Mr. M and I joined friends here for Trivia night. Funny, we've walked right past Rosenblum Cellars on the way to the ferry many times, and I never really noticed it. It's a great location. The space is bright and open, and the staff is friendly and down to earth. I did a flight of their famous Zins, and liked every one. The patio is dog friendly, and the bites of food were tasty. Trivia was big fun! 4.5 stars read more

Love this place! Very casual, low-key, peaceful, affordable, and a lovely location by waterfront right across from the ferry! You and up to 3 guests each get a complimentary glass of vino of your choosing with each visit if you're a wine club member, and you can come as often as you like! The staff is always prompt and professional! There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Just make sure to make a reservation ahead of time! read more

Trivia here is fun! Nicole is a great host and her questions are varied. There's a patio here so you can enjoy your wine and small bites outside by the water. The staff here are really friendly and gave my friends generous pours. I'm not much of a cheese person but the cheeses here were super tasty. I've been to the winery which is also nice but this spot is a gem in Oakland. read more

I had a a really nice time coming here on Labor Day. It was really busy, but our server Vivian was friendly, helpful and really attentive and always smiling. The place was busy and that for me is always good to see. This place is a little jewel in Oakland and we will surely come again. P.s. the vino was lovely! :) read more

Thanks to Jennifer she made this outing for my birthday a pleasant experience! Had a great time with some great wine enjoying good weather at this amazing gem in Oakland read more

Food and drinks are good but like every other restaurant they don't like black people in groups not sure if they feel the same about black people in general but my group was treated like our money wasn't green! read more

My review is solely based on the lack of communication and trying to get in contact with someone at the location. I've called a thousand times. The phone service doesn't give the option to speak to an actual human. I was interested in booking an event and followed the instructions from the phone service to send an email. I've sent multiple multiple emails-no response. I completed the form on the website multiple times-no response. I've left multiple messages-no response. Not sure how people get through to them nor do I understand a business who doesn't allow the option to speak to someone on the phone but I guess it works for them read more

Love coming home and discovering new businesses! Though I had the "Rockstar flight" with all red wines, I loved the unique blanc de blue offering with the "Bubbly flight". Per usual, Jack London provides a great backdrop to your experience. I loved seeing families able to come together and picnic on the grounds outside of the tasting room. This will definitely be a new go to spot on my visits. read more

My husband and I had a time to spare before jumping on the 2:55 ferry. We stopped in for a glass of wine and relaxation. This spot has so many options from wine tasting, bubble tasting, food options and wonderful space to visit with friends or on a date with your special someone. The views and venue has so much to offer and the staff was friendly and warm! read more

Surprisingly this 5 year new addition to beautiful Oakland's JL Square is this welcoming wine club that originally opened in Alameda. Conceitfully located at a corner across from the Ferry Dock it takes homage and boasts views of the water with feel of that perfect summer breeze. Kent (Rosenblum) crafts not only wine that is extraordinary, but service executed by the Marilee and Jackie that are pretty outstanding. I made friends with a man that I heard sat in the same bench every day (around the corner) who appeared to be down in his luck, so I asked them to make him a meal and I would foot the bill and they did. Creative wine delectables like cheese, bread, and salami made for a good sandwich for my new friend who enjoyed it tremendously. So after walking to the bench to deliver him his food, I returned back to my bar stool to encounter Rosenblum Cab (delish) in which a commitment was made. Another wine club membership, just like shoes can't get enough of them. read more

Just cancelled my Rosenblum Wine Club membership. Wines are great and expensive but can't stomach their super premium shipping charges. They charged $27 to ship 4 bottles from the SF Bay area to San Diego. Would suggest going with the Ridge Wine Club where wines are of equal quality and comparably priced but shipping on my last order was $14.69 for 6 bottles. Wrote to Rosenblum regarding these exorbitant shipping charges several months ago after my last shipment (which was mis-delivered to another home in my area) and 'Lindsay' wrote back saying they were looking into it - yet nothing has changed. read more

Love this wine bar. The food selection could use some help but I enjoyed the wine overlooking beautiful Jack London Square.

