   Service was awesome but overall pricing and discount structure left us disappointed. Tastings are too expensive and you have to buy 3 overpriced bottles to get a “free” tasting. This is our 3rd or 4th visit to a McClain’s location and probably our last. The wines are good but not fantastic. Pricing is what I would expect from a Napa/Sonoma winery with a pedigree not an urban winery just trying to make a name for themselves. FYI, I had to leave a rating for food in order to submit the review but we did not have the food. Valet parking is required and first 2 hours are free. That should have been enough time for a leisurely tasting but turns out we got back to the valet stand about 5-10 minutes late and we were charged $10 for parking. Not the fault of the winery, but left a bad impression after already feeling we were overcharged for our wine tasting.

   The server was excellent. However, management understaffed with only having 1 server for the entire place on a Thursday evening especially during Pageant of the Masters. I really hope at some point they are able to serve real food, even if just light appetizers.

   Our experience was excellent. I think that their wines are limited in terms of taste between the different varieties. However their popcorn and cheese selection was great. I think it is a little expensive for what you get but all in all we had a great time and plan to attend again at another location.

   Good wine but they need a kitchen. The pre-packaged snacks that they did have were very limited and not exciting.

    Great wine but wish they served real appetizers….not just cheese and crackers. They need a small kitchen. It can be done….I’ve gone to other wineries where they serve cooked appetizers.

    McClain Cellars - Laguna BeachGereageerd op 2 mei 2022Thanh you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We wish we had that as well and we are hoping to install a small kitchen soon, but there are many regulations and rules to get past first to make sure everything is up to par! Please keep a look out for us to open this in the future! (:

    Nice atmosphere. Live music was nice. Can’t rate food appropriately as they don’t have a kitchen. It would be nice if they could pair up with one of the neighboring restaurants to offer at least some appetizers. They have a fridge with some grab and go prepacked cheese and meats. They’ll give you a cheese board to lay your items out and some plates. So that was nice. Service was good. They appeared a bit short staffed the evening we were there….but hey. It’s wine tasting. Who’s in a hurry anyway! 😉

    We were really pleased with our experience at McClain. We had visited the Solvang tasting room previously, but this was our first visit to McClain in Laguna. Our server, Chelsea, was super friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. The atmosphere is relaxed and very inviting. The wines are excellent. We chatted with the owner, Jason, for a few minutes before we left and enjoyed his energy and enthusiasm. We're happy that this fun wine experience is just down the road from where we live and we will definitely visit again.

    McClain Cellars - Laguna BeachGereageerd op 3 januari 2022Patty and Tim, thank you so much for taking the time to come visit us in both Solvang AND Laguna Beach! We're so happy that you've enjoyed your time spent with us and we can't wait to have you back!
