Wonderful experience. Wines worth the trip, and exceptional views add to the experience. Our greeter and server were both inviting, accommodating and knowledgeable. The wines are flavorful, true to varietal characteristics, and include unusual ones including CA Chenin Blanc (rare to find in the Bay Area). We will be back!

We got a little confused getting here. Just make sure to drive all the way down and there's a gate you go through where you can park. The view of the city is great if you're outdoors. We tried the 3 flights of wine and all of them were pretty good. Unfortunately, the bees kept coming to us and our wines despite moving to 3 different tables. One of them even fell into my cup of wine! Pam was kind enough to give me a new glass of wine. Scott was very nice and brought water bowls with treats for our dogs. This is a great spot to check out in Alameda. Wines, service and view were great and it's even better that it's dog friendly.

Out fishing with the family and decided to walk over. It was Saturday 5:30pm and sign showed that it closes 6:30pm but as we were entering, servers appeared to be cleaning up. It turns out the shop next door was closing but Dashe was still open for tasting, though no longer offering food. Pam welcomed us and invited us to have a seat on the patio. We enjoyed a flight of white wines and a glass of red, while admiring the SF skyline. All very good! What a hidden gem! We would definitely come back!

This place is great for a date night or to just hangout with friends. Service is solid. The wines are good (IMO) and the views are amazing! The outdoor setup and scenery are the main draws of this place for me, but that bay area weather can sometimes make it less enjoyable, especially once the sun starts to set and the wind-chill kicks up. The only reason I'm holding it at four stars is because they don't have a consistent food menu to pair with the wines. They have pop-up food trucks that can vary. It can make it tough for folks with allergies or dietary restrictions depending on who's there on the day you go. Ambiance: 5/5 Food: N/A Drinks: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4.3/5

Excellent! Scott took such great care of me and ensured I had a memorable experience! The wines were superb and the location is unique, too, right next to the Naval Yard where the USS Hornet is located. Their style of Zins is brighter and crisper than their Lodi counterparts so if you’re a steak/stew person and want to venture outside of Bordeaux blends/varietals, give Dashe a try!
