Press Club, an urban wine tasting room, is a unique wine tasting and retail experience offering the intimacy, the knowledge and the award-winning wines of eight prestigious Northern California vineyards in one luxurious wine tasting cellar near the Seasons Hotel. This San Francisco wine bar, located near Union Square and Moscone Convention Center, offers the best wine tasting in San Francisco. Not only can wines be bought and shipped, but Press Club is also the perfect place for wine tasting events, corporate events, private parties, wedding receptions and more. Visitors can socialize, taste wine and enjoy light bites in the lounge areas, or be served directly by the vintners at each of the eight winery-exclusive tasting bars. Press Club is a friendly, social and informative wine tasting experience that is open to the public and caters to wine enthusiasts and tasting novices alike.

There are plenty of wine bars in the city, but never before have oenophiles been able to experience Napa-style wine tastings one short, tie-loosening walk away from work. Eight California wineries--from one of the oldest (Chateau Montelena, subject of the film Bottle Shock) to some of today's most popular (Saintsbury, whose tasting counter seems to always bustle with sport coats and dresses)--each host their own bar within this high-gloss, soft light and dark wood underground wine shrine on the posh Yerba Buena Lane promenade. While each winery has a five-year lease on space at Press Club, their lists of featured bottles changes often, and with a monthly rotating menu of cheese, fruit, and seafood bites along with a comfortable lounge, communal bar, and private dining room, this swanky spot allows you to get wined and unwind like a Wine Country retreat in the beating heart of the city.

Key Points

Wine tasting from 8 vineyards
Buy and ship Napa Valley wines
Unique private events setting

The Inside Scoop

When to Go - Press Club opens at 11am everyday---though don't expect to catch a buzz until 2pm Sunday through Thursday. The first three hours (Fridays and Saturdays excepted) are for retail customers only.
Fun Fact - The large photographic prints on the walls are all close-ups of the featured wineries' vineyards.
Save Money - If you belong to clubs for any of the participating wineries, your discount privileges will also be valid for any of their wines that you buy here.
The Extras - A large private dining room seats up to 20 guests and can be booked for private functions with a full catering option if required.
Parking - Head a block south to 5th and Mission Streets to a city-owned parking garage that runs about $3 per hour.

Perfect date spot

by CSMobileUser 5 Press Club

Once you step in and see the decor, you know you're in for a treat. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. But the ambiance of this place is second to none. This is the most Unique winebar I've ever been to. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the most visually stunning and best reviewed wine bar in America.

If you are really looking to taste a fantastic selection of wines in the city, this is the place. Super cool loungie feel while you sip to your heart's delight. Great service, great small bites, awesome wine. Go there.

Pros: Amazing selection of wines and fantasic lounge feel

Cons: Hard to find the first time - check the map on their website

Only for wine tasting -- not a place to enjoy a drink

by 23go 1 Press Club

This is great place if you want to spend $10 to "taste" 1 wine -- that's 3 small sips of wine. At least when you go to Napa you get more value. Would have loved to have been able to order a glass of wine but that isn't an option.

Just wait... Press Club is worth it!

by rockngal 5 Press Club

This place will knock your socks off! Its absolutly beautiful and unique! A wine lovers dream. Tired of making trips to Wine Country to discover good wines? Every now and again, its worth the drive for the senery, but those who don't have wheels, or don't want to spend $$ on gas, Press Club is for you! More to come when it becomes open to the public (should be soon). I was fortunate to attend a private event there and got a super sneak peek of what's to come... Im welcoming Press Club to San Francisco with open arms...
