    Popped in here after a recommendation from one of the employees at Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room and am so glad she told us about it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just a bit off the main road, in a cute little old home building with wine and a shop inside, and just an adorable outside patio area. It felt so homey and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really enjoyed the Pinot Noir I got here, and the employees were also so kind and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just loved the space outside with cozy tables and chairs, couches, and other comfy patio furniture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's quite an array and a good amount of space; I'm so glad we were here on a day that wasn't too busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I lived in the area this would definitely be my go-to even to come alone with a good book and a glass of wine. I can't wait to stop here again next time I'm in town!

    Love these candles.

    While in Ojai earlier today I made sure to stop be here to check it out. I have been following Ojai Roots on IG for many years and had bought their olive oil from Ojai Valley Inn a few times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store looks so lovely, so many cute things to choose from. Handmade pottery, unique candles, plates, bags, jams, honey and many more items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have wine and some food items. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can sit on the patio and enjoy a glass of wine or other things.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I bought a pot of chestnut honey that's from Spain. Can't wait to try it. My family loves honey ... I'm so glad I stoped by. It's a lovely store with very unique products. Great place to get gifts as well. As far as customer service I wish they were a bit friendlier. ...

    Ojai Roots is definitely one of my favorite stops in Ojai and an absolute must visit if you are coming into town. I love everything about this business - the owner and staff are super friendly, their wine selection is top notch, delicious food, and lovely atmosphere. I've been to Ojai Roots twice now and I truly can't get enough. Such an awesome addition to Ojai and exactly what the city needed, a cute market, tapas bar and wine bar off the main drag. In a way it's nice they are off the beaten path because otherwise this spot would be mobbed. I know they're only going to continue to get more popular so I'm enjoying them while they are still one of the best kept secrets in Ojai. The staff here are so welcoming and personable. The owner is lovely and super passionate about the business. I learned so much the first time I came here when I asked him about different wines and their foods. It's nice to see someone who knows a little bit about everything when it comes to the food they source and all of the varieties of wine they sell. Every staff member here though is great. Always 5 star service. Shoutout to Manny as he sticks out to me from our few visits because he is always so attentive and kind. The staff here are lovely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm also really obsessed with their whole concept. They've created a beautiful hidden garden / patio oasis in the back. It's super tranquil and cozy. Plenty of shaded tables and couches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice to see they have a small little table inside for sitting in case the weather isn't cooperating but otherwise 99% of their seating is outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The inside is the cutest market and little shop. Whoever curates and buys their products deserves a raise lol. The juices, fresh refrigerated items and dry goods are all stunning. If you are looking for some mid day snacks, grocery items to take home or cute kitchenware / gifts, this shop has you covered. I really could go on and on. Just know that their wine and tapas / small bites menu is top notch. Their wine options rotate regularly and I haven't had a glass here I didn't like. Love that they really have so many options (not just red and whites). I also love that they now have Spritz's on their menu. I tried the yuzu Spritz and the Ojai Pixie Spritz. Both were so refreshing and good. 5/5 for both! However if I could only pick one definitely go with the Pixie as it's a little more flavorful and sweet, perfect for a hot day. The food here is so great for sharing. My favorite dish is their manchego cheese and quince plate. Trust me and just get it! I also love their little side of break and butter, lemon whipped butter perfection. Lastly, I'm a sucker for their veggie board. Always super fresh and love that the veggie dip changes every so often. So many more bites I need to try here but these are my go to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ojai Roots will forever have my heart as it's such a special and wonderful place. Always feel welcome here and love the privacy you get to dine and drink here away from all of the hustle down the street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They've done a magical job here and I'll always make a stop back in when I'm in Ojai.

    A hippy market that STILL manages to stand out in a town full of hippy markets thanks to their delicious looking prepared food and cool little wine bar. Lots of interesting specialty food items to check out!

    Pet friendly

    I love this place! Ojai Roots is such a nice spot in Ojai to relax and enjoy a good glass of wine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is peaceful, and the patio is beautiful -- I especially love that it's pet-friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The only thing I think is missing is having more options for small bites. We came on a Sunday, but the kitchen was closed and the market didn't have many choices that day. If they added a few hot bite options, it would honestly be perfect. Still, it's a lovely place to unwind and enjoy some good wine in Ojai!

    Stumbled upon this beautiful place that created a great afternoon! Immediately we were greeted and welcomed throughout the store front. At the time we thought it was just a farm shop, but got recommended the wine bar so we decided to stay for the afternoon. Jen was such a kind person and even encouraged us to a great choice of red, even though we normally drink whites. We decided to pair it with a ham, balsamic, and olive oil baguette sandwich. The garden was so peaceful and created a dreamy afternoon feel that seemed like we were on vacation! Can't wait to come back !