The best spot for wine and snacks. The menu changes but they have great flights year round. read more

Right at the ferry to SF's entrance, with a pretty sweet outdoor patio, Rosenblum offers up charcuterie plates and wonderful glasses of red. Feel free to forgo the tasting and just purchase wine by the glass, if you so wish. Although their tasting at $20 is a tad bit pricy for my wallet (and not waived with a wine purchase), I still very much enjoy Rosenblum Cellars. This is a more "corporate" experience and therefore lacks that Oakland charm we know and love, but it's a beautiful venue and the wine is really good. I'd rank this as one of the better wines I tasted on my Oakland wine tour. Not gonna lie, they are pretty damn pushy on the wine club membership, but feel no pressure. It does happen to be a great deal when you are paying $20 a pop on wine tastings, but I can't commit to something like this. I can imagine myself on a beautiful sunny day enjoying a glass or three on this pretty small, but wonderful patio. Cheers! read more

My best friends and I were recently reunited here in the Bay Area, and we wanted to meet up for the first time in years! They suggested wine tasting here in the East Bay and a quick Yelp search yielded Rosenblum Cellars. One of my friends placed a reservation the night before, and when we got there we seamlessly checked in and were seated. We ordered a bubbly flight and a bottle of Snapdragon (2019 Riesling) to share, and both were excellent! We had a slight miscommunication when ordering (we wanted a bottle of the Riesling, but instead got a glass), but the service was great and simply threw it in for free! It was a great first wine tasting, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Don't you love it when you are in the right place at the right time? This was the case on 4th of July when Rosenbloom Cellars returned to its Oakland birth place. What a stunning setting on the Oakland estuary! Great views, outdoor seating and a bright new modern interior. Step up to one of the two bars and enjoy a tasting of their well known Zins. Soon to come will be companion plates which suit their wine collection. The exuberant greeters also promised late evening hours with the provision of outdoor heaters to enjoy night time views. Take advantage of a sunny day or a brilliant sunset matched with their masterful, grapelicious brews. This just might be that kick in the butt to finally make Jack London live up to its' true potential! read more

Rosenblum Cellars recently moved from its location at Alameda Point to Jack London Square. Its new location is in a modern facility with an outdoor patio area across from the Jack London Square ferry terminal. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rosenblum-cellars-oakland?select=X99SYPHr3_kqje_EXPV0TQ#X99SYPHr3_kqje_EXPV0TQ) Was here for the first time for the Oakland Magazine's grand opening party for Rosenblum. There is the main tasting room and a reserve tasting room on the side. There are bar tables and a bar counter table along the window. You can opt to sit outside and sip your wine and take in the views as well. They also have various gift items displayed near the entrance. We were served by Jackie, whom we met during a visit to Rosenblum's Alameda location, and had a nice chat about this new location. A nice, new location to enjoy some wine from Rosenblum. read more

Love this place! Great customer service especially for a Friday night, we were treated very well. There was live music and good vibes. Beautiful aesthetic with a view and tons of wine and snack options. We ordered the Rockstar and Rossa flights ($25 each), fresh bread, Brie and manchego cheese and a bottle of Orogeny Pinot Noir/2016/Russian River ($40). Everything was delicious and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

Rosenblum Cellars - Rockstar and Rossa flights, fresh bread, Brie and manchego cheese - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Oakland, California

I first discovered Rosenblum Cellars on a Savor Oakland food tour. What impressed me the most was not the wine itself, but their commitment to wine accessibility and education in an urban setting. I live in Sacramento surrounded by countless regions and countless wineries competing for my dollar. The problem is, 99.9% of the wineries themselves aren't easily accessible to the average city dweller, making tastings a luxury reserved for those with time, money and hired transportation on their side. At Rosenblum, they are at least making a strong effort to bring the essence of what they do to the people. Our tasting consisted of three or four reds and was hosted by one of their winemakers. He was very informative about what goes into each glass. Not just the actual process, but the passion and philosophy of the winery itself. None of the wines fit my personal palette preferences, but they were all good for what they were. The "cellar" is an open, sparse and modern tasting room facing the water. There are plenty of items for sale besides the wine, but that is really the main draw. read more

Wine tasting at Jack London Square! Can't beat the convenience to downtown Oakland. The flights are well conceived and delicious, we tasted the rockstars and Casablanca flights. The location can't be beat, overlooking the Oakland bay at the ferry terminal, outdoor seating too. Service is friendly and prompt. Do come for wine tasting without the hours of travel to and from wineries in the Bay Area. read more

I have always been a fan of Rosenblum Cellars, both at this location and at their Alameda one. Kent created beautiful wines back in the day, and paved the way for the wonderful wines that are in their library today. He even began being a part of the wine making again last year. Visit the wonderful, estuary view tasting room to taste his legacy with delicious wines - some for everybody! They have whites, reds and even sweet wines. Try the colorful (literally) sweet wine flight! Their bites selections are great - tons of different cheese, meat and cracker options! Add in the fact that they do Tuesday Trivia and other weekly events, this is a place worth checking out on a date, with a group of friends and even with your parents! Thanks Dad for letting me drink your wine club glasses! Good as it gets. read more

My mom and I stopeped by for the first time and we enjoyed ourselves. The staff is super super friendly. Shout out to the waitress with lovely tattoos. Thank you for making us feel welcome. read more

