A Hidden Vine On The Lake

Definitely one of the hidden gems in Orange County. Amazing services, good food with gluten-free options. Wine selection is delicious. Appropriate price for casting. All right.

One of Mission Viejo's hidden treasures. The terrace provides a wonderful setting for any occasion, and the wine selection is consistently outstanding. I'm especially excited that they now have their own label!

The atmosphere here is fantastic! The flatbread was delicious, and the wine was, of course, exquisite. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon.

I had a wonderful evening at A Hidden Vine! The location by the lake is perfect for a relaxing evening filled with wine and appetizers. This charming wine bar and shop offers an impressive selection of high-quality wines at surprisingly reasonable prices. We chose a bottle of Vineyard 29 Cru, one of our favorites, and paired it with the sweet Brie Flatbread and a charcuterie board. We took our wine out to the terrace and enjoyed the beautiful lake views. Everything was just right, and the hospitality was exceptional. The staff assisted us at the order desk, and when our dishes arrived, they provided a detailed explanation of each item on the board. To end the night, we indulged in a fantastic affogato. A Hidden Vine is a bit of a drive from North Orange County, but it's definitely worth it. We'll be back whenever we can! #supportlocal #highlyrecommended

I actually found this place on Yelp a while back, but never seemed to get the opportunity to try the place out, till recently when we had overseas guests in town, and they love their wine. As for me, I'm not much of wine drinker, but I love a good cheese platter with crackers, home-made olives, and flat bread made fresh and hot.....just as well as I was the designated driver : This place is not big, but offers some tables inside and outside on the covered patio overlooking Lake Mission Viejo......awesome view, especially at sunset and sun down. We managed to get a great spot on the patio with great water and waterfront home views.Basically, you either buy a full bottle of wine or buy a pre-paid card (that you can top up anytime you run low , stick your card in the machine and go through the wine dispensing machine for sample, half, or full glass portions of their various featured red or white wines. If you like any of the 20 some featured wines, then you can go ahead and buy a bottle....if I remember correctly, there is some kind of $10 bottle charge, unless you subscribe to the quarterly wine commitment, then this charge is waived with an additional 10% off, or something like that.Anyway, my wife and our guests went ahead and had a blast tasting all their feature wines.....and judging by the way they had to keep going inside to the counter to top-up their card several times during this sitting, they were enjoying every single glass!As for bites to go along with the wine, there is a deli style counter inside where you can place your order for some finger foods.....we went ahead and ordered a 4 cheese platter which came with crackers, some mixed nuts, added a side of home-made olives, and the Fig Olive and Chicken Pesto Flatbreads.....made fresh, and came out hot and delicious!To enjoy the wine and small bites, we had an awesome view of the lake...on a rainy day, enjoyed the sunset, and then shimmering lights on the water coming from the homes surrounding the lake.....wooooow, what an experience this was. Great place to some to to relax, unwind, and just enjoy a good glass or two of wine in a lovely, peaceful, and serene setting...by yourself or with your friends. Service was so nice, friendly, helpful. Needless to say, we all had a great time trying this place out and will most definitely be back again to this hidden gem.
