    The wine was amazing. They helped me pick out the right one. The wine did not give me a headache, but a lot of other wines at other places do, The KO taco truck was an added treat! A lot of my friends showed up. Full house! My husband was playing guitar on stage. The servers were very kind & attentive. We hope to be back soon!

    Amazing server Love the food!!!!! Drinks is fabulous Vibe is amazing and cozy Would love to take whole group of friends here next time!!!!

    We hosted my husband's military retirement celebration at Four Brix Winery and were absolutely thrilled with the venue. Karen was a shining star with the planning process. On the day of the event, we were grateful to have Tyler and Prescott by our side the entire night, ensuring everything ran seamlessly and that everyone savored the delicious wine. Thank you Four Brix Winery & Tasting Room!

    A fun space with music on Friday and Saturday nights, we were invited to a private party on a weeknight, with our own DJ in the large back space. The server at the front bar poured a very nice zinfandel along with three other wines, plus four flavors of hard cider, as well as beer on tap.

    Our first pour with Michelle.

    We just happened to stop in on the weekend they were celebrating their 10th anniversary. It was a lively crowd, with live music in their barrel room. We opted to sit in the front tasting room and had a wonderful time. There were a couple of high-top bar tables up front and then a whole lotta tables in the barrel room (not sure if this is always set up this way, or just for the anniversary). SERVICE, WINES, & FOOD: Michelle poured for us and was super sweet and very efficient, especially given how busy it was. Tastings are currently $15 per flight of five wines. We tried one white/rosé and four reds. We also tried a flight of the ciders from Pier City Ciders. Not experienced with ciders, but I enjoyed these more than the wines. They sell snack items like cheese and charcuterie boards. We ordered a pepperoni and black olive pizza which was okay. We thought the sauce was a little too tomatoey/acidic. TIP: $15 for two tastings with Yelp check in. Overall, a fun experience and I would probably return for the ciders. Wines are subjective to an individual's taste and these just weren't in our wheelhouse but give them a try. You may like them.

    I found this winery on Yelp and we decided to go. Glad we did! It's a nice quint winery which offers tasting of both wine and cider. I must admit the cider was delicious. So much so that I bought some to take home. We walked in and right away we were greeted with a smile and welcome. We were seated and proceeded to taste the wine. The prices are very reasonable. They also have membership and lots of activities that go on at the winery. That night they were having a disco party with music, food and wine. Looks like a place I'd frequent regularly if I lived close by. All in all a very fun experience and I will be going back when I'm in the area.

    Frank and Joe are performing on Mother's Day. It was a beautiful set.

    If I could give 10 stars, I easily would!!!! Thank you Michelle & Four Brix Winery for a wonderful Saturday filled with great wine & amazing service! I emailed them on Friday to see if they could accommodate my group of 8 for a very last minute birthday celebration. The response was super fast & I was thrilled my group could be accommodated so last minute. On the day of, we hit some traffic & ran 30 minutes late as a result. We called the winery & again, they were more than accommodating. When we got there, they had a table & chairs set up for my group. There was WONDERFUL live music playing & a delicious pizza truck on the premises. The pizza was SO DELICIOUS. Our group got some wine flights & cider flights. All of their wines were so delicious & the ciders were amazing as well! Michelle was so wonderful - she kept checking on our group, making sure we were having a great time & enjoying our wines. Everyone who worked here was just so friendly & wonderful. I can say it won't be our first visit! Can't wait to be back soon!

    2017 Pinot Noir

    Came across this winery as the top rated winery when we were in the Oxnard area. We didn't know we would get to experience a live band and it was really cool. They had wine tasting at the tables and the only problem was not having a container to dump wine or offering new glasses. I don't want to drink the remaining particles that wine leaves behind (9/10). The pizza came out really quickly and tasted good (8/10). The restrooms were really nice and clean (10/10). The staff was not wearing masks.

