Instead of large tour buses, these wine havens attract a diverse set of locals, and their wines come at friendly price points. Best of all? There&#8217;s\u00a0no designated driver required.<\/p>\n<p>I recently joined Jon Zalon, owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/eastbaywinerybiketours.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East Bay Winery Bike Tours<\/a>, on a five-hour bike tour of the wineries in Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winery Warehouse<\/strong><br \/>\nThe tour began at 11:30 a.m. at Safe Keep Storage (655 3rd St.)\u00a0near Jack London Square.

It&#8217;s named for his grandfather, George &#8220;Baci&#8221; Cerruti, who immigrated from Genoa and (rumor has it) was a well-known &#8220;go-to guy&#8221; during Prohibition. How appropriate, then, that Tudal converted a 1920s cold storage warehouse (around the corner from the historic Oakland produce market where Grandpa Cerruti used to sell his harvests) into his tasting room.<\/p>\n<p>Like most of the boutique wineries in the area, Cerruti&#8217;s grapes come from vineyards in Saint Helena, Napa, and Sonoma, and the wine is then prepared, barreled, and aged locally. The result is an interesting mix of vibrant blends and subtle-yet-spicy varietals, which our\u00a0crew collectively sipped and savored.<\/p>\n<p>Wine in hand, we munched on complimentary tapas and explored the space, an urban paradise of corrugated steel and concrete, made rustic by the wine barrel slats lining the walls. In the back is a large event space where the winery\u00a0occasionally hosts jazz concerts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Urban escapes<\/strong><br \/>\nI sometimes forget how beautiful a city-scape can be. Oakland&#8217;s especially is often marred by freeways, abandoned buildings, and dirty alleyways, but riding a bike through West Oakland (sun on my back, wind in my hair&#8230;) I could freely drink in the city&#8217;s tenacious aesthetic.\u00a0We passed both artful graffiti and trendy restaurants before stopping to\u00a0picnic in Berkeley&#8217;s Aquatic Park.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright lazyload\" title=\"aquatic park\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/323301783_47b3290f5b_z.jpg\" alt=\"aquatic park\" width=\"301\" height=\"209\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright lazyload\" title=\"aquatic park\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/323301783_47b3290f5b_z.jpg\" alt=\"aquatic park\" width=\"301\" height=\"209\" \/><\/noscript>A Depression-era WPA wonderland, today&#8217;s Aquatic Park is a bit more controversial, blighted as it is by algae, noise and air pollution from the nearby highway, and sordid activities that are said to take place here. But its gritty edge, mixed with lagoon and Bay views, only enhanced our urban exploration. Zalon laid out a tablecloth, and in this unique setting we lunched on a spread of homemade broccoli and jicama slaw, focaccia bread, turkey-and-cheese sandwiches, and a big bag of cookies for dessert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting real<\/strong><br \/>\nLike Cerruti, although perhaps a little less trendy, our second winery of the afternoon, Berkeley&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanocellars.com\/\">Urbano Cellars<\/a>\u00a0(2323 B 4th St.)\u00a0is set inside a warehouse. When we arrived, a large bin full of fresh-off-the-truck grapes sat in the center of the room, while old rock-n-roll hits played on a radio somewhere upstairs, and co-owners Fred Dick and Bob Rawson held court behind a makeshift bar.<\/p>\n<p>In between pours (my favorite being the 2007 5 Barrels, a medium bodied red blend with hints of chocolate and cherries), the guys chatted about the wine business, expounding on grape preparation, wine aging, and the difficulties of choosing a catchy name for your label.<\/p>\n<p>Five delicious tastings later I was taking the last swig of the 4th Street Red, the winery&#8217;s California blend that is sold in refillable glass liter jars (a trend seen in many area wineries), before it was time to hit the pavement for a return ride to Oakland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One last sip<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/urban-legends.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6778 lazyload\" title=\"urban legends\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/urban-legends-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6778 lazyload\" title=\"urban legends\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/urban-legends-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/urban-legends-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/urban-legends-37x25.jpg 37w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/urban-legends.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>Our final stop was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulcellars.com\/\">Urban Legend Cellars<\/a>\u00a0(621 4th St., Oakland), a spot, neatly tucked away in a nondescript brick building near Jack London Square, popular both for its unassuming location and its creativity in\u00a0wine making\u2014I found myself surprised by the flavors that came out of each sip (my favorite being their bright 2010 Rosato di Barbara).\u00a0Even more appealing was Urban Legend&#8217;s genuine love for Oakland, evident on the labels, which feature iconic images of the city&#8217;s container cranes.<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our tasting complete, we hopped on our bikes to ride five minutes back to base camp, the sun casting long shadows on the empty streets.

She lived in Los Angeles for four years where she enjoyed running and lounging on the beach. She graduated in 2009 from Occidental College with two journalism internships under her belt, an English Literature degree, and a national economic crisis. Despite this, Alison has paid the bills working odd jobs and taking every chance she can to travel. So far, she has been to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Austria, Costa Rica, and Argentina. Alison recently moved to San Francisco from Denver, and is a freelance writer with a love of hiking, biking, caving and gold panning.
