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!

MIDDLE RIDGE WINERY @ IDYLLWILD…read more Parking is available in all over this town, just any street parking you find available is also free! 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.

I originally left a two star review because I thought maybe the place just had an off day. Service…read morewas flat, wine was forgettable, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Then the owner responded and opened his message with 'Dear fuckface.' That is the actual owner talking to a paying customer on a public review site. Not a random troll, not a drunk guy at the bar, the person in charge. Suddenly the mediocre service and weird vibe make perfect sense. The fish rots from the head, and this head is rotted. So yes, I am changing this to a one star because the owner decided to act like a fragile teenager with a wine license. Instead of reading feedback and fixing anything, he threw a little tantrum in the replies and proved my review was not harsh enough. If you like being insulted by a grown man who thinks calling customers names is clever, this is your spot. If you prefer professionalism, good service, and a place where the owner does not publicly embarrass himself, there are plenty of other options in Palm Springs that deserve your money more than this one.
