About This Location
Our first location and the Orange County flagship. A “hip” modern-industrial luxury tasting lounge that is a cross between a New York “Soho” music venue and a “Napa Valley” tasting lounge has opened its doors in Laguna Beach’s ”The Hive” next to the Sawdust Festival. This is not an ordinary winery by any means.
Featuring a 16-foot glass garage door, skylights, and a shaded patio, McClain Cellars brings the beauty of Laguna Beach into the tasting room. Along the bar, you will find artistic wine bottles with unique paintings on each. Each of the wines has a clever name like, “Summer Breeze,” “Family Values,” “Promise Keeper,” and “Faithful Friend” to name a few. The walls have colorful paintings that encourage each guest to stop and gaze. With the capacity to host up to 49 guests at once, this quaint venue offers free parking, easy freeway access, and flexible hours. The tasting lounge is in the HIVE at 849 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, CA next to Oliver’s Osteria, Kitchen in the Canyon, and the Laguna Beach Beer Company.
