The editorial take
Turks Head Wines runs a serious wine program centered on its own North Coast California production, with three tasting flights, a deep by-the-glass list, and a wine club. Private tastings and classes add structure, while local craft beer and non-alcoholic options round out the lounge. Award-winning bottles from the 2026 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition anchor the list.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Award-Winning Gold Flight ($50) to sample the medal winners, or the Red Flight ($40) for a broader look. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Moon Mountain is a standout by the glass ($29 for 5 oz) or bottle ($110).
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts seeking a producer-driven tasting room with educational components, and casual drinkers who want approachable flights. The non-alcoholic wine and beer options also make it welcoming for designated drivers.
- When should I go?
- Evenings are ideal for the lounge experience, but wine classes and private tastings in The Blue Room or Barrel Room suggest booking ahead for a more structured visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Flights range from $35 to $50. By-the-glass wines run $12–$29, bottles from $49 to $110, with bottle-to-go prices lower. Beer and non-alcoholic drinks are $7–$9, and non-alcoholic wine is $42 per bottle.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The venue is both a tasting room and a wine lounge for its own label, with winemaker Blair Guthrie overseeing a hands-on process. The three-tier flight system, private tasting rooms, and wine club with a CRU Club private lounge add layers beyond a typical wine bar.
