Member party
Mimi L.

Came here for Malibu wines member party on a Sunday. They used to have parties at the old Malibu wines but it got burned down last year so they had to have the party here at the ranch. It's pretty much just lawns and limited tables and chairs throughout the entire place. We didn't know that we could bring chairs, tables and blankets to have some places to sit down and relax. Will do next year for sure! They had Stonefire grill catered lunch which was included in the tickets. The kale salad and pesto penne pasta were very delicious but BBQ meats were a bit bland according to hubby. The tickets were only $10 for members and $30 for non members. Unlimited wines, complimentary bottle waters, DJ spinning, a small dance floor for a couple hours of fun under the sun. Also a small vendor displays homemade clothes and fashion jewelry for sale. The weather was not bad, it was a very warm weekend but was cooling down on Sunday. They played a lot of Miley Cyrus songs so I was happy! The party was more enjoyable than I expected, everybody was so friendly and pleasant. The only issue was that members had to park at Malibu safari area and took shuttles to get to the garden party. We were at the wrong parking lot and had to ask for directions to get to the right parking, so it wasn't the most convenient for us. Other than that it was a great wine party and we enjoyed it very much. Anyways we will be better prepared for next year!

Saddlerock vineyard

Great experience exploring the vineyard via off road utv. Sampled different wines and delicious snacks brought out by our tour guide, Stephanie. Talk-story, laughed, took picture! She made it all the best experience ever!

What a wonderful experience! The Malibu Wine Hike through Saddlerock's Vineyards was a surprise. It was a perfect day! Our hike was led by Paul, who filled us in on the history of the ranch, the vineyards, surrounding area, fires, and of course, their wine with both knowledge and humor. There was even a delightful Frose break in the gardens halfway through the hike! The Chumash cave and drawings were a highlight. Although there are no wild animals, this 2.5 mile hike through the Vineyards is highly recommended. There are amazing views every step of the hike. Thanks Paul, for the great adventure in our LA backyard!

Appetizers

What a magical experience! I booked this for my girlfriend's birthday. There were approximately 60 individuals there to enjoy this intimate experience. Our evening started with champagne and appetizers. For a non-alcoholic option, there is a blackberry sage spritzer. I opted for a little of both to create a mimosa. Yum. The set up was stunning. From the flowers to the rustic tables down to the food. The appetizers were too pretty to eat, but I stuffed my face... don't worry. The onion dip made with fresh flowers was amazing! The pop of edible flowers was beautiful. After a nice spread of appetizers, we moved on to dinner. This is a 5-course meal! Come hungry! The deconstructed fried chicken to the short ribs were to die for. This was all cooked outside on an open fire. Pretty amazing experience. Dessert was included, but I had to bring some Susie cakes for the birthday celebration. Saddle Ranch will let you bring your own dessert and bring it out when it's dessert time.

Pan amb Tomaquet, braised beef & Beurre Maître d'Hôtel, Mushroom Escabeche  Arrugula & cherry tomato from garden

The grounds at Saddlerock Ranch are well kept & the scenery expansive with rocky peaks & buttes creating an ideal location for a cowboy western. However, views of grape vineyards, zebras, water buffaloes, etc. make for a more exotic scene. The cement roadways are great, but it is only wide enough for 11/2 cars so be prepared to yield to on coming traffic. Thanks to Brittany F., CM for LA West & initiator of the Somm Series, who was most gracious in inviting us to a fantastic al fresco event where farm to table dishes flowed on & on. Our Yelp mates including Cosmic Yelper Isobel L. were fun, informative, & engaging so that the evening rushed on w/ pleasant repartee. Started off wetting our whistle w/ Saddlerock Rose made of Sangiovese which is the same varietal used to make Chianti Classico at least in Toscano. Hints of strawberry, raspberry, bit burnt caramel, refreshingly acidic, it was a great summertime libation. Starters: 1) Slow cooked braised beef was slathered w/ Beurre Maître d'Hôtel/butter infused w/ herbs. 2) Pan amb Tomaquet: Open wood fire grilled rustic bread made pinkish being rubbed w/ tomato & herbs 3) Escabeche: mushrooms cooked in acidic fruit vinegar placed on grilled bread w/ toasted almonds Family style Large Plates: 4) Salad of chick peas, carrots, broccolini festooned w/ snow-like sheep milk feta. 5) Grilled zucchini, yellow squash, summer squash, soft pasty lentils, red bells, touch of dill leaf 6) Albacore fire grilled to medium rare, various sweet beets, kale-like salsa verde, sprinkling of sunflower seeds Main: 7) Smoked Garlic Porchetta looking like soft, moist slow cooked carnitas, braised kale & green onions with a hint of Aîoli (ah ee oh lee)/garlic mayonnaise. Dessert: 8) Cardamom scented pound cake, vanilla accented crème fraîche, apple jam garnished w/ huge, lightly sugar macerated sweet blueberries Much of the cooking was done over an open fire using dead wood found around the ranch which was much appreciated. Some of the vegetables & wine were straight off the ranch. Talking about a truly locavore dinner. Staff is friendly, attentive but not obsequiously so. The treat was being able to eat outdoors in a bucolic yet sophisticated location. Seeing the golden glow of early evening fade to a dark, blue velvet twilight, then star filled darkness. Food was good in an unpretentious, unaffected manner without putting on airs. Life is good.

My cousins and I had booked the vineyard tour which included several picnic stops where we were able to sample wine and a charcuterie spread. In honesty didn't know what to expect, but it turned to to be so much fun! Our tour guide, Sebastian was amazing, professional and had a great sense of humor which made our trip entertaining. I recommend you request him as your tour guide. Oh, and he also took most of our photos and made sure to get great shots!

My brother-in-law got married here over the weekend (early September). I couldn't tell you the price, but once you see it, you'll know it isn't cheap. There are some mandatory fees that are included (shuttle, security), so beware of those. The location was beautiful, but the weather was borderline unbearable until the sun went down. The particular package he got involved a little house (Le Dome) on top of a hill which led down a cobblestone pathway to a flower-lined plateau. At the end is a gorgeous wooden structure. The drive we took through the grounds of Saddle Rock showed the compound is huge. It has a menagerie of animals on the ground like llamas, zebras, camels, yaks... but I have no idea what they are for.

Magnificent scenery and views on a lush and beautifully landscaped farm nestled in Malibu.
Stuart G.

This is a most magnificent place to meet and be with friends. The beauty of this farm and ranch is really beyond an explanation on a yelp review. We did spend a Saturday evening here with friends anticipating an evening of wine and dinner at their nascent restaurant. Do not expect much from the food or the service of the food. I recommend the owners hire a real restaurant management team and chef to run The food activities. We all had a most wonderful time in such a beautiful place to watch a beautiful sunset. You must go here, but at this writing not for the food. It seems they ran out of food. Everyone in line was scolded not to take too many appetizers. When the main course arrived it was a full plate loaded with vegetables and very little of the advertised pork. The presentations of the food was sloppy and inconsistent. The flavors we are overbearing with garlic and the consistency heavy with oil. Again, I believe the thought of this is experience is in the right place, but they need a professional assistance for the entire restaurant experience.
