Magical. This place is simply stunning. The best wedding spot ever, on top of a mountain winery. Inspiring, beautiful, elegant. read more

My son recently got married there with his bride! Their experience was terrible! The frustration list was long. Other than the view with romantic ambience, everything else was a la cart. They had to rent EVERYTHING including kitchen equipments(supposedly there is no kitchen on premise) like stove, microwave etc. they were required to use their choice of vendors so they had no options to shop. Pricing was expensive. Food was good but the portion was small so our guests were left hungry. Food were brought out cold and slow. Half of the guest finished the food and the other half had not been served. They forgot to bring out bread for many tables. We paid a lot of money so we felt cheated. Customer service was bad. I could add more to this list. Having said that I don't recommended at all. read more

Although it may be a scenic view having a wedding here in the dead of summer it was a nightmare ! Recently attended a wedding here and there was absolutely No Coverage at all! It was so blistering hot most guests got up during the ceremony to try to find shade under a nearby tree. Imagine turning around at the end of the ceremony to find most of your guests gone due to scorching in the heat. Then the uncomfortable cocktail hour once again trying to find shade and constantly being ushered away from the shelter of the few trees because the staff have to set something up there! Not once ! But it seems every place to find shade was off limits! Dinner once again right in the heat uncovered again , even though I wore a wide brimmed hat ,it was just ridiculous to be in that heat for that long with no coverage. The staff were rude, the food was meager and the MC provided by the venue seemed like he was on something . All in all a very uncomfortable disappointing experience read more

Honestly this place is terrrrrible when it comes to communication. I had a reservation for my birthday in Nov and they never bothered to cancel or reach out during the pandemic to specific things would be canceled etc. beyond that upon my first REAL experience here this week in April the staff was very rude, the wine is sugary and overpriced, the venue is pretty for the gram but small compared to all other wineries in the 1 mile radius. All and all a very lackluster experience that I wouldn't reccomend. Oh and $12 parking on weekends just because they can read more

A bit late on writing a review but our group of four people had reservations for lunch here on June 20, 2020. It had been all of our first time here and we loved it! Due to COVID, they are only taking reservations and wine tasting is not available at the moment. You can order wine by the glass or bottle. We opt for wine and the pizzas! We loved the mushroom and truffle pizza. You can never go wrong with wine and pizza lol! For the most part, everyone was wearing a mask except when you are drinking or eating. All the employees had their masks on and there were people cleaning the table areas very frequently. Not only is the wine great here, the views and photo areas at this farm are so so beautiful! Definitely will be coming back here soon! read more

Mi wife, daughter and I recently visited on a Sunday afternoon. Was not sure what to expect but was immediately taken in by the lovely views. The amenities rocked, down to the clean, modern bathrooms. The main outdoor space is quite large and well appointed.. You never feel pressed against other groups. The music adds a layer of moodiness and fun to the air. The wines are very limited. The Pizza is quite good. Joined the club for good measure. read more

I wanted to take a friend visiting from out of town to the Cielo Malibu winery a couple of Saturdays ago - but the phone number (805-852-1804) listed on their Yelp page and their website is to the corporate office, not to the winery. We called to make sure they were open, but were not able to reach the winery - so we just drove out there on a Saturday afternoon, thinking, 'WHY would a winery be closed on a Saturday?'. Welp, we got there and got turned away at the bottom of the driveway because they were hosting a private event. It's easy and free to put your winery phone number on the Yelp page so you can let callers know whether you are open. read more

One would assume that by making a table reservation and paying $25 you would at least be greeted by a server at the barn. But that's not the case. passed the gate entrance being asked stupid questions such as do you have any pets with you, your pretty much on your own other than having to leave your car with the valet parking at a cost of $12. There's no one greeting you or sitting you at a table and offering a menu. For an afternoon of overpriced, 12" pizzas & a chopped Italian salad that lacked dressing, flavor & tasted as it came from a fast-food restaurant all served on eco fiber plates and utensils, we spent over $200.00. I understand this is a winery and not a restaurant & that you do not have a kitchen on site however if you serve food at the premises it should be amazing for these price points. The food is subpar, & super expensive. Single serving pizzas at $30 are overly expensive. To top it off, the $25/ reservation table fee charge is ridiculous. It Is non-refundable & doesn't go towards the cost of your wine/food. Then there's a $12 parking fee. you're looking at $37 for the privilege of sitting in a beautiful setting. Totally unreasonable prices. I truly wanted to love this place but I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Absolutely stunning views. We did the Estate Wine Tasting so we got to sample some of the most popular wines and also have a short tour of the property. Afterwards we bought a glass of wine and a meat & cheese board (delicious) and sat enjoying the sunshine and beautiful ambiance. Lovely way to spend an afternoon. read more

