Whether it's enjoying a flight of wines on one of our outdoor patios in either Manhattan or Hermosa Beach as the soft, warm wind of another epic beach day caresses your face or sampling wine inside at one of our two cozy tasting rooms, we're here to make sure your wine experience is a memorable one.
Our classic flight consists of four wines you choose from a list of eight- (typically 4 whites and 4 reds), although we may include sparkling wine or some other interesting choice (ie orange wine). Additionally, both shops offer a premium tasting, typically consisting of wines ranging in price from $50-$150.
At times, you can also order from an additional special tasting list, for instance, an all-bubbly list over the Valentine's Day weekend or wines being poured by a winemaker (see our events page here).
We look forward to seeing you. Cheers!
