It's really that lovely. *They encourage celebrations there with nice seating areas.

We love doing a tasting because there are so many great options. They also have snack options and charcuterie! They allow children in certain areas (which we greatly appreciate). The outdoor area is so beautiful. There's a cute retro Western barn area and a pretty garden on the other side. We've never been here for it, but it looks like they have live music and events sometimes too. I definitely recommend this winery!

I love that snow line has a ton of parking options and a beautiful shop to browse with everything from hot apple cider donuts, two wines and more preserves than you could ever imagine! Literally off the beaten path you can sample apple cider as well as their fun berry variations. The apple pie is absolutely massive if you decide to get one and take it home! I highly recommend grabbing yourself a bite and sitting beneath the trees outside to soak in the peaceful vibes!

We ordered all 3 beer flights from the menu, I liked the more sweeter and fruity beers and my husband liked the more balanced ones. They even have wines, the cherry wine was incredible and we brought a bottle of it home. It was totally worth the drive up here, we really enjoyed it and we will definitely be back soon.

We agreed on a set date of mid May but I decided to drop by on my own sooner than that because I just needed a drink or five to celebrate my Sunday. My personal thought? It was one of the best decision ever. I sat at the bar where I met the bartender, Omar. Omar loves his job and definitely shows it! He has a great personality and it's truly wonderful on how he engaged with all his customers. I paid $49/ month to join their basic wine club, which includes a free bottle of wine, weekly complimentary wine flights, as well as discounts to various special events. I absolutely love the fact that they offer real entrees like pasta and pizza instead of just chimichurri board. The steak tasted great and the pizza tasted just as delicious. Overall, my dining experience at Grafted Cellars was a 10/10, and I cannot wait to be back next week for my free flight!

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this winery, and it was so cozy inside. It was warm, inviting, and filled with people relaxing with a glass of wine. They also offer cheeses and charcuterie boards, and my favorite part was definitely the live music. I loved the duo performing at the front, it created such a great atmosphere. The space also sells a variety of other items like jewelry, cards, and antique pieces. They're definitely on the pricier side, but everything is really high-quality. Overall, I just loved the vibe here. The winery is super spacious, and if you're ever around the area, it's definitely worth stopping by. Grab a glass of wine, some cheeses, and just sit back and enjoy. There were quite a few people on this Saturday afternoon, and the energy and atmosphere made the whole experience even better.

Pretty view of the hills, trees, hummingbirds and butterflies around. It's lovely. The best part of this place is the ambiance, the beautiful views and spacious outside can't be beat. Unfortunately, if it's a rainy weekend, this place will be closed because because all of the seating is pretty much outside. But when it's nice outside, and in SoCal, it's usually nice outside, this place is wonderful. I was really happy watching all the butterflies flitting about. Service is also really nice. Just go up to the bar and put in your order, they'll get to it asap. There's water around for you to grab if you're thirsty. But if you want more drinks, just go back up to the bar. My friend actually got sick on my last visit here (not alcohol related - health issues) and the bartender was so nice to us and understanding - we paid up and left right away when it happened. Def made me feel welcome to come back again. It was something not in anyone's control, and she knew that and understood it, and was really amazing. The minus star I give is honestly because the wine is a bit meh (I got a bottle of the sparkling wine). One, it's just not the best taste wise even when you add some orange juice, but the biggest thing is it's always warm when they hand it to you. I would raise it this star if they just served it actually cold - doesn't need to be the best wine, just cold would be nice. I might bring some ice in a pack with me next time actually lol. If it was cold, I think it would be way better. I haven't tried the pizza place here, but it's on my list for the next time I come up here. Overall, loved the ambiance and service. And that will always make me come back.

We were first introduced to one another by the previous owners, Mary and Jim, during one of their events--little did we know those introductions would grow into lifelong friendships. Over the years, our Wednesday Wine Nights became a tradition we all cherished. When we learned that the shop was going up for sale, we were understandably nervous. We wondered what would happen if it didn't sell--where would we go? And if it did sell, what if the new owners changed the shop in ways we didn't love? What if we didn't connect with them the way we had with Mary and Jim, who had become family to us? Then it happened, the shop sold. We were introduced to Maria and Veronica, and it was truly love at first meeting. They are two of the kindest, most welcoming women, and they have brought fresh ideas and wonderful energy to the shop. Our Wednesday Wine Nights continue today, and we are grateful to have gained new friends in Maria, Veronica, and their families, who help run this warm, family-operated business. The Third Street Wine Shop remains a place where you are welcomed the moment you walk in--where the owners make you feel like you're their only guests. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a tasting, a glass, or a bottle of exceptional wine, paired with one of their beautiful charcuterie boards or other delicious snacks. And for those who prefer beer, they offer a great selection of local craft options as well. We hope to see you there soon!

You can tell this team takes pride in what they do. The wine tasting was beautifully curated, and the staff did such a great job walking us through each pour, sharing helpful details, and making the whole experience feel relaxed but still elevated. Every question we had was answered with ease, and the pacing was spot-on. Dinner was just as impressive. Our table shared the chicken, steak, and salmon, and every single dish was outstanding. The chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the steak was tender and rich, and the salmon was beautifully prepared--fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. Sharing everything family-style made it even better because we got to try a little of everything, and honestly, there wasn't a single miss. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. We felt genuinely taken care of the entire evening, and it made the night feel special. This is the kind of service and dining experience that makes you want to come back immediately--and bring friends. Highly recommend for a wine tasting, date night, or special occasion. We'll absolutely be back.

Located adjacent to Native Son, Raffael's is a step into a…read moreSouthwestern vibe where guests can relax with their drinks away from the lively atmosphere of HCM. One of the coolest things about a speakeasy is the transition into the space. Here, there's a walkway and corner, then turn into the candle and subtle lit space. It's a small thing? But that bit of walk helps distance the mind and feel open to the special space. There is a bar with seating, a long high top, and bench & table booth-ish type seating. The colors are warm, reminiscent of sitting in a western sunset. Music plays - jazzy, alternative, happy music. We were greeted and seated by the friendly hostess, then welcomed warmly by the magic maker himself: the bartender! And what delightfully unique, and dare I say daring, concoctions he made! The cocktails each had a spin, an ingredient, something *different* from the norm, making it challenging for my friend and I to narrow down which delights to try! Even the popcorn was unique, with chili and nutritional yeast savoriness that was the perfect complement to our cocktails. My friend felt the Silver Cloud was quite the adult version of a smoothie dessert! She got ideas...I adored my Last Word. It was refreshing with the green chartreuse and incredibly not-put-down-able. Next up, she had the Bandolier. It was a very unique taste to her, pretty puckery, so the bartender - who checked on us regularly for impressions - added a bit more pineapple. That did the trick! My next was the Boulevardier, which was uniquely and deliciously twisted with the coffee and salt. Absolute yum!!! Even though there's a 90 minute limit, on this Thursday night there was plenty of space between imbibers, and we weren't pressured in any way to move along. Thank you, as we were due for a proper catch up. One thing we did notice, is that once there were more folks chatting and laughing, it became a bit echo-y and harder to hear. On a busier night, I imagine the ambience we first experienced- quieter, mellow, chill vibe - likely changes to more robust and lively. Either way, this place is a feels-far-away retreat worth "traveling" to.

Be aware that you may want to use the restroom prior to entering. If you have to use the restroom while inside, you'll have to exit outside and walk back into the market space to use one.

This will be our go to local cocktail bar from now on.
