Had a wonderful visit at Sycamore Ranch. My husband and I arrived and were greeted immediately. We were escorted to our outdoor table/wine barrel which already had our name on it. My husband did the cider tasting and myself the wine tasting. The tastings are all preplanned, no picking what you want to try. My husband only liked one of the ciders he tried but it wasn't worth buying. We ended up buying 4 bottles of wine. All the wines I tasted were good. I went home with the Merlot and Cab which were my favorites! The winery itself was adorable. Lots of flowers and even a vegetable garden. It was so nice to taste and watch all the butterflies flying around. I'm genuinely looking forward to another visit really soon!

Sometimes, when you live in such a fun place as Palm Springs, you want to press the EJECT button and land somewhere else....even if briefly.... or momentarily.... ANYTHING to be able to get oneself OUT of oppressive 110 degree heat. Its only going to get hotter (with no relief in sight). I scanned the map as thoroughly as possible and specifically chose anything that is in the "UP DIRECTION". Beam me up Scotty...becuase I simply just want to get the "hell out of here". I stumbled upon Sycamore Ranch Vineyard & Winery in the Lake Arrowhead region in this process and although its officially mapped as Crestline, I knew I had found an answer. Upon arrival, I found the winery bustling with activity. Every seat outside and at the small bar area inside was occupied. Carefully maneuvering my car between two others, ensuring I wouldn't block anyone in... I hoped out of the car and gingerly walked toward one of the buildings that had no markings on it. Eventually I did walk to the correct area and upon looking around I could see that there were no more tables or seats left anywhere. I had hoped to secure a table outside but were informed that they were all pre-booked. More groups continued to arrive as I was trying to find a place to even sit or stand. The lone employee, managing the crowded scene, directed me to a grassy spot under the shade of gigantic pine tree near the patio area. Reluctantly, I settled onto a picnic blanket, carefully balancing a glass of wine. Although my alcohol consumption is minimal to none these days, I simply longed for an excuse to be amidst the towering pine trees of the beautiful California Mountains and relish this blissful 74-degree weather. As I reclined on the blanket and gazed at the sky, the scent of grass, the whispers of the breeze, and the warmth of the sun enveloped me. Immersed in the ambiance, I closed my eyes, allowing my thoughts to wander. Questions flooded my mind--was this where I truly wanted to be? Was I making good life choices? Where could I improve? How could I become a better person? Yet, amidst the swirling thoughts, the prevailing realization was that I felt utterly content in that very moment. The worries of the world slipped away as I embraced the serenity of my surroundings. It didn't matter where I was or what others thought. What truly mattered was the tranquility within myself.

Our visit to Sycamore Ranch was very pleasant. Alicia was soo very helpful and she was so nice to talk to. She really has knowledge about the wines and our afternoon spent there was amazing. The patio and grounds are so beautiful and picture perfect backgrounds for cute fun photos while you're there. There are heaters outside that make it very comfortable. The ladies did the wine tasting while the men enjoyed the hard cider tasting and my husband said it was the best hard cider he ever tasted. We ended up buying 3 bottles of hard cider and 2 bottles of wine. We will definitely be coming back for a visit. Great lil Gen in the mountains, perfect place to spot on your way to Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear or just a lil day trip up the mountain for a perfect peaceful winery experience

Wine pick up!

We love this winery and their outstanding wines! Make a reservation for a tasting anytime from May until Thanksgiving to enjoy the beautiful grounds and mountain air! The staff is personable and very knowledgeable about their wines! If you're lucky you might meet the vintner! My Dad's favs are the Primitivo and Ranch Red. My mom, daughter and I love their Ranch Rose...a perfect spring summer wine and their Viognier is a wonderful dry white anytime! Their wine club is a great way to keep their wines coming! Don't miss this rare gem of a winery in our local mtns!

This was a beautiful little gem we found while taking a trip into nature. I'll admit it! Me and my bf are surely becoming wine snobs. The multiple trips to multiple wine towns, the bi weekly trips to wine bars around LA, the friends with the extensive wine collections, have made us....picky. So, when I suggested Sycamore Ranch to my bf on our latest trip to Lake arrowhead, we were both a bit skeptical. "ITS THE ONLY WINE BAR IN THE AREA" we simultaneously screamed. Our initial thoughts had us concerned that it wasn't going to be very good. And boy oh boy......How wrong we were. We sat in a lake arrowhead parking lot to maybe see if they had some time to seat us (reservations are v v important) and luckily they did. Walked in around 2pm on Saturday where they had the cutest little 2 top set up. We were perfectly positioned in some lounge chairs and enjoyed the beautiful outside area. It was a great surprise to find out that they, not only, produce wine, but also cider! Honey Bunny opted for the cider while I got the traditional wine flight. EVERYTHING WAS SO DELICIOUS! So delicious, in fact that we ended up taking a few bottles home. The viogner was my personal favorite and the ciders were so refreshing! I truly loved the experience. If you are a wine lover, this isn't one to miss out on! We had such a great time!

