About Broc Cellars
Broc is urban wine's West Coast standard-bearer: Chris Brockway's Berkeley winery, sourcing organically farmed vineyards across California including Sonoma sites, built a devoted following for native-ferment, lower-alcohol wines, Valdiguie a signature, poured in a warehouse tasting room. The natural-wine credibility and city accessibility make it a category unto itself. Terroir, delivered to the East Bay.
The tasting room address is 1300 5th St, Berkeley. Plan around the schedule: Daily 12pm-6pm. Walk-ins welcome. Tasting fees run from $15. Dogs are welcome and the setting comes with vineyard views. The surrounding Bay Area region is known for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, which shapes what most tasting rooms here pour. Hours and tasting formats change with the season, so a quick call to (510) 526-3300 before you go is worth the minute.
