rotating “pop-up” local tasting room

* Featuring a different small, up-and-coming winemaker every month. These are upstart, rising star producers who don’t (yet?!) have a local tasting room, so we act as one for them.

* 3 featured wines available by the glass or as a 3-wine flight.

* Flights and glasses are priced according to wines served and range from $10-30 per glass and $15-30 per flight. Bottles are also available to-go or to enjoy on-site.

* Winemakers or winery representatives on-hand in-shop two Saturdays per month to pour, schmooze, sell and celebrate; at all other times, the Bay Grape team is pouring the wines and talking up their stories.

* No reservations needed; drop in anytime we’re open to taste and chill.

Blind tasting flights

* Sundays in the Oakland shop, 12-8pm

* Flight of 4 classic wines (2.5oz each), poured blind for $25.

* No reservations required; drop in anytime 12-8pm!

* Independently taste through the flight. This is a fun chance to test your bias and your palate and while guessing at classic wines! This is also an excellent opportunity for studying sommeliers, winemakers and wine professionals to hone their blind tasting skills.

* Want more personalized instruction? Book a private class with our owners, Stevie & Josiah!

Saturday Themed Tasting Flights

* 3 featured wines available by the glass or flight

* Flights are themed based on a different grape, region, style, or another common tie.

* The Bay Grape team shares stories, educational tidbits, and pieces of wisdom about each wine and the common theme to bolster your tasting experience.

* No reservations needed; drop in anytime Saturday from 12-10 pm to taste and chill.

Friday Fizz

* 1 special featured sparkling wine poured by the glass every Friday to help us all kick off the weekend.

* Stop in to toast us on your way home from work, or your way out to the party, or make us your official Friday destination!

* Drop in anytime Fridays 12-9pm.
