This place was amazing love their wine and beer selection and I also enjoyed their pizza very good

I visited this place for the first time last weekend. We were warmly greeted upon arrival by the owner Kelly. The wine bar was nicely decorated and clean. I enjoyed a tasting flight and we shared a bottle of the sparkling. I also had a pizza which was delicious. There was a man playing music and singing and he did a great job. I highly recommend this tasting room. read more

I was one of the initial members at Magavino when Rob and Barbara first opened up and I lived in Camarillo although cancelled after moving to Orange County. That was a mistake. The wines, tasting room and pick up parties are simply the best. I just bought another place in Camarillo and plan to become a member in the near future as the wines are simply the best and the ambiance and love is evident in their passion as winemakers. Highly recommended read more

Saw a great band (Brandon Ragan Project) last night and enjoyed the food and vino as well. Great place to unwind and start k the weekend on a Friday night. Try the Pinot noir wine, delicious.. Would highly recommend. read more

Went to Magnavino Cellars at the recommendation of a friend to taste some local context wines from california sourced grapes. The day i was there, it was a beautiful day on the patio, with a two guys playing songs that i knew. It was a fun experience, and not over crowded. There were two tasting room staff (Leah and Sally) who made sure that every one was taken care of. i definitely recommend a visit, and if you live nearby, multiple visits for a pleasant relaxing day without the drive to the vineyard. read more

*Review only for Trivia Night* Saw a fb ad about Trivia Night and decided to check it out with a friend. The place was empty and my greeting was a little awkward as they just stared at me until I pointed at the hall room and asked was this where Trivia was being held. They said yes & asked if I was with another party. I was not. The trivia night was hosted by Amanda Bonanza of King Trivia and there were 2 other plates (totaling 4). We ordered a bottle of wine and charcuterie board from the establishment and got to playing. Having played Trivia at another local spot, I've decided that either I'm not good at trivia or those questions were HARD lol Afterwards, I roamed a little and learned that this was their 3rd Trivia night hosting and the though the winery has been opened 15 years - the owners are new. So if you're looking for something to do on a Thursday night ... they host Trivia every Thursday at 630p Overall - it was decent. read more

First time at "magnavino cellars" live band, funk music dance floor on Saturday @ 1:00pm good wine, pizza, and beer. Would go back, mostly white people, no gang members. Call in advance if you're into funk music read more

When you first walk in, you feel like you're roaming through a labyrinth, hoping to finally reach your destination and drink some fine wine. You make a right, then, you see the bar filled with gracious staff, ready to pour some wine on a glass for you to enjoy. You are greeted by someone, who works there, and asks you what kind of wine you'll want. They have red, white, and sparkling wine. Leah is your charismatic wizard that can help pair a specific wine with the mood you're in. She did with me, at least. I felt anxious to know what the wines were like. I'm not a big wine drinker. You might ask, "Why are you at a wine cellar, then?" Well, the answer is my friends and the wonderful music they have during the weekends. They have bands playing there every weekend. From rock to country, from solo to a group of eight, you'll hear the rhythms of the glorious past being played in the amorous present we live in now. I recommend going to when Brandon Ragan is playing, as he draws a big crowd and will get you dancing on the smoothly-paved dance floor. The staff is wonderful and welcoming. I have never had any trouble, any of the six times I've been there. If you treat them with respect, you'll get the respect you want. It's not a one way street, where one party can be disrespectful and the other has to be respectful. The staff has been friendly with me, since the first time I arrived there with friends to listen to Midlife Crisis on a early Friday night. So, which wine is my favorite from there? My favorite one is a 2021 Butterfly Chardonnay which, to me, has a subtle, creamy taste. You grasp a semi-dry taste on your tongue, after taking the first sip of your Butterfly Chardonnay. I also like the bold, delicious Magnatude that leaves my body trembling with energy. Overall, I do recommend this place to anyone looking for a new place to grab a glass of wine with friends or even with a date. read more

Easy drinking wines and friendly, knowledgeable staff in a comfortable tasting room atmosphere and a spacious outside patio. $15/guest for a 5 pour flight tasting (waived with bottle purchase). Becky, Boo, and the rest of the staff were wonderful hostesses. Becky poured for us and even though she's only been there a month, she was so knowledgeable about all their wines, club member events, merchandise, etc. We had a wonderful time and left with five bottles of whites, reds, and dessert wines. We will return to try new releases. I recommend you visit and give their wines a try. read more

Another fun night at Magnavino last night! Great people, with the most amazing staff, good food, and delicious wines. read more

Found the staff, at least on the last visit to be rather condescending in how they spoke to us and their general demeanor. Clearly they did not want us there. And as for the wines, I find their various reds to be decent, but the whites are weak, especially the Sauv Blanc. Nice enough tasting room. Owner (met her on another occasion) seemed pleasant enough. BUT, there are places nearby that I feel do a better job in terms of their wine selection and quality, their atmosphere and people (owners and staff) in regards to being truly friendly, welcoming, lively and fun, plus I like the variety of music and other activities they have far better than Magnavino. read more

