We came for one tasting and ended up staying most of the afternoon. The patio was relaxed, the staff made us feel completely at home, and we’d absolutely come back.
The Experience
Guardian Cellars tells one of the most fascinating stories in the Warehouse District. Founded by Jerry Riener, a full-time police officer and former organic chemist, this highly decorated winery applies rigorous scientific precision to the art of blending. The result is a library of impeccably balanced, structurally perfect red and white wines with playful nods to law enforcement. The warehouse tasting room is incredibly warm, inviting, and community-driven.