I am going to confess that I am not a huge fan of Rosenblum wines. They seem to specialize in reds, and more specifically in Zinfandels, which I do not naturally favor in the first place. And the wines' high alcohol content seems to destroy any complexity and depth. If I was going to have a drink that packed such a punch, I would order a Scotch. The wine tastings are quite expensive for what you get; running about $20. However, the space is very inviting and I look at the high prices as the cost of admission to sit in a beautiful space and watch the ever changing sky and water show outside. read more

08.13.2018 It was our last day of exploring in the Bay Area and we had yet to complete any wine tasting which was out of the norm because we are some wine-os (Yes, I used a made up word). Of course, I hit up the interweb to find some suggestions and after some trial and error with tasting option availability you see where we arrived at. Before catching an uber to the spot, I first called to ask a few questions. I wanted to make sure wine tastings were available on a Monday and the times. Also, how the wine tastings were conducted. From the website we noticed there were a few tasting options which were named "flights." The associate on the phone answered all of our questions. She stated that tastings were available for Mondays without a reservation. Also, each flight comes with preselected wines to taste and the prices start at $20. Any pairings. such as cheese and crackers are additional. The location is easy to find and sits upon the water right by the ferry in Jack London Square. There is ample seating both inside and out. If you decide to wine taste outside, I recommend bringing a jacket because the wind is no joke especially when by the water. It is self seating inside. After we took our seats, we were provided with a glass of still water and two wine glasses. We both decided on the duet flights which allows the tasting of 2 reds and 2 whites for $25 per person. We also added on cheese and crackers. I typically do not care for reds as I find them dry and much prefer white because of the sweetness but I am always open to new things. The server brought out 2 wooden holders with 4 glass bottles of wine which were enough for us to taste each one twice. We were also provided with an insert which gave the details, pricing, and description of each wine being sampled. The wines provided were: Rust Ridge Chardonnay 2016, Orogeny Chardonnay 2016, Rockville Zinfandel 2014, and Rutherford Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon 2015. My favorite of the four was the Orogeny Chardonnay 2016. I did not care for either reds but trust that I did not leave any wine behind. Lol. As we relaxed and sipped, I could not help but notice how popular of a spot the Rosenblum is. People sat around talking while enjoying glasses of wine with meat and cheese plates. As people departed, more entered. There was a study flow of patrons and it is evident that this is the after work spot to "wine" down. read more

Ok. I'm not sure what was going on last Saturday night the 26th of January. But it was a long long wait. We sat at a dirty table and sofa for 25 min then we had to ask to be helped. Even though we had a reservation . It was different. The ambiance is nice . Beautiful sunset , the music blaring making it difficult to hear each other speak ...no offer of anything but wine or cheese or other platters . We saw our server once . And it was a race when we saw him a second time. I'm not sure if I'm going back. It was after fan fest for the A's so maybe they had a bad day.? Or a busy day and they just didn't care anymore ? I don't know . But I'll try the alternatives in Alameda first before going back . Good luck read more

Great place to have some wine, snacks and relax. Our waitress was cool, she made sure we were good and gave her opinions on the wines and snacks offered. It seems to be pretty popular, the vibe was so good. I would def come back, a great place to relax with good people... read more

The bubbly flight is the bomb! Never disappoints. Delicious and very pretty to look at. Definitely more of flavor than sweet, which I appreciate. I feel so lucky that my friend has a membership to this place. Allows her to bring 3 additional friends and all of their flights are covered! A great deal!!! read more

Very elegant environment. Peaceful area, beautiful scenery right by the water. Sun sets right on the front side of the restaurant. The employees were friendly and the drinks were great.

Imagine waking up everyday...Going to the ocean for cheese and charcuterie.. embracing the perfect weather all day... This was my life for 7 days! Im so sad to leave Oakland because Rosenblum had become a daily habit! We'd arrive by noon and get a flight of their amazing selection of wines and charcuterie. Their service is impeccable and they have one of the best views in town. Its also super affordable! We would get the Calabrese Salami, Manchego cheese, and Croccantini. We would do this daily before catching the ferry into San Fransisco. We missed alot of ferries because we simply didnt wanna leave the super relaxing vibe of Rosenblum. Ill be returning to Oakland in the fall and this will definitely be one of my first stops off the plane! read more

Great atmosphere! Hidden gem, I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and have never heard or seen this place. Super glad my friend took me here. She had a membership with them so it was all free except the bread and oil. But overall the prices were really good for what you get to try. It's not really like a wine tasting class, it's more of a socialize and lounge area. Overall I would come again to experience more wine and the light cheese and snacks menu! read more
