Welcome to our new Big Basin Vineyards Tasting Room & Wine Bar. We offer a variety of wines with three different tasting flights, wines by the glass, and by the bottle, plus local beers and non-alcoholic drink options, along with a food pairing menu offering an array of small plate options to satisfy various preferences. We have a variety of seating options including our signature redwood bar, couches, indoor tables, and outdoor fire pits and tables. A little about our winemaking & food offering: We farm organically and practice minimal intervention as a way to capture the exceptional nature of the ocean-influenced, mountain vineyards we work with.This same grape-to-glass mentality is something we wanted to mirror when creating a food menu to enjoy alongside our wines. Served in a tapas style, we have a variety of options to pair with our wines, from smoked trout salad, to the best cheese and charcuterie board in town, to our homemade empanadas and arancini.
