There are four different wine tasting rooms to enjoy in Sausalito, all within three or four blocks of the Ferry pier. Each has its own style and personality, and we recommend you vsist more than one before deciding where to try a flight since they're all so close together.
As much as I enjoy going up to the Wine Country, it's not something you do on a Saturday afternoon just because you're suddenly in the mood. For visitors on the Ferry who don't have time to go up to Napa and Sonoma (or locals like us who decide at 3:00 PM it would be fun), these places offer a great chance to experience California wine culture.
Three of the tasting rooms are focused on daytime visitors, and one caters more to the evening crowd. Wellington's opens its doors later and stays open later than the other three wine tasting places, so if you're here in late morning or early afternoon they won't be available. If you're here at night Wellington's will be the only one of the four that remains open. They're also the only shop on this list that serves actual meals.
