Stopped by for a glass of wine before dinner next store. A nice start to the evening. Knowledgeable, friendly staff and large wine selection. Will be back. read more

Rustic wine bar/tasting room pouring various wines/varietals from all over the world. Simple tasting menu: pick 3 wines for $33. Very healthy pours, I'm guessing 4-5 oz. They also have a "Signature Tasting" which is 7 wines for $65 (by appointment only). Beautiful setting in the Malibu mountains for a relaxing afternoon of wine tasting, noshing, and live music. Cornell offers many wines from various wineries throughout the world and allows you to create your own tasting flight from their menu or purchase a glass or bottle. My wife and I enjoyed sharing two flights, and we even tried a bottle of red Moscato, which my mother-in-law loves. A friend joined us as well and the four of us shared a small Hollywood Nosh Box ($25) and a jar of Taggiasche Olices ($11) which was more than enough. They carry a small selection of charcuterie items so you can have quite a nice little picnic for yourself. We'll definitely stop in Cornell again...I recommend that you check them out. read more

Hidden in a foggy canyon near Malibu, Cornell Wine Company looks like an Old West movie set, which makes sense because this area served as a backdrop for classic Hollywood film and tv, including many Westerns, and the original MASH and Planet of the Apes. In the early days of Cornell, California, these buildings were a post office and a general store, before becoming a sanctuary for wine people, poets, Brooklyn musicians, and apparently peacocks. Cornell is a good place to taste wines from all over the area, grab food and relax with friends. I've been coming here for years, and somehow it has kept its rustic charm, even with new ownership. Buy a bottle, grab a wobbly table, and settle in for open mic poetry, acoustic music, steaks, or a tinned fish tasting. (Check the online calendar for scheduled events.) The staff is knowledgeable about Southern California wines, especially from Santa Barbara and Ventura, and tastings can be a good way to learn more. A significant amount of seating here is outdoors, so dress like you're camping: think layers, and maybe a blanket. It's somewhat remote, so we tend to stay a while. Rustic, atmospheric, dusty, and charming. read more

We popped into this cute shop to split a bottle of wine before heading to a wedding down the street and were so glad that we found it. The friendly staff quickly assisted us in getting a bottle of chilled orange wine selected and we enjoyed it in the quaint, tree-filled sunlit outdoor sitting area. The inside of the wine shop is great as well, with a large wine selection, small market area with food and trinkets, and seating area as well. I loved the rustic, relaxed vibe and how it felt like a hidden gem. read more

This is an an absolutely beautiful place to have wine. The breathtaking views of nature make for one amazing setting. The service was amazing. My husband and I found a cozy picnic table to enjoy our wine. We had plans later that day, otherwise we would have stayed longer. I loved seeing all the dogs walking around/ lounging with their owners. The photo booth was also fun. We plan to come back and spend a full day here. read more

One year I didn't know what I wanted to do for my birthday, so I turned to Yelp. I wanted to try somewhere new that I hadn't been before. That's when I came across Cornell Wine. I love the rustic charm of this place. It's unexpected when you're driving up. It's nestled in a beautiful spot with the mountains and trees. You can hear animals in the distance and they have wild peacocks roaming the grounds. It's majestic to me and just my vibe. Since I found this place a few years ago, I have probably celebrated my last three birthdays here. I have also brought friends inbetween and introduced them to my beautiful find! It has a cabin like vibe to it. When you walk in they racks of wine to choose from. They have some fun local vendors that sell their artwork here. They also have premade charcuterie boards you can buy or nice snacks to accompany your wine. Then you can pick your wine or do a flight with three tastings. After you can roam the grounds and find a cute look nook in a tree, or a comfy chair out front to look at the views, or one of the many picnic tables off on the sides. They have so many cute places to sit and enjoy your wine. If I'm hungry, I will go to The Old Place next door and get a steak to bring back to my table as well. They have really good food. Everytime I have gone, the time literally flies by. Sometimes I have gone from open to nearly closing time. You just lose track of time here. I highly recommend going. You won't regret it. They also host events and you can make a reservation if you have a few people going. I love to reserve the back table. read more

