Had a team event here to blend our own wines and create our own labels. It was a great experience, staff made us feel like old friends, location was private, with classic Cali indoor/outdoor areas. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible. When you taste their wine you'll know why they've won awards for it, deliciously!

Best experience! Paul crafted the best wine tasting journey! So impressed I'm joined the wine club! Happy dog friendly place with modern and electric vibes!

I went there with my girlfriend on a weeknight, and it was great. The couple next to use was friendly, and the bartender tender was very attentive. He walked us through our flights and helped us pick the right wine to take home. Shoutout to Tanner, thank you!

Went in tonight after finding these guys on Google. Had a fantastic time. The atmosphere was beyond good. Les Rose performed a great set adding to the ambience and vibe. Allie was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She was able to assist us not only in choosing a flight that we loved but a wine that we loved outside of the flight as well. Best tasting room I've been to. I can't recommend it enough.

Such a wonderful experience! Alexandra was amazing, not only with our pours but with our dogs ♥️ they thank you for the treats! Wines are delicious and would definitely recommend. Thank you again Alexandra (Ali) for taking such good care of us!

Visited here recently with my family and we were not disappointed! Paul helped us out with our tastings and it was a really nice experience. The bar where we sat was super comfortable and the pours of our wine tastings were generous! Such a nice atmosphere inside and outside as well! Thank you again for a great experience!

Great place to hang out! Allie, the manager, is especially friendly & informative. Love the live music & fire features while enjoying a glass of quality wine! Highly recommend 👌

We LOVE this place. The wine & chocolate tasting is a perfect addition to any trip. Ask for Paul—he’s a great guide and makes the experience extra special!

The wine was great to good. The California Dreamin' was amazing. We both loved the Hope & Faith and the Pride & Joy. A couple of the Chardonnays were just good. Way too much butter. But what made this place 5 stars was Lauren. I've worked at several high-end restaurants, owned my own restaurant, and also semi-retired as a sommelier at the Concanon Winery in Livermore. Although this young girl has only been in the wine business for a little over a month, her people skills are a 5-star rating by themselves. As far as I'm concerned, she knows far more than a 1-month employee should ever know about wine, and she can only learn more. I'd love to see her as a fellow sommelier someday. But when selling wine or food, nothing beats her great customer service and top-notch personality. If you stop by, ask for Lauren by name, you will be amazed. And tell her Gary and Crescent sent you. She won't remember us, but we'll remember her.McClain Cellars, you have a hidden treasure here. Don't lose her.

We are so glad we chose McClain for our stop in Solvang and Paul was amazing and made our wine tasting experience 10x better. Highly recommend

Tanner was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable of the wines, shared fun anecdotes and made the experience so fun and enjoyable. We loved chatting with him and would definitely return to Solvang to see him at the McClain Cellars! He made our honeymoon very special and sweet! Great experience!

McClain was our favorite in Solvang!!! The staff and wine were amazing, and we will definitely stop here first on our next trip.

Wonderful place to go for wine tasting. I highly recommend it. It’s beautiful. Its atmosphere is wonderful and the best of all the gentlemen that helped my friend and I his name was Paul. What a great experience Paul gave us. I cannot extend enough gratitude towards him he made our experience the best, and the wines were delicious. I highly recommend that you visit and ask for Paul. He is amazing!

What a fabulous experience! Paul, our sommelier, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, generous, and attentive. He suggested the perfect pairings, leading one fantastic taste into another. We felt like we were in good hands, listened to about our tastes, and appreciated. Do come here to enjoy and evening (try the riesling!!) and ask for Paul. You will not be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our Saturday and the service with Agnes and Cathy were AMAZING and So friendly! We met another couple there and looking forward to seeing them again at the next visit! Our lab, Dixie, was welcomed and the wine is seriously THE BEST! We’ve been members now for a couple of years, and always enjoy driving up from La Jolla to pick up our wine and always feel like family there! ❤️

This winery has been absolutely amazing along with the service. I would leave more stars if I could. For context, I am very picky about wine but every wine I have tasted here today was amazing. Tanner was absolutely phenomenal and 1000% deserves a raise he is incredibly passionate about the business and is a well of knowledge about everything he introduces to and about the neighborhood which for tourists it's very valuable. Met him out and about and we just so happened to get wrapped into a conversation about wine and he swept us away with his passion and knowledge towards wine and most importantly his pride towards where he works that got us waking up excited to come and visit the next day and I'm very pleased to say he was not lying when saying "we got the best wine in town". PLEASE COME AND VISIT THIS WINERY the workers are so incredibly friendly and the love with what they do is noticeable. ASK FOR TANNER and you won't be wronged! He was phenomenal! He listens to preferences and makes great recommendations based off that. Again, I'm very picky but, I had so much fun and every wine I tasted was great! Recognition is heavily due towards this man because this type of passion is hard to come by. Very impressive selection and the vibes were immaculate.

