What’s better than a good glass of wine? A good glass of wine with a sea breeze. These eight wine bars and wineries combine bold pours with big views.
LessDeep Sea is basically a wine bar with a front-row ocean seat. Sitting right on Stearns Wharf, it serves up Conway Family Wines with unreal Pacific views, think crisp Sauvignon Blanc, rosé vibes, and bright Pinot Noir. Order a flight, bring a jacket, and don’t miss sunset.
Rustic, beachy, and very hard to leave. This cedar-shingled wine spot near the sand has a two-story deck with nonstop ocean views, fire pits for golden-hour hangs, and crowd-favorite pours like Pinot Noir, Syrah, and bubbly Blanc de Noir. Add truffle popcorn or DIY s’mores, and you’re set.
Wine tasting, but make it Maui. Sitting high on the slopes of Haleakalā, MauiWine pairs unreal island views with tropical pours like pineapple sparkling wine and estate Syrah. Sip from the lanai, spot Molokini on a clear day, and snack on brie with guava jam or jalapeño-pineapple kettle corn.
Cape Point Vineyards sits high above the Atlantic, pouring sea-breeze-crisp Sauvignon Blanc on a deck facing Chapman’s Peak and Noordhoek Beach below. Add sushi, oysters, or a picnic on the lawn, and plan to stay way longer than you meant to. It's coastal drama and spirits elevated.
Above Boomer Bay on Tasmania’s rugged coast, Bangor Vineyard Shed blends working farm vibes with a casual cellar door and ocean views. Expect cool-climate Chardonnay with crisp acidity, silky Pinot Noir, and local snacks like fresh oysters or seasonal small plates.
City Winery brings wine to the waterfront at Pier 57, with floor-to-ceiling Hudson River views and Little Island just outside the window. House-made wines pair easily with burrata, flatbreads, and truffle fries, while live music keeps things lively.
Alexander’s mixes polished wine-bar vibes with easy Lowcountry charm inside Palmetto Dunes. The lagoon-side setting is ideal for sunset glasses, whether you’re reaching for a bold Napa Cab or a coastal Oregon Pinot. Pair it with shrimp and grits, or time your visit for one of their monthly wine dinners.
The only tasting room in Fort Ross–Seaview AVA, this cliffside winery sits high above the Pacific with redwood decks and glass walls facing the waves. Expect estate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinotage paired with chef-driven bites like local crab or chanterelle tart. Come in March for the Pinot on the Ridge pizza party and wood-fired pies with reserve pours.
Right on the sand, Flagler Beachfront Winery keeps things casual and colorful with Atlantic views just steps away. Go for a wine slushie like the Flagler Twist or pour by the ounce from the Wall of Wine. Add a Florida-leaning charcuterie board and settle in.
