They have some games on hand for playing, such as dominoes to keep you occupied while you sip. There's also a small family museum attached that you can wander around for 5-10 minutes that includes a vintage car on display. Adults 21+ only (all wineries should be this way!) Dog friendly The server was friendly Free parking on gravel Check their website for special events We enjoyed a glass of fruity zinfandel while sitting outside in the spring breeze with views of the vineyard. It's a rustic little place with cozy indoor seating on cool days or outdoor seating on warmer days. Was this review helpful?

We went to Julian…read morestation and walked past Julian Wine and chocolate, so we ended up stopping in after our cider tasting. They had tastings for local wines, all out of the surrounding vicinity, including San Diego. We just had to do the chocolate pairing as well, and the chocolate is also out of Carlsbad and had so many amazing unique flavors. My favorite being the one with the potato chips. Though I still feel the southern California wines aren't as good as the northern California wines, I'm glad that it's becoming more and more common and I do have to admit that it's improved greatly over the last 10 years. The person who was at the counter of Julian wine and chocolates was super friendly and knowledgeable. The little shop was very inviting and the tasting prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend you stop in and check out some of the Southern California wines.

I believe he was the owner; but he was very hospitable. They have unique wines infused in whiskey barrels. I had their Chardonnay which had a slight taste of whiskey in it but I thought it was pretty good. I also tried their pepperoni and sausage flat bread which also was pretty tasty. We were greeted by "Whiskey" the cat and as we were told apparently he was a stray and greets everyone as they arrive which was cute. They have misters which helped a lot with the heat.

Called 20+ Vineyard and put my requirements and was chose Crystal hill as my choice, I am so glad I made that decision.

The Staff and owners were very nice, as we were having good time Scott the owner took the kids, around 10 of them to a short hike and showed them around the property and vineyard, kids had good time while adults were drinking up. Meanwhile Kristy engaged the smaller kids. It was all fun and everyone had fun. Special kudos to the lovely bartenders. If you are looking for great wines, amazing views, comfortable atmosphere, great staff, kid friendly, pet friendly, this is the place. We are going back soon

The drive from Riverside County into Ramona was very peaceful and beautiful so the start of it was already in alignment. We were greeted right away by Shelly and her welcoming smile. She went over the tasting and shared with us information about the Brandy they also make onsite. We enjoyed all of the wines and really enjoyed the Brandy's as well. After the tasting my husband had a glass and we sat on the deck just taking in the beautiful views and wonderful weather. As we were getting ready to depart we knew one of those bottles of Brandy needed to go home with us , but very difficult to choose when everything we tasted was very good. So glad we experienced their wines and hospitality!

MIDDLE RIDGE WINERY @ IDYLLWILD…read more Parking is available in all over this town, just any street parking you find available is also free! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this winery, and it was so cozy inside. It was warm, inviting, and filled with people relaxing with a glass of wine. They also offer cheeses and charcuterie boards, and my favorite part was definitely the live music. I loved the duo performing at the front, it created such a great atmosphere. The space also sells a variety of other items like jewelry, cards, and antique pieces. They're definitely on the pricier side, but everything is really high-quality. Overall, I just loved the vibe here. The winery is super spacious, and if you're ever around the area, it's definitely worth stopping by. Grab a glass of wine, some cheeses, and just sit back and enjoy. There were quite a few people on this Saturday afternoon, and the energy and atmosphere made the whole experience even better.

It's charming in its simplicity (see the photo of the converted shipping van which doubles as the tasting room). It seems like the money is being spent on the grapes and machinery/harvest which pays off in the flavor of the wine. We tried the sampler and took home a bottle of the Ramona Red which was my favorite. Our server, Cato was helpful and let us sit outside and enjoy the scenery as long as we wanted which we appreciated because the views are stunning. Come, relax and enjoy.

Hillary started us off with '22 Chardonnay Paso Robles AVA that was perfect! For the reds we chose a '20 Estate Tannat, the '22 Montepulciano, the '21 Merlot, and two bottles of the 10 year French Oak Barrels Indulge. We chose to share the tasting (full disclosure, I did much of the tasting) and we went down their list of white and reds. I'm a white lover generally , but these reds were SO good that we chose five of them along with the white. Teri, the owner, is an incredible host and made the wine tasting experience very satisfying and relaxing. Take Hwy 78 towards Julian and you'll find it on the left! Cheers!