I really enjoy this winery for so many reasons! I had never been before and went with some friends for the trivia experience on Thursday and wine. We were instantly greeted with a warm welcome by Kelly and Sally. They were very knowledgeable about all the different wines and we made our first choice of the Sauvignon Blanc, which is now my favorite. It's crisp and had a very nice finish. We ordered a charcuterie board and went to the trivia area where we met the lovely and wonderful Amanda Bonanza! She's zazzy, funny and just a wonderful person. She made sure we understood the rules and had a great time! We tried the Beautiful and Butterfly which are also whites and we're very pleased with both. The Butterfly is a more mild and mellow white while the Beautiful is an in between of the Sauv and Butterfly. We have been coming for trivia ever since and I have become a member, which shows you how much we really enjoyed ourselves. David and Leah are also wonderful people and they always have a smile and warm welcome. Please come and try this winery as they have a great variety of reds, whites and 2 bruts. I have tried mostly all of the wines. The Tempranillo and Barbera are wonderful reds I have tried and look forward to trying the rest. There are more food options available now and no matter who serves you, they are friendly and really know their wines. The membership is very reasonably priced and I look forward to my first wine pick up in July. Check out the trivia nights and meet Amanda! You'll leave a better person than when you came. I highly recommend this winery! read more

I had my 70th birthday party at Magnavino this last Saturday night. A Winemakers Dinner for 20 people. It was perfect. Leah our wine sommelier helped me plan the food and wine pairings and they were spot on. Leah is a delight, her attention to detail, service and wine knowledge were excellent. Seasons Catering did the 5 course dinner and it was superb. Magnavino Cellars wines are delicious and we had 7 of them . Everything from their sparkling wine Blanc de Blanc to start, ending with their port. If you haven't discovered this hidden gem in Oxnard and you love good wine, Magnavino Cellars is the place. Also a wonderful venue in their barrel room for an event . Thank you again, Leah, Dave and Kelly. Sincerely, Joyce and Mark Linnett read more

Magnavino is my favorite place to end a long work day or enjoy music with friends and family. When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by friendly staff. Tasting room is beautifully arranged with different seating options. Hospitality and ambiance is consistently excellent. Their staff take time to discuss wine options an provide great conversation. I've been enjoying Magnavino for quite some time, from Special events, Trivia night to Live music (my favorite). Always a great time and fun place to share a bottle of wine. Thanks Magnavino Team for your consistent service and hospitality! read more

What happened to Rob and Barb? We were charter club members. We really enjoyed them. it seemed like the quality of wines had gone down since we joined. read more

First you need to consider the owners Dave and Kelly. They are absolutely absolutely wonderful wonderful people. The food is delicious. The service is 100% great ambience is the same after Friday nights going away party for one of their hosts is fabulous. They put on such a great party for her. They always have a nice band or DJ is always a place to dance, the people are fabulous and if I give them six stars, give them six stars if you try really really a great place to have an evening or Sunday afternoon even it's wonderful read more

When we joined a few months ago it seemed like a good idea. It's my second time here. Nice music. Okay to good wine. We wanted to order a sandwich, but they ran out of bread. We didn't want a charcuterie board, so we asked if they had complementary crackers. We were given four crackers, quite possibly Keepler Club crackers, for the two of us. We enjoyed our 5 tastings for a total of 5 exact ounces. The music was nice, so we decided to order a bottle of wine on the red wine list. It turned out to be a sweet/port wine. We corked it and ordered a bottle of red. It was brought to us and we served it ourselves at our table. I then noticed "certain" customers were going up to the wine bar and returning with a substantial size serving. I asked them about it and they replied their servings were free because they were members. We are members too. It seemed unfair. One of the employees saw I was upset. She seemed genuinely concerned and sat with us. I didn't want to discuss my uncomfortable feelings but the gentleman who told us they were members encouraged me to speak up. I explained to the employee what I observed and how I felt. She said the couple received larger servings because they bought a case of wine last week and bottles every time they visit. That's why they deserved larger servings. I asked her in order to receive larger servings I need to spend more money? Her tone changed. She said, " No, their pours were from a bottle they purchased ." That confused me. Why were they going to the wine bar to get their purchased wine bottle servings? She then became quite irate. She walked away. Yelling. She talked about to other customers quite loudly so that we could hear her. It was unprofessional and made everything worse. The other employee was so kind and asked how she could help. At this point, I was in tears and said I preferred to just leave. I will respect my one year membership obligation I will also respect myself and will not be returning to Magnavino . We had a pleasant time during our first visit and perhaps it was just a bad day for them (her). I hope when my husband chooses to try again they will be a bit more respectful and fair. read more