Great staff, great back story and great tasting wines. A definite must visit winery!!!!

They have a happy hour four wine flight tasting from 3-5pm, Monday to Thursday for only $10! Pretty great deal, and this should be at all of their locations currently. Call ahead to check.Posting their current menu as of 2/17/25.

McClain Cellars offers a fantastic selection of handcrafted wines with a welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and a stylish tasting experience.

My good friend and myself had a wonderful time at McClain Cellars. The wine was superb and the venue featured beautiful artwork!🍷

Amazing place I absolutely love it so Laguna Beach. I enjoyed live music, great atmosphere comfortable seating with heat lamps. Generous pours of wine. Amazing service. They even got me treats for my dog.I tried the Masters flight tasting with some amazing cheese and crackers. My server Agnes was delightful and so attentive.It was not expensive, considering the quality of wine and food and presentation.I would highly recommend this place.

Great wine, great vibe, great staff! Antonio was an excellent host and walked us through both of our flights.

Antonio is amazing. We enjoyed the whole tasting. 🫶🏼 10/10

We had a great experience at McClain cellars! Antonio was super knowledgeable and extremely charming. He showed up for each pour as if on cue. Amazing service and even better wine!

We stopped by for a quick drink to celebrate and Antonio definitely delivered on the experience!!

Antonio was absolutely amazing. We were first time wine tasters and he was so helpful and patient. He taught us so much about wine tasting and made the experience a 10/10.

Our server was amazing! Very knowledge of the wine and town! Made our last stop of the day very enjoyable and sent us with dinner recommendations.

Antonio from McClains made our visit great. He's very personal and made us feel at home. Great laughs and great wine!

Super friendly service, very easy to customize your tasting experience! 10 out of 10!!Antonio was the best!!

Stopped in for a to-go bottle and wish I stayed for a glass too! They were the friendliest, most helpful people and the wine is delicious!!! I will be back!

Excellent wine and knowledgeable staff. Janet was amazing - super polite, and she throughly explained the menu options. I highly recommend stopping for the wine tastings and becoming a member for extra discounts. Thanks Janet! We'll be back for more.Edit: This was my second time here, with a group of 4.

We just did the wine and chocolate truffle pairing it is indeed one of the best wine tasting at Solvang! Our server Allie (if I remembered correctly), is very sweet! She helped us a lot. Love the Summer Breeze and white chocolate lavender pairing!

Great time with the family before dinner. Wonderful weather, great wine and awesome popcorn made for a great night! Staff was wonderful and caring!

Amazing Experience- Antonio was spectacular, super helpful and very informative. We joined the wine just because of him. The wines were spectacular as well. We are all about an experience and Antonio provided a fabulous one. Can't wait to be back to enjoy the Chocolate wine paring they have.

Great service and wine!!

This winery is the best in oc due to their class, service, and quality of wine. Small business with multiple locations - takes care of its members - values long term relationship with its patrons - and overall just a fantastic business model: cute merch, olive oil and balsamic that are amazing, and amazing employees like Taylor who keep us coming back 🙂 - Blaze / Lauren

This place is amazing! I have been coming here forever and the owners and the wine are top quality. Taylor is irreplaceable and the main reason we continue to come to the laguna locations

Amazing amazing people, service and delicious wines!! You have to stop by if you are in the area!

We loved the wines. They specialize in blends which we are always a fan of. The space is amazing and you will definitely enjoy coming here.

Allie was an exceptional host as we toured various wines. She was attentive and accommodating, especially as the other half of the group showed up later.

Fantastic people…

Nice, quiet environment. The servers were knowledge about the wine and super friendly!

Super chill spot. Great ambiance, super friendly staff and amazing wine.

