At first glance it seems like a touristy place...given the location but once you're inside it kinda has a local vibe. Granted going late afternoon on a dreary weekday..there wasn't a tourist or local there but our server was great. She knew about all the wines gave great recs based on our taste. You can do by the glass. They make all their own wine and cannot be purchased off site. What a hidden gem! Def coming back for a tasting! read more

Tucked away in the crevices of Fisherman's Wharf, you'll find this charming little tasting room. This is where delicious wines meet chill vibes and impeccable service. The Winery Collective is a local wine collective that's comprised of several different SF based wineries. Sometime before COVID hit, several of these wineries had tasting rooms on Treasure Island. I remember visiting the tasting rooms, all unique with different varietal specialties. Through this collective, these same wineries have been able to survive through their wines, and I'm so grateful for that. Speaking of the wines; they are so delicious! What I love about this collective is the variety. If you're craving for a tasty sparkling wine or a California staple (Rosé, Chard, or Cab), they have the Winery SF label. If you're looking for some Italian goodness, the Sottomarino label is fabulous for it. If you want some amazing light summer whites, the Viognier and Gypsy Blanc from Sol Rouge will be your babies. I could go on, but you catch my drift. The selection is top tier! The events are super fun and engaging as well. Attended a Drag and Mimosa show about a Month ago, and it was honestly all the rave! Brought a friend along with me and she couldn't stop talking about. We had a blast! The mimosas were on point too. There's always something fun happening at the collective, so never fear the FOMO! Lastly, I need to shine a spotlight on the staff and the stellar service. Kostas and Michael are absolute gems! They've hosted my friend and I in the tasting room, and it is always a pleasure to chat with them both. They are knowledgeable, fun, and filled with infectious energy that can be felt throughout the tasting room. Hats off to them for never skipping a beat and always keeping the wine spirit alive! I truly adore this place. If you're in Fisherman's Wharf (or anywhere in the city honestly), you must stop by to experience the magic. Tell them that Shayla sent you ;). read more

Always a good time at this cute spot in Fisherman's Wharf next to Argonaut Hotel and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. My foodie bff invited me to this fun spot, and we keep coming back. The owner and staff are so nice and inviting. Can't wait for new events on their calendar. There's so much to do around here afterwards, and so many restaurants nearby. Never a dull moment at the wharf. I love their wines by the glass. The mimosas are tasty, too (very little juice wink, wink). 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY). read more

The location was beautifully located next to the water and around other shops in a plaza. The parking was not the greatest and we had to pay for it. I was also not impressed with the overall size of the place. It was not as elegant as I expected for the name. It reminded me more of a pub. The company was great and that made it a lot more welcoming. Overall the wine was tasty but not enough for average price. I liked the service although it was empty. I recommend to go on Groupon and save some money on this adventure. read more

I've had so many lovely conversations here with some locals, some tourists, and with people from all over the world! Everyone's on their own adventure, and it's a joy to share stories over a great glass of wine - I LOVE the Pinot! The staff are a huge part of what makes this place so special. Deena, Michael, and Kostas are all wonderful - warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the wine. Kostas, brings an exceptionally positive energy and always has a fantastic playlist going.

Flights included 5 wines. read more

The pourer behind the counter was very friendly in welcoming us in and talking us through the different options for flights. She continued to be quite helpful and knowledgeable throughout the tasting as well. She was great at balancing addressing the group and giving us space to enjoy the wine and talk amongst ourselves.

Yes, I found another gem in SF! Kostas, the tasting room manager was engaging and explained the winemaker, Bryan Kane's award winning wines with details and enthusiasm. The tasting red wines were library wines from 2013-2016. My favorite, of course was 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon! The sweet wines were fun and creatively crafted to please all wine lovers. Michael's favorite, Sweeeet, port wine. Not too sweet as the name suggests. Very tasty port. Absolutely recommend! read more

This one of my favorite stops on a recent trip to SF. We visited after dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It's about a 10 minute walk from the hustle & bustle of the main restaurants. We decided to do a flight of 5 red wines and a flight of 5 white wines. That way we got to try 10 different wines in one sitting. How often does that happen?!?! Our server/bartender was super nice & also very knowledgable about all the wines being served. The wines were from west coast wineries and all were very good. A good mix of customers were in & out, and we had a great time with several couples sitting nearby. So much fun, and I'd highly recommend! read more

History

Established in 2008.

Winery Collective was started by a group of small, boutique winemakers with a simple concept -- "The best way to know if you want to buy a wine is to taste it first." Guided by a principle of unity in the marketplace and a goal of drinking great wine, the Winery Collective was formed. Together, Winery Collective and it's participating wineries offer a unique California Wine Experience to those visiting San Francisco. With wineries across the state, Winery Collective offers a convenient way for you to explore California wines and learn about various grape growing regions and wine-making techniques directly from the winemaker's themselves. Each wine at the Winery Collective is selected by the group of winemakers for it's unique style and expression of the terroir of the region. Most wines are available only in California or directly from the winery. Since most participating wineries don't have tasting rooms, Winery Collective offers a unique opportunity to taste these rare wines!

Meet the Manager: Winemakers .

