Tasting By The Sea Wine Bar

Take Back Roads

I don’t think I can fully sum up the experience of being here. Words won’t do it justice, and photos seem to fall short as well. Though there aren’t many food options, the food available is excellent, and there are a ton of great wines. Live music on a regular basis, which is always a pleasant addition to the atmosphere, and the view out over the Russian River and coastline is phenomenal. It gets chilly so dress warm.

OMG! Tasting by the Sea. Says it all. A beautiful place to stop and enjoy a bit of wine or have a beer. The Russian river ends its journey into the Pacific Ocean. Nature's best, water sunshine and wildlife. Glorious.

Salty dog true blue local wine bar. Absolutely amazing place to chill and hear live music on Sunday. Love the northern Cali laid back vibes. Our little lady loved it too - all outdoors so fur babies welcome. No food, but you can get food outside from the cafe two doors down.

Excellent spot for wine tasting with a view of the bay. Friendly service and live music is a nice touch.

Perfect place to breathe in some fresh air and have a relaxing read as a break from city life in San Francisco; I can't wait to come back!

Unique wine bar all with a great view! Limited seating on the patio but all are welcome.

O my god. Lovely informative. Friendly. Gypsy and Greg were amazing hosts who made me feel welcome and relaxed. The wines were great. The view was unparalled

Love this place! Chill vibe, amazing views, delicious wine, tasty food from next door, gracious and attentive host and hostess. A new Sunday favorite!

Little slice of heaven. Grab a seat and watch the water go by. Jazz, wine and sunshine. Noice. Ok selections of wine by the glass. Off grid for sure, so enjoy the silence.

Charming, tiny spot right on the Russian River that makes up for it’s size with big, big views! Always a great spot to relax and enjoy the Sonoma Coast. Highly recommend.

This spot is a little bit of heaven on the water to forget your troubles or in our case open the wine bar for my daughter's birthday. Gregory is a very kind person to do this back in June. We visited yesterday with another couple after taking our dogs to the beach. The name of the extremely lovely person working yesterday I didn't know, however, she was wonderful even with her hands full. The wine choices were great and the sandwiches were delicious!

What a fantastic location in which to taste a few local wines and watch the sun go down! My family and I had a wonderful time here on a Thursday evening. Very friendly service, though it should be noted that they do not have "specialty organic juice elixirs for our non-alcohol-drinking patrons", as their website says. One can run across the street to buy something for the non-drinkers.

THE MOST INCREDIBLE PLACE I’VE EVER BEEN!!!!!! The staff from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. It was purely magical. I walked up past the most charming band playing beautiful catchy tunes. It was light sprinkling on and of which made it that much more charming. The view is incredible. This place will be engrained in hearts forever! We can’t wait to return!

Amazing views and ambiance. Mermaids adorn the railings and smooth beats played in the background. Gregory and his wife opened about a year ago. They care about their customers. They care about the experience. This is an amazing spot in all of Sonoma county and being a local, I wish I had found out about them sooner! Definitely will be back for sunsets and wine.

Fantastic locally produced small batch wines, an absolutely stunning view and a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Id give them 6 stars if i could.

The owner/manager helped us find our lodging. He had music playing while serving wine in a comfortable outdoor patio area. View of Jenner Bay just feet away. This is a faraway getaway place right smack on the coast far from urban cities and complexity. Beautiful!

If you are going to order food here then this review is for you. When we ordered sandwiches we saw the waiter bringing them from cross the street. The gas station has a deli and it appears they just get the sandwiches from there. Innovative!

If you enjoy wine, I wouldn't recommend this place. It not a tasting room, more like a wine shack behind a business. The wine is equivalent to two buck chuck with a price point of $15-18 per glass. The staff is nice and the view is decent but not really worth anything over $5 a glass.

Shop keeper lady harassed my wife while she was waiting for a parking spot without blocking any cars on a busy weekend. I understand parking is limited in this town, and running a small business is not easy. Still nothing justifies being rude to anyone, let alone potential customers or customers of your neighboring shop. We got our coffee in Cafe Aquatica and guess what, they do have wine as well! We know where we’ll go for a wine by the water next time when we are in Jenner. I genuinely wish good luck to this shop in business with this attitude.