The cab’s are fantastic!

Our wine educator Antonio gave us a personalized tasting that made us fall in love with the wines at McClain. He took the time to let us know which grapes and notes would best suit us based on our preferences and led us to the tastings that would be the best. Overall an amazing experience that will make us visit the locations closest to us in Laguna Beach and Irvine.

Lovely people and great wine. A very good variety. Love how you can pick your wines for the wine club.

Great experience! Wonderful wine, make your own cheese plate, beautiful outdoor seating, incredibly fun staff.

We had a wonderful experience at McClain Cellars! The wine is delicious, and the conversation even better! Would definitely return.

Enjoyed the experience with my mom and sister. The clientele was helpful and friendly. The wines were all amazing! I highly recommend Summer Breeze and Love and Happiness. A must stop if you’re in Solvang!

Friendly staff! Great educators. Love the art and love the wine even more.

Love everything about McClain. Their story, their vibe, inclusive atmosphere and obviously their wine. Come here, drink here and bring friends !

Great wine and great times!

So awesome!

we just joined their wine club and attended our first members night which was fantastic! An amazing staff and community! We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place.

Taylor is the best! We thoroughly enjoyed her wine knowledge and the majority of wines. A fun, eclectic atmosphere to enjoy wine tasting! Highly recommend!

Great ambience and the live music was excellent!

Excellent quality wines! I continue to bring family and friends often to enjoy their wine and friendly wine experts! Highly recommend!

Award winning wines, great people, and cool music- including RIDESHARE jazz 🎶😊

Antonio was knowledgeable, fun, and super engaging! Visit McClain Cellars next time you are in Solvang. Top notch!

Just amazing. The price point is high but it's well worth it. This some of the finest wines I've tasted outside of going to a Vineyard itself. I was truly impressed with every red wine I sampled, including blends, which usually aren't my thing. The service was outstanding as well. I highly recommend this venue if you are a wine lover and you are in Laguna Beach

The best wine tasting in all of Laguna. The wine pairs amazing with the aesthetic of the scenery outside along amazing zest of all the exquisite cheese they have to offer. Taylor served us with a knowledge that only could be compared to the highest rated sommeliers. One of the best experiences I have ever had. Thank you and we will be coming back very soon!

We came here for a friend’s birthday and had such a great time! Amazing experience with Taylor, she was incredibly knowledgable about the wines and the customer service was exceptional. Will come back for the great wine and a friendly face!

Taylor is the best! Give her a raise! She’s an angel. We had the best time and will definitely be back 🙂

McClain Cellars was recommended to me by another local wine tasting room and it did not disappoint! They have charcuterie and wine flights and our server Janet made some really great recommendations. Will definitely be coming back!

LOVE THIS PLACE! Wines are totally worth the price point, some of the best wines I’ve found in OC. Especially the Savannah Grace and the Olsen Ovation. Live music on Saturdays and Sundays. Always great artists. Charcuterie if you need something to snack on. Great restaurants next door for dinner after your wine tasting. An overall win win. You’ll find me here often 😊

Bomb wine (worth the high price point), Taylor and Ariel attentive despite the crowd that was there. Frank Duvall happened to be playing this particular Sunday, so you had good wine, good music 100% will definitely be back!

This place is wonderful! Not just the wines (which are fantastic) but the wine hostesses, particularly Elizabeth, are top notch! We had the best time enjoying our flights... my wife had the white wine flight and I had the owners all red flight. Some of the best wine we've ever sampled! We ended up joining their wine club. We had great conversation and a great time overall. Highly recommend this winery with great indoor and outdoor spaces as well as a billiard table and lots of snacks. We will return anytime we're visiting Solvang!

We had Connor as our server, and he was a great! Also, the happy hour was a great deal.

Happy hour taster was delicious and only $10 for 4 wines.

Very lovely place the patio is immaculate Antonio was amazing and was very helpful in helping us choose the right wine for us !

Elizabeth was such a gem! Great atmosphere, cozy seating, delicious wine, and each bottle with its own story. You feel the love in this place. My husband and I will be returning!

Elizabeth was wonderful, so knowledgeable and hospitalitable! Would definitely come back.

We always have a great time @ McClains. There’s a wine for every taste. The people pouring wine know their wines and are fun and informative.

