Service is quite good, down to the custom wine glass screen toppers, and the red blends and pinot noir both are not bad. Can't say I would rave about them, but I can see why they have a following. Smashburgers were pretty good, tater tots are okay (fresh frozen I assume, but more than adequate all the same), nice enough place to hang outside on the covered patio area in the spring or fall. Parking lot is small with a large unpaved overflow area if you don't mind a very slight walk uphill.

Driving up to this location is beautiful! The scenery is wonderful, and once you arrive, it has…read moresuch a nice rustic vibe. We went in for the wine tasting, which comes with five wines: one white, one rosé, and three reds. Their wines are definitely on the drier side. I really enjoyed their reds and their Chardonnay. They also have a cute little shop inside with snacks and gift options. I picked up some crackers and organic raspberry Red Vines, which was a fun little bonus. The downside for me was the tasting experience. Tastings are done at the counter, so we had to stand at the bar while tasting, even though there is plenty of beautiful seating throughout the property. There were three people working behind the bar. The two helpers were very kind, friendly, and seemed like they were learning the ropes. Unfortunately, the woman with the long black, curly/wavy hair seemed to be running the show, and her personality really put a damper on our experience. She came across as extremely cold and unwelcoming, and honestly looked like she didn't want to be there, girl looks miserable. We didn't stay after the tasting. I really like being able to relax and enjoy my time at a winery, and when the service feels unwelcoming, it takes away from the experience for me. I was there with two friends and was actually considering celebrating my birthday there, but I couldn't see myself spending more time in that atmosphere. So we decided to leave and head up the street to Reyes Winery...and honestly, I'm SO happy we did! If you're interested, head over to my Yelp and check out my review of Reyes Winery.

We came to Reyes Winery after stopping at Agua Dulce Winery and having a less-than-fun experience,…read moreso we honestly weren't sure what to expect. But Reyes Winery completely turned things around for us! The drive in is beautiful. You take a dirt road that leads you into this gorgeous entrance with a water fountain surrounded by vines. It immediately gives you that peaceful, rustic winery feeling. When we walked into the tasting room, there were about 4-5 tables inside along with the bar. The gentleman working that day told us we could sit wherever we wanted and that he would bring the tasting to us. He was working alone and was clearly busy, so I was honestly surprised but very appreciative...that we could sit wherever we wanted and enjoy the view. My friends and I chose a table outside, and he brought us the tasting menu. Their wine tasting comes with 7 tastings, and I was really happy with the selection! What really made this experience special was the service. The gentleman helping us was absolutely wonderful...so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. He was younger and had long hair...I really wish I had gotten his name because he deserves the recognition, but unfortunately I completely forgot. He was handling everything by himself and somehow still managed to make everyone feel taken care of. He kept checking on us, making suggestions, and chatting with us throughout our visit. He found out it was my birthday and even surprised me with a complimentary glass of wine, which I thought was incredibly kind! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the wine so much that we ended up staying for about two hours. It was such a fun, relaxed experience, and before leaving, all three of us bought bottles to take home to support the business. Thank you so much for making our experience so wonderful, light, and fun! We will absolutely be returning the next time we're in the area. If you're in the area and debating which winery to visit, give Reyes Winery a chance! Out of the wineries we visited, this was easily our favorite experience.

The owner Ilda Vaja is so passionate about it she calls it a very expensive hobby. And I can't imagine what it takes to plant, care for, produce and bottle the wine every year. She was the sole managing person here this particular Friday and man was it such a fun conversation we had. We learned a lot about Tehachapi and how she started it and it is just heart warming to hear the story. She's also the first one to plant and produce a very good Malbec. The tasting consisted of a rosé, Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec. She served this with cheese, crackers and local chocolates! The ranch also has AirBNB rooms so be sure to check out her website for availability. Women owned, local and full of love. You can taste that in the product. During this weekend trip, I also visited 2 other wineries but I can tell you hands down, this was an absolutely memorable stop. I highly recommend stopping by here if you're passing by. I promise you the wine is great, the views and the person behind this winery are phenomenal. We ended up taking home 5 wines. During the week make an appointment. But weekends you can just stop by.

Since I don't mind walking,I was able to find street parking. But avoid going further up Sherman way; by some cul de sac residential area; they have signs saying not to park on the street--on the street with a sign specifically telling you to respect the neighbors. Also poor internet service up here, so I'm not a fan. I arrived without a reservation and it was fine. They offer the outdoor patio and even noticed a private event taking place. They also have indoor seating with tables and sofas. I spent the majority of my afternoon inside as I was avoiding the heat. Just depends what type of wine you select; but Pricey here for a flight of red wine four types; $59 but my fault for going with all reds! They are top tier. Flight wine Saddlerock: Syrah, Cab, KOM, and Res Cab. Syrah was the on the dry side (as it is known to be) and not as sweet. Still really good. The KOB was a combination and it was delicious. That was my fav out of the batch. I also bought water for $5 but it's a big bottle of sparkling water; Not tap. My total here was $64 paid with my card and closed my tab. For the following rounds, I paid cash: I had two rounds of IPA beer: both were really good in my opinion. "Pliny the elder" by Russian river IPA and "food fight" by common space. Glass was $10-11each 16oz Lastly, I ordered a charcuterie cheese and crackers which was $28 the board itself was very cute and decorated nicely. Overall, this place can be pricey but I was there to hang out, explore their menu and drink so it worked out for me in the end.

They have a lovely place with wagyu cows, chickens, goats, etc as well as a BEAUTIFUL view of Ojai. Tour starts with looking at grapes growing on the vines, followed by walk into bottling / storage area, followed by tasting wines in their stunning backyard area. Others on the tour brought small charcuterie board ingredients and shared with everyone - would recommend bringing some light snacks for the tasting portion. Tour included about 10-12 people total and was completely free (!!) in hopes of attendees buying wine bottles at the end (which was fairly priced and very good - our group of 3 got 4 bottles for $120 total.) The owners are celebrating the lost art of breaking bread and sharing time and stories with strangers over wine - felt like something that you'd find in Italy. I didn't really know what to expect since there weren't a ton of reviews for this, but my group (2 adult sisters + our mom) really loved the concept of this entire experience. It's not a typical wine tasting where they give you 5 wines and leave you be at a table, so wouldn't go here if that's what you're looking for. But if you're looking for a unique, less touristy experience, this is an amazing place to learn more about the history of wine in the region directly from wine-makers, stroll around a beautiful vineyard, and connect with others in Ojai enjoying the same things. Cannot say enough positive things about Bob + his wife. Highly recommend this!!
