A Bit of Wine Country in Your Backyard
You don’t have to travel far to experience a bit of wine country. Great wine, perfect pairings and good times are just around the corner in Rincon Hill and SoMa. Grab a glass, a flight or bottle and experience a bit of the wine country right in your backyard with these local tasting rooms, just minutes from our door at Jasper:
Bluxome Street Winery is located at 53 Bluxome Street and open Tuesday – Sunday 1pm to 8pm. Born out of the vision of a few like-minded friends and generous investors that enjoy making and drinking great wine, the folks at Bluxome aren’t just winemakers, they’re growers, too. Their Russian River vineyard, Balinard, is planted to three cool Pinot Noir clones and farmed 100% organically. Stop by the tasting room, grab a drink and enjoy some in house edibles. Just beyond the tasting room, expansive windows looking into the working winery allows you to enjoy wine by the glass, by the flight, or by the bottle while watching it crafted in front of you. You can also take a weekend tour and stroll through the busily harvesting winery and finish with a seated tasting of 5 wines paired with charcuterie. This working winery is a place to relax and enjoy a drink or two.
Local Kitchen & Wine Merchant is located at 330 1st St and open for lunch, dinner, and brunch on the weekends. Happy hour is Monday – Friday 4pm – 6pm. Local Kitchen & Wine Merchant brings urban rustic style to the Rincon Hill neighborhood. The menu features wood-fired pizzas, mouth-watering roasted chicken, delicious pastas, and scrumptious desserts. To quench your thirst they have a creative cocktail menu, beer taps featuring regional brews, and of course a carefully curated wine list showcasing the broad versatility of craft winemaking in California. Stop in, say hello, and stay for a while at this perfect little escape to the work week.
Jax Vineyards is located at 326 Brannan St. Want a private tasting? Enjoy the ultimate Napa Valley experience without the commute during an exclusive wine tasting at the newly renovated tasting room by appointment Monday-Sunday. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings they are open to the public for Happy Hour from 4pm – 8pm. Grab some friends and indulge in a flight, glass of wine or bottle paired with favorite local artisanal cheeses, around a sleek, sizzling fire-pit, complete with a transplanted 18 foot olive tree, creating the ultimate Napa Valley oasis.
Tank 18 is located at 1345 Howard Street and open Thursday – Sunday 4ish to 10ish. Wine. Food. Fun. These three simple words are the driving force of everything at Tank18. They scoured the wine country to find the best seasonal varietals and brought them to the city in nifty metal tanks. Main local sourcing comes from Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, and Santa Cruz. In the tasting room, you can sample a casual tasting flight of four wines, accompanied by a cheese sampler plate. You can purchase a glass or bottle of your favorite Tank18 wine to enjoy with various bites in the relaxing lounge area.
