The scene in the back is where you wanna be with a relaxed atmosphere and nice local music being performed. Really neat spot in a neat little town, I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

The…read moreladies working there were amazing -- super friendly, welcoming, and really intentional about helping you find something that fits your taste. They make the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. There's a small indoor tasting area and a shaded outdoor picnic‑table setup right in the vineyard. It's a great spot to hang out, listen to the music they have playing, and take in some really pretty views (perfect for snapping a few photos). It's kid‑friendly and dog‑friendly, which makes it an easy stop for groups or families. They also offer apple wine, which was really fun to try for the first time -- something different and very Julian. A simple, friendly, scenic winery that's perfect for a laid‑back tasting day.

On a recent two week trip to visit family in California, we discovered Twelve located on the top…read morefloor of Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. It was on a Sunday evening. The place was relatively quiet with several people enjoying themselves at the bar. We opted to sit in the comfy lounge chairs overlooking the breathtaking scenery of mountains and blue skies. We had eaten dinner earlier in the casino and since I had a sweet craving, I ordered an Espresso Martini. It definitely satisfied my craving. It was a TREAT! The bartender informed us that live music is showcased on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. We decided to return to Thursday Night Rock Show featuring HWY 111. We actually met vocalist Niki Bente in the elevator on our way to Twelve! She was very friendly and personable. Niki Bente also preforms with Twisted Gypsy whom we had the pleasure of seeing at the Rock Yard on Saturday night. Rocking Show!!! HWY 111 was very entertaining as I danced the night away! The place was lively, filled with people having a great time. It proved to be a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed two different specialty cocktails from the menu. The bartenders are attentive and offer a choice of complimentary almonds with or without salt. Whether you're looking for a quieter place to enjoy a cocktail or two and take in the beautiful views or you prefer to Rock Out with live music, Twelve is the place to choose! I will definitely return to Twelve when I visit California in the future!

We found this place looking for a happy hour to take out friend too that was coming into town. From…read morethe menu, it looked and sounded great. Wine bar doesn't open till 5 which was when happy hour started. For the first hour, they had wine, well drinks and draft beer. A few small plates also offered. It's a wine and tapas bar. It's along El Paseo before you hit the main shopping area, depending on which way you come. Entrance has a nice wall created by ficus trees and mister spraying to keep you cool. There's a decent patio with a good amount of seating. Inside is where the party is. The place is set with two seating area. Right when you walk in is the bar. A good amount of hi top seating and tables. Hi top seating that are along the window were actually very uncomfortable. Padded seats were so narrow that seating was so uncomfortable but oh well. There's the other room seating area which houses all the wine on shelves. I believe it's also a wine store but that sectioned was closed for a private event. We just wanted a drink before dinner so no food was had. From the looks of the dishes that were coming out, they looked really nice. Tapas style dishes made for sharing. With happy hour, there was a couple dishes that was included. Also they offered a deal with a charcuterie board and a bottle included. We just went with a glass of their house red and white. And an order of spicy margaritas. It's a full bar so that was nice. Margaritas were great and house wine was decent. The service was great with the bartender who was a doll and very sweet. Made drinks and still had time to come check out on people. It was still early but it did pick up for happy hour which is from 5-6 right when they open. The place was quite nice and well decorated. Beautiful wine bar that's great for mingling with friends over food drinks and tapas. Will definitely be back for some food.

The staff were laughing with each other as they were working and you could tell they like their job. I received a warm welcome and was presented with three different menus for all they have to offer. My server Jennifer was great to talk with about the wines, the owners, and the food. I enjoyed trying different cheeses along with a delicious Albariño wine. They had some fairly steady stream of customers, some were regulars and some were first-timers like me. Next time I will try one of the salads which I saw and it looked amazing. I have a feeling they will need to be expanding if the word gets out on how wonderful everything is. I added it to my list of stops whenever I am at my vacation place in Indian Wells. You should check them out!!

It's the kind of place where you sink into your seat and don't want to leave. Great spot to meet up with friends, with live music most nights adding to the vibe. But honestly, the real charm here is James, the owner. He's a genuine sweetheart, and his staff are just as caring -- they make you feel like family every time you walk in. The wine selection rotates often, and I always ask for a recommendation. Never once been disappointed. The cocktails are excellent too, and it's clear the martinis are a specialty and very popular. And don't get me started on the bar food. There are so many good options it's hard to choose -- the flatbreads, the bacon-wrapped dates (a local favorite done to perfection), the meatballs, the charcuterie, and so many more... it all pairs so well with the drinks. More than once we've cancelled our dinner plans because we filled up on all the goodies here. This has become our regular spot to catch up with friends, and the community feel is hard to beat. And, we love supporting local small business! Can't recommend it enough.