This place wouldn't let us through because of my service dog. My disability isn't physical, so I do sometimes get a hard time, but the manager & front security workers were so rude & made me feel so dumb & terrible for making our group turn around. They asked for me to show paperwork which is illegal btw. read more

Absolutely love this place. Incredible views and in my opinion the best vines around. Stephanie and Eric are amazing. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back read more

Truly ever-inspiring...to say the least!! Cielo Farms is simply breathtaking!! As a planner, we often fail to stop and smell anything, let alone take in sights, sounds, surroundings, the whole nine. But gosh, Cielo commands the alternative as soon as you step onto the property. The Santa Monica Mountains sing when you are onsite -and the energy is electric. We cannot say enough about the pure joy it is to work at the property and we should point out the wonderful experience doesn't cease there! Cielo's well oiled and incredibly thoughtful team is beyond delightful to work with! The amount of care and consideration that goes into each delicate detail is astounding. We are truly blessed when the opportunity to work at Cielo Farm arises - we know we are in excellent company!! read more

This place is truly one stunning location. I came here for a wedding and my goodness it is gorgeous. At first you drive up a pretty steep hill then arrive at Valet which they take your car and point you to the wedding . As you arrive , it's a gorgeous lawn overviewing the mountains and city as well as more room going down with tables for dinner and a building to go in as well. This place is truly Gorgeous and the great part is the constant service you receive from the security and workers over there whether they transport you via their atv or call for the shuttles , they are always helpful . Overall this place is stunning whether you want to have a wedding here or come enjoy some quality wine. read more

We had our wedding at Cielo Farms and it was absolutely incredible - the venue is stunning with unbeatable views and sunsets, the food and wine exceed all expectations, and the service is top notch. All of our guests had an amazing time. Jamie Powell was our venue coordinator and she was a joy to work with throughout the entire process. Thank you Jamie and everyone else at Cielo! read more

I do not recommend this place. There are plenty of other cheaper and just as beautiful winey's/places to drink and have a good time in Malibu. First of all it is far too over priced. They only serve food (other than cheese boards & salads) Thursday-Sunday so if you go any other night expect to be hungry and out $100+ on wine and a small salad that might be enough to feed 3. The other night we made reservations for my moms birthday when we got there after ordering wine we were told there would be no food. We were upset since we were having a birthday party with friends and expected pizza. When we asked if we could at least go pick up some food to bring back up we were told very rudely by the manager No. Keep in mind at the time we were members of this winery but no longer we have now canceled our membership. We stayed and drank some wine and were the last the leave the property that night. We realized we forgot our tablecloth the next morning and called to see if we could pick it up. Once again we were told No they haven't seen it even though we were the last to leave it must be there. read more

I have known the Richard and his family for years and have watched all the love and hard work they've put into Cielo Farms. They have a great wines which is their Woodstock collection of red and whites and the location is absolutely breathtaking. You can book weddings and party's and you can also become a wine member. Awesome wine and an awesome place. Please do yourself a favor and experience this rare find. Cheers . read more

I absolutely adore Cielo!!! it is one of the most breath taking places in Malibu! there are perfect unobstructed views of the entire valley! You can join their wine club and hang out on the gorgeous property sipping and snacking and taking it all in!! they set up lawn games, play music and of course serve delicious wine! My favorite is the black widow! there are so many great ones though, you will want to try them all!! it is truly a wonderful recreational venue where you can bring family and friends to send some time just enjoying each other in a perfectly peaceful setting! The Venue is also a special event space as well. You can rent it out as a private venue to host your next party. Weather you are planning for an wedding, family party, rehearsal dinner or other fun event, this is the premiere destination in Malibu!! Watching the sunset over the hill will take your breath away! and this venue comes with so many extras! There is a great stone barn, furniture, lighting and TONS of parking! Just imagine yourself relaxing, dancing or drinking the night away!! read more

