After developing this concept in a space in Scotts Valley, Saison Hospitality co-founder and Saison Winery winemaker Mark Bright debuted the flagship location of Saison Cellar & Wine Bar in San Francisco in 2024.

Saison Cellar & Wine Bar San Francisco invites wine lovers, collectors, and anyone thirsty to use the space as an extension of their own home and cellars, and is made up of two distinct spaces.

The Wine Bars serves up a very personal list curated by Mark Bright and our team of Sommeliers, complemented by French wine bar fare. The vast wine collection – available by the glass, flight, or bottle – leans heavily into France while highlighting extraordinary global producers and our neighbors in Northern California. We showcase benchmark as well as niche labels, with deep verticals and highly allocated bottles. “These are wines that inspire the wines I make,” says Bright. Our food menu is designed for groups large and small to snack and savor, from traditional Croque Monsieurs or Pâté en Croûte, to our Signature Caviar Service and robust Charcuterie and Cheese program featuring imports and local artisans. The richly textured, classic “Saison blue” space offers banquettes, booths, and bar seating. We host winemaker events regularly.

The Cellar, just two doors down, is a private members club and discreet atmosphere for hosting and tasting. Various membership types offer climate-controlled luxury personal wine storage and generous dining credits.
