Carruth Cellars Urban Winery & Tasting Room - Solana Beach, California

MCK

What a way to end a perfect hike in Solana Beach, sitting outside, sipping our flights of wine and enjoying our prepackaged charcuterie at Carruth Cellars. We were a party of 4 on a Monday. We arrived right at 1:00 PM when they opened. The winery is fairly big, it has indoor and patio seating. The young lady that was manning the counters and the pours was very helpful and very nice.

We each ordered the $25 "Let it Flow" wine flights, plus a few prepackaged meats, cheeses, nuts and a baguette. We were able to sit and relax for as long as we wanted. The timing and day was perfect, not busy at all. I would definitely be back when in the area.

Atmosphere: a relaxing vibe with both indoor and patio seating. Service: excellent. Wine tasting and Snack: very good.

I can’t rave enough about Carruth Cellars and the incredible experience they gave us. My husband and I held our rehearsal dinner there on July 12th, and from start to finish, it was exceptional. As a bride who was stressed out and frazzled, I mixed up the dates in our contract and accidentally booked for the wrong day. When we showed up in a panic, the team at Carruth Cellars didn’t miss a beat.

They went out of their way to accommodate us, transforming the space and clearing it out in just one hour. I was floored by their efficiency and grace under pressure. Nick immediately jumped in to help rearrange the tables and clear the area, and Hayley, the event manager, arrived swiftly to make sure everything was in place. Throughout the chaos, their kindness and professionalism were a true comfort to me and my family.

Carruth Cellars is already a beautiful venue, but it’s the warm, supportive staff that makes it truly special. Whether you're planning an event or just stopping by for a great glass of wine, Carruth Cellars is a place you’ll want to visit.

And if you’re wondering what to try, our personal favorites—and those of our guests—were the Rosé and Sangiovese. They were simply delightful!

A really nice spacious spot for a glass of wine. There is a lot of inside and outside seating. I enjoyed a glass of the pinot noir and the zinfandel. They also offer wine fights for tasting. *they have happy hour on select wines until 5pm M-TH*

A great neighborhood urban winery with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and good music. Dogs and children are welcome and clean environment with decent priced wines that are good. Games and puzzles to enjoy while you drink.

A+ / Good people here / Wine is ok, but the atmosphere is everything. The folks that work here, the atmosphere are what makes this place great, I'll be honest the wine isn't like in Tuscany.

Carruth's is a wonderful space to enjoy a glass or a flight of fine wine served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

This venue is more of a tavern that serves wine, a little rough around the edges. Kids serving don’t know anything about the wine and are drinking it too! One was very buzzed by end of evening. I’ve been to a lot of classy establishments and this is not one of them. The wine itself is higher in alcohol than typical and tastes like sugar was added (yes this actually happens with some wine). Again, I’m a savvy wine drinker, I recommend skipping this place and going to Soltera or any nice restaurant for good wine and real food (Carruth only has prepacked snacks).