Still a favorite place! On my way back from Malibu I was craving a glass of wine and sit outside on this gorgeous day so made sure to stop by on my way home. Glad to have been able to try some wine options but I settled on the Rose. Hit the spot! read more

This winery feels very homey/dreamy. There's the main house where you get your wine and.once you do that and venture out, you can find your own little corner in the little "booths" that felt like you have your own little room or put in the patio to enjoy the sun or inside behind the counter, where you can play board games (and they have a little stage too) or at the back where there's a coffee truck (closed while we were there) and there's also a trailer of sort where you can order food. The orange wine that we got was absolutely delicious and we would definitely come back here to chill and enjoy the space. read more

It was a beautiful day to enjoy a glass, ok a bottle of wine at Cornell. Enjoyed it on the front patio, only it's a challenge for talking, as it's also great weather for dusting off the BMW, Kawasaki or put the top down on the roadster and cruise the canyon roads. Still a lovely experience to enjoy some wine, in nature, emersed in the woodsy canyon air. read more

Cornell Wine is a diamond among rocks. There is no place like it, the property is rustic and sprawling. There are private seating areas carved out. There is live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the wine is divine. I had an Italian Verdicchio and it was perfection! You just need to visit for yourself. There are so many things to see and feel and experience here. Enjoy! read more

Cute wooden rustic wine shop right on the roadside- a great stop to enjoy the surrounding scenery when in the area. You go inside and buy a bottle of wine, then find a seat outside or inside to sit and enjoy the wine. They also have light bites and little gifts to browse while in the shop too. Their staff are very knowledgeable on the wine sold- we are not the biggest wine drinkers so asked for recommendations and they gave us a few tasters to pick out which wine we preferred. Got a couple of bottles of the rose - nice flavors and served chilled. You can sit as long as you want to sip at the wine and enjoy the views. We spent a couple of hours here on a sunny weekend day. Also depending on the day/time they have live music inside too! Just a really nice relaxed vibe, pricing isn't too steep either for the wine. A perfect hidden gem in the hills. read more

What a special way to spend a weekend day. Sipping wine and enjoying a beautiful day outside. We were greeted by Danny who had some wonderful suggestions for our tasting. We decided to do a flight of wine and sit outside to enjoy our choices. After sipping on our wines in the garden, we made our way back inside to purchase bottles to go. Great history and delicious wines made for a perfect Saturday. read more

I love this place so much as I do The Old Place next door, both of which we only very recently discovered. We live in Rancho Palos Verdes and have been brought to the area by an unfortunate family circumstance that will continue to bring us to the area weekly for the foreseeable future (at least for 6 weeks). After driving by a week ago, we knew we had to stop. The entire compound of The Cornell Wine Co. as well as The Old Place is amazing; it's like stepping back in time. On our first visit, we grabbed a couple glasses of wine inside and played some games with our son. (They have a bunch of cool games to play with in a very comfy, cozy interior space.) On our next weekly visit, we went yesterday before they opened and plunked ourselves down on the comfy sofa outside in the "Art Garden" to conduct some items of business as a very friendly and had to be resident peacock came to make our acquaintance. As I entertained some business calls, I walked along the art (along with George the Peacock as I affectionately named him) and made my way out back to admire the old Ford in the back lot. Like I said, this entire compound is an absolute must visit. (Sorry to the regulars, who must hate visitors from the likes of Rancho Palos Verdes). We visited again today after an hour and 40 minute drive in to visit our family member and again after the visit. The space itself is just so cool and comforting and even the bathroom inside off the entertainment stage is cool, complete with a urinal for us dudes. We had to leave before tonight's entertainment but, of course, we'll be back again next week and we look forward to trying to catch it again! read more

What a neat place tucked in the woods on a windy road in Old Agoura! Stepping in to this place feels like you are miles away from Los Angeles and stepping back in time! Looks like an old western scene! Worth a stop to just look around...or a place to kick back with some refreshments! You can purchase a bottle of wine or a glass. Or even do a tasting. They have a good number of wine bottle offerings! Plus you can pair your drink with some cheese and fresh bread!if you are not a wine fan, there is also non alcoholic drinks in the fridge as well as cider. One you grab your drinks, there is great seating areas throughout the grounds: you can sit inside or you can grab a picnic bench or table to kick back among friends! This place also offers a super cute shop. The shop sells vintage clothes, jewelry, cool hats and more. Plus some nights they offer music! Definitely worth a stop if you are looking to get away from the city and relax in a cool environment! read more

