My husband and I came here to do some casual wine tasting, while getting a view of the Pacific, and we were so impressed! We tried a flight of 4 wines, 3 whites and 1 red. Then we had a glass of the Albarino, which was my personal favorite, while sitting at a table with an ocean view, and enjoying some garlic cheese & butter crackers. We hung out there for at least an hour or so, and it wasn't too busy for being a Friday. The bartenders were very knowledgeable, informative & friendly, and we had a great time. I would absolutely go back just to hang out there, especially on a hot day! There was plenty of outdoor seating for people, a good amount of indoor seating, with a nice bar area, and the best outdoor bathrooms I've ever been in. If you're looking into other places for wine tasting, don't bother, just hang out here!
Wine and music on the beach.. what more do you need? Tastings available at the bar, bottles available for purchase to enjoy in the garden. Live music on the weekends. Grab some take out (Reel Fish Inn for Seafood, or Thai food right next door) and enjoy with your wine! They have snacks for purchase (cheese, crackers, hummus, etc.) My favorite spot in Malibu!
The wines taste good. But the place and the outside garden is beautiful and good place to sit and hangout. You can see the beach from there. The staff is really friendly.
We went here on the way to a restaurant in Malibu and it was really interesting, we were a group of 7, and tasted several wines. They were really good wines and the staff were really knowledgable about their wines. Two of our group joined their club which meant all our tastings were free but we bought some wine to bring back to the UK.Really worth a visit.
Went recently for a Saturday. They have their own wines available at a moderate price. The location features outdoor seating as well as a small indoor seating area. They have live music outside which changes performers half way through the day. The first music group that day was pretty bad, featuring all of their original music. The second performer was much better- he mixed well known current music with some originals and was very good. They have catering trucks at the location if your hungry, and the prices are kind of high for what you get. Overall, I understand that is how the make their money and I accept it as a business. They charge $5.00 to park . They only have outhouse facilities but they were clean and well stocked. All things considered, it was a pretty good day. I will go back again.
Love coming here with my girlfriends. The prices are great and you have a beach front view with a grass garden surrounding. weekends you have live music. This is a great place to visit in malibu. Its affordable and you can bring in your own food or they have gourmet truck cooking along side. next door is a fish shack. across the street the beach. perfect place for a date or to go out with friends. sunset is best.
My wife and I had visited Rosenthal the year before with some friends and decided to return with some other friends visiting from Minnesota. This is not the winery, but the wine bar with a rear picnic area. The wine is decent but the location is right off the famous Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu across the street from the Pacific Ocean. There is nothing like drinking in the warm sun with the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves. The service is very good with friendly staff though the one male staffer was not that knowledgeable about his own wine. The staff was very attentive to bring out a wine chiller with ice and replace it when the ice melted. The nice thing about Rosenthal is that you can bring your own snacks and sit in the rear picnic area or sample the food trucks that are stationed there. Sometimes they will have music. The minor gripe is the $5 charge for parking in a dirt lot when you're purchasing bottles (plural) of wine - not a good business practice. I understand you do not want beachgoers parking there but you can have someone attending to that instead of charging patrons. Be aware that there is no bathroom but four outdoor upgraded port-a-potties. Also, Rosenthal will host special events and close off the rear picnic area, so call ahead on the day you plan to go and see if that is the case otherwise you will be relegated to the inside. Not that there is anything wrong with that but why be indoors when you are in Malibu?
Thanks for the great review. I hope to see you there.Cheers,Neil
The wines are great. Tasting and by the glass, but we come here for the beautiful outdoor seating out back and pair a glass with fun food truck fare.
