Yes, they charge for tastings but don't most places and besides they pour a lot for just a taste and they don't mind opening a new bottle for you to try. I really love this place .. the scenery is great and the staff has always been really nice.

I liked everything about it. We went to the downtown Lagi=uan Beach Location on Glenneyre near Mermaid & though it was a small shop, they made everyone feel welcome & it was almost like an intimate & cozy Cocktail Party with friends. Most of the Wines were very good (from Naopa & Sonoma & Central Coast) & some average, but... More

Well the wine certainly isn't Napa Cab, but they're very good and a great friendly staff caps off the experience! I love to find a good Malbec!

We visited the winery recently for a tasting. The wine was good but did not justify the high price. The pours were tiny. One can buy much better wine for $25 - $35 a bottle. The tasting room was nice with a beautiful bar but we won't be back. Enjoy Laguna's beaches, restaurants, shops, and bars and skip this place.

At most wineries, I end up only enjoying one, maybe two wines, if any... Here, my biggest problem was deciding which wines to buy! They were all good, many were superb! And the service and atmosphere are great :)

We initially went to the winery on Laguna Canyon Road but it was packed so we ended up going to the Tasting Room right... More

first time here was very nice place with excellant wines at moderate prices. the reds were especially good the cab and merlot bought several bottles and will be back. bonus was their agreement with many local restaurants for free corkage with their wines which we took advantage of

Took a lazy drive up Laguna Canyon Road and was treated to a very informative tasting by Marlowe, the owner and winemaker. We were looking for a memorable bottle of wine to enjoy a sunset. Marlowe led us through the tasting with suggestions and suggestions. We picked the 2008 Los Carneros Chardonnay, which was a perfect (and romantic) nightcap to... More

As to be expected with any winery that is not located within any reasonable distance from a wine growing region, the Laguna Canyon Winery is not much more than a tourist trap. It plays on California’s reputation for great wines by drawing in Laguna Beach visitors. They charge a $2 fee for each tasting, unless you buy a bottle, and... More
