Recently, we were on a cruise that departed LA and overnighted in San Francisco. When we were in San Francisco, we wanted to have a nice lunch on the pier, close to the ship, and have a wine tasting. We have previously visited San Francisco and have had wine tastings in Napa/Sonoma a couple of times. On this trip, we wanted to go to a tasting close to the ship. In our research, we found the Winery Collective which had excellent reviews. We made reservations for our day of arrival and after a lunch. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Mike who conducted our tastings. Mike told us that the Winery Collective had wines from small boutique wineries from different California regions. There were several tastings from which we could choose, or a customized tasting could be presented based upon our likes. One could also choose a glass of available wines. My wife chose the Sweet Life tasting of 5 wines for $25. I chose Mix It Up which had a variety of award winning wines for $25. Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. He talked about each of the wines that were tasted and possible food pairings. He answered all of our questions. At the end, Mike also gave me a tasting of 2 additional wines that I requested. Before leaving, I purchased a couple of bottles to take back to the ship. I wanted to buy more, but had a limit on the number that I could take back onboard. The Winery Collective was easy to find and a short walk from the ship after lunch on the pier. After tastings in Napa/Sonoma, we are very happy that we went to the Winery Collective and met Mike. We would definitely visit again. read more

At first glance it seems like a touristy place...given the location but once you're inside it kinda has a local vibe. Granted going late afternoon on a dreary weekday..there wasn't a tourist or local there but our server was great. She knew about all the wines gave great recs based on our taste. You can do by the glass. They make all their own wine and cannot be purchased off site. What a hidden gem! Def coming back for a tasting! read more

Winery Collective - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tucked away in the crevices of Fisherman's Wharf, you'll find this charming little tasting room. This is where delicious wines meet chill vibes and impeccable service. The Winery Collective is a local wine collective that's comprised of several different SF based wineries. Sometime before COVID hit, several of these wineries had tasting rooms on Treasure Island. I remember visiting the tasting rooms, all unique with different varietal specialties. Through this collective, these same wineries have been able to survive through their wines, and I'm so grateful for that. Speaking of the wines; they are so delicious! What I love about this collective is the variety. If you're craving for a tasty sparkling wine or a California staple (Rosé, Chard, or Cab), they have the Winery SF label. If you're looking for some Italian goodness, the Sottomarino label is fabulous for it. If you want some amazing light summer whites, the Viognier and Gypsy Blanc from Sol Rouge will be your babies. I could go on, but you catch my drift. The selection is top tier! The events are super fun and engaging as well. Attended a Drag and Mimosa show about a Month ago, and it was honestly all the rave! Brought a friend along with me and she couldn't stop talking about. We had a blast! The mimosas were on point too. There's always something fun happening at the collective, so never fear the FOMO! Lastly, I need to shine a spotlight on the staff and the stellar service. Kostas and Michael are absolute gems! They've hosted my friend and I in the tasting room, and it is always a pleasure to chat with them both. They are knowledgeable, fun, and filled with infectious energy that can be felt throughout the tasting room. Hats off to them for never skipping a beat and always keeping the wine spirit alive! I truly adore this place. If you're in Fisherman's Wharf (or anywhere in the city honestly), you must stop by to experience the magic. Tell them that Shayla sent you ;). read more

Always a good time at this cute spot in Fisherman's Wharf next to Argonaut Hotel and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. My foodie bff invited me to this fun spot, and we keep coming back. The owner and staff are so nice and inviting. Can't wait for new events on their calendar. There's so much to do around here afterwards, and so many restaurants nearby. Never a dull moment at the wharf. I love their wines by the glass. The mimosas are tasty, too (very little juice wink, wink). 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY). read more

I had such a lovely experience earlier this week here! When I walked in, I felt the space was charming and inviting. My server, Luna was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and friendly, and she made the tasting feel genuinely personal and welcoming. Every wine I tried on the "Mix It Up" flight was an absolute delight. Can truly say there was not a single miss on that tasting flight. It was such a fun and enjoyable tasting experience--I'll definitely be back! read more

Fantastic staff and delicious wine in a beautifully welcoming space. Absolutely worth the stop!

we visited on a Monday afternoon and what a haven this is from the hustle and bustle of Fisherman's Wharf - just far enough away to pretend we didn't walk through it to get to the winery. We had booked a tasting and Mike was an amazing host. Welcoming, knowledgable, friendly and great company for what turned into the afternoon. The wine was really good and bar has a calm and relaxed feel, we would have stayed longer if we didn't have a dinner reservation to get to. If we're ever back in San Francisco this will be top of our list - this time without a reservation to rush off to! Shout out to a great music playlist too. Thanks Winery Collective with a special thank you to Mike read more

