Best place for low key non stuffy wine tasting. This location carriers a wide variety of interesting and delicious wines. The wine club is very affordable and gives you 1 free wine tasting a month as a member.Highly recommended stopping here for a glass or a flight of wine!

Love my local watering hole. Come for chill vibes, juicy wines, friendly staff, and funky cheese.

Fun lively crew who are just passionate about wine. I love learning about the different wines, and the special tastings they have every weekend are great. Love this neighborhood spot!

Bay Grape has a great atmosphere, beautiful bar/seating area, and unique selection. The team is knowledgeable and very willing to talk about wine, teach, and help folks select wines. I love coming for a glass or tasting, in addition to picking up a bottle at the shop. I recently gathered friends for a private blind tasting class at the Oakland location, too, and am so grateful to Josiah for facilitating a friendly, approachable class. We had wine enthusiasts and total beginners, all of whom learned a ton and discovered new wines to explore. I recommend Bay Grape to everyone, hope that other friends will consider classes here, and hope to bring my team from work for a similar experience. Such a fantastic place for the Oakland community!

So the service here is the best. The nicest people. So knowledgeable about wine. My cousin and I just wanted to go and sip and talk and our experience here made a really good memory for us. We had the wine flight and tried wines we would have never considered. We got some salami and cheese and crackers and did a little pairing. It was fun. Then we got a bottle to share from Lebanon. Our wine-tender told us about the uniqueness of Lebanese wines. It was good. Really good. There are lots of wines for sale and they have beer too. You know you're having a great time when you forget to take photos. So I'm just gonna have to go back. And I can't wait! Keep in mind it seems to be a popular spot and getting seating my be a bit tricky. I highly recommend. Enjoy!

Why is there pressure at check out to tip when I walk in and choose my own bottle to go? NONE of the original staff ever did that, the tip screen is for service, when sitting at the wine bar, and getting that kind of treatment. The tip screen was never shown to the customer who used to walk in, choose their own bottle, and go. Would you like that tip screen pointing at your face at the gas station? How about the corner store? It's rude.

Fizzy Fridays! This has become my favorite place start my Friday nights out in Oakland. Everyone is super helpful, the atmosphere is chill and there is a massive list to choose from. They have tastings that are often changing. I think the cheapest is $15-22. The sparkling wines/champagnes changes weekly. So there's a chance to try all kinds of great ones. They also have snacks and things that you can make a little charcuterie with. A little date idea: wines, cheese, picnic blanket and walk o we to the park. Lovely times.

Their wine and beer selection is fantastic. The people who work there are always super nice and helpful. They also have a cute parklet if you can't walk the extra block to the lake. :)