Always a great experience and the first place we come to when we visit Laguna Beach. A fun time with good wine served by a great McClain staff.

This is the best place ever. My wife and I love it!

Hello my husband and I love coming to McClain Cellars. The staff is top notch!

Love this place! Ariel, is amazing! Off the beaten path- great wine tasting joint.

Love this place! Ariel is the best server and so welcoming. Delicious wine!

So good! Alex is the best wine ambassador in Laguna hands down! We bought 3 bottles and definitely will be back for more 🙂

Amazing service!

We really enjoyed the service by Taylor. We picked a wine flight to sample that was too fruity and not in our desired palette, Taylor noticed and brought us something drier and more of our liking. We found some wines we really liked and ordered some glasses of wine after our wine flight. Would recommend for service and atmosphere. A fun date spot for before or after dinner. This is my second visit here.

Great wine and crazy friendly staff. They will go out of their way to explain each wine's flavor profile and will ensure you get what your pallet likes.

Ariel was amazing! She poured all of the wine for our delicious tasting and was super informative, positive and fun! I hope she is my wine ambassador the next time I visit! 🍷❤️😃

Cool spot. Great vibes and decor. The wines are awesome as well! Met Connor, Juliana, and the GM Taylor is very nice and friendly. Great wine and staff! Highly recommend!

Alex is the best server with excellent customer service and recommendations on a red wines I would have never selected! You have to come to this location for her recommendations ❤️

We love McClain wines!! Connor was so personable and knowledgeable. We love getting a chance to have lively conversations with him and Taylor as well!!BestSue michaelson and Greg Rathbone

Great service! Love the atmosphere! A must see!

Such an amazing atmosphere with live music and delicious wine! The cheese, meats, and popcorn paired so well with the wine. Taylor was our waitress and she was AMAZING!

The wine was delicious and Antonio was amazing. He provided the best service and made our experience so much more fun!

The wine was fantastic, the people were wonderful. I would highly recommend trying there wines.

I have been a member for almost 2 years and I always look forward to going to McClain’s. 5 stars for everything!!

Everything about McClain’s is fantastic. The owners, staff and of course the wine is stellar. You will not be disappointed by visiting this fine establishment.

Connor was amazing! McClain Cellars Laguna Beach is a must try. Great wines and very knowledge friendly wine ambassador!

Juliana is the BOMB, so knowledgeable and FUN!!!! The wine I tried is delicious and so is the popcorn! Super fun night!!!!

Juliana is amazing!!! I love her 🍷💕🥰

Came here not knowing what to expect and had THEE BEST experience ever. Between the art, the wine, and the best part Juliana!, the whole experience was an absolute delight. I don’t live near the area but I would make the 1.5 hour drive as much as possible so I could come here as often as possible. My cousin brought here (as a wine club member for the last three years) and now I understand why. Do yourself a favor and come check this place out.

If I can give McClain and Juliana 6 stars, I would. This place is filled with so much care and thoughtfulness. I met Juliana a few years ago when I joined as a wine club member and she and others are so welcoming. It has been an incredible experience getting to do complimentary monthly wine tastings, making connections with those who work at McClain and also people who I meet here along the way. Highly recommend if you love good stupid wine and good company. ❤️❤️

Cool hidden spot great wines. My wife loves wine I'm not big on wine but these were very good had to take some home. Recommend McLains to all

Very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the wine tasting!

Always a great experience at McClain. The wine is amazing and the staff is so accommodating.Thank you Juliana and Taylor!

AMAZING!

McClain wine is one of the best wine I’ve tasted Jason the owner is so personal and caring we’ve met wonderful friends you have to try this winery in Irvine, Solvang ,and Laguna Canyon we also love Taylor 💕🍷🍷

Awesome Fabulous and amazing

The wine is fantastic, everyone is extremely friendly, and they have a great set of venues at which to hang out and grab some great wine. We became members the first time we visited, and have loved it ever since.

Wow, I’ve had other wine memberships but at McClain it’s friends and family. As a wine club member at other wineries I never felt as valued so deeply appreciate the experience with the McClain team!

Jason Rocks!!!

