What are the best restaurant wine lists in La Jolla?
Marisi
La Jolla · La Jolla · Italian
Marisi is the kind of Italian spot where the wine list actually matches the ambition of the kitchen — it's not perfect, but the Italian depth is real and the big names are earned, not just decorative. If you're eating scratch pasta in La Jolla and care about what's in your glass, this is where you want to be.

Eddie V's Prime Seafood
La Jolla · La Jolla · Seafood
Eddie V's is the wine list equivalent of a dependable luxury sedan — comfortable, competent, and not cheap. If you want California wine done reliably in a stunning La Jolla setting, it delivers; if you want to discover something new, you'll need to look elsewhere.

A.R. Valentien
La Jolla · La Jolla · Farm to Table, Regional
A.R. Valentien earns its Wine Spectator credential without drama — the California list is deep, the sommelier is the real deal, and the setting alone makes it worth the drive up Torrey Pines Road. Just go in knowing you'll pay resort prices and that the world beyond California largely doesn't exist here.

The Marine Room
La Jolla · La Jolla · American
The Marine Room earned its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence honestly — deep California and French list, a real sommelier team, and a Wednesday half-price program that makes the steep markups survivable. The pricing will sting if you're not careful, but with a view like this and bottles like these, a guided splurge is absolutely worth it.

Nine-Ten
La Jolla · La Jolla · Californian, Farm to Table
Nine-Ten has the credentials — Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence since 2021 — and the list to back them up. Pricing runs steep as expected for La Jolla, but the depth and quality of producers on offer make this worth the spend if you're willing to look past the obvious bottles.
