My Wife and daughter had never been to the San Antonio Winery before. Today I treated them to lunch. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the wine tasting. The owner approached our table and he welcomed us and thanked us for coming. We left with 6 bottles of wine. I cant wait to open the Chocolate Bar wine. It tasted delicious. We had a long wait in line for food, but everything was worth the wait. We will be back soon.

We had an amazing visit today for our tasting. Check out the Groupon. We had a great time tasting wines with the owner. We enjoyed every taste we selected. You truly can’t go wrong on anything. Make sure to have a meal prior because the only food is the meat cheese and crackers. As it should be so you know they focus on their amazing wine. This is a must if you are traveling at Laguna even for a day. We spent about an hour here and don’t forget to ask about their membership program. Casual date day event. Will return!!!

Great urban winery. Owner MJ is kind and very open about his process and decision making on how to craft wine his way. Highly recommend stopping by.

Marlo was awesome! And his new wine tasting machines are perfect for the times. Met the guys from Italy who created them. I like them if the Winery is super busy but still like the server touch much better!!

Didnt enjoy a tasting. Im sure the wine is great but not licensed for seating. Unfortunately I cant stand long. Not that old, but have arthritis and use a cane. If you can be on your feet, give them a taste!

Great first experience going to a winery. They don’t have cheese platers but sell packaged cheese and such. No seats available, you have to stand. No smoking city. Great group on deals! It’s approximately $2 a taste. So worth it! And it’s in a beautiful location in Laguna beach!

Meeting the winemakerWe visited on a Sunday which gave us the opportunity to have a relaxed and prolonged interaction with our server, who happened to be the proprietor and winemaker. I learned new things about wine making, was happily corrected about things that I thought I knew but most importantly very much enjoyed the wine.

Hidden gem. Great wine, great people. A passion for the craft. One of the only tasting rooms that integrates elements of wine production.

The man that helped us out to do wine tasting was extremely and I mean EXTREMELY rude! My mom and I were in the area spending time with one another and we really enjoy wine tasting, never will we ever buy wine from this place again, it was almost disgusting how this man treated us...if anyone asks or wants suggestions for wine tasting in California Ill start out by saying dont waste your time trying this winery stay as far away from this place as possible unless you want to leave with your blood boiling.

Very small and decent wine. A nice time if you live in the area and dont want to drive out to Temecula for wine tasting . Our bartender wasnt very informative but all the wine information was on the menu anyway. They were out of a few different wines so we couldnt taste them

Although the exterior of Laguna Canyon is unimpressive, upon entering the winery it is beautiful! We were greeted by Patrick who is friendly and very knowledgeable, and we spent two hours tasting a variety of the fabulous wines, leaving with several bottles to enjoy at home. This little winery is a Gem and we will definitely be back!

Nice break from our stay in Newport Beach. Patrick was great! Very friendly and knowledgeable. A gem of a place and a prince of a guy. Helped homeless pets with a bottle of Purple Paws red blend.

Tatiana and Patrick treated us like royalty. Super knowledgeable, attentive and kind. We loved so much we bought 8 bottles of wine! Love the Rose, the Sonoma Valley late Harvest Zin is sooo good and Los Carneros Sangiovese is mouth watering. Also love that a portion of Purple Paws goes for the care of homeless pets & its good too! I go for Purple Paws (great gift for animal lovers that drink wine) but go to taste, you wont be sorry you did.

Had an amazing time trying the different wines. The man behind the bar pouring wine was very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. This place is absolutely worth stopping by.

This was one of the least enjoyable experiences at a wine tasting that I have been a part of (Ive done a couple in Texas and one in SF). At this place, the staff just poured you the wine and that was the extent of their hospitality; no information or knowledge was shared regarding what we were drinking. In my opinion, that aspect of a wine tasting is half the experience.

My husband and I attended a 1st Friday of the Month Wine Tasting Party that included a variety of appetizers, a super filling buffet, music and amazing wines! MANY of their wines are delicious and Im so happy I have a new fave winery less than 30 minutes from my home.I tend to be more of a red wine fan and I loved their 7 Barrel, Petite Verdot and Purple Paws. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn they have a raspberry sparkling. It will be a perfect addition to our holiday meals!For $40, it was a great value, especially since we got 10 wine tasting on top of all the delicious foods. They even ended our meal with chocolate dipped cookies!!Id highly recommend for a girls night or date night.

On the first Friday of the month, I had the distinct pleasure of attending a Wine Tasting Event at Laguna Canyon Winery.As I walked in the doors I was greeted by one of the owners and several staff members. I was immediately made to feel welcome and really liked the feel of the place.We enjoyed several red wines, white wines, dessert wines and more. My favorites were the 7 Barrel, Petite-Sirah and the Tawny Port. All in all the Friday night tasting includes ten - 1 ounce flights. In addition to this there is live music and delicious food. I highly recommend Laguna Canyon Winery.

I visit this place about twice a year, and I enjoy it every single time. I have also got an opportunity to visit their backstage where the magic of winemaking happens and that too was a great experience. Overall I really like this place, works for me!

Came here past Friday night with a group of food and wine enthusiasts (EatNDrinkGeeks), for their 1st Friday of the Month Wine Tasting party from 6-9pm every month. Well, maybe not every month, but check the events calendar from their website.It was surprisingly packed. Outside parking was difficult to find as they share a lot with what looks like a car repair shop. Once inside, you can get 10 tastings of 1 ounce pours and appetizers and hot food with no place to put your food. But you know what? I loved it here because the people here were super nice and Marlowe is super passionate about his award winning wines. Theyve won numerous awards from the OC Fair.They were serving whites on left side and reds on the side closer to the street. I am more particular to the Reds here because I love my Cabs. So I was able to taste their 12 Cab, the 4 blend, 5 blend, 7 blend, the syrah, and the cab syrah. Taste wise, I personally like big, bold fruity flavors with some oak but not too overpowering. So without going into too much detail and sounding like a wine snob, I liked the 7 blend and the 4 blend the best here. Its like tasting an Anejo and a Reposado if this was tequila as the 7 was a bit smoother and the 4 was a bit younger but you can taste all the profiles.The people behind the counter were super nice and hilarious. I got to meet Leann and Denise as they were pouring the white wines. Their Russian River Canyon Cuvee is quite nice, slightly dry, not sweet, and great on the nose with punch of fruit. Super easy to drink, probably best now.They do all the blending in house I believe. There was a sign right above the entrance way stating they bring grapes from all over the place into here. The barrels inside the tasting room are real with wine fermenting away. They do have a small water dispenser, which is my only gripe here. Definitely not big enough!If you buy a wine during the event, you get to keep the etched glass. Background wise, there was live music from Saeed Marandi. It was a fun time with fellow friends over wine. This place is definitely worth checking out when youre in the area like for SawDust down the street.
