Founded by Seth Cripe (former Caymus Vineyards), LOLA Wine is a boutique winery that specializes in handcrafted, esoteric varietals like Chenin Blanc, Muscat, and Riesling in crisp and dry styles. Housed in a charming 1892 building with old-world European character, the LOLA House features lush garden patios with a beautiful Japanese maple, a cozy fireplace, and original art throughout. Open daily, reservations are required for this small-batch winery experience.

Why we like it:

LOLA offers an intimate, authentic family experience, all at fair prices for boutique quality. The $35-per-person outdoor tasting showcases their crisp, dry whites alongside excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Highly suggest adding a rare bottarga—caviar made from salt-cured and dried grey mullet roe—pairing for a truly unique experience. This place is perfect for wine enthusiasts, couples, and intimate groups who appreciate handcrafted and natural wines.
