wine Like many of the world’s great wines, our wine list is created to reflect a sense of place. Cavallo Point sits at the gateway to California’s venerable North Coast, home to some of the world’s most renowned wine-growing regions. Our list celebrates the history of wine in California, and presents a vision of where it is going. From the state’s legendary wineries that laid the foundation, and the cult wines driving the mystique, to the small production, artisanal producers who are pushing the envelope of quality, we strive to tell the true story of wine in California. While we are passionate about the wines made here by our friends and neighbors, we would be remiss to ignore the incredible wines produced around the globe. The centuries old wine-making traditions brought here from the old-world have been built upon to become the California wine culture that we enjoy today. We pay homage to those traditions through our extensive collection of the finest wines produced throughout the world. The Cavallo Point wine list is comprised of over 2,200 selections from 25 countries, with vintages dating back to 1922. Our Sommeliers are always happy to offer their guidance and recommendations. If you have a special bottle from your cellar you would like to enjoy while dining with us, our corkage fee is $30.00 per 750ml, and we will gladly waive one corkage fee for each equivalent bottle purchased from our list. We thank you for coming to Cavallo Point, and are happy you can spend some time with us at this very special place. Whether you are here for a few hours or a few days, we hope to make your time with us memorable and enjoyable.