Sooo when you know you know. I was in San Francisco for work and needed respite from the day. And this sweet kind generous man Costas served me wine to my hearts content. This place was clean bright vibrant vibes and delicious wine. The service top tier. read more

The location was beautifully located next to the water and around other shops in a plaza. The parking was not the greatest and we had to pay for it. I was also not impressed with the overall size of the place. It was not as elegant as I expected for the name. It reminded me more of a pub. The company was great and that made it a lot more welcoming. Overall the wine was tasty but not enough for average price. I liked the service although it was empty. I recommend to go on Groupon and save some money on this adventure. read more

The atmosphere is cozy, lit warmly and comfortable. There's both a bar and tables to sit at read more

Kostas was amazing and just made our experience first class! We came back three days in a row and left with a new friend. The wine was good and most of the reds are 10 years old plus, you don't see that often at a tasting room. You have to stop in when on Fisherman's Wharf. read more

We wandered in after having brunch nearby. It's a calm wine stop tucked away in the business of fisherman wharf/cannery area. The pourer behind the counter was very friendly in welcoming us in and talking us through the different options for flights. She continued to be quite helpful and knowledgeable throughout the tasting as well. She was great at balancing addressing the group and giving us space to enjoy the wine and talk amongst ourselves. I do think I will be back for sure especially because there are a few fun brunch spots nearby! read more

To preface, this area of San Francisco is very tourist heavy and we stopped into this location with that in mind. Overall we had a nice time, very friendly staff and a very social crowd. The wines seemed to all be pretty local, specifically from two wineries. We tried two different flights, a white wine and mixed wine flight. The wines were fitting for their value. Flights included 5 wines. read more

What a fun winery right in the Fisherman's Wharf! We stopped in for a wine tasting while exploring the area. Half of our party had already been before so they wanted us to experience the magic too! We were served by Mike, who they had had the last time they came in! He was amazing! Super friendly and very informative! The wines were very good as well. We all did the mixed wine tasting and learned more about where each wine came from and their unique flavors. I would recommend stopping in for a taste! read more

Yes, I found another gem in SF! Kostas, the tasting room manager was engaging and explained the winemaker, Bryan Kane's award winning wines with details and enthusiasm. The tasting red wines were library wines from 2013-2016. My favorite, of course was 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon! The sweet wines were fun and creatively crafted to please all wine lovers. Michael's favorite, Sweeeet, port wine. Not too sweet as the name suggests. Very tasty port. Absolutely recommend! read more

This one of my favorite stops on a recent trip to SF. We visited after dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It's about a 10 minute walk from the hustle & bustle of the main restaurants. We decided to do a flight of 5 red wines and a flight of 5 white wines. That way we got to try 10 different wines in one sitting. How often does that happen?!?! Our server/bartender was super nice & also very knowledgable about all the wines being served. The wines were from west coast wineries and all were very good. A good mix of customers were in & out, and we had a great time with several couples sitting nearby. So much fun, and I'd highly recommend! read more

The best winery in the Bay and Mile is the man. Such a gracious host! Loved it here. I have been here multiple times

What a pleasant place to relax and enjoy some delicious wine! Each one of the five wines I chose off the tasting menu were explained to me by Kostas, the knowledgeable manager. He clearly knows a great deal about wine. There is a spacious bar with comfortable seating. Whether you're a visitor or a local, check out the Winery Collective and take home some delicious wines that are quite reasonably priced considering their quality. read more

Wine tasting has always been a favorite activity of mine and San Francisco did not disappoint. Winery Collective has an array of wines to choose from that will surely please any wine connoisseur. The prices are comparable to those establishments in Napa Valley and Temecula, California. This was the only wine tasting spot I found on or around the Wharf. The atmosphere is great and the staff is both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. More importantly, the wines are great. If wine tasting is something that interest you, I definitely recommend stopping by here when visiting San Francisco. read more

My friend and I had such a fun time wine tasting here! It was very casual and not too busy on a holiday Monday. The bar area is quite small so they recommend reservations. Our bartender (I think her name was Dena) was friendly and had an amazing 90s R&B playlist going. The tasting was reasonably priced, and we took home a bottle of their prize-winning Syrah. I'm sad that their location on Treasure Island is closed, but at least their tasting room is in the City! read more