Let me begin with Robert and Barbra. As there one once said "The dynamic duo" well...I have seemed to find them. No only are they amazing at hospitality but the go above and beyond to take care of their customers. Their business skills match their exceptional quality in wine. I fell in love with the 2016 Zinfandel which brought me running across the field once tasted to the VIP booth where I was immediately introduced to them. I must say that I'm a big Zinfandel fan but then I later discovered that they also have Syrah and petite Sirah another two of my favorites. Long story short. I need it product for a menu. And I sent them my menu. I am mediately paired their wines with each course. Seven to be exact. It was an issue with the delivery carrier and they made every effort to ensure delivery before my event. I understand what five stars is in review. And these five stars are well deserved. I highly recommend that if you were going to invest yourself into a winery. Truly get to know not only the wine but the team passionately prepares the wine. Remember. We drink to be happy and enjoy and celebrate. In other words. Get to know your wine maker. read more

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The wine was very good. Service was impeccable. The decor makes you feel like you're in Tuscany had a delightful sandwich and a beautiful charcuterie board and met some amazing people, including the owners. David and Kelly had a wonderful little combo playing, we will be back many many times read more

Wine tastes are obviously extremely subjective but the wines here just didn't do it for us at all. My wife and I are experienced wine drinkers and we've had all the varietals they offer countless times from many different wineries and there was nothing here that was worth re-tasting much less purchase. The inside of the facility was much nicer than you'd guess from looking at the exterior and the tasting room associate was very nice. The decor of the place will probably impress enough people to make them think that they are drinking some better than it really is. read more

Love this winery. Love the bubbles. The staff is great. Wine is great. Events are amazing. Check them out!

Looking for something fun to do over a weekend? Look no further. This place has it all. Live music. Ambiance. Good food. Good wine. Good people. What more could you ask for? Dave and Kelly, the new owners are making it a great place to have date night or girls night/day out. Enjoy! read more

We have friends that are wine members here. So before heading back to NorCal, they brought us here for a little taste. Not used to tasting rooms in an industrial area so was a bit skeptical. Once we walked in I was blown away...absolutely gorgeous inside. They created an cozy outdoor feel indoors!! The tables are quaint and the couch area inviting!! Now the wines...feel in love with the Magnitude and the Tre Gemmé. Nice smooth the reds. Didn't want to leave...we could have stayed there all day! Thanks Andy and Judy Bloom!! read more

Best winery hands down! Everyone who works here is SO friendly and kind, and are happy to hold a good conversation.

The wine is always excellent too! We've introduced it to friends who have also become loyal customers here, that's how good it is! read more

I've lived in Oxnard for quite some time and drive down Rice several time a week. I came to an event at another winery and happened to walk over to this little gem. I was immediately greeted by the young lady conducting the tasting. She was inviting, warm and super knowledgeable. The facilities were well designed and well maintained which made it comfortable. The wines were delectable and made me want to pop cork after cork. read more