This was such a pleasant and relaxing wine tasting place. The personal touch and excellent service made our visit to Crestline even better. I enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth as she helped me purchase t-shirts for our entire family and told me about how the winery came to be. She was super kind and helpful. The brightly colored orange and lime green umbrellas created a fun atmosphere. We had both the wine and ciders, which were delicious. We bought a special bottle of the Altitude 4576 wine before we left so we can open it on a special occasion and remember our happy time there.

Our family was so amazed my the service, scenery, hospitality, and overall experience with Sycamore Ranch Vineyard & Winery. A special "THANK YOU" to Alicia for being so helpful and quick with responding to the million questions that I had while making the reservation and being so wonderful during our tasting! Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 kiddos under the age of 4) were comfortably seated picnic style (per Alicia's suggestion) and we were so glad that we took her advice. Anyone visiting the area MUST add this to their itinerary! Ended up purchasing a few bottles of 2020 syrah and 2021 viognier and hoping that I don't regret not buying more.

First time wine tasting in the woods! On weekends you would have to call in to make a reservation. Wine flight was 5 for $25. All extraordinary wine selections, highly recommend the Syrah and primittivio (not sure if I spelled this correctly). Parking is a short walk away from this winery. There are signs that lets you know of off site parking. Also if you are not feeling wine that day, they also offer hard cider here as well. Special shoutout to Christal! She was amazing and really knew how to get us excited for the next wine in our tasting.

Pretty view of the hills, trees, hummingbirds and butterflies around. It's lovely. The best part of this place is the ambiance, the beautiful views and spacious outside can't be beat. Unfortunately, if it's a rainy weekend, this place will be closed because because all of the seating is pretty much outside. But when it's nice outside, and in SoCal, it's usually nice outside, this place is wonderful. I was really happy watching all the butterflies flitting about. Service is also really nice. Just go up to the bar and put in your order, they'll get to it asap. There's water around for you to grab if you're thirsty. But if you want more drinks, just go back up to the bar. My friend actually got sick on my last visit here (not alcohol related - health issues) and the bartender was so nice to us and understanding - we paid up and left right away when it happened. Def made me feel welcome to come back again. It was something not in anyone's control, and she knew that and understood it, and was really amazing. The minus star I give is honestly because the wine is a bit meh (I got a bottle of the sparkling wine). One, it's just not the best taste wise even when you add some orange juice, but the biggest thing is it's always warm when they hand it to you. I would raise it this star if they just served it actually cold - doesn't need to be the best wine, just cold would be nice. I might bring some ice in a pack with me next time actually lol. If it was cold, I think it would be way better. I haven't tried the pizza place here, but it's on my list for the next time I come up here. Overall, loved the ambiance and service. And that will always make me come back.

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.

They've gotten to know us, and our tastes and they always make great recommendations, as well as setting up some very interesting tastings. And, for the non-wine drinker, they've also got a selection of craft beers and ciders. WINES: Ben's shop carries a great selection of wines, focusing on small batch producers, "unique" varietals, organic wines, natural wines, biodynamic wines, certified carbon neutral wines, and local wines. You can do a tasting or purchase a glass or bottle to enjoy onsite. There's a tasting bar up front, as well as bar top tables inside, and a spacious patio outside. I feel that bottle prices are very reasonable, and we usually end up leaving with 5 or 6 bottles based on our tastings and Ben's recommendations. There's on street parking in the front, as well as a small parking lot in the rear. I highly recommend you stop in and give them a try when in the area. NOTE: They don't serve food, however Woodhaus Pizza is right next door and you're more than welcome to pick up something there or bring in your own munchies.

The venue itself has a small nook area to the side so it was used as a back drop for photos and cheki (polaroid taking), a check in area to meet the idols and pick up our DIY bouquets for the event), some cushioned chairs and tables to the side, and lots of circular tables and seating inside for the group to sit down and work on our bouquets. There's random wine themed decor throughout the venue and 2 TVs where one was just the random wallpaper generated and the second one being the offkai theme image. There was chill music being played through the venue but unsure if this was through the tech of the venue or the speakers that the even organizer brought with them.
