I discovered Blue Door winery about a decade ago during one of our many Julian adventure days. It was a particularly warm winter day and their "sangria this way " sign caught my eye. Wonderful friendly owners and I always feel like I'm treated like an old family friend. It is now a mandatory stop any time we find ourselves in Julian. Lots of outdoor seating in a courtyard shared with other small, local businesses (including my beloved Crow and Lilac!), and likely you'll be greeted by their employee of the month: Ollie (the sweetest dog) Happy to be a wine club member and with the drive to Julian (and their newer tasting room in Ramona) read more

We discovered this lovely place to sit and have a drink (and bring in snacks if you'd like), where they make Red Wines, Sangria and have THE most delicious cider that tastes like drinking a crisp sweet apple! We had one cider the first day, two the next, and before leaving Julian returned to take Growlers home :D Needless to say, we were in love with this cider! read more

Can't recommend Blue Door Winery enough. The owner was super sweet and welcoming. Her dog, Oliver was a total sweetheart as well as he sat right on top of our laps. The sangria & cider was easily the best I've had. The sangria is so juicy and the cider is so fresh and crisp. Both are a treat. The prices are really fair and the service is an A+. You will feel like at home and have something amazing to drink. Can't recommend the sangria, cider, or a wine tasting enough. read more

Little boutique winery nestled in the heart of Julian. The service was excellent, the gal working provided great recommendations on the wine they serve there. Super chill vibe, we went on a random Thursday so it was not too busy. They have a little patio where you can sit and enjoy your wine, you can also bring your own food and snack to enjoy. Since this is considered a boutique winery, their prices are a bit on the high end ($18-$20) for 1 glass of wine. We opted for the house made sangria It was so good, super refreshing on a hot summer day. read more

Stopped at Julian for the day and my girlfriend and I found this hidden gem off the Main Street. The whole experience of this place was delightful, the owners mark and Cameron are so friendly and we ordered a wine flight and he broke down the notes and wine down to the key. I was very impressed and I will definitely be back! read more

This is a cool little wine tasting shop just off the main drag of Julian. We were walking along on a hot day and spotted a sign for sangria which lured us in. We sat outside at a table under shade and while my wife had the sangria I had a glass of one of their reds; a sangiovese. Mine had strong fruit and vegetable notes which I really loved. The owners were exceptionally friendly and we enjoyed their handsome, friendly dog Ollie who is a real sweetheart. If you like wine make sure you make this a stop when you visit Julian. read more

This place was really good! The girl from Hawaii that work there was very knowledgeable and gave good information on the wine! It was such a popular place that they only had two left and then the sangria. This sangria was vicious far better than I was expecting! The cuvee are very fruity. I really liked the sangria! I would venture to say it was probably the better ones I've had anywhere. read more

We came in right at closing and the lady was so sweet, offering to pour us all a glass of sangria before she closed up! Sangria was amazing and the place is so so cute, 10/10 recommend! read more

This is a perfect escape from the craziness of Main St. The couple running the place are fun and friendly, and they made our visit even better. The patio has a few tables in the shade, and a few umbrella covered picnic tables in the courtyard. We tried a delicious cup of sangria. It was so good we got a growler to go. Highly recommend stopping in when you're in town. read more

Wine in the mountains anyone? This adorable barn style winery was located directly across the street from our hotel so we couldn't resist. Strict COVID restrictions didn't allow wine tasting and they only had sangria available so we didn't have a choice as to what to get. The sangria was good. What makes it taste better is that you get to enjoy it at a higher elevation and everything is better that way. The lady behind the counter wasn't friendly and seemed to be having a bad day. Maybe it had something to do with businesses being forced to shut down again in CA? Not sure but didn't let her mood stop us from enjoying ourselves. We grabbed our drinks and took them to our own patio across the street. This winery does offer some outdoor seating on a cute patio and it's dog friendly. read more

Blue Door Winery - Sangria with a view! - Wineries Near Me - Julian, California

If you like Sangria this is a great please to stop and end your day of wine tasting and exploring the town of Julian.

Cute little outpost for the winery which has its main location in central SD in the BayHo neighborhood. The owners were on staff the day we went in, and were super helpful and accommodating to our large group. They turned on the outdoor heater and we enjoyed a round of sangria on the patio. A great stop for a drink between shopping or eating pie. read more

Sorry BDW, but when the wine host is sweating and complaining about the fact that the uninsulated tin roof makes it like an oven it's hard to focus on hint of plumbs. That said I will say the Sangria was pretty, pretty good. So swing in and grab a red cup full. There's also a dog that works there. Little advice Blue Door Winery, but ambiance and design shouldn't come at the cost of turning the customers into Hot Pockets. By the way what does family owned have to do with anything. I'll tell you, it means that staff is comfortable enough to point out that the tin roof turns the place into an oven in the summer and Freezer in the winter. Garage winery? Sure in the 60's you know when they didn't have central heat and air. I'm surprised they still don't use the technology? Oh they do it's called imitation and it's insulated aluminum. read more

My girlfriends usually get the flight tasting or the sangria (which I am told is fantastic). I get a nonalcoholic drink which are few and far between (Hansen's sodas and water). There are some tables inside and a few more outside. If the weather is nice, sitting outside is very pleasant. A few doggies wandering around, kicking back with your wine or sangria, made for a perfect day. read more

Lovely urban winery in Julian and oh SO dog friendly! The wonderful lady who worked here last Thursday morning was so wonderful, she took exceptional care of us and i purchased a bottle of the cab franc to take home. The sangria does not contain brandy but it is still very tasty, i enjoyed the tasting (all reds), grapes are sourced from different regions and i very much enjoyed discussing wine with the nice woman whose name escapes me at the moment but i cannot wait to return and pay them another visit. One of my dogs recently passed and walking in here was almost therapeutic, the owners love dogs, there are pics of dogs on the walls, it was heart warming, i had no idea i would end up here that day but somehow i did and my heart was happy. read more

I like this place. Great vibe. Right across the street from the Gold Rush B&B where I was stayin. Place is run by a married couple, Marc and Kameron. Beautiful pair of people. I did the wine tasting and Marc ran through each description perfectly. He encouraged me to take my time and enjoy each one. When I was done, I had a cup of their ever so popular sangria. They provide an incredible environment. If you don't mind the fact they don't do white wines (only reds), this is a great nugget on Main Street in Julian. Marc and Kameron make it really easy to make someone wanna come back, even if it is a 110mi drive. They know how to make everyone feel welcome when they come in and feel just at home here. Thank you both. You both made my experience there great! read more

Just recently visited Julian, we stopped in for a wine tasting & bought 1 bottle of each of their wines after. About a week later we opened a bottle to enjoy with dinner and the cork was loose. The wine was bad from not being properly sealed. It's a dark brown color and you can tell the cork was put in like a week ago. So we opened a 2nd bottle of theirs to see if it was the same and it was even worse. Not at all what they are pouring for you at the tasting. Don't waste your money- bait & switch read more
