Blake Owner/Brewer/ Magician!! Couldn't have been more inviting. He genuinely cares about his craft as he went into detail about every cider they offer. Even shared his experience of where it all started for him as a hobby turned into a passion for such a remarkable product! The location is not set up yet for sit down service but that didn't stop Blake from giving us a mini tour and an actual sample straight from the tank of a new Blueberry cider. I must have sampled at least 8 different flavors & when it was time to decide it was not easy. I'll say the prices are pretty good when you consider the product is the best in Ventura County! I will share this experience with anyone who supports local business! Thank you Blake!! You made our day!

Holy hole in the wall!!! This little cider brewery packs a…read moreHUGE punch! At first we thought we we're in the wrong place because it is just a small little set up in an industrial Park. There was one roller door open and a small self-made bar with only a couple people sitting at it. We took our chances, stepped out of our car and went to inquire if we were in the right place for a cider tasting. The owner/bartender was very enthusiastic and welcomed us in! We were then treated to a tasting of approximately 10 different ciders, all handcrafted by the owner and his partner themselves. There's a story behind each cider, and the owner took the time to explain the stories, converse with us and laugh with us. It was beyond a pleasant experience. And the ciders were nothing short of phenomenal!

Wild flower-Standard almost like neutral white wine Rare earth- feels like a nice warmed baked good in a drink with the cinnamon and spice. Sierra madre- has that quality aged wine flavor. Milk and honey had that creamy sweetness (not overly sweet) High and dry reminds me of a white wine with the crisp apple notes Kombucha here is not sour.

It was my first time trying mead and she was so patient with giving us samples and suggestions. We tried a couple of the ciders and mead and she recommended we try the honey pineapple slush (pineapple paradise slush)!! It was so good and refreshing, had the perfect balance of sweetness and honey without being too overpowering. The other ciders and mead were great as well, literally can't go wrong and really appreciate that they let you sample different ones! We loved the sun or a beach and pineapple paradise!

Back Patio Cellars feels like you've just meandered into Frank & Jen's backyard, and they invite you to stay awhile to try some cider/wine. This is definitely their passion project, and it shows in how they talk about their ciders/wine and enjoy sharing with people. It's located in a business park where they have what seems like a traditional tasting room with a few tables, a "living room" with comfortable seats and a couch surrounded by their barrels, and a "patio" outside with covered seating. We opted for a cider tasting, and as someone who was a little wary, because I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I was so excited to hear that their style is on the drier side. These hard ciders are dangerously good... refreshing, delicately flavored, and you wouldn't even know that they're packed with a high ABV. We tried the Apple, Black Berry Pie, Golden Kiwi, Guava, Blood Orange, and Key Lime. My favorite was the guava and my SO's was the Black Berry Pie. These are perfect for warm weather, and you can even take cans or growlers to go! As for food, there are some snacks available for purchase, and folks are welcome to bring their own snacks (uh, charcuterie plate, anyone?) except when there's a food truck. Jen mentioned that they don't have a cider club just yet, but they do have a wine club. We're definitely planning on coming back for a wine tasting very soon, see ya there!

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!
