I have been a Fedora member of Gianni Buonomo Vintners since late 2015, and have always enjoyed walking in for a glass of wine locally, in my OB community. Al and Mark, along with the winemaker/owner Keith, are consummate hosts and always make us feel at home. I look forward to my thrice yearly wine allocation and am happy to stop by a couple times a month to check in on the happenings. I also appreciate how dog friendly this establishment is, as there are many doggy regulars, that I am more than happy to pet.

The wine is outstanding. The people are even better. Walking into the tasting room is like being welcomed into an old friend’s house.

Better than Napa or Temecula and located right in the heart of Ocean Beach. This quiet quaint little bar offers a wonderful selection of whites and reds with courteous and knowledgeable staff members who can help you pick a great wine/s for you. The prices are very reasonable for how exquisite the wines are (~$13/glass, $45/bottle) with discounts if you join their wine club (Fedora member). We visit here frequently and it is the best local winery.

Really nice place to unwind and have a glass of homemade wine. Tasty.
Jeff Welch
Very nice place with a lot of charm! The sommelier was very helpful and had an intensive knowledge of the wines. I’m always interested in learning more about wine varieties and I wasn’t let down here. I appreciated their variety of unique wines and the fact that every wine was enjoyable - a rare luxury for me.

This is a great find! We did a tasting here and all enjoyed it. Nice wine, pleasant atmosphere, friendly and informed staff. Katie was very kind and helpful. The reds are made by the winery and we liked them all!
Vanessa Weber

Karen Tarlton

One of our favorite date spots in OB. Been a member for about 5 months now and have loved every box. The wine speaks for itself as far as quality goes. We live in OB and only make it in about once a month but somehow Al and his team remember our names every time. The events that they throw have been our favorite part.

Super nice, welcoming people. Quirky place with really good wine. If you wear a fedora on Friday, you get a $5 glass of wine. They're great.
Be very careful giving these guys your credit card, they will make unauthorized charges and not refund your money. when you call to complain they spew profanity at you.BEWARE!

Outstanding urban winery with several non-standards varietals, the blaufränkisch itself is worth a visit! Highly recommend joining the wine club and becoming part of the family. Al and Keith will make you feel right at home.

One of the best wines makers in Southern California. The location is perfect as well. The heart of OB. It's always my first stop when I arrive at SAN. Gianni Buonomo, then hotel check-in.

This is what a business should be doing everything right, inviting atmosphere , that makes the wine right here they get the grapes out of Washington, intelligent employees giving intelligent information to the patrons, a very enjoyable experience unlike many many ocean beach businesses.... Delicious Red wine, Friday nights they have fun specials..... Unique hats adorned the walls.... No food served but they welcome you to bring your own food inside and enjoy your wine with your food that you bring .?

Fun place with different varieties of wine. They even make their own red wine on site and thanks to Jessica we got a little tour of their facility. Totally recommend it for casual meeting with friends, family or for a date :-)
