The view itself made me want to start singing 'Cielito Lindo', not because I wanted Mexican food, but because in Spanish it means 'lovely heavens'. THE BARN at CIELO FARMS is just that, the breathtaking views while sipping and having a bite are memorable. When in Malibu, do as the celebrities and Malibutians do, head on over here to THE BARN at CIELO FARMS, you will be glad you did. When visiting or making reservations this is helpful. Friday-Sunday: Full food menu available. Monday-Thursday: Limited menu The venue operates on a reservation-only basis for both members and non-members.

Came here for a wedding, and honestly, wow. It was a bit of a drive for us to get out to Malibu,…read morebut the second you step onto the property, you feel like you've been transported to a completely different world. The landscaping, the lush plants, and the rolling vineyard scenery are just stunning. The layout for the wedding ceremony was perfect as everything was set up overlooking the Malibu canyon and the grapevines. We caught the sunset during the reception, and it was pure magic. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Valet parking was smooth and efficient, and the bar was fully stocked with bartenders who actually kept the line moving fast. The sound system was great too (no awkward mic feedback or muffled music), and once the sun went down and the temperature dropped, they had fire pits going to keep everyone warm and cozy. Such a beautiful, well-run hidden place. If you get invited to an event here, absolutely go!

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.

I loved that…read morethey didn't require any sort of deposit or fee to book the reservation and I particularly LOVED that parking here is free. I found that a lot of the other wineries in Malibu charged to book the reservation and most charged $20-25 for parking, so the free parking alone made me jump to book this place. I didn't want all of my friends to have to drive such a long way AND pay for parking! The space is different than what the old Rosenthal winery used to be, but it's actually more intimate and nicer! Apparently this is where they used to host VIPs before the fire, so it feels like a more exclusive space. The entrance feels quite sudden and easy to miss while driving, but you enter a small driveway after confirming the reservation name with the guard, and then drive along a beautiful road until you hit the entrance. Such a beautiful drive in! There were tables set up for everyone and it's not overly crowded which is nice. They even had live music (they were great!). They had a pretty decent wine list, whites, reds, roses, sweet, bubbly, but no non-alcoholic wines for those curious. They don't serve any food which feels like a bummer at first, but they do allow you to bring any and all food and non-alcoholic beverages you want. So it's essentially like a picnic but at a nice winery. We had plenty of snacks and bites so we were just fine, and they were ok with my bottle of non-alcoholic bubbly wine. We had a great time here! Perfect for celebrations! They still have their fun big blue wooden chair too which is perfect for pics.

Great ambiance, quiet, casual, you're encouraged ahead of time to bring your own picnic snacks and food as they do not sell anything on site. Live band that day was fun to listen to, small variety of wines to select for purchase by the glass or bottle consumed on site or taken home. Nice day time getaway

Wine bar inside Fred Segal at Malibu Country Mart. Nice selection of Santa Barbara county wines.read more

"There's still a Fred Segal?!?"…read more Because last I heard, they were all closed. So my curiosity got the best part of me and asked Hubbers if we can take a look around. He agreed. This ended up being a stop for him! I'm guessing they're still in the process of transitioning from Fred Segal to the now Summer Somewhere Wines stop. So.... Im not a wine fiend, but Hubbers is. He asked if we could just hangout here for a bit to try a white. "Of course!" I tell him. Marquis was our server and I gotta say, off the bat he was sooooooo friendly and welcoming. He answered all of Hubbers' questions regarding their products until he finally decided on one. I asked for water as I got parched from all the walking we did prior to coming through. Marquis checked on us after awhile, and he dreaded the fact he forgot to bring me my water. He felt really bad, I told him it wasn't a big deal and to bring me one when he got the chance. He did me one better and comp'd it for me. Sweet! It really was a good 20-minute chill. Hubbers enjoyed his sips, I enjoyed people watching as I sipped through my water and Marquis made the experience much better. Great first run!

Hidden in a foggy canyon near Malibu, Cornell Wine Company looks like an Old West movie set, which…read moremakes 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.

What brought me here on a beautiful Sunday afternoon was an event hosted by my alma mater for alumni. Mr. Semler, also alum, treated us to safari ride, delicious wines ('11 cabernet sauvignon my favorite), food from The Habit, live music, and interaction with the animals. Here also resides a celebrity known as Stanley, the giraffe on Hangover 3. I was able to take a selfie with him! Sweet big guy. The scenery is breathtaking! The estate is gorgeous, clean, and very well maintained. All of the wine was superb and I mentioned my favorite already. I highly recommend coming here for the safari exploration and wine tasting. An unforgettable time!

If you get a table by the window, the ocean view is beautiful and makes the atmosphere very pleasant. The food was okay - nothing bad, but also nothing really special or memorable.

They were quite uncomfortable, especially if you want to sit and enjoy your meal for a longer time.

From the moment you arrive, you feel transported -- like you've stepped into the middle of an enchanted forest. The setting is exquisite and utterly peaceful, with birdsong in the background and, in our case, the most gorgeous, healthy-looking coyote casually trotting by the creek our outdoor table was overlooking mid-dinner. Even the wildlife knows this place is special. We started with the marinated olives and the house bread served with fennel butter -- a combination that set the tone perfectly. The fennel butter alone is worth the trip -- it is unique and very tasty -- their bread is made in house and DELICIOUS. I had the pomegranate spritzer mocktail, which was refreshingly light and not too sweet -- ideal for sipping through a long, leisurely dinner. For wine lovers, they carry half bottles, which is a lovely touch. We had a 2016 Bordeaux that was honestly one of the best wines either of us has ever tasted. On to the food -- the vegan soup (Charred Leek & Potato) was a wonderful starter (perfectly seasoned), and for my main I had the scallops, which were beautifully portioned and seasoned as well. My friend ordered the braised short rib and said it was phenomenal. Note on the Creamy Polenta -- SMOOTHEST most DELICIOUS polenta ever. But the MVP of the evening was our server, Brian. Confident, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible meal. When we asked for a dessert recommendation he didn't hesitate -- banana bread pudding -- and he was absolutely right. Don't skip it. The couple next to us had the Mushroom Truffle Risotto which they raved about. Inn of the Seventh Ray is one of those rare places that nourishes you on every level. We'll be back.... SOON. We left totally blissed out from the whole experience. We recommend sitting outside -- it's just so soothing and special to sit creekside and be able to see and listen to all that wildlife. Heaters are there if you get chilly, but we were 100% comfortable. Also, side note on the darling store on-site -- called the Spiral Staircase. They sell books, crystals, gift-like items and it's a treat to walk through there and check everything out. And there's a wine store on-site too with a great selection.