    The pressed juice and food here were incredible. The service was impeccable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating and ambiance inside and outside was clean and well decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were 5 dollar glasses of wine available which is unheard of. The soup is also 5 dollars which I think would be a pretty good deal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a place to go to relax.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The employees here were so nice and helpful.

    Delicious salads and fresh pressed juices right from their farm

    Wow! Ojai Roots is my favorite spot in Ojai for fresh delicious lunch, tapas and wine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent service and beautiful outdoor ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]The little shop has wonderful little selection of kitchen staples, some local meats and cheese, and cute gifts too

This place is expensive. 3-5 courses prefix menu from $75-100 per a person not including drinks which range from 15-20, with bottles obviously going way higher. Walking around the venue it's really gorgeous, rustic California garden/woodsy vibes with twinkle lights and water features. Unique nooks and crannies to sit and dine. The little interior lobby had a piano but they had an iPad connected playing instrumental piano music. Coming to our table there was no table clothe or center piece, it was a wood table bare. The waiters & waitresses had on relaxed clothes and Patagonia jackets. When asked about wine bottles they didn't have much clue how to answer our questions. The food itself was good, nothing amazing or life altering. Salads were good, apps fine, wine was fine, my steak was undercooked and was cold along with my mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was taking a long time in between each course, like 10-20 min breaks which was hard because we had young kids with us and we weren't trying to be that leisurely in our meal time. Strawberry cake was good, but once again not amazing. I will say our server was very kind and cared for our young kiddos well- offering to bring their food quicker and brought them cups of berries. We appreciated her thoughtfulness. The restaurant was no where close to being full for a Friday night. And I was confused but then after my full experience I realized this place is struggling. The entire vibe was off, this is not a fine dining restaurant or vibe...causal Patagonia clothed waiters ... no table clothes with semi-dirty outdoor seating... an instrumental iPad playlist.... With a bill that quickly gets into the $250-300 range for a couple or the $800-1,000 range for party of 6. What are you paying for? This should be a more causal California bougie hipster farm to table restaurant with a live blue grass singer on a guitar. Prices should be slashed by 25-50 percent and there should be no prefix menu of 3-5 courses. If done well the owner could still charge a pretty penny (if that's what they are after) but the vibe right now isn't making any one happy, it's in a no mans land and needs a make over to get revitalized.

We were also celebrating our first grandchild as well as our younger son's engagement, and we couldn't have found a better spot for quality time and making memories. The outdoor spaces are extraordinary, gorgeous nature, minutes from town and shopping with resort amenities - had an all-day bocce tournament, epic morning workouts in the giant yoga room, ping pong + frisbee games, long soaks in the hot tub, and hikes to the nearby picturesque river trail. Also outdoor lunches with vistas of the mountains and lush tropical foliage. The beds in the charming ranch home are super comfy and we had some excellent game nights and dinners at home, plus great meals out (Roblars, Rory's Place, The Hip Vegan, The Dutchess).

Walking the grounds is such an experience as you always find something new and exciting around the corner; for example the vegetable garden we found towards the back of the property and all the inviting sitting areas scattered throughout. You can have a fun gathering at the pool or take a stroll and find a place to be alone; maybe read or meditate. This place has it all! One evening we had dinner on the patio and the setting could not have been any better: the string lights, the cool stone table that could seat our large party and the amazing tall trees. It felt like we were at a tropical island. Many of us traveled from out of state and the hours it took to get to Rolling Thunder Ranch was well worth it! The only negative is....wish we stayed longer.

Customer service was still great, but I noticed a few changes that took away from the experience for us personally. I do like that the tastings are no longer in the plastic tubes, although the tubes did feel like they held a little more wine. What we didn't enjoy was that when multiple people ordered the same tastings, they were placed into the same shared glass/container. In our party of four, three of us had the same six tastings and had to share. I appreciated the bow on the glass showing the pours, but I preferred the previous setup where everyone had their own individual tastings. It may seem small, and thankfully our group was fine sharing, but it made the experience feel less personal and honestly made us less interested in doing tastings again on future visits. Some people also may not feel comfortable sharing containers or touching the same glass. Nothing terrible at all, just some feedback from longtime visitors who loved how it used to be. On this visit we actually ended up ordering a bottle afterward instead, and moving forward we'll probably just continue doing that rather than the tastings.
