Small but genuine and friendly. This is a cozy and quiet place to enjoy a really wide variety of wines. Either sip or buy exotic wines to go. We also tried their charcuterie board and was yummy paired with their wine of the week (a cabernet from Napa Valley)
I have wonderful memories of this place. It has a very nice atmosphere, and it definitely has an element of hidden-gem comfort. Occasionally, it gets quite lively, too, which is also nice!
In the interests of full disclosure I should note that a friend of mine owns this place. Partially because of that I have seen how hard he has worked over the years to make this a welcoming place for everyone. Great spot for snobs and noobs alike. Very reasonable club prices if that's your thing, and a trustworthy owner who knows how to get you the best bottle in whatever price range you want to pay.
Heidi and Bob are very knowledgeable and welcoming at the same time as not being overly so. Sometimes I just like to go and sip a little wine solo and there is always a friendly smile and an opportunity for conversation but never intrusive when my mood is quiet. Good wines and good values as well as a lot of friendly members!
Sean at Salt Creek was awesome! They arranged a christmas gift basket for me and took care of everything from start to finish including delivery which was great because I live far away from them. Happy to support local businesses like this one that really care about the customer! Thanks again Salt Creek Wine!!
Amazing new owner Sean has transformed the place into a friendly, classy place that is just what we needed in our neighborhood. Just opened a beer tap with some amazing Bear Republic beers in addition to the fine wine selection. Definitely work checking out, especially if you like to breath air; which is everyone.
This place is an awesome treasure tucked into Laguna Niguel! We love the wines that they choose, the prices are extremely fair, and the place is just a ton of fun to hang out in. Sean (the owner) does a great job of making everyone feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
There always seems to be something going on - a special wine/food pairing night, ornament painting, Karoake - and we're always checking their schedule for upcoming events.
We joined their monthly wine club, and we haven't had a 'dud' yet. Love that it exposes us to new wines that are actually affordable as well, and it's fun to swing by once a month to pick up the next shipment.
This year we held our company Christmas Party at Salt Creek Wine Company as well, and that was also an amazing experience. They created a customized wine list for us, did a tasting, and then we ordered wine to accompany dinner.
There are also some great craft beers if you're not in the mood for wine, and really love the vibe of the place. A regular hangout for us!
