5/5 for Kelsy and Lisa!…read more Thank you both for amazing service and being so kind and helpful. This was our first time here. I'm getting married in two weeks and just had my final dress fitting so I wanted to celebrate with my MOH! The food is subpar unfortunately! We ordered the margarita pizza which was VERY garlic forward (garlic pieces were pretty big under the cheese). We had also ordered the burrata and unfortunately the sun dried tomato sauce was way over salted. Lisa came over and was very sweet; she offered to bring us something different. I chose the ahi starter, it was pretty good! Had to get it to go because we were a little short on time. Very pretty restaurant, friendly staff, decently priced food options and a nice wine selection. Unfortunately the food fell short tonight :(

Had the best Mother's Day experience at Rancho Capistrano Winery! The service was incredible, and…read moreevery server made it a priority to wish all the moms a Happy Mother's Day, which made the experience feel so thoughtful and special. The food was off the charts, the ambiance was beautiful, and the wine never disappoints. Don't get me started on the rosé with jalapeños... SO good. Highly recommend the fig bruschetta, caprese salad, and the steak berry salad! We finished with the lemon cielo cake and carrot cake, and both were amazing. 11/10 experience, we will definitely be back!

We have also been to most, if not all, of the wineries in Orange County and can say for certain that they are the best. Come in and do a tasting for yourself and be sure to follow them on Instagram and come to one of their events. The owners, Chuck and Sheri, are fantastic people and welcome everyone in with open arms (and glasses of wine). The other workers are very knowledgeable and very friendly. Come here - both for the people and the wine! Every once in a while, they will do what they call a mystery six pack. These are a fantastic deal with 6 reds, 6 whites, or a mix and you get this at a discounted price. Lastly... Be ready to hear some really cheesy jokes from the owner Chuck.

We made a completely last-minute stop at Laguna Canyon Winery because it happened to be on our…read moreroute, and I'm so glad we did. The 2021 Laguna Cabernet Sauvignon was incredibly smooth, with low acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins--exactly the kind of wine I love. Every sip was balanced, approachable, and enjoyable. What surprised me most wasn't just the wine--it was the experience. This is the kind of place you wouldn't expect to find, making it feel like a true hidden gem. It's absolutely worth the visit and is perfect for a weekend getaway or even a two-day trip. The tasting was personal and welcoming. The people here truly know what they're doing. They don't just work at the winery--they helped create the wines themselves, and hearing the stories behind each bottle made the experience even more meaningful. If you're looking for an authentic California wine experience with beautiful surroundings, exceptional hospitality, and delicious wines, I highly recommend making the stop. Sometimes the unplanned detours become the highlight of the journey.

I've attended their trivia nights, and they were a blast--well organized, engaging, and a perfect activity for a group of friends. The drinks are fantastic. The Sauvignon Blanc sangria and the frozen rosé are both amazing and have become some of my favorites. The food is consistently good, and the lively atmosphere keeps me coming back. On my most recent visit, I had the opportunity to beta test one of their murder mystery events, and it was such a unique and entertaining experience. It added a whole new level of fun to the evening and made for a memorable night out. If they offer the murder mystery event again, I highly recommend checking it out. It's a great way to enjoy good food, drinks, and an interactive experience all in one place.

There is public parking nearby, making it easy to find parking @ $2/hour. The wine bar is cozy, cute, and welcoming, with a great selection of wines and delicious food options. I especially enjoy their happy hour and the outdoor balcony seating, where you can relax with a glass of wine and watch people stroll through historic downtown. The waitress is fast and friendly....just all around well worth the drive to this area.

I need rolling hills and wine immediately," but you absolutely do not want to drive two hours -- this is your answer. Let Santiago Canyon take hold of you. Within about 20 minutes of most of Orange County, suddenly you're surrounded by horses, oak trees, blue skies, and enough countryside to make you forget you were just sitting on the 405. Come here, look at the wine list, do a tasting, and stop trying to control the day. Let it unfold. Is it Napa? No. Is it Paso? No. But for one afternoon, after a few pours and enough time staring at the hills, you may genuinely stop caring. Come for the wine. Stay for your brief transformation into a canyon person.

You get to select your own wine from their list to try at your own pace. Each time we went back for our next selection, the lovely ladies at the bar were always friendly and delightful. We wished to order the charcuterie box, but they were out, so we went with the Mediterranean board and beef empanadas served with chimichurri sauce - I'd order both again. Their happy hour is very generous, with a BOGO on drinks. Being right on the Harbor wharf, there was a slight breeze which was a welcome relief after the heatwaves the last couple of weeks. The courtyard is covered, so out of the sun, and super spacious. Only negative was the music situation. It was super spotty and dropped out a lot, quite annoying.

We arrived about 15 minutes before they were fully open so we sat on the patio looking at the wine options and talked until they opened. They had two white wines which I didn't try and the rest were reds. I didn't get to try all the reds because you get 6 to a tasting but all the ones I did taste were great! Ended up getting a bottle of the Cab Sauv and the Dark Elements to enjoy with the live music. The staff was excellent the entire time even when they got busy. Shout out to Lauren, Christian, Rachel and Shay for the excellent service! Specially Lauren who took care of us from open to close even with a little humorous mix up when she thought I was the live music. Lol great time highly recommend trying them. Great wines right on the water and amazing staff!

The Rosè was delicious and one of the best I think I have ever drank. The surroundings are just breathtaking with you feeling like you are in a little oasis in Newport Beach. They have lots of animals on the property, goats, chickens, tortoise, ponds with beautiful koi fish, bunnies. It's an animal lovers dream. All the animals are very happy and friendly. You can tell they get lots of love and attention, and are very well kept. The landscaping is like no other like you are in an exotic jungle mixed with a beautiful winery. The service was great! The owner and staff are very welcoming and were a lot of help with coordinating the shower and getting what we needed for the set up. I would definitely recommend hosting an event here. It's a private winery so it's open for groups and events. I will definitely have another event here!
