An adorable small winery located in Julian!…read more During our day trip to Julian, we stopped by Volcan Mountain Winery for a cheeky little drink. I had heard about their famed apple wine and had to check it out! We each got a glass of their 2021 Dolcezza Dulce, Estate Grown Hart Family Orchard. It's a slightly sweet apple wine produced entirely from apples from their orchard. Super crisp and light- perfect to enjoy on a sunny day!

It has this warm, rustic, family‑owned charm -- the kind of place that feels like you're hanging out in someone's backyard rather than at a commercial winery. The owners were incredibly friendly and made us feel like longtime friends. The wine selection is on the smaller side, but that actually fits the vibe -- simple, honest, very them, and totally down‑to‑earth. I love that you can grab a glass and sit wherever you like. The back patio is beautiful: breezy, shaded, and surrounded by nature. Prices were great too. It was a warm day, and the owner recommended the rosé -- great choice. Light, refreshing, and perfect for the weather. Nothing overly fancy or grand here, and honestly that's what makes it special. A sweet, relaxed Julian spot with heart, history, and genuinely kind people.

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.

My wife and I have been to Storum Ranch in the past and we love this place…read more 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!

They even brought out complimentary chocolates and homemade beautifully decorated sugar cookies to share with their guests as part of the wine trails event.

Milagro Farm is just that, a working farm with many aspects, including the winery. The tasting room, patio, and barrel room facilities have a rustic vibe, but are very nice. The staff was friendly and provides a lot of information on the various wines they offer. WINES: We shared a tasting of 5 whites and 5 reds. They have a large selection of varietals, including a Sparkling, Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Barbera, Cab Sauv, Petite Sirah, and some blends. The wines are okay, not necessarily matching my palate, but others seem to really enjoy them. I always say that with wine, what I like/dislike may differ from your palate, so I suggest that you try them out yourselves. Overall, a relaxing, enjoyable time and location.

Bernardo Winery was the perfect place to get our feet wet back in the world as new parents. Parking was stress free. The winery is very spread out so we didn't feel strange bringing our stroller and there were plenty of seat yourself options that were shaded outside.

My husband really liked his pizza that he ordered. I got the vodka rigatoni which was also pretty good. I got a mixed wine flight with some reds and whites.
