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.

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.

Which winery have you seen that charges you double their retail price when you want to have their wine at their so called "winery". Their bottles that range around $100 (quality of a $10 wine), are being charged at $250 and $300 per bottle. Their servers took more than 45 minutes to bring us our first bottles and we had to get our own glasses because the girl was under trained not even knowing their own wines. It is an absolute beautiful place with the most stunning views of Malibu mountains. I will never go back!

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.

First visit to this beautiful property in the mountains above the Malibu coast. Looks like this was…read morehorse stable property at one time, but now they have covered tables outside the stables and scattered throughout the oak tree covered property. Reservations are recommended, but not 100% necessary. Live music on weekends (check their website). No food is sold, so you're welcome to bring your own snacks/picnics. NOTE: 20% gratuity added to all parties of 6 of more. WINE: Carly poured for us and the service was excellent. However, on the day we visited, they were super busy and understaffed, so they were only offering wines by-the-glass and bottles, no tasting flights. Lots of varietals to choose from. We felt that the wines were well-made and "okay", but others really enjoyed them. As I always say, wine tasting is very subjective to an individual's palate, so you should give them a try for yourselves. We ordered glasses of their NV Surfrider Sparkling Moscato ($18), a 2020 RME Chardonnay ($18), a 2020 Petite Verdot ($20), and a 2018 Block M Cabernet Sauvignon ($25). I felt that the prices for the glasses were a little on the high side, but the pours were generous. We ended up purchasing a bottle of their 2020 G Petit Verdot ($53) to take home. Overall, we enjoyed the live music from Ocean Park Sound System (a 70's funk band) and some nice estate and sourced fruit wines. Would recommend that you check them out if you're looking for a pleasant wine experience.

However, if you leave within two hours of entering the parking garage, parking is free. After parking, simply follow the signs to the main entrance. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with stunning views from the upper levels. There are plenty of fascinating artifacts and exhibits to explore, and the villa has many rooms to wander through, so plan to spend a few hours if you want to see everything. There is also a charming café and a gift shop. The gift shop has a lovely selection of unique jewelry, especially earrings, that are worth checking out.

Absolutely loved the Getty Villa…read more Half a century ago, J. Paul Getty rebuilt this Roman-style villa on the Malibu coast, inspired by the ancient Villa of the Papyri, to showcase his collection of Greek and Roman antiquities. The architecture is beautiful -- Roman frescoes, marble columns, peaceful gardens, and sculptures throughout the villa make you feel like you've stepped back in time. The cliffside location is also incredible, especially around sunset when you can enjoy the view of the Pacific with California's golden sky. What I love most is how calm and timeless this place feels. The architecture and the collection are elegant, understated, and never overwhelming. Admission is free (reservation required), and parking is $25 per vehicle. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Malibu or looking for a peaceful cultural experience.

Deeply Disappointing Experience After Reopening…read more My husband and I were excited to finally try the newly reopened restaurant at Campos Ranch, especially after it being members-only for several years. Unfortunately, booking a table here turned out to be a regrettable decision. Shortly after we were seated, a table of approximately ten children--ranging from toddlers to early elementary age--was placed nearby with no adult supervision at the table. Their parents were seated separately and appeared completely disengaged from what was happening. The result was nonstop chaos: children jumping on chairs, rolling on the floor, fighting at the table, and shouting throughout the dining room. At no point did any parent intervene. To be clear, this is not about children being present. It's about adults failing to manage their children in a shared public space--and, more importantly, about restaurant management allowing this behavior to continue unchecked. It showed a profound lack of consideration for the other guests who, like us, paid full price for what is supposed to be a quality dining experience. What made this especially frustrating was the complete absence of intervention from staff or management. Allowing one table to completely disrupt the dining room is disrespectful to every other guest. A restaurant--particularly one positioning itself as an elevated destination--has a responsibility to set and enforce basic standards of conduct. Overall, the evening left us feeling that courtesy, consideration, and basic dining-room etiquette were not priorities here. I strongly encourage management to rethink how situations like this are handled, because no guest should have their experience ruined by unchecked behavior at another table.
