At Best Friends, we're fortunate enough to have Big West co-founder Emily Weber as one our colleagues and homies – and so we're hosting an all-Cali Big West preview night, on Wed, 5/27! (Winemakers TBA.) Join us here for a sneak peek, and then head to Guerneville the following weekend for the whole tamale!

We’ve all seen the drama unfold online, now let’s get together with fellow Summer House fans and pop open some bottles for what is sure to be an epic reunion! Doors open at 7, show starts at 8. Seats are first come first serve - Best Friends should be fun! Watching alone? NOT FUN!

Arsenal vs. Crystal palace watching party on Sunday 5/24. Coffee service by Quiet Earth and breakfast beers by us. Doors open at 7:30am and game starts at 8am!

In partnership with Momo's Flowers, BF is hosting a Flower Design Master Class with Momoko Campbell, one of the most talented flower designers in the state. (Rescheduled due to earlier No Kings Protest!) Bring your mom, bring your sister, bring your bestie… and come learn flower design from the Momo's Flowers team.The 1.5 - 2 hour master class is only $100 ($90 for club members)… and your basket of flowers is included! Begin reaching out to your most floral friends and fam (What's up again, Mom?) and stay tuned for deets! (Note: This is a 21+ event.)

In advance of the Berkeley-based festival of the white grape you have yet to figure out is your favorite, Best Friends is hosting a Hella Chenin sneak preview! Come meet some of the world's greatest Chenin whisperers, as South Africans and Californians face off in an all-out bottle battle! 

In partnership with Assemble Puzzlery ("The East Bay's Puzzling Community"), BF is hosting a Sunday Puzzle Session: think: casual drop-in puzzling tables! A puzzle swap! And a Speed Puzzling Tourney where pairs register and face off across multiple rounds. (All paired with coffee, wine, N/A beverages and more!) Begin reaching out to your prospective partner (What's up, Mom?) and stay tuned for deets! (Note: This is a 21+ event.)

This is one not to miss! The West Coast debut of never-before-seen-on-this-coast Ukrainian and Georgian wines! (Yes, many of the very same wines ballyhooed by the NY Times' Eric Asimov!) Eastern European comestibles by Ciocia Nina, the Bay Area's premiere pierogi popper-upper! And an anti-war benefit to boot!

The return of the East Bay's undisputed Boss of Bivalves means: Oysters! Crudos! Housemade Trout Dip & Foccacia! Ceviche Tostadas & Lobster Rolls! They will be joined by Farm Imports, serving a flight (almost a study, really) of Loire lasers from Pépière… arguably the most textbook mineral white known to humans!
