    Found this little gem of a place just outside downtown Julian because we didn't want to stuck in the ridiculous -ness of parking and just being stuck in the mass of people. Anyway, back to the point of this review. Storum Ranch. This place is off the beaten path, but in a quiet farm / wine land. The scenery is beautiful, serene, and SLOWED DOWN. Total contrast from Main street. If that's what you're looking for then this is the place. What's special about Storum is that, other than wine, they also serve adult sodas. What are adult sodas, well, they are soda water with dark and light balsamic vinegars. You heard right. Balsamic vinegar of the sweet kind mixed with soda water, basically make a fancy version of a soda. ( It was perfect for my 8 month preggo wife). It was plus she enjoyed them. The lady t the front: I'm sure she was more than just "staff", more like a manager I would suspect, but she was super helpful and knowledgeable about the pairings of wine and balsamic vinegars and made great suggestions. Last, but not least, can't forget about the specialty infused olive oils on tap to taste. I think the next time we come, well just have to bring our on veggies, cheeses and have a grand ol' time sitting outside with lunch! I really don't want to tell you to come here because it's such a great place, but I feel like it's such a great place not to share with the community!

    This is a new cidery and wine company in Julian. Not too far off the main road, its a nice drive thru the hills to get to it. Facilities are new and they have a small tasting room. Beside the ciders they have vinegars and showed us how with seltzer water you can make tasty drinks with them. We went home with a bottle. Thier ciders are more on the dryer side if you looking for that type. As I always say try it and see if you like it. Got to support local business!!!

    What a cool place! It's a bit off the beaten path but that makes it all the more special. The team running it are very friendly and excited to share their craft with visitors. They have a massive selection of balsamic vinegars and olive oils and a small section of local honey and jarred green olives. The olives are a kind I'd never heard of, "Gordal" which are gigantic and stuffed with garlic and chili...yum! The ciders and meads we tried were high quality and so far, my favorite in Julian! Planning to go back to try their wine selection some time. It's a fun stop after a local hike! It's also dog friendly for friendly dogs, which always scores points with me!

    Great "local gem" of a wine and cider place here. Yes, it is a bit outside of town, but it is a pleasent drive and a nice change from the places heavier on tourist style. Storum Ranch has a great selection of ciders and wines, most on the dryer side with slightly higher abv than you might be used you. I particularly enjoyed the apple chardonnay as a great twist on something everyone is used to. They also have a great selection of infused olive oils and vinegars, all with available tasters. Only thing I wish they had (and maybe I missed it) was some sort of pre-made or per-pacakged food to soak some of that cider and wine. Great kind of all around appeal here for me. Head on in and give them a try.

    Amazing little hidden gem! Not only was it clean and quaint but a cool 61' degrees. It was nice to get out of the 90 degree weather in Julian. The owner is very knowledgeable and kind. I was able to bring home various wine,vinegar,olive oils and ciders. I've never been a fan of ciders but these are unlike any I've had in the past.I can't wait until my next trip back.

    Hidden gem of Julian! What's better than wine tasting or cider tasting? Having wine, cider, balsamic & olive oil tasting all in one place! The balsamic tasting in seltzer was new for me and we enjoyed that more than anything. So many amazing flavors for both balsamic & olive oil, even kids enjoy. We left with several bottles of everything. The guy working there was super kind as well. Great spot to sit, sip & beat the heat.

    This Family owned Cidery and winery is so amazing! Best dry smooth ciders I've ever had, They have a high ABV but are so clean and give you the best buzz! No added sugars just natural sugars from the apples. This is a must check out and best place to have ciders in Julian area. Beautiful venue in the hills also with great views.

    Tasting room

    Awesome place with great cider, wine, shrubs and olive oil. The service was great - Bill, Pauline and Eric were the best. The environment - with the orchard being overlooked by Volcan mountain was really special.

They pretty much had 50% less apples than they did last year so they were trying very hard to get all these apples into our bags and home safely for our own apple cobbler and apple pie. We were able to fill up three bag bags of apples, small apples, but still very flavorful , Pippin and Jonathan's and some empires .. They do allow service dogs . Super fun activity however we were there on October 4 th Honestly, I think the season would probably be about done by now .. there's plenty to do and Julian. They have dirt parking. And crazy enough they have great music playing throughout the Orchard. We did a little Apple picking a little dancing

They estimate that the bag holds 6-7 lbs of apples. When we went they said there were 5 apple varieties but three of them were pretty picked through. This was the 4th day they were open for the season. It is a pretty small apple orchard. That being said, we were able to get a full bag although a lot of apples were small or ones that looked nice only turned out to have wormholes in them. Lots of tossed apples on the ground too. Parking is all in one area now which is better than previous years where there were multiple. Some food and drinks vendors right outside the entrance. They don't sell apple cider or apple cider donuts here sadly.

It feels like you are tasting in the corner of someone's garage. It's small- very close quarters. And the lady just stands there and looks at you while you taste, like less than 4 feet in front of you because it's so small in there. I can't imagine there being other guests in there at the same time. The wines were an interesting selection, but nothing to knock anyone's socks off. I believe she's open every day, which is really nice considering it gets so busy on the weekends up in Julian.

This awkward little space wasn't the problem for me. I was served my first flat hard cider serving in a filthy glass. I kindly asked for a clean glass which I was given with an apology. There was food reminents on the tasting counter, so I had to try to avoid putting my arms down. The place was just not clean. I didn't enjoy anything I tasted until I tried their passion fruit sangria. It was quite tasty and refreshing. If you bought the bottle of passion fruit wine, the recipe came with. The pourer was so kind and lovely to talk to, she was the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, I would not revisit this "cellar".

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. Best wine, amazing scenery, very private, kid friendly, pet friendly most of all sweetest Staff you will ever find. This is the best winery of Ramona by far and exactly what we were looking for. The view is stunning and beautiful view, atmosphere is very relaxing. Wine choices we were excellent, Excellent wine, especially the whiskey barrel wines! Wine Choices: We initially ordered wine flights, double and singles an we choose the below bottles from there. 1. 2016 Stone Lake Merlot 2. 2016 Whiskey Stone Lake Merlot 3. 2019 Malbec Rose 4. 2017 Whiskey Rose They even have food; their flatbread is amazing too. 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
