McClain Cellars, Laguna Beach CA

Good wines and nice outdoor atmosphere. Try the popcorn sampler, but not with the wine. The popcorn is to die for but it does not pair well with the wine.

We happened to stop by while touring the area. Taylor was amazing and a wealth of knowledge. Loved the wine and really loved the Art. Great truffle popcorn as well.

Amazing, my girlfriend and I are members and recieve free tastings once a month as well as wine pick ups. I've met Jason McClain solid guy amazing wine a must if your a wine drinker.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place and everything it stands for. You can't go wrong with any of the wines. Hardest part is deciding which ones to take home! Staff is the best as well. Taylor and April are top notch as always. I'm sure everyone is expediently wonderful. These are the individuals I always see on my days in. Definitely give a try.you'll end up a member! TRUST ME!?

Great wine. We have have been here 4 years in a row. We always come as a group in the wine industry. Standard for wine industry discounts is complementary tastings and 30% bottle discount. We were surprised this year. 10% discount on tasting and bottle discount. Obviously hurting or just greedy. A slap to all wine industry professionals. Highly disappointing. Was hoping to purchase at least a case of the wine. No purchase today.

Delightful place to visit! Taylor was very knowledgeable and personable. She made our afternoon!

Jamie is so sweet do well educated on wine as well my husband is not a wine drinker and Jamie did an excellent job absolutely amazing shew is so sweet and kind best service ever definitely recommend and ask for Jamie she is the number 1 employee brings down the house A1 sauce

Love the wine and the service has been great. Shane really took care of me and my mom when we had a mini mother-daughter day. There's currently a lot of outdoor seating under a covering. The popcorn was great there, some cheese and chocolate for sale too. Only thing I could have wished for was a full kitchen but there are next door restaurants there if you want a meal.

My bestie and I had an amazing time. Shane was so knowledgeable about the different options and very sociable. He made our day and we bought three bottles not just because they were amazing but because we wanted to support what seems to be a great business.

Great experience went here on a Sunday afternoon to meet someone had never been and will sure be back not too crowded but a good amount of people great service decent wine and prices for the area loved the live music and atmosphere will bring my dog next time!

Amazing Service with amazing wine ambassadors. We came in early on Friday on a whim and it was the highlight of our day in Laguna! Jamie was excellent and the wines far exceeded my expectations! We will be back soon for more wine in the canyon!

We had the reserve tasting flight! We loved the Malbec and the Cab Sav were favorites. The Sangiovese was also delicious.

We enjoyed a really nice Saturday evening at McClain’s in Laguna Beach. The setting was fun, the live music was enjoyable but not overbearing, the wine was fabulous and the wine steward, Shane, was very knowledgeable and engaging. Why not 5 stars? A dinner time wine tasting needs some fresh food…add flat breads, some pasta or some heavy hors d’oeuvres and the ball goes out of the park!

Just wanted to pop in a say how much we enjoyed our time with Shane Smith. I really value someone being able to create a comfortable space. Shane was awesome. He was obviously super knowledgeable, but more importantly to me, he made us feel at home, comfortable and we were able to ask question, offer opinions, etc.

We also had our 1.5 year old with us and I know how much of a hassle/mess/extra burden that can be. He was super accommodating with her and that didn’t go unnoticed.

Cheers!

Excellent. Recommend.

Port wine was excellent.

Service was on point.

Loved it.

Went in for a wine tasting, and really enjoyed myself. With the limitations Covid has imposed on dining and entertainment, I was very satisfied with the overall experience McClain's provided. The ambiance was very relaxing, hip, professional and fun. I intend to visit more often, and highly suggest you do to! I'm just hoping the musician playing will be able to perform " Tennessee Whiskey "

Cara was an incredible guide! We had a wonderful time full of fun conversations, and of course, an excellently curated selection of wine. Cara was an incredible host and very knowledgeable. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for the wonderful expience!

Enjoyed sitting outside with our wine tastings on a beautiful day. Great service. The owner was there interacting with all the patrons.

My husband and I went with the intension to pick up a bottle of wine for our anniversary dinner. We left with a bottle and with a memorable experience! Hands down one of the best wine experiences we've had our server Robert really knows his wine!

Amazing wine and great customer service! Lovely environment and will definitely be back. Took a bottle to go. So many great options here for wine lovers