(Tasted 10/26/13 SA @ 3:00pm): A bit pricey but magnificent wines! Thanks to an outstanding Living Social offer (www.livingsocial.com), a coworker, her husband, her sister, and I were able to try several wineries in the Ventura County area - among them, Magnavino Cellars. The Living Social deal was a voucher for a "One Harvest Wine Passport" offered by the Ventura County Wineries Association and valid at eight wineries ($80.00 value for $40.00). Magnavino Cellars was our fourth and last stop of the day (to be continued later) on our tasting tour, and I had to say they were the busiest and most popular (or maybe it was simply later in the day). Here was how the tasting went (mostly reds), and please by no means am I an oenophile - just a simple fool who enjoyed wine: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rYFNKhqJBSn4LBNySH7huw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 2012 Beautiful White Blend: (ranked #3) The only white in the bunch, I enjoyed it's light body and fruity nose...but dammit, what's the blend!? 2010 Trifection: (ranked #7) The Grenache was overbearing in this blend which ruined it for me. 2010 Zinfandel: (ranked #1 - $29.00) This was a lovely light and soothing body, but then our winetender snuck in their "Old Vine" version which was heavenly with tastes of cherries and raspberries. I grabbed a bottle and ran! 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon: (ranked #5) Bold, I was sensitive to the hint of tobacco, and I felt the finished lingered a bit too long for my liking. 2010 Syrah: (ranked #4) Get me a lounge chair and the warm California weather and this was good to go! However, the spices tended to be a bit strong. 2010 Petite Syrah: (ranked #6) This one seemed very busy on my palate, and although I liked the chocolate taste the other dark fruits masked it. It had a hearty finish. 2009 Syrah (ranked #2 - $32.00) An extra off-tasting menu selection, again, our winetender was ever the salesperson and did a wonderful job! I found this less spicy than its 2010 sibling and may not share it with anyone! Souvenir Glass ($8.00) - None of the previous wineries provided complimentary wine glasses with our tastings so I bought this; I liked the crest. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=egrODd7Q5zLJTBg0FyYKAA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Service - Not much to it as we simply walked up to the tasting bar, showed our passport, and the tasting was on! It was rather busy and crowded, but the bar was staffed with three people, and they still provided us personal attention. And boy did they sell us! All was good! Parking - There was sufficient free parking on the lot they shared with other businesses. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - The business was located in an industrial area with an unappealing storefront that lacked eye-level visible signage (this was it http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=cNLxzi4Ls9Z2g-G-BzEA5A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw). However, once inside it was extremely spacious. You entered through a lobby area that opened to a high-ceiling facility with a tasting bar, a private party table area, numerous couches to lounge on, and the cellar off to the right http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=UbhERM0qPBhu4Jn4W7mZmg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Hung on the cream and violet walls were some framed paintings, and a few tall green plants placed in corners. There was plenty of lighting - mostly electric), although there was an annoying skylight. I liked the chandelier http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GH9G3dmaWxn3_m8CJgkr7g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! I didn't notice any TVs or background music. Attire - It was totally casual so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, Magnavino Cellars was the most complete of the four wineries we visited this day. Their price range ($18.00-$38.00) was higher than I'd like, but that I bought two bottles said something to the quality. I still can't get used to the whole urban winery located in industrial areas as the whole romanticism of a vineyard view was reserved for those more conducive areas such as Napa, Santa Barbara, Sonoma, and Temecula - just to name a few in California. But as long as they produced a good product I guess it didn't matter, right? It's not like Ventura County lacks farmland, so I'm just saying.... I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total experience was around $80.00 based on 50%-off tasting of $10.00; no tip required). Thank you for the extra tastings and more than the usual five tastings. And, there were complimentary crackers to aid with the tasting. No complimentary tasting glass. And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! read more

It is amazing that we have a tasting room as nice as this in Oxnard. We love good wine. The only thing better is good wines. Although I have my favorites, there is not a miss in the bunch. We joined as members the first time we tasted here and love it. Robert and Barbara are charming and hard working. They consistently make an effort to make the membership worthwhile.More often than not there are little munchies cheese, fruit and such. they have events for Major sporting events shown on the big flat screen in the barrel room. The members pick up dinner was great fun. We met new friends and were surprised by some old ones. Don't miss this, if you like wine at all. A beautiful room, delicious wine and good company. Don't forget to hit the barrel room. , read more

So wineries are springing up all over the place. Seems like everyone wants to try their hand at making wine! In my opinion, this should be limited to those that actually have a heart and soul for wines, and then nurture their passion with training. And here in the heart of an industrial area of Oxnard you have just that with Robert Wagner taking his love of wine and making it available for others to sample! Yes, it is kind of 'Mom and Pop'. But historically, that's what has made our country stand apart. The wines that Robert makes truly will make Magnavino Cellars stand apart for years to come. His wife Barbara has such grace and a spirit of hospitality that all who come through those doors feel like family. And if I were going to be part of a wine family, this would be a great one to become part. There's always a table for their family and guests with filtered water, cheese, crackers, fruit. The Cellars have these great comfy leather couches and tables where you can enjoy sipping your wine and watch the wine making operations through the glass windows. Robert will often times take people on a 'tour' of the wine making process. This is a fast growing wine club, and yes, we are proud to be members of this wine family. The pick up parties are also really fun! read more

Husband and wife are super friendly. Very welcoming. Worth a visit. Membership is available and worth the perks if living in town

If you want to experience amazing wine, then this is the place for you. The winery is absolutely beautiful! If you can believe it, the barrel room has chandeliers. I am a member of many wine clubs but bar none, you will not find more superior wines in all of Ventura County. Robert Wagner and his beautiful wife Barbara are gracious hosts when you visit the winery. Robert, the winemaker, is always happy to have a conversation with you and take you to the barrel room to do some barrel tasting. Roberts vast knowledge of wine coupled with his ability to produce superior wines is enough to make even the most savvy wine connoisseur's coming back for more. In addition, Magnavino Cellars is known for having the most amazing pick up party's for their wine club members. This winery is Oxnard's best kept secret. read more

Excellent ambiance, Boo is amazing. This place is a true hidden gem. Loved everything about this place.

Great experience. We stayed up the street at the Hilton Garden Inn for our babymoon and after a Yelp search found this nearby Winery. We wanted to buy a bottle for my aunt who we planned to see the following day. I asked for a tasting and tried maybe 5 or 6 bottles. We ended up buying three. The Chardonnay is probably the best California white I've ever come across. We will most definitely come again. read more
