Storum Ranch Cider & Wine was such a fun surprise -- they have a big variety of ciders, apple wines, and traditional wines, so there's truly something for everyone. The host was amazing; we ended up chatting about dogs, wine, cider, and everything in between. Super friendly, down‑to‑earth, and genuinely excited to help us explore. We're still pretty new to cider and weren't sure what we'd like, but she guided each of us through a personalized flight, which was such a thoughtful touch -- and the pricing was amazing. She absolutely nailed our tastes and even introduced us to things we never would've picked on our own. The space is very cool with both indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of room to relax, and lots to try. It's a little outside the main part of town, but so worth the stop. We're already talking about when we can return. read more

My wife and I have been to Storum Ranch in the past and we love this place. It's a little off the beaten path from Julian, but it's well worth the drive. When you park, the building is a little unassuming. However, once you walk in, there's a fantastic little bar where you can order different ciders. We always get a flight to share and bring it outside. They have a sitting area with a pretty view. My wife swears the air is crisper there... It's relaxing. Inside they also have a wonderful selection of infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They have tasting cups and crackers to find the one you like. The cherry balsamic is a staple at our household, and we always have a rotation of at least 2 or 3 olive oils from here at any given time. Fantastic! read more

Beautiful surroundings, excellent service and delicious wines. I highly recommend sitting down and sipping a couple of glasses with family and friends as well as grabbing a couple of bottles to go. read more

Storum was a fantastic stop for some cider! We didn't try their wine but I really enjoyed their cider. Specifically the King David was my favorite but I also liked the Goldrush. They offer two different pre set flights for $10 or you can customize flights for $12. Glasses are $10 or you can do tasters for $3, this is all for ciders. The inside seating has a few nice tables and the outside looks to have a good amount as well. The location is great as you can hop around to a few wineries and it's very peaceful. Jenna was super helpful and informative on the options there. Would absolutely come back again! read more

I had a wonderful cider tasting and learned a lot about cider production. Eric was working and was super knowledgeable and generous in sharing his expertise in all things Julian! Got some great recommendations and tips. It was an awesome experience and highly recommend anyone visiting Julian to stop by Storum Ranch Cider and Wine! read more

Five Stars - A Cider with Roots and Range Storum Ranch knows how to let the fruit speak for itself--and the Newtown Pippin is proof. Wild yeast, 2018 harvest, and 9.5% ABV? Yes, please. It pours a beautiful golden hue with just the right amount of tannin and complexity. Light fruit up front, with a clean, tart apple finish that lingers in the best way. There's something timeless about this one--historic apple, modern execution. Easily my favorite on tap. read more

Found this little gem of a place just outside downtown Julian because we didn't want to stuck in the ridiculous -ness of parking and just being stuck in the mass of people. Anyway, back to the point of this review. Storum Ranch. This place is off the beaten path, but in a quiet farm / wine land. The scenery is beautiful, serene, and SLOWED DOWN. Total contrast from Main street. If that's what you're looking for then this is the place. What's special about Storum is that, other than wine, they also serve adult sodas. What are adult sodas, well, they are soda water with dark and light balsamic vinegars. You heard right. Balsamic vinegar of the sweet kind mixed with soda water, basically make a fancy version of a soda. ( It was perfect for my 8 month preggo wife). It was plus she enjoyed them. The lady t the front: I'm sure she was more than just "staff", more like a manager I would suspect, but she was super helpful and knowledgeable about the pairings of wine and balsamic vinegars and made great suggestions. Last, but not least, can't forget about the specialty infused olive oils on tap to taste. I think the next time we come, well just have to bring our on veggies, cheeses and have a grand ol' time sitting outside with lunch! I really don't want to tell you to come here because it's such a great place, but I feel like it's such a great place not to share with the community! read more

This is a new cidery and wine company in Julian. Not too far off the main road, its a nice drive thru the hills to get to it. Facilities are new and they have a small tasting room. Beside the ciders they have vinegars and showed us how with seltzer water you can make tasty drinks with them. We went home with a bottle. Thier ciders are more on the dryer side if you looking for that type. As I always say try it and see if you like it. Got to support local business!!! read more

Expecting this Vineyard and cider ranch was a little outside of Julian nestled in the mountains. They had siders from apples that are rare, they had basic mixes for wonderful shrubs. They had very nice wines. The couple that owns this branch were lovely and spent time telling us and sharing with us all the stories about the ranch and what they've developed. It was a great date. read more

What a cool place! It's a bit off the beaten path but that makes it all the more special. The team running it are very friendly and excited to share their craft with visitors. They have a massive selection of balsamic vinegars and olive oils and a small section of local honey and jarred green olives. The olives are a kind I'd never heard of, "Gordal" which are gigantic and stuffed with garlic and chili...yum! The ciders and meads we tried were high quality and so far, my favorite in Julian! Planning to go back to try their wine selection some time. It's a fun stop after a local hike! It's also dog friendly for friendly dogs, which always scores points with me! read more

The seating was great especially since it was inside and it was a very hot day. We didn't like the flavors of the hard cider but can't wait to try the wine. read more

Great "local gem" of a wine and cider place here. Yes, it is a bit outside of town, but it is a pleasent drive and a nice change from the places heavier on tourist style. Storum Ranch has a great selection of ciders and wines, most on the dryer side with slightly higher abv than you might be used you. I particularly enjoyed the apple chardonnay as a great twist on something everyone is used to. They also have a great selection of infused olive oils and vinegars, all with available tasters. Only thing I wish they had (and maybe I missed it) was some sort of pre-made or per-pacakged food to soak some of that cider and wine. Great kind of all around appeal here for me. Head on in and give them a try. read more

Hidden gem of Julian! What's better than wine tasting or cider tasting? Having wine, cider, balsamic & olive oil tasting all in one place! The balsamic tasting in seltzer was new for me and we enjoyed that more than anything. So many amazing flavors for both balsamic & olive oil, even kids enjoy. We left with several bottles of everything. The guy working there was super kind as well. Great spot to sit, sip & beat the heat. read more

Storum Ranch is a special place not far from downtown Julian. It is the first tasting room I've visited with quality wine and hard cider. And they also serve something I had never tried: Balsamic Vinegar Shrubs. The Shrubs are refreshing and delicious. If that wasn't enough to get you to ditch the weekend crowds in Julian, Bill and Pauline are delightful hosts, and they made me feel right at home. Can't wait to introduce my wife to Storum Ranch on our next trip. read more

Hannah was running the tasting room when we visited and she is delightful. She explained everything in a way that made sense but was very welcoming. The olive oil and vinegar are killer! The wine and cider are great! But the vibe is even better. Can't wait to come back! read more

Incredibly kind and welcoming owner and family with excellent cider. My partner and I stopped by on a whim and we had such an amazing time. The folks there were so kind, the atmosphere was perfect, and the cider was some of the best we've ever had, and it was all for a very reasonable price! We will definitely be coming by again, and would encourage everyone to add this to their list of places when visiting Julian! read more