CIELO FARMS as a wedding venue: We feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to have our wedding at the gorgeous Cielo Farms. It's the perfect venue for a rustic but elegant wedding, and the only useable barn for weddings that we could find in the area. It's stunning, a place that feels like a private slice of heaven. At once intimate as well as expansive. Our guests from abroad felt like they came to a perfect jewel of a location - a tuscan vineyard barn on the side of a hill overlooking the malibu valleys, and our local LA friends commented that although they know the area so well, they had never been to anyplace like this. For weddings, they have a sound system already in place, and a team of vendors that work so well together they're just doing you a huge favor introducing you to them. Also, and this was huge for us, the site reps Shawna and Sheena are an absolute joy to work with. Understanding, patient, and knowledgeable, they were probably our biggest help through the entire wedding process (and when have you heard THAT to be the case - seriously, those two made the whole process work so smoothly.) They made the place feel like family. We're absolutely joining the wine club now and can't wait to be there again. We highly recommend the venue, and their team to anyone who wants a perfect wedding day. read more

After searching 50+ venues in several states and even different countries, we ended up choosing Cielo Farms for our recent wedding. It was absolutely incredible. After the fires last december, everything around the venue was extremely green. The grounds themselves were pristine and it was so incredibly beautiful. All of our guests loved the outdoor space and the interior of the barn, and if we had to do it all over again, we absolutely would choose Cielo again in a heartbeat. read more

If you are looking for a cozy winery venue for your wedding day, check out Cielo Malibu Wines. They have a nice background for wedding photos and enough open areas for the reception. The barn house was the great facility for using as a dancing hall. read more

***IMPORTANT NOTE*** Do NOT go to the Cielo Wines address listed here (31424 Mulholland) looking for wine tasting - you'll only arrive at a closed gate because this is the actual vineyard address only. (I know this because this is what we did!!) Instead, go to Sip - which shares a parking lot with Rustic Canyon Grocery & Grill (the sign you'll see from Kanan Road). THIS is where Cielo Wines holds their tastings: Kanan Road at Sierra Creek Road. It's a LOVELY place to sit and relax by the fire pits and listen to live music - and they have a Sunday brunch from 9am to 12 noon. It's a MUST visit - great wine, awesome atmosphere, toasty fire pits, olive trees, jasmine flowers, aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! We were lucky enough to ring the outside buzzer at the closed gate here, and spoke to a nice lady who told us where to go. Cielo wines are AWESOME too - we especially liked the Honeypie (a muscat blend) and the Blackbird (a cab blend)! read more

Beautiful tasting room and grounds in Malibu! The only problem is, if you're not a member or on a wine tour, you can't get in. That being said, go on a wine tour and get in! The staff are very friendly and are knowledgeable about the wines and the wine making process. For wine club members, wine tasting is free and then you also get a free glass of your choice while you wander around the grounds or enjoy the 'clubhouse', which they call the Barn. Because it's a barn. At any rate, I believe that it is $10 to taste or is free if you go on a wine tour. The wines are delicious are a few of them can be found in supermarkets, such as Whole Foods. Worth the try if you're a big wine fan Only drawbacks are that they are impossible to reach. They never answer their phone or respond to emails, which can be mighty frustrating. Also, the wines run a bit on the expensive side with the average bottle being about $55. The Wildberries wine is just $20 a bottle though and is really good! read more

This place is just bad!!! Right on the road, you can hear the cops, the trucks, the bikes - and there are A LOT OF them! The outdoor seating is tiny. We did not even stay for the wine! Go up the Kanan Dr up north and try Malibu Wines on Mulholland Hwy. read more

Amazing venue, amazing wine, amazing service. I can't say enough about Cydney who is the marketing/event coordinator. My husband and I had our wedding reception here. We are members and have always enjoyed the wines. Honey Pie and Black Widow are our favs. The venue speaks for itself with its beauty and landscape. The wines are excellent. The reason for this review is to praise Cydney and her skills to manage all our vendors, my husband and my own visions. Whether you are going up for your wine tasting or wine pick up, or thinking about having a small event here, make sure Cydney is there to guide the way! read more