    Had a really nice time at Four Brix today. Tyler was a great guide as we enjoyed flights of their wines and ciders. We especially loved the 2017 Pinot Noir with grapes from Sta. Rita Hills. We also loved the 2014 Scosso with grapes from Paso Robles and a lovely blend of 64% Sangiovese, 26% Cab Sauv & 10% Merlot toast will pair nicely with a range of foods. The Viognier and ciders were all way too sweet for my taste, as I prefer a medium sweet-to-dry palate and finish, but anyone who likes sweeter wines and spirits would love them. The cider could also use more effervescence to help with the finish. They had snacks that we didn't eat and a nice selection of locally made jewelry and handicrafts. I'd come back, especially when a band is playing, for the lovely atmosphere and selection.

    Tasting: $15 (return flight $9, because sometimes one flight is not enough)…read more Wonderful wines and awesome customer service sum up what this family owned/operated winery is all about. Two sisters (Elissa & Holly) married two brothers (Matt & Mike) and started this weekend project which has turned into quite a fun weekend escape. Elissa and her father, Walt, are usually manning the tasting room and are the most gracious hosts. It's a quaint, boutique winery and tasting room, which recently joined forces with the folks from Trois le Fou Winery. They each have their own tasting rooms, but they're joined and share a large production/barrel room area, which is also available for private events in addition to scheduled events and live music/comedy. They don't offer food, but you are welcome to bring in your own snacks/charcuterie. Parking is plentiful, as the business park is mostly closed on the weekends. WINES: Their wines change regularly, as they purchase their fruit from Paso Robles, Lodi, and San Antonio Valley, among other places. I think that their Sauvignon Blanc is a standard and we really enjoy it, but they also do a nice Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Malbec, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their "Speakeasy Wine Club" offers three levels of membership: "Blind Grape (6/yr)", "Bootlegger (12/yr)", and "Last Call (18/yr)", depending on the number of bottles you want per shipment/pick-up. Bottles currently run in the $38 - $50 range (before club member discounts). We love visiting the Lester Cellars family and highly recommend you stop in and check out their latest vintages. The service and wine are wonderful, and I'm betting you'll enjoy yourself as much as we do.

WINES: Their wines are made in a Rhone and Bordeaux style with two club releases per year (Spring and Fall) with such varietals as Grenache, Mourvédre, Syrah, Petite Sirah, GSM blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Folle Cuvée blends, Merlot, and Merlot Reserve. It's not often that we like every single wine that we try. Their wine club offers "Looney" (4/yr), "Demented" (6/yr), and "Maniac" (12/yr) level memberships, depending on the number of bottles you want per shipment/pick-up. Bottles currently run in the $48 - $60 range (before club member discounts), but the quality and care is definitely there, so I feel they're well worth it.

    I was very sure I had written a previous review for Trois Le Fou, but it appears to be gone, so…read morehere I go again. Trois Le Fou is a great little winery in Ventura. They specialize in French varietals and produce great Bordeaux and Rhone style wines in addition to their Chardonnay. I personally enjoy all of their wines, but my very favorite is their 100% Mourvèdre. I love it, but also really enjoy their GSM, Bordeaux Blend, and Chardonnay. This winery was founded by three friends, Paul, Ada, and Tim who were crazy enough to start a winery as their second career. Therefore the name Trois Le Fou or the three fools in French. I don't think it was such a crazy idea since their wines are really good. The tasting room is not too big, but they also have a very nice barrel room with additional sitting were special events are hosted. Whenever we visit the tasting room we are always greeted by friendly faces and generous pours. Service and quality are constantly stellar at Trois Le Fou. The tasting room is located in a business park, so there is plenty of parking space. Another perk is that Lester shares their barrel room space with another boutique winery, Lester Family Cellars, so you can visit two wineries without leaving the premises! If you are in Ventura and you are looking for a great wine experience, visit Trois Le Fou. You will not be disappointed.

We were given a wine list and we were able to choose six wines to wine taste from the list. My absolute favorite wines were between the Special Reserve Merlot 2023 Alexander Valley and the Sonoma Loeb Dignitary Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma. These were both excellent and smooth, however, ALL the wines that I taste tested were phenomenal. We also ordered the garlic fries, the buffalo chicken sandwich, and the Mushroom Arancini. I personally loved the Mushroom Arancini the most, very flavorful and perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken sandwich was a good portion and easy to share. The garlic fries did not taste very garlicy to me, the creamy sauce on top I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be garlic, but I probably would just get the regular fries next time.
