MOONSTONE CELLARS

OUR LOCAL FAVORITE

At this local hotspot, everyone knows your name. Moonstone Cellars is our favorite spot for wine tasting in Cambria, CA, and a must on every trip we take. We initially stopped in as we were walking by, and four years later, we are still coming by. Moonstone has excellent stories behind their winemaking, labels, varietals, and tasting notes. We can’t get enough of this gem. We stop in regularly not only because we are members and have pickups, but because we have to say “hello” to everyone keeping the hometown feel of the winery. The staff is terrific, and your time wine tasting at Moonstone Cellars will fly by due to their hospitality.

We have watched them expand their tasting room to an event space upstairs, an incredible outdoor patio, and even an upstairs chateau available on Airbnb. The staff is so kind, and we have laughed and cried in this tasting room. Todd, the grape stomper, and Nate, the tasting room manager, will treat you like family. In addition, their wine club is spectacular. You gain a 10% wine discount per year, and you can also swap your wines to exactly what you want with each shipment.

Fridays are member afternoons where you can meet many locals from the Central Coast. They bring appetizers, swap stories, and enjoy their complimentary wine tastings and glasses. We were lucky enough to be in town during a member night, “Moonstone Memoirs,” and decided to enjoy the member event. Before we knew it, Michael had taken the mic and told the story of our adventures in Italy. Moonstone is always a good time, and you will not be disappointed. We cannot wait for our next pickup!

927 BEER COMPANY

THE MICROBREWERY IN TOWN

OK, so not technically wine tasting in Cambria, but 927 Beer Company is an excellent spot for the craft beer lover in your life. They offer a variety of locally brewed beers. I love that “927” comes from the prefix Cambria phone numbers used to have. Back when you only had to give your phone number with four digits. 927 Beer Company has a great tap list and makes an excellent stop for beer lovers! In addition, the tasting room has a variety of board games for friends and family to enjoy!

FERMENTATIONS WINE TASTING SHOP

A WINE TASTING SHOP THAT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

Fermentations is a great wine shop and wine tasting bar in the East Village. It has an incredible selection of Central Coast wines and is a great place to stop in and try a variety of local offerings. You are sure to find your new favorite wine in Cambria at Fermentations. The wine shop is 21+, so not an adventure for the family. However, they have a small area for children to wait if you want to run in and grab a bottle for your hotel room. As I mentioned in our restaurant suggestions, my husband and I had a little getaway away from our kids where we could try some of the adult offerings in town.

Fermentation is a great time, and they introduced us to some unique wines. The staff knows about the wine they are pouring and introduced us to one of our latest Central Coast favorites – the Austin Hope Quest. This is a wonderful place to stop in to get the lay of the land when visiting the Central Coast wine country.

CAYUCOS CELLARS

LOCAL WINE TASTING IN THE HEART OF CAMBRIA SHOPPING

Cayucos Cellars is next to my favorite shopping in town, the Cambria Garden Shed. I highly recommend taking some time out of your day to check out all the shed has to offer. Adding Cayucos Cellars to “the shed” is excellent because it gives you a place to stop and rest while shopping around. In addition, you can enjoy the view of Main Street and enjoy the beauty of Central Coast wine tasting in the middle of your shopping trip!

CUTRUZZOLA VINEYARDS TASTING ROOM

ANOTHER GREAT WINERY IN TOWN

Cutruzzola Vineyards is a boutique winery in Cambria that makes an incredible Riesling. The vineyard is just outside town, but the tasting room is right at the end of the West Village before heading down Moonstone Drive. The wines are excellent, and something about their estate Riesling with Thai food is spectacular!
