    Love this place. Ben is awesome. Be greeted us right away. It was actually a little busy. But I just came for a bottle. Ben was able to let us try a couple of wines he recommended for pizza (we were having pizza that night) i ended up purchasing 2 bottles. I really love this place. Good vibes and good service

    Very nice place to enjoy wine and of course, pizza next door never hurts. We tried a cab from Washington and loved it. The wine waiter was very nice and made sure we chose the correct bottle.

    This place is amazing !

    Ben is so attentive and recommends the best wine. The vibe is always relaxed but full of buzzing conversations. This is such a hidden gem in Yucaipa . If you haven't been, it's a must have. Oh, if you take a bottle to go, $10 dollars off !

    Last weekend we had to move the location of my niece's engagement party due to the weather to Uptown. We talked to Ben, the owner who was more than happy to accommodate us. His vast knowledge of beer and wine is impeccable. I highly recommend Uptown for all your wine and beer needs. It's also a great place to relax and enjoy a libation at the end of a busy day.

    I live in San Diego but I'm always so excited to go here when I'm in Yucaipa. Amazing selections of wines and some beers. The workers are great too. Very helpful in you finding a bottle or glass of wine you'll like. I've tried so many delicious wines since I first started coming here. It's a must every time I'm in the area!!

    Who can resist a glass of the goodest boi?  Took a bottle home!

    Thank you, Nate and Ben, for such amazing service! I've lived in Yucaipa since 2021 and only just visited Uptown Wine. I am pleased to say that I love this place and can't wait to come back! The wine selection is phenomenal and the service is top-tier! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

    Our selection we liked and got two bottles

    First time coming here. Very good selection of wines. Like how they had all separate by country or region. We took two bottles. Liked the service and the place is very nice and functional.

    My wife and I are club members and loyal customers. The service here is on another level. Ben is unbelievably knowledgeable and accommodating. You can fully trust him with any wine suggestions or recommendations. Nicole is polite, attentive and au courant. The atmosphere is mellow, inviting and modish, a perfect place for gathering with local friends or impressing out of town relatives. Our two rescued furbabies Leo and Lulu are welcomed and pampered. The (adjacent) WoodHaus brick oven pizza spot is not only reasonable, but vegetarian friendly as well and delivers directly to your table. I would rate it higher if I could. It offers the VIP exclusivity and indulgence you want, without the snobbery.

    Love this Wine Spot :) These pictures and review is prior to the Covid closure. Bet as soon as it opens we will be back :) If you are looking for Quality Wine, with Friendly knowledgeable service staff and a clean and inviting place to taste and drink wine, then come to Uptown Wine Merchant. Bonus next door they have an amazing pizza place its called Fire A Pizza. Order the pizza next door and enjoy it with your wine :) Nice spacious outdoor patio area with heaters for the chilly nights. Ask for Ben he will help you choose the best wine for you. I forgot to add they have great craft beers as well. Writing this review is making me thirsty :) Cheers friends stay safe and when this Covid Pandemic is under control lets raise a glass and enjoy life! Cheers!

    Chenin Blanc and wood fired pizza (great pizza place right next to the wine shop).

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.

I think I'd much prefer not paying for parking or for admission! I'm writing this review after attending their Mother's Day weekend preseason festivities. Parking is paid for alongside your admission ticket. It was free on Mother's Day as long as you paid for parking. It wasn't room bad, but the gravel and dirt road isn't friendly, so beware. There are plenty of things to do while at the farm. They have plenty of food and fun things for the lavender festival. The Farm itself has a hotel, sourdough area, perfume class, a matcha room, and two bars you can sit and drink in. I'm giving it the stars that I am because I'm not a fan of their food. Their drinks here are decent, but I feel as though the workers here are burnt out. It's definitely packed on every corner with a lot of people. Even when taking photos with the lavender, it's busy and a bit overwhelming. It is a lovely concept overall, and a nice experience away from the busy city.

    My family and I enjoyed our experience at Willowbrook Apple Farm! I signed up for their newsletter…read morein order to get reservations for the farm, and found it to be a fairly easy process. The $45 per person covers entry, in addition to one apple cider can (a pretty large one), an apple treat (we got apple pie made at a local bakery), and a bag of apples. We got there about half an hour before opening and were one of the first ones there, which was helpful when choosing/picking apples as later on the farm got busier. The apples were a fair size--lots of damaged ones but I'm sure that means they don't use any pesticides or anything. The farm also had two cute and friendly kitties that came up to us! Overall, I would recommend this farm for a nice little getaway from LA city life. I would recommend booking a reservation and arriving early, as parking can get packed and the farm does get pretty busy.

We bought 2 bags ($25 each), which they said could hold around 6 pounds of apples each. I loved picking apples at this farm! In the past we went apple picking at one of the nearby, bigger apple farms, but we enjoyed this one a lot! It's smaller than the more popular ones nearby, but I liked how it wasn't crowded. We were able to take our time picking apples, and we were able to find lots of red, juicy apples to bring home! There was a cute, friendly cat on the farm along with a pig and 2 mini horses. The scenery nearby was so pretty, and there were plenty of trees to pick apples from. I really enjoyed my experience, and would love to come back next year!
