14 Best Wine Bars near Grover Beach

“Driving through town, we needed a bite and want to thank all you 5-star reviewers of Spoon Trade for steering us here because the food was fantastic! It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we got one of the last tables available. Super friendly service straight away and a great vibe all around. Very interesting menu! A diner for foodies. Wife had the vegetarian Tikka with a side sausage patty, which she loved, and my son had the Benedict, which of course I tasted via dad tax and it was rich and yummy. I was going to get the chicken and waffles, which looked delicious on other people's tables, but opted for the duck noodle soup, which was a tasty ramen. It was on the pricy side, but everything was such great quality, original recipes, and made to order. We look forward to visiting again!“

“My wife and I first found Monarch Grove on a trip to Pismo Beach searching for local wineries. We found their Groupon deal and paid a visit, which we were utterly charmed by. We love the proximity to the Amtrak station, the delicious, fruit-forward flavor of their wine, and how they are a small, local operation. We soon joined their membership club and ordered their wine all the way back to Los Angeles for our wedding, which our guests absolutely loved. We'd absolutely recommend Monarch Grove.“

“An absolutely wonderful wine tasting. They have a cute little tasting room to enjoy your wine. Loved all their wines they had to offer - the Syrah and the NV Eclipse were our favorites, and we took home a bottle of each. Evan was super friendly and knowledgeable during our tasting. They also offer a small food menu, and the Shuck Shack Oysters are the best delicious addition to your wine tastings. Overall, a very enjoyable time wine tasting. Highly recommend, and we are looking forward to coming back.“

“Lovely grounds, attentive staff and good wines. We joined the wine club and, a couple weeks later, received a personalized, hand-written note thanking us. Very classy! Over the last 35 years, we have joined many wine clubs but never received a thank you note!“

“We walked in when we were staying close by and saw they do a tasting that's $20 for six 1-oz pours. We had 2 whites and 4 reds from around the region and also farther north in Sonoma. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it's a nice low key environment with a bottle shop. They also have beers available.“

“Ordered local bottle of wine online to save on shipping costs. There were options for pick-up and I chose the nearest location in Pismo Beach. Great online service, nice local selections, and fair prices. Order was ready the following day. Thanks.“

“Located in the walkable Arroyo Grande village, this is really two excellent wineries in one place. Really great, friendly experience, with excellent wines. The new location is lovely, with indoor, patio, and outdoor seating, with tasteful decorations. We loved the Spanish-inspired wines of Verdad, but are also fans of the Lindquist brand. You can taste from a wide variety, including Albariño, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, Rose, Viognier, Mourvedre, Marsanne, GSM, Graciano, and Carignan, and the tasting menu changes every week or two. It lools like they allow food from the restaurant next door in the outdoor area, so I can see returning for a snack and enjoying a bottle at the same time.“

“This was my second visit. Today I tried the chilaquiles which is a new menu item. I normally like them in a red sauce but the green tomatillo sauce was fresh and delicious with just the right amount of spice. The potatoes were flavored deliciously and the staff is really nice.“

“Such a tiny place, but Charlie and Zoe do an awesome job! We have been there several times, most recently on New Year's Eve. The live music (The Cliffnotes) was great and the meal (braised short ribs, polenta, roasted veggies) was the best I have had in a long time.“

“The Pierfront Wine & Brew Bar is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Avila Beach! From the moment I stepped in, I was enchanted by the cozy ambiance and breathtaking view of the pier. But what truly stole the show was their impeccable wine selection - a connoisseur's dream come true! The variety was astounding, catering to every palate with finesse. The staff's knowledge and passion for wine were evident in every recommendation they made. Their personalized service elevated the entire experience, making me feel like a valued guest rather than just a customer. The attention to detail and genuine care in ensuring I found the perfect wine for my taste was unparalleled. Each glass was a delightful journey through flavors and aromas, complemented by the stunning sunset view. The staff's expertise in pairing wine with the delectable cheese and charcuterie boards added another layer of sophistication to the evening. Pierfront Wine Bar isn't just a place for wine enthusiasts; it's a haven for anyone seeking an exquisite experience. I can't recommend this place enough - it's a must-visit for anyone in search of top-notch wines and exceptional service in Avila Beach!“

“Had an awesome cocktail (Bees Knees) with their house made gin. The server also whipped up an excellent mocktail Piña Colada for my wife, who isn’t drinking and it was top notch. Paired with a spicy tinned sardine plate sitting in the sun on the patio and it was perfection.“

“First stop when we come through the Pismo area. Everything is delicious! My favorite thing is the octopus appetizer with a glass of wine. Seasoned to perfection. Service is fantastic as well. This would be my regular place if I was a local.“

“I had a great time at 15 degrees C in SLO. I met a friend there and we had a nice charcuterie board and some great sparking rose! The atmosphere is upscale but warm. They have many choices of wine available for taste and to buy by the bottle. I was shocked that we were the only ones there for 2 hours, I do realize it was a Thurs. at lunch time. I would love to return again in the evening, they have a cozy fireplace inside and some outdoor seating with fire pits as well.“

“We stopped by for such delicious lunch that we returned two nights later for dinner. Nate served us lunch and took his time to chat about the menu and made us feel so welcome. The food was fabulous and we ate outside viewing the ocean. Sierra served us dinner with an inviting smile and uncrushed service. The escargot was heavenly, as was the thick French onion soup. The Caesar salad and wild mushroom ravioli were exceptional. The chef came to visit us to make sure we were happy. Impeccable service and exquisite food.“
