Urban Legend Cellars: Crafting Artisan Wines with Passion and Precision
Urban Legend Cellars is a boutique winery located in Alameda, California. Founded in 2008 by Steve and Marilee Shaffer, Urban Legend is dedicated to producing high-quality artisan wines that showcase the unique terroir of California's wine country. With a focus on Italian and Iberian varietals, Urban Legend offers a diverse range of wines that are sure to please even the most discerning palate.
At Urban Legend Cellars, we believe that great wine starts with great grapes. That's why we work closely with our growers to ensure that only the finest fruit makes it into our wines. We source our grapes from some of the best vineyards in California, including Lodi, Amador County, Mendocino County, and Sonoma County. By carefully selecting our fruit based on its quality and character, we're able to create wines that truly reflect the essence of their origin.
One of the things that sets Urban Legend apart from other wineries is our commitment to experimentation. While we specialize in Italian and Iberian varietals like Barbera, Sangiovese, Teroldego, Vermentino, Tempranillo and more; we also love exploring new grape varieties as well as different winemaking techniques. This allows us to create truly unique wines that are unlike anything else you'll find on the market.
Our tasting room is located in Alameda's historic former airplane hangar building at 2001 Monarch Street (at Alameda Point). Here you can sample some of our award-winning wines while enjoying stunning views of San Francisco Bay. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you through each wine's flavor profile so you can fully appreciate all its nuances.
In addition to offering tastings at our tasting room location (open Friday-Sunday), Urban Legend also hosts private events such as weddings or corporate events. Our beautiful outdoor patio and indoor tasting room can accommodate up to 100 guests, making it the perfect venue for any occasion.
At Urban Legend Cellars, we're passionate about crafting artisan wines that are both delicious and unique. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of wine, we invite you to come visit us and experience the magic of Urban Legend for yourself.