Since the Winery Collective is owned and operated by a group of small, boutique winemakers, it's tough to write a bio. Instead, lets talk about the the participating wineries and winemakers. We are a group of winemakers dedicated to getting great wine to the people. We don't have to answer to distributors, retailers, etc. If we like a winery and it's wines and they want to be a part of the collective, we invite them to bring their wines in. It's that simple. It's all about the wine, good people, and great life experiences. Come down and meet our family of wineries and our wines at the Winery Collective.

It was pretty quiet, and there were still plenty of high-top tables and lounge areas available when we arrived. The staff were friendly and explained how everything worked - they link your credit card to an Embarc card (with a QR code), which you then scan to select and pour your wines. I appreciated that there wasn't really a pricing incentive for larger servings - so, in a way, that made it easier to try smaller 1 oz tastings of multiple wines without feeling pressured to commit to half or full glasses, which is ideal if you enjoy exploring different options like I do.

Guest were having problems finding the valet o because there was no one physically there o cars were parked in front of the stand so they couldn't even pull over for the muni to pass and had to keep driving around the block o its was dark and hard to actually see the stand I will continue to recommend One Market as a lunch and dinner location, but will not be able to further endorse as an event venue.

The wonderful staff at one market restaurant made sure everything was going perfect. First of all I loved working with Serena, she met all my expectations and had gone above.

She was so kind and generous she even compared prices of vendors for us. The venue was set up perfectly!! They even let us use their cupcake stands, and through in extra tables for our props and everything. The staff were so helpful in making I'm not sure we had enough food and everything was running smoothly. They even offered to reheat our food when we didn't get to eat it due to being so busy, and when we didn't eat it they packed it in to go boxes for us. When it came time to end our event one of our guests broke a glass and it was no big deal. The staff cleaned it right away and I didn't hear any complaints, we were only told to make sure the kids had shoes on. The venue is located right across the street from the embarcadero. So the view is amazing. I give this place 5+ stars and will definitely be having another event here.

A friend took me to the Winery Collective a few weeks ago and what a delightful experience! Tucked away like a hidden gem, in the heart of Fisherman's wharf! This wine bar feels less like a stop on a tasting route and more like being welcomed into someone's home. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by Kostas--a truly remarkable gentleman whose depth of wine knowledge is immediately clear, yet never overwhelming. What sets this place apart isn't just the quality of the wine (which is exceptional), but the experience he creates. He takes the time to talk with you, to understand what you enjoy, and to share stories and insights that make every sip more meaningful. There's no rush, no pretense--just genuine hospitality and a passion for what he does. It's rare to find a place that feels this personal, this warm, and this authentic. If you're looking for more than just a tasting--if you want connection, conversation, and a memorable experience--this is the kind of place you hope to stumble upon, and never forget. read more

What a great idea! Wine tasting right in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf at the Argonaut Hotel. The place just opened last week and I stopped by to check it out. The tastings and service were top-notch. The variety of boutique wineries they showcase provide a unique opportunity to taste and purchase phenomenal wines that you may not come across even if you went all the way out to wine country. A great place to take out of town visitors and certainly much easier to plan around given its location in the city. I think the experience will simply continue to get better as they work out the kinks. Definitely recommend going. Cheers! read more

A few of us went on a weekday evening after a gym class, and fortunately the atmosphere was casual enough that we didn't feel underdressed. It was pretty quiet, and there were still plenty of high-top tables and lounge areas available when we arrived. The staff were friendly and explained how everything worked - they link your credit card to an Embarc card (with a QR code), which you then scan to select and pour your wines. I appreciated that there wasn't really a pricing incentive for larger servings - so, in a way, that made it easier to try smaller 1 oz tastings of multiple wines without feeling pressured to commit to half or full glasses, which is ideal if you enjoy exploring different options like I do. We were a bit pressed for time since they closed at 8pm that day, so I'm def looking forward to coming back to try more drinks (they rotate their offerings) and spend some more time enjoying the ambiance.

A different combo indeed! This was our second wine tasting room on our Treasure Island tasting journey. Out of all the wineries that we tasted at on the island, this was by bar the most casual. Might have been just a little too casual for yours truly, but someone else might really enjoy this aspect. From the outside, this place looks like a mini warehouse. Normally when I see places like this, the outside is pretty deceiving. This one wasn't. Like, it wasn't at all! It was super tiny inside with one couch, a couple chairs and a a little more than a handful of seats at the actual tasting bar. The tasting room is located inside of an old war submarine, and many of its' idealistic features are still very much in tact. It serves as a mini museum in a way too. Sotomarino specializes in Italian Varietals that are made here in California. I'm not sure how Italy's wine climate differs from California, but this was the first time that I've tasted Italian wine that was grown in California. The verdict? I liked some of the wines, but definitely didn't fall in love with any of them. A tasting consists of 5 wines at a cost of $15. This is pretty reasonable, but after tasting at the Winery SF, we felt a little jipped here. I enjoyed tasting some Italian varietals that I had never had before (Lagrein, Dolcetto, Sopraffino). However, the wines weren't really my cup of tea and the lady who was pouring the wine was super skimpy with the pours. She seemed like she was new, but still. I just felt like I didn't get my money's worth of tastings here. Also, their wines are pretty expensive. It would be a different matter if I was actually in Italy and tasting Italian wine. I just thought that they were way too pricey for the quality and style of wines that they were offering. All in all, it was a pretty average experience for me. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I think the casual atmosphere might work from others.
