What's It Like to Taste Wine at Rock Wall Winery in Alameda?

2014-12-18T21:00:00Z Edit this post
Taste wine at Rock Wall Winery. Spend an afternoon at Rock Wall Winery in Alameda, California. Visit an Alameda winery on your trip to the East Bay.
Alameda has a winery?  Who knew?!  Rock Wall Winery is housed in the remains of an old military installation at the far end of the island. 

It's a popular spot with local families because of ample play space outside.  I visited with my little niece and nephew durimg a recent visit to the San Francisco Bay Area.

SIDEWALK SAFARI SPOTLIGHT: Interested in going a little further afield and taking a wine tasting road trip? There is always a classic weekend in Napa and Calistoga to consider. Alternatively, drive down the California Coast to Monterey or get off the beaten track by driving from San Francisco to Lodi to taste some fabulous wines.

We saw down with a glass of wine (at least the adults did...the kids settled for water...).  Rock Wall Winery features a 'food truck' serving gourmet burgers and more.  Yum!

We enjoyed in-your-face views of San Francisco across an expanse of concrete with weeds poking through.

Apparently, this area is a nesting ground for the endangered Lesser Tern.  That explains why the winery hasn't expanded right onto the Bay.  Good on them for respecting this conservation effort.

We even had time for a tour of the winery which is always a treat.  The barrel room doubles as a function hall and the different racks of wine can be re-arranged to suit different event configurations.  Very cool.

SIDEWALK SAFARI SPOTLIGHT: What's the best way to get to Alameda from San Francisco? If the weather is nice, take the ferry to Alameda and enjoy some amazing views of the San Francisco skyline and Bay Bridge on the way.

SIDEWALK SAFARI SPOTLIGHT: Looking for other ideas for things to do in the San Francisco Bay Area? Here are some of my top suggestions:
Why not see multiple areas around San Francisco on a Bay Area birdwatching hike at various places in the South and East Bay? Another great option (if you are less outdoorsy) is to take yourself on a self-guided tour of the best margaritas in the San Francisco Bay Area.
