Alfresco Tasting Terrace

Feet. Swollen. Mind. Fried. Kids. Screaming. Peace. Finally. Walk through the main entry of Disney’s California Adventure and turn right at the boardwalk, past the maitre’d station and up the stairs is a hidden gem overlooking Disney’s version of Cannery Row and the water features of California Adventure. With a small selection of seats accommodating the few childrenless adults who dared venture to the park with bar height tables and two more comfortable couch style tables, this is the zen you have been looking for. Offering two ounce pours of the available tasting flights and appetizers to kill your hunger pangs at a reasonable price point, this is an adults oasis from the craziness that is a theme park. While the sliders were a bit dry for my taste, they did not lack in flavor. A small array of beers are available in addition to the standard american crap beers (bud, coors, etc) that pose large flavors if wine is not your thing. The wine menu is vast and reasonably priced whether a bottle or a glass is in your desire for the time being. The last time I visited the park I used this oasis as a resting spot, a snack spot, and finally as a place to meet with other non-​childrened adult friends who were also in the park that day. A plethora of wait staff is available to ensure your glass is never empty, your table is never messed, and your questions never unanswered. Reasonable rates especially for a theme park and a must-​stop destination with quiet seating, a pleasant breeze, and a happy stomach with happier taste buds.

We ordered the Napa Valley trio. Good wine, but we liked the Frank Family Vineyards Chardonnay and the Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon. Keith said the Chardonnay was one of the best he has tasted.
Ordered the bruschetta, loved it but there is a lot of garlic in it. There were 5 big pieces. Ordered the meat and cheese plate, loved it. Ordered the flatbread, didn’t live the toppings.
View is beautiful

We enjoyed my birthday celebration at the terrace. The wine selction is nice and simple and the appetizers are wonderful.
Service was a little disappointing. We had to get up from our table to ask if we order at the bar and then were told our server would be with us. We waited about 10 minutes for a server only to be told the computers were down and our sever would be with us soon. Granted the system being down is not the servers fault but we would have appreciated being greeted and told of the issue sooner. (5 servers and a bar tender on staff at that time)
We ordered the Big Red and Pinot flights, bruschetta and cheese board.
Service was not up to Disney standards but the food was excellent.

Amazing food! Taste clean and fresh and super flavorful! Plus it’s a great escape from kids! (I love kids… but sometimes you just need a break, ya know?)
Also the waitress was super nice and knowledgable about wines and beers. Love this place! Thanks Cloronia, you made our experience magical!

A hidden gem inside Disney California Adventure. Featuring wines by the glass from wineries connected to the Disney family, like Kurt Russell and Fess Parker. Delicious small bite plates served on a balcony overlooking the vineyard, cars land and pacific warf. The filet sliders, frito misto and risoto bites are are great alternative to typical park food and paired with a nice wine or craft beer — theme park dining is rarely better than this. Hate to let others know about this seemingly little known spot. Ask for Zac he will take great care of you.
