.