This is my first ever yelp review. I've had horrible service many of times but am not the type to complain and write a review on it. This place however is like nothing I've ever experienced before. The owners are the most selfish, unethical people I've ever spoken to. They do not care at all about people, only getting your money and once they get that they couldn't care less about you. It is all a scam. I booked my wedding with them back in March 2022 for a wedding date of March 10, 2023. I let them know a month later that I would no longer be having my wedding there since all the prices for their exclusive vendors were wayyy more than anywhere else and way more than what they quoted us for. This is almost a year in advance notice of cancellation and they are refusing to give me my $8,200 deposit back when the contract clearly states that it will not be refunded due to foreseeable losses and liquidated damages. Clearly there are no foreseeable losses or liquidated damages in this case and absolutely no service was given to us. They have no reason for not giving us our money back other than "unfortunately we will not give a refund at this time". I fought very hard to get it back but the owner is a rich man who only cares about taking peoples money even if no service was provided. Horrible service and people running this place. read more

I recently had a proposal at Cielo Farms, and let me tell you it was nothing short of perfect. The venue is beautiful. The views are beautiful. Everything was so clean and just so perfect. Best of all, the customer care I got was beyond exceptional. I had been in contact with Stephanie from about a month before my proposal occurred and she replied to me within minutes each time I had a question (and I had a bunch!). She was so nice all the time and really made the whole process so much smoother and less stressful than it could have been. I couldn't have done it without her help. My experience with Cielo Farms was great! read more

The most beautiful peaceful winery. Great service! Loved the wine and wildfire pizzas. Highly recommend!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I joined the Cielo Wine Club about a year ago. What got me about this place...the wine, the barn, and the great time to be had here. The wine is amazing. The atmosphere is top notch! The time to be had....like no other. Since joining, I have exposed others to this gem and they have joined. Recently, we celebrated my mom's b-day here and the family members who attended raved about the barn for days. This location is nice for an afternoon getaway. I would definitely recommend! read more

Spent a pleasant Saturday afternoon here! Mingling with other wine club members and enjoy the wines (WITCH), the views and the conversation. Only thing missing -I forgot to pack a picnic! Staff is beyond pleasant Wine delicious People - very friendly! read more

I fell in love with this winery! It's by far the best winery I've been to. The views are breathtaking especially during sunset, the wine is tasty and the staff are very kind and helpful. Love the atmosphere. Will be coming back! read more

This would have been a 5 if they didn't close SIP. The email about SIP closing was funny with a title of exciting news, but I wasn't excited at all. I love the wine here, LOVED taking my friends to SIP. But now I can only bring one guest to the barn when I need to get my wine shipments. Very disappointing. Best wines are white rabbit if you love whites, then black widow, purple haze, deep purple, the witch, 8 ball of you are into reds. read more

The Good: The wines are actually very delicious. The Bad: I joined the club at a wine festival event in late June 2013. It seemed to be a great deal and it was super close to my beloved Malibu Wines which the owner promised they would surpass. After over a month I never got any correspondence from them. How would I know where to pick up my shipment? How would I know a shipment was even ready? I couldn't even figure out how to find what events were going on there. So after a month passed, I sent an email asking what was going on. I got a response that my email had been entered incorrectly and that I could pick-up my wines at any time. Okay great. Another 2 weeks goes by and I still have no communication from this place. Something tells me to check my credit card statement, and sure enough, they've charged me for another shipment. Again, STILL NO COMMUNICATION!! The Ugly: I emailed, now quite annoyed, asking why I hadn't gotten any information on this place. They seemed to have no problem keying my credit card numbers to charge me, but somehow after the email from 2 weeks prior, they still hadn't managed to re-key my correct email address? After much back and forth and the owner trying to get me to stay, I told him this type of service was nothing compared to "other places" and that I had no intentions of carrying on with the supposed membership. I asked for a full refund. He agreed. Another 2 WEEKS LATER, still nothing! Again, I send an email. He jumps on someone saying why I hadn't been refunded, blah, blah, blah. The person says oh I did it last week and that it took 7 to 10 days to process a refund but let them know if I hadn't received it by Friday. I call BS!!! Somehow that refund shows up exactly on a Friday 10 days later?!?! A normal place takes 2 to 3 days to process a refund. Again, I call BS!!! I used to review restaurants and other establishments for years and this is by far one of the absolute worst customer service experiences I've ever had. HORRIBLE!!!!! My money will spend anywhere and it will NOT spend here!! I hope my experience will help them get their act together so others won't have to deal with this nonsense. What good is the view if they can't even get the paperwork straight?!? HORRIBLE!!!!! read more
