The Cider!
Michelle M.

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!

What an amazing place filled with such KIND workers!! The ambiance is so relaxing and very dog friendly! The sangria and blackberry cider are SO DELICIOUS!! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good time!

A quick stop for a wine refill before dinner. Great deals and a warm, cozy atmosphere! They have 3 Linda of wine for wine tasting, 5 pours for $20. We also tried the sangria and blueberry cider. Parking is street parking and availability is depends on the day of the week. A privately owned. Owner and his wife were the one running the place and helping customers.

Had to get a growler too

Absolutely the BEST sangria EVER! The owners Cameron and Mark and Oliver the mascot were the BEST!!! Super nice people! We hung out here quite a bit ! We spent a lot of our down time chillin' here. A nice and relaxing place with a chill vibe. Down to earth, mixed with greatness! Cameron even let our pups enjoy some organic chicken breast along with their adorable mascot Oliver! Katie is a doll! All super cool and sweet!! Highly recommend!!!

* winery spot *friendly service * friendly ambiance Small cozy spot with tables and heater outside. They have a great sangria! We love coming here for the sangria but also have other options. Also must try the hot spiced mulled it's amazing.The customer service is so friendly. We loved Cameron she was super helpful and outgoing.

Cute cozy spot with fantastic customer service! I always get their sangria when I visit.

Patio seating to enjoy your wine

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.

I love coming here for sangria whenever I visit Julian. This winery tasting room is very cozy. My girlfriends and I sat at a table by the fireplace. The owners are very friendly and they have an adorable dog there.

Really cute spot in Julian! Wine tasting room with a little fireplace in the corner, which is perfect for chilly days/nights!

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.

Sangria
Tabitha H.

The previous reviews didn't steer me wrong! The sangria was delicious! It was super quiet and chill tucked back here behind Main Street. It was a pleasant afternoon with my cold drink and sunshine. The woman working was smiley and chatty.

Denise A.

Great service, , the owners are great! The sangria! Omg is amazing, try apple cider honey crisp. Try everything

Wine tasting

This place is adorable and the wine is amazing! They make all their wines. We did the wine tasting flight but they are also famous for their sangria. The owners are lovely people with a great little sidekick, Ollie (terrier). 100% recommend.

It's Friday

Ask the Community - Blue Door Winery

Is this Pet friendly?

Definitely

Do they take reservations? And how busy does it get on a Saturday in January?

The hostess said Saturday's are VERY busy and the owners themselves handle the tastings. No reservations so come early!

Stopped by Volcan winery on a very hot Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy inside, luckily…read morethere was some shaded seating outside. Tried a bottle of their Chardonnay and it was very refreshing and crisp. The inside area is pretty loud, the employees are all attentive and helpful.

Great Vibe... The Wine, Not So Much…read more After escaping the Grape Stomp Festa , we stopped at Volcan Mountain Winery, and honestly, the tasting room was a much better experience. The atmosphere is really nice--very chill and relaxing, with friendly and welcoming staff. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy the scenery, and hang out for a while. One of the coolest things is the location right next to the Volcan apple farm. There are apple trees everywhere, which really gives you that Julian fall experience. We were even able to pick a few apples, which ended up being one of the highlights of the day. Now... let's talk about the wine. Maybe Temecula Valley has spoiled me, but these wines just weren't doing it for me. We tried several, and unfortunately, they tasted pretty cheap compared to what I'm used to drinking in Temecula. Nothing really stood out enough to make me want to take a bottle home. Basically, I liked the winery more than I liked the wine. Would I come back for the chill atmosphere, friendly staff, apple-country scenery and overall vibe? Absolutely. Would I make the drive specifically for the wine? Probably not. Vibe: 9/10 Staff: 10/10 Location: 10/10 Wine: 4/10 Overall, it's a cool stop when you're in Julian--especially during apple season. Come for the vibe and the scenery... just don't expect Temecula Valley-level wine.

She went over all the ciders with us, answering any questions we had. She was very knowledgeable and really, I think we enjoyed the tasting all the more for her insight and great conversation. Folks continued to stop in. We could tell that on the weekend, this place would certainly fill up! And...why decide between two sample flights when we can share both?! Each cider was truly different from one another, so the tastings were quite the palate journey. Of course we had our favorites, but really, all were tasty and went down easily. In addition to bar seating, there are booths inside and lovely outdoor seating. There is definitely a show of pride and gratitude for the fire and police departments here, particularly fire, given their profound and tragic history with wildfires. Homage is given through pictures, patches, and memorabilia. Merch is for sale here, as well as cold bottled ciders to go. A really enjoyable way to spend some time before proceeding into town!

I love the "Field Blend" which is Classico Calico Style Cider -- Estate Apples. It's basically just apples fermented over a long time. It has a similar flavor profile as orange wine, which I usually drink=just white grapes w the skins on, and fermented. ALL NATURAL! These styles have a. little funky taste, which I love. But this is what natural ciders, wines and beers taste like. Anyways, I love this spot. The staff are so friendly and down to earth. Dog friendly. Apple orchard you can walk through. Card games. Will come back!!!!

This place is stunning & gives perfect fall Julian vibes…read more We stopped by on our way out of town after a day of apple-everything, craving one more apple-something to take home. Cue, hard apple cider! The growler is the best value by far, so we sampled a lil of everything before settling on a fav. We were kind of in and out, but this will definitely be a hang spot in future visits. With tables in their orchard, this is a great place to drink with friends & relax. Love that they serve regular apple cider too. Bonus star for the cutie moo cow across the street! She was so friendly and people curious, moo'ing with the kids over and over while waiting for our growler.

It feels like you are tasting in the corner of someone's garage. It's small- very close quarters.

I can't imagine there being other guests in there at the same time. The wines were an interesting selection, but nothing to knock anyone's socks off.

This awkward little space wasn't the problem for me. I was served my first flat hard cider serving in a filthy glass. I kindly asked for a clean glass which I was given with an apology. There was food reminents on the tasting counter, so I had to try to avoid putting my arms down. The place was just not clean. I didn't enjoy anything I tasted until I tried their passion fruit sangria. It was quite tasty and refreshing. If you bought the bottle of passion fruit wine, the recipe came with. The pourer was so kind and lovely to talk to, she was the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, I would not revisit this "cellar".
