EXCELLENT service! We were well taken care of. Although they weren't offering tastings at the time, we sampled 3 wines before making our pick. All the reds we tasted were delicious, but we went with a full bodied, tannic Malbec. The person leading our tasting even gave us a 2-for-1 deal for our glasses. Each of them were a healthy pour. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, it was a great experience. Their regular pricing is as follows: around $15 for a full glass of wine around $15 for a 4 wine tasting

This place is such a fun winery out in Julian. I was in the area helping out a friend with apple picking, and a worker from the winery was kind enough to give us extra bottles of water for our hard work. The inside was very clean and relaxing, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I was going to order a flight of wines, but decided on a full bottle of their apple wine instead that was recommended of the staff. It was very crisp and sweet and light. Great place to visit if you're in the area, I will be back to try out more wines.

I stopped by here to help a friend harvest crab apples that reside on their estate. After working hard, I was relaxing on their patio as they were opening. The staff asked if I was waiting for wine tasting and I explained I weas just relaxing for a minute. Instead, they offered us cold waters which I was very thankful for! So we decided to get a bottle of wine bit later and ordered the apple wine. It was excellent, although a little sweet. Very refreshing though. They also had some tasty snacks available and a hot food was available outside as well. Overall, it was a great experience and I am especially grateful to their very friendly staff.

We stopped in and had a great glass of wine here and would definitely recommend! Unfortunately it was windy when we visited but the outside seating looks great and there's plenty of options. We tried their Syrah which I thought was great!

The service and the views were amazing! The wine was delicious and the ladies at the counter were so friendly. The wine was delicious and it was a quiet atmosphere. We stayed for a bit because of the weather but I am definitely coming back.

Apple wine was unique and lovely. Environment was nice and service was good. I came with my family during a holiday weekend and we would have really enjoyed playing bags in the sunshine but most of them had holes in them. Kind of a sad vibe to see broke stuff lying around. I also had bad service but they don't have wifi.

What an amazing place. We had a blast with the host Mel. Awesome wines and ambience. Great place to visit, must not miss when you are in/near Julian - it's 2 months down the road

After apple picking, we like to walk across the way to Volcan Mountain Winery to relax for a few minutes and enjoy a glass of their yummy apple wine. They usually have live music and food vendors with plenty of outdoor seating. Price for a glass is $9 and $28 for a whole bottle. We typically will enjoy a glass there and buy a couple of bottles to gift.

Haven't been back since 3 years ago and this winery gotten so much cooler. There's plenty of outside seating now in the orchard and vineyard. It's beautiful. The wines are pretty good too! The lady was awesome and let us try it before we bought 2 bottles. We got a white and a red. I forgot what we got but it was tasty. Better than the one down the street as we just came from there. Since it's outside seating, dog friendly! Very hot but nice on a beautiful day.

This was our first time visiting Julian, and someone at Calico Cider recommended we try Volcan Mountain Winery because they have the best view. When we got there it was the one place that had plenty of guests on a Friday afternoon, but not too crowded. Mel greeted us right away, and mentioned they weren't doing tastings that day, just glasses and bottles. But while we were deciding what we wanted to drink she let us taste quite a few options anyway to help us decide. The wine was great, but Mel was a true treat. We made conversation with her as she still walked around making everyone else feel attended to and she treated everyone like a friend. I mentioned to her that I forgot to apply sunscreen and she reached behind the counter for some and took me outside to spray me down. Talk about service. Then Mel gave us a full photo shoot inside because she wanted us to remember our first time in Julian. Aside from her great service, she knew a ton about their wine selection and was able to tell us all about flavors. We will 10/10 be back next time we're in town. Thanks again Mel! Outside is also very pretty, truly was the best view, and there's nice space to walk around and take photos if that's your vibe!

My wife and I have been to Storum Ranch in the past and we love this place…read more It's a little off the beaten path from Julian, but it's well worth the drive. When you park, the building is a little unassuming. However, once you walk in, there's a fantastic little bar where you can order different ciders. We always get a flight to share and bring it outside. They have a sitting area with a pretty view. My wife swears the air is crisper there... It's relaxing. Inside they also have a wonderful selection of infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They have tasting cups and crackers to find the one you like. The cherry balsamic is a staple at our household, and we always have a rotation of at least 2 or 3 olive oils from here at any given time. Fantastic!

Storum was a fantastic stop for some cider! We didn't try their wine but I really enjoyed their…read morecider. Specifically the King David was my favorite but I also liked the Goldrush. They offer two different pre set flights for $10 or you can customize flights for $12. Glasses are $10 or you can do tasters for $3, this is all for ciders. The inside seating has a few nice tables and the outside looks to have a good amount as well. The location is great as you can hop around to a few wineries and it's very peaceful. Jenna was super helpful and informative on the options there. Would absolutely come back again!

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".
