It's a nice spot located in Belmont shore. It's very clean and spacious on the inside with couch seating along with tables and chairs. It isn't loud but they did have some music playing. It's a good spot to chill at with family and or friends for a few glasses of wine. It's also a cool spot for a nice intimate date. Had the pleasure of tasting 4 different wines; 2 whites and 2 reds. I enjoyed the wines. You can bring your own snacks and charcuterie board. The hostess was very knowledgeable of the wines, sharing backstories of where and how they were produced. It was a good learning experience also.

I was so happy to…read morefind GF options as I have celiac disease and wanted to spend a nice Sunday afternoon with my son having lunch and wine. When we arrived we were told there was no chef so only a few items could be made from the menu. I chose a flatbread but was then told they had no gluten free bread. So we had to get the charcuterie which was so small and cost $30. Really ridiculous price for something with a few pieces of meat, cheese, grapes and nuts. The wine was good, and the tastings were generous and I know it is a wine bar but the day was really spoiled by not having a lunch there. I don't think I would go there again. If you do make sure they have a chef before you go if you want to eat.

I will say that as a vegetarian, the menu was unfortunately too authentic--just like in France, it is tricky making a meal out of the selection. You can order croque monsieur, croque madame, French dip, onion soup, escargot, and frog's legs, but for vegetarian options, there was tomato bisque and a beet salad. Limited but good. I dipped into pescatarian realm and enjoyed very much the tapenade (olives and anchovies) with baguette slices. The family run bistro adjoins a shop with imported French snacks and small gift items. It also has a wine tasting room. If you are missing a taste of France, this is worth the trip to Seal Beach.

It's a small, charming spot with a relaxed atmosphere. Just a heads up- there's no indoor seating, so everything is outdoors with a small patio setup. That said, when the weather is nice, it's actually ideal. It feels very laid back and intimate, like one of those hidden neighborhood gems you stumble upon. The employee working when we went was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a place feel even better. The wine I tried was really good, you can definitely tell it's natural wine (in a good way!). They also have small bites available if you want to snack while you drink, though we didn't end up ordering food. Parking is street parking in the area, which wasn't too difficult to find when we went. Overall it was just a really pleasant experience. If you're looking for a casual place to enjoy a glass of natural wine outside on a nice day, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

The fact that I've passed by this area so many times without noticing this little gem feels like a true tragedy. Though petite and easy to miss, this spot is something special. They specialize in natural wines, thoughtfully and selectively curated since they're not a winery themselves. The selection offers great variety, and because seating is limited, it's very much a first-come, first-served situation, arrive early if you want a seat. There's some indoor seating, with more available outside. The wine servers were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. They also host food vendors. There is a sushi spot right next door which is conveniently located next to the theater where you can score discounted bottles if you're catching a movie. Wines rotate as they sell out, so if you fall in love with one, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle before it's gone.

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. There are too many other options in Long Beach. R

At first we were a little unsure, but the food quickly won us over. Buvons feels more like a cozy wine bar than a traditional restaurant, but that's part of its charm. The seasonal menu (which I think rotates monthly) offered some really thoughtful dishes. The asparagus was excellent, but the mussels were the star of the night. We could smell the curry broth coming from the kitchen before they arrived and immediately knew we had made the right choice. Served with frites for dipping, it was one of those simple, satisfying dishes that you keep thinking about afterward They were also streaming the Korea match and thoughtfully seated us near the projector, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Service was friendly and attentive. Would love to return with friends and enjoy their beautiful garden patio outside.

They have an awesome natural wine selection that feels super approachable and fun rather than stuffy. The space is beautiful. The owner, Alicia, is wonderful--she's super hands-on and makes everyone feel like a regular from their first visit. A huge shoutout to Luna as well; she is incredibly knowledgeable about all their wines and always helps you find something unique that you'll actually love. She could honestly sell a capri sun. They also have a delicious dinner menu, so it's the perfect place to settle in for a full meal. Whether you're a natural wine fan or just looking for a relaxed local hangout, this is the spot.