Tucked away in the Santa Monica mtns are these little LA gems. I've been coming to visit the Old Place and this winery for nearly a decade. It's always an elegant rustic treat, and for many years a local malibu hang. Some nights prior they would have musicians on the guitar performing, with a peacock wandering outside on acres of a ranch. Shrubs and wildflowers grown all in full bloom. On sunny Sunday mornings, all the bikers ride on by and others take their rare car collections for a spin. This time around I've encountered many more tourists but for me, it's always a local spot for us Angelenos. Where we find a respite from the city, and enjoy friends and family. Shop around this cute lil store they have, and grab a sandwich @the Old Place and or wine tasting here. It's an enjoyable experience, I always feel like I have roots here. It's nice to be connected to the earth. I do wish they had some small snacks or finger foods as a side menu. That would be wonderful as well. :) Thanks guys see ya shortly. read more

Came here with a few friends and had an absolutely lovely time. We snagged a good picnic table outside and the place was filled with the smell of BBQ from the place next door. That place to be honest seems like an absolute rip, but the Cornell Winery has some cute bites. We got some cheese, and bread and crackers, some tinned fish that was actually delicious and a wine tasting. The wine tasting is three full glasses for $25. I had both whites and the rose. All three were great, and definitely recommend the rose. The have a cute seating area inside also that would be good for larger groups or a bigger party. Overall a great place to come and highly recommend. read more

I've been to this winery a number of times and I knew it was time for me to say how amazing this place is. Cornell winery is an indoor / outdoor winery in Malibu that makes you feel as if you transported out of Malibu / Los Angeles and into a cozy forest. You have the choice to sit inside or outside with the outside having shaded cozy areas big enough for multiple people. The inside is fun as well with multiple tables and even a large selection of games you can choose from with your group. They offer numerous wine tastings or even bottles to purchase. They also have charcuterie boards that you can purchase with your wines. Every wine I have had here is delicious and I have done the tastings multiple times. The staff here are always so pleasant and helpful. I have had numerous discussions with them concerning their wines and their selections. I will continue to come here and bring more people when they come visit me! If you are outside, look for the beautiful animals around the area! read more

Charming, rustic, western town inspired winery tucked away in the hills! It is such a scenic and beautiful place with lively peacocks wandering around as well as a few donkeys behind a cute little fenced area. They have a fun little shop inside as well with tons of vintage books films, and they also have cold pressed juices and extra cheese for sale inside the little restaurant next-door serves amazing barbecue burgers, salad sandwiches and they also have a breakfast menu. We got the BLT pork sandwich, the breakfast burrito and a cheese plate and a large bottle of rosé to share between my friend and I the food was amazing so decadent and rich. I highly recommend splitting a plate between two people because the portions were huge. I wasn't able to finish the whole thing and took my sandwich to go and gave it to my boyfriend later we went on Easter day and it was super crowded but we still found places to sit inside as well as outside when we went to go eat everyone was very nice, the young lady in the front recommended a fresh rose for us and service was very fast. We left feeling so happy and wanting to return again~~~~ read more

There are many wineries and tasting rooms in the area but we found this smaller one on a whim. It's a small shop that sells clothing, trinkets, cheese, and of course wine. Their wine tasting is three for $25 and we chose from 6 different options. Jason walked us through the different wine tasting options and also gave us some recommendations for food in the area. After we got our wines we sat in the back of the shop and played some board games to pass the time. It's a place where everyone seems to know everyone and the staff was very friendly. It's a good place to stop by for a bit and enjoy some wine tasting or shopping. read more

