When Marlowe Joseph Huber decided to start his own winery from scratch after successfully purchasing and running two existing ones, he knew he had a challenge ahead of him. His Laguna Canyon Winery, opened in 2003, shows that he has met the challenge excellently. Located in an industrial park outside Laguna Beach, the winery produces spectacular, award-winning whites, reds, and sparkling wines. They host an excellent wine tasting on the first Friday of every month that offers wine, food, and a souvenir glass etched with the winery’s logo for just $35. If you’re looking for a bigger experience, the winery hosts private parties and catered affairs with live music available. They also have a tasting room in downtown Laguna Beach. The ambience isn’t much—with no vineyard (the winery buys their grapes from a variety of sources), the vibe is more science than scenic, but the quality of the product more than makes up for it.
