From the moment we arrived, the service…read moreduring our wine tasting and dinner was truly impeccable--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed without ever feeling intrusive. You can tell this team takes pride in what they do. The wine tasting was beautifully curated, and the staff did such a great job walking us through each pour, sharing helpful details, and making the whole experience feel relaxed but still elevated. Every question we had was answered with ease, and the pacing was spot-on. Dinner was just as impressive. Our table shared the chicken, steak, and salmon, and every single dish was outstanding. The chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the steak was tender and rich, and the salmon was beautifully prepared--fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. Sharing everything family-style made it even better because we got to try a little of everything, and honestly, there wasn't a single miss. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. We felt genuinely taken care of the entire evening, and it made the night feel special. This is the kind of service and dining experience that makes you want to come back immediately--and bring friends. Highly recommend for a wine tasting, date night, or special occasion. We'll absolutely be back.

We ordered the duck cassoulet, pear and Gorgonzola salad and a very tasty salmon entree. They swap out wines periodically.

We'll be back for sure.

It was a nice sunny day, I had the day off and thought it would be a nice time for a tasting. My husband called prior to arrival and was told tastings were $25. It was not explained that tastings take place only at certain times. On arrival to the store the times were explained, and I wish it would have been said over the phone. The store is very dark, dusty, and not very welcoming. The staff member present continuously worked at the counter, not looking up and did not offer assistance. It felt strange that they only acknowledged us when we inquired about the wine tasting on arrival. I will not be patronizing or attending any events here, very disappointing.

We didn't know what to get so we got two flights. The wine was good. I enjoyed my whites and he enjoyed his reds. I don't have notes on the wines but I do have on the beer I tried. Beer I tried: El Rey: Sharp bite hits your throat. Pliny the Elder: tastes off Fuckified: Funky. Tastes a little off Oktoberfest: Tastes like a regular Oktoberfest I give my lower rating because I don't think the beer lines were cleaned. I tried Pliny the Elder before and it didn't taste as it normally does. So not sure if it was an older batch or the lines were not cleaned. Otherwise, the area is really nice. They were doing a photo shoot for the vineyard so we watched lol

My fiancée and I had an amazing experience at the blending lab…read more 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!

We agreed on a set date of mid May but I decided to drop by on my own sooner than that because I just needed a drink or five to celebrate my Sunday. My personal thought? It was one of the best decision ever. I sat at the bar where I met the bartender, Omar. Omar loves his job and definitely shows it! He has a great personality and it's truly wonderful on how he engaged with all his customers. I paid $49/ month to join their basic wine club, which includes a free bottle of wine, weekly complimentary wine flights, as well as discounts to various special events. I absolutely love the fact that they offer real entrees like pasta and pizza instead of just chimichurri board. The steak tasted great and the pizza tasted just as delicious. Overall, my dining experience at Grafted Cellars was a 10/10, and I cannot wait to be back next week for my free flight!

"There's still a Fred Segal?!?"…read more Because last I heard, they were all closed. So my curiosity got the best part of me and asked Hubbers if we can take a look around. He agreed. This ended up being a stop for him! I'm guessing they're still in the process of transitioning from Fred Segal to the now Summer Somewhere Wines stop. So.... Im not a wine fiend, but Hubbers is. He asked if we could just hangout here for a bit to try a white. "Of course!" I tell him. Marquis was our server and I gotta say, off the bat he was sooooooo friendly and welcoming. He answered all of Hubbers' questions regarding their products until he finally decided on one. I asked for water as I got parched from all the walking we did prior to coming through. Marquis checked on us after awhile, and he dreaded the fact he forgot to bring me my water. He felt really bad, I told him it wasn't a big deal and to bring me one when he got the chance. He did me one better and comp'd it for me. Sweet! It really was a good 20-minute chill. Hubbers enjoyed his sips, I enjoyed people watching as I sipped through my water and Marquis made the experience much better. Great first run!