My friend an I were driving by after a nearby hike and we noticed such an original looking shop with several small buildings around it. It looked like a rustic cabin, with several smaller cabins surrounding it. We also noticed the sign out front telling us they had wine, so we had to check it out. This place has a main wine store/tasting room. It really is a bottle shop, as Cornell is not a winery and they do not have their own wine. They also have a small window in another building along the side, where you can order wine, beer, and a small variety of casual food. They also have another small cabin in back that is a coffee shop. We were more in the mood for wine, but the coffee shop smelled great. The main tasting room is more of a store with wine bottles, a variety of cute gifts and a place to buy cheese, small snacks, and fresh baguettes. Behind the bar is a seating area/tasting room. There is lots of outdoor seating, on the porch of the main shop, in front of the main shop, on a covered porch or in covered booths on the side. We shared a bottle of rose' from Provence, a baguette, and beer cheese dip while sitting outside. This is such an interesting spot and very dog friendly. I really enjoyed out short outing at Cornell Wine. read more

What used to be "Cornell Winery" is now just "Cornell Wine" since they don't actually grow any grapes or make their own wine. You can certainly buy it by the glass or bottle and take it outside to enjoy in the many nooks and crannies they've got going on. Old tables, booths, benches -- a very rustic feel to the place. The wine selection by the glass was limited according to the menu I saw. The pinot noir was from Germany (Germany?) and wasn't to my liking. They also have beer (some from nearby Malibu Brewing Company) and food which you can order from a window behind "The Old Place" restaurant. Food is pricey and you can't bring your own in -- so be prepared to spend some dough. I'd much rather see the occasional food truck but I guess they need to sell their own stuff first. If you're lucky, you'll spot their resident peacock wandering around. We'll come back again as it's a lovely atmosphere and off the beaten path. read more

Stopped by to check this place out with my husband on Sunday. I saw a post on IG and it looked interesting and fun. It's a good spot to enjoy wine tasting with family and friends, to spend an afternoon out in the woods. It has a very mountain resort kind of feel to it and it smells like it too. They offer variety of wine to taste from. You can get a bottle of wine or do a tasting. They sell some cheese, charcuterie and crackers to go along the wine tasting. The gift shop offers lots of handmade items from local artists such as jewelry, hats, pottery and more. It was fun browsing through the shop. If you want to eat something there is a food place right next door called The Old Place. read more

OK... But overpriced, pretty low quality food. There are a lot of other options in the area.

Cornell offered a quaint and relaxed atmosphere with unique rotating wine tasting flights. We had a great time

Casual, rustic atmosphere. Wine only, if you want food, it needs to be purchased at the restaurant next door.

Booked this last minute to host my 36th birthday. Long story short we were doing a staycation at Calamigos Guest Ranch in the area and decided we still wanted to see friends/fam- who mostly live in the Pasadena area. Just a couple days before we swiftly reserved a patio for a very affordable rate. The staff was accommodating, communicative, flexible, and just chill. It was the perfect ambience for 15 or so guests including a couple children and a few dogs. The wine variety was fun, funky, and tasty! They also had a nice variety of beers and seltzer waters for non wine drinkers. Great service but not too overburdening. Provided plates/napkins/knife when someone unexpectedly brought a cake. Fun touches- board games available to play with, peacocks roaming the premises, donkeys to watch and listen to, fun kitschy decor, gifts for purchase, and a live musical duo. Parking lot made it easy and some guests parked on the street. Unfussy, rustic, cozy atmosphere. Feels like you're further away from LA than you are Would definitely return for both a large gathering or a date night. Great escape. read more

Absolutly amazing!!!!!! We went as we heard there would be a band and we had wine and the cover was $10 per person and they explained that the whole cover charge goes to the band.

Beautiful spot. Amazing music and vibes. Girl with the hat is always friendly and warm. Love this spot. Hidden gem and prefer it that way!

I frequent Cornell winery often and for two reasons. One great wine and two the blonde women in the hat! I'm drawing a blank on her name right this second but what a sweet young lady!! I'm also going to say something about the other review that is bashing on this incredible soul. Maybe you were the drunk one? Maybe just maybe?? We don't have to like everyone we come across but saying things that are not factual on the internet on their jobs review pg is out of line. I wish both of these lady's well and if you are lucky enough to have a wonderful glass of wine here at Cornell winery take pictures it is absolutely beautiful with wonderful people that work here!! read more

Truly a magical place to pretend you are in wine country. Cheers! read more
