What a lovely way to watch the leaves sway in the autumn breeze while sipping on a glass of wine…read more This winery is host to a vast vineyard, large open event spaces, intimate sitting areas, and a working farm with chickens, goats, and wild birds (as well as coyotes, raccoons, opossum, rabbit, and deer in the wild landscape). THE FLIGHT We had the pleasure of trying a flight of bold reds & crisp whites. Standard Tasting Flight was $30 for six 1-oz pours. We felt tipsy halfway through so it was worth it. I noticed that most of the wines in this red selection hovered around 14% so it's no surprise we got giggly after a few. Our favorite choice in this flight was Red Handed. It's a Central Coast wine that's a Cabernet Franc-heavy Bordeaux with chassis notes and flavors of plum and blackberry. Their 2023 Cabernet Franc came in second. It's a balanced, dry red with hints of black cherry, plum, and charred strawberry jam toast. Service was casual and friendly. Sip in the experience slowly and enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. Or take a walk around the grounds and feel like you're off in the countryside in a very faraway place. Although there are gourmet snacks for purchase on-site, I recommend packing a picnic to complement your wine palette so you can pair the wines with the foods you love. Not only will it help you discern which vintage you enjoy the most, but what you'll enjoy with your special meal when you take home a bottle (or a case). NOTE Old Creek Winery is CLOSED Tuesdays & Wednesdays. Call to make a reservation to ensure a good experience. Kids 3-12 are NOT permitted. Dogs on leashes are ok.

We visited Old Creek Winery on a weekend, and overall it was just okay. The vineyard view is…read morebeautiful, but it was very hot and stuffy. I wish they had misters around the seating areas, especially since they already have them near the outdoor bar. The couch cushions also looked like they needed a good cleaning. My boyfriend and I tried the sparkling wine tasting four 1oz samples for a $30. The peach one was my favorite, but $30 for only 4 oz total feels very expensive when a whole bottle is around $35. We ended up getting a bottle and had to ask for an ice bucket because the wine wasn't cold enough. There are also almost no food options besides some overpriced snacks. Many people brought their own food, which I wish I had known before coming. The server seemed tired and didn't explain much about the wines unless we asked questions. Overall, nice views, but for the price and experience I can't give more than 3 stars.

Great time visiting here…read more Mike treats you like a local. Pours heavy. Tells you about every wine. The service is in point. The ambiance is super chill. Definitely will be back.

I really love how they give you packaged bread sticks in between tastings. Nice touch!

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.

~ IT'S A FEMININOMENON ! ~…read more A Lovely boutique winery with the friendliest, most down-to-earth winemakers. I dropped by for a tasting and had a great chat with Natalie, the owner, who shared the story of Wildflower and her journey. She truly takes the time to connect with each guest and is obviously passionate about her craft. The tasting room has a feminine, cozy, intimate feel, with a light, airy ambiance. Though my partner and I usually prefer bold reds, we really enjoyed Wildflower's lighter, natural, and fruit-forward wines. I think this wine is perfect for those new to wine, enjoy lighter wines, as well as for gift giving or casual get-togethers!

Rita is so knowledgeable about the tasting notes and origins of all their wines. She always makes us feel at home while we're enjoying glorious wine selections out on the patio. She has a list of tastes and she'll add in a pour or two when she has something special off the list. They offer an accessible wine tasting experience that's enjoyable for both wine enthusiasts and a first time wine tasting encounter. Majestic Oak features Rhône varietals such as Syrah, Grenache and a lesser known Cinsault. We are members of their wine club because of the quality of their wines and the value. The rich reds that we selected were sourced from local Ojai vineyards as well as the best of the Santa Barbara County growing regions. They also offer beautiful white wine varieties that call for a summer picnic or garden party. We loved the Bruce's Rose that celebrates their mascot, Bruce. Highly recommend for the quality of their wines and for the wine tasting experience.

Tasting: $20 (waived with $40 wine purchase per tasting, or club membership)…read more We're wine club members, and regular visitors to the Trois le Fou tasting room in Ventura. It's owned and operated by three retired engineers, Paul, Alan, and Tim, and they make wonderful Rhone and Bordeaux style wines from Paso Robles fruit. It's a quaint, boutique winery and tasting room, which recently joined forces with the folks from Lester Family Cellars. 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 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. We simply love the Trois le Fou family and highly recommend you stop in and check out their latest vintages. The service and wine are amazing, and I'm betting you'll enjoy yourself as much as we do.

Beer tasting flight: $20…read more This was only our second visit to Rincon Mountain's tasting room, but the experience was just as wonderful as the first time. This is a family owned/operated wine and beer tasting room located in Carpinteria, with their vineyards located on nearby Rincon Mountain and in Paso Robles. Cool vibe entry area, with a large, garage-like back room and outdoor tasting areas. Parking available both on street and in a private lot in back. WINES: We were fortunate to have Jill, co-owner with her husband Edward, pour for us and the service was excellent. We tried 5 wines from the tasting menu, a '22 Storytime Rosè, '22 Susie Q (white Rhone blend), 2020 Dusty Vinyl (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre red blend), '19 Tempranillo, and a '19 Monk (Bordeaux red blend). In addition, Jill also poured us a '22 Syrah. Again, all the wines were well-made and flavorful. We took advantage of the waived tasting fee and took several bottles home with us. You can also purchase wines by the glass or enjoy a bottle onsite. BEER: New since our last visit, Jill and Edward decided to brew beer, so we also decided to share a tasting. All ingredients are grown on their property and they're currently pouring a Lu Lu Lager, a Monk's Ration (Belgian Ale), and a Sal's Stout. The pours are generous and easily enough for two people to share a tasting. We're not huge beer fans, but these, especially the lager and the ale, were so refreshing and full of flavor. They're sold in 750ml bottles, and we took a couple of these home as well. I highly recommend a visit to Rincon Mountain Winery's tasting room. You won't be disappointed!