Awesome experience. Fantastic customer service. Wine was outstanding. Connor couldn't have been more helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

Connor was amazing! Wine was fantastic. Thank you McClain vineyards;)

Love Taylor, Chris & Julianna! They make our experience at McClain Laguna so special each & every time…❤️🍷

Amazing beyond words! Would highly recommend expert or novice! Juliana is passionate, an expert, she tailored our testings based on our preferences and knowledge. Wine is is exquisite, well priced and absolutely a game changer with friends and family. The passion the flavors evoke the passion for wine and community. Bravo!!

Im so excited about upcoming events!!!Check it out!!!!

Loved it with my girls!!! Evrryone is amazing!!!!

Best wine in all of the USA!!!

We went up to Laguna for the day while my mom was in town. After the traffic, the first thing we wanted to do was get some wine. We happened to come across this awesome little tasting room as our first stop AND ENDED UP STAYING FOR 3 HOURS!! My wife and I visited the Solvang location not too long ago and absolutely loved it. Our wine-tender Juliana was absolutely incredible! So knowledge, fun and kind. We loved our wine and out time. We will definitely be back! We also happened to run into THOR who happened to help build the tasting room with his hammer. True story! Thanks McClain!!

Best wine in orange county

Cool game room vibe, Lamar was friendly, knowledgeable about the wine, and made sure everyone had a good time! Bold wines and a family friendly feel.

Taylor was awesome and the wine was fantastic

We stumbled upon this absolutely amazing wine tasting, with the BEST wine ambassador ever, Taylor!!! Not only was she unbelievably knowledgeable, she was fun, personable and so easy to talk with! She made the entire experience perfect!!!

Taylor took such good care us! The wine was consistently good! Can't wait to come back!

Cornelius was a great server! He went along with all our banter and was always making sure we were ok. The wine was delicious!

Nice spot in Buellton and great service every time. Hayley helped me out both times I've been here and she described the wines with passion and enthusiasm each time. Good wine, good time!

Such a great place!

Nice people. Great wines.

Great wine!

Very pleasant surroundings and very nice wines served by the very accommodating server

Jack was great! So was Jason!

This place is awesome! The servers, especially Tiffany, are super nice and know their wines. Great conversation and amazing wines! Also don't forget to try the artisanal popcorn... Seriously to die for

Jason was a phenomenal host. He encouraged us to just sit back and relax and enjoy our time in the beautiful venue. No pressure to move on to the next taste and get out. Wines were delicious. Also tasted popcorn and purchased candles and vinegar in addition to wine. Can't wait to buy some of the artwork when it's available. I'll definitely be back and recommend this as a stopping point when in the area!!!

Wonderful wine and wonderful experience.

Amazing experience! Award winning wines and amazing service. Everyone there was having a very enjoyable time. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience at McClain Buellton!! The wines are delicious, and the staff are super knowledgeable, attentive, and courteous. The patio is a great place to hang out, enjoy a flight, and play some yard games. Looking forward to my next visit!

Even though all the electricity was out in Buellton and the surrounding area, Reid and Tiffany the hosts at McClain were perky and ready to serve and the wine was delicious. I am a wine maker and own a wine tasting company and I would refer this place to everyone. Can't wait to visit soon. Try the popcorn too.

We loved the wine and joined the club. Great tasting room in Buellton location. We live near Laguna another location where we can pick up wine.

Great place to hang out!

I just found out that McClain cellars is up in Buellton now! We signed up for their wine club after being gifted some of their wine last summer and we have been very pleased with everything we have received from them! I look forward to visiting this tasting room and enjoying this as a local place to visit!

Delicious wines! Came here for a date night and was blown away. We did a wine tasting and loved each one we tried. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t forget to try their popcorn! Can’t wait to come back!

The Tasting/Barrel Room is spectacular! It's not every place that you cab walk in that offers not only a great tasting service but lets you do it in such a cool space! Buellton is perfectly located in the middle of one of the great wine regions in the US, if not the world. Come on out and see this!

I have always known that McClain makes amazing wines and now we can enjoy them with friends and family at one of the best tasting rooms in the area! The attention to detail to create an amazing wine tasting experience is exceptional and the staff really know how to make a tasting enjoyable. See you again soon! Cheers!

This is the best looking winery in the valley. So relaxing and awesome to hang out in. Their wines are unique and super yummy. New place, can't wait to come back. Plus you can walk to other wineries, a brewery, and industrial eats all on the same road!
