1340 5th St · West Berkeley · Natural wine made in Berkeley since 2004

Wine is conversation and connection.

We make natural wine in this building, and we open the doors so people can drink it together: at the bar, at a talk, at a long table. Check out our upcoming events and join us for fresh, clean, locally made wine.

Winemaker Michael McCullough pouring a glass

One of America’s first natural wineries

Organic grapes. Occasionally a dusting of sulfur at bottling. We’ve made wine this way in Berkeley since 2004, from small local vineyards. 2025 is Michael McCullough’s first vintage as our winemaker and he’s doing something special. Come down and taste wine with the people who made it.

Bar open Thu–Fri 5–9 PM · Sat–Sun 2–7 PM · guided tastings by appointment
