Wine Tasting Rooms in San Francisco

6 Best in the SF City Limits

NOTE: On December 6, San Francisco (and a few surrounding counties) will once again be on a stay-at-home order. This will last indefinitely. Click here for more information.

Everyone has heard of the tasting rooms all over Napa Valley and Sonoma County. But did you know that there are several wonderful tasting rooms in San Francisco?

While Northern California Wine Country is a must-see for any wine lover, you can skip the drive and just venture out to the tasting rooms all over SF. You will find a few of them in Fisherman's Wharf, and many are also popping up further south in SF's SOMA and Dogpatch districts. In addition, you will find half a dozen places to taste on Treasure Island.

The difference between these tasting rooms and wine bars is that you taste their locally produced artisanal wines. Some also offer tastings from other popular Napa and Sonoma Valley wineries. Since many also have their production facilities on site, you can call ahead to request a tour of their winemaking areas.
