I had heard about their famed apple wine and had to check it out! We each got a glass of their 2021 Dolcezza Dulce, Estate Grown Hart Family Orchard. It's a slightly sweet apple wine produced entirely from apples from their orchard. Super crisp and light- perfect to enjoy on a sunny day!

Wonderful friendly owners and I always feel like I'm treated like an old family friend. It is now a mandatory stop any time we find ourselves in Julian.

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!

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!

Milagro Farm is just that, a working farm with many aspects, including the winery. The tasting room, patio, and barrel room facilities have a rustic vibe, but are very nice. The staff was friendly and provides a lot of information on the various wines they offer. WINES: We shared a tasting of 5 whites and 5 reds. They have a large selection of varietals, including a Sparkling, Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Barbera, Cab Sauv, Petite Sirah, and some blends. The wines are okay, not necessarily matching my palate, but others seem to really enjoy them. I always say that with wine, what I like/dislike may differ from your palate, so I suggest that you try them out yourselves. Overall, a relaxing, enjoyable time and location.

Some of the shops are very cute . But they are kind of precious and not really something you would want to shop at unless you were buying a gift for somebody and don't mind overpaying.
