We had a wonderful experience wine tasting at Ojai Vineyard tasting room. Our server, Brook was exceptional. She had extensive knowledge of the wines and was so kind and accommodating. We highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Ojai.

True Story: We came for the pumpkins... We stayed cause the grapes... We couldn't leave because the kids... Let me explain. On October 30th 2023, after picking our oldest daughter up from school, we had a little roadtrip planned to beautiful Ojai to check out... (Drum Roll Please) "Ojai's Pumpkin Patch" (o.k. Now a sad Trombone) Womp. Womp. Wompppp. What an absolute bust! Let's just say, we drove in, then we drove Right. Back. Out. Yes, after driving 43 miles for a pumpkin patch that just didn't pan out, my wife and I both looked at each other and said "well now what?" And THIS is where the grapes come in! Yes, beautiful grapes. Beautiful smushed grapes. Beautifully smushed liquid grapes. Beautifully smushed liquid grapes turned into red, white, even rosé colored... It's wine people! We stayed cause the Wine!! Yeah, as we made our way through this quaint little town, we decided that Ojai just wasn't ready to see us go. So we looked up wine tasting and Ojai Vineyards was the first place that popped up. And just in case you are keeping score... So far, Pumpkins 0, Fermented grapes 1. First things first... We Parked... (this may be foreshadowing) Then we made our way into Ojai Vineyards tasting room to check out their "liquid grapes". The tasting room itself was very nice; lots of open table seating, wine bar seating and a few outdoor tables perfect for our Southern California climate. Wine is offered by the glass, the bottle or in a flight. We went with a bottle of their 2022 Estate Wine which is 60% Ambulo Blanc, 40% Caminante Blanc, and 100% Delicious! The bottle features a beautiful oak tree? on the front and has a cool story on the back of how it's produced (see my photos below). We enjoyed the wine so much, we decided to take a bottle home to enjoy. Also available: Whites ------- -Sauvignon Blanc -Chardonnay -Rosé Reds ----- -Pinot Noir -Barbera -Syrah The staff was great, helpful and we really enjoyed relaxing while sipping on our chilled wine. Let's just say, Ojai Vineyards made the one-way 43 mile trip a little easier to swallow... Why we couldn't leave After we left the tasting room... A sign that read "Walkway to Libbey Park" was right in front of us. And if you have kids like us and you drag them to a wine tasting room while you and your significant other have a little R & R, there's No chance in hell your kids aren't gonna see that park sign once you're done. And trust me, they saw it! (But you know what, as good as the wine was, nothing beats chasing my kids around a park in a little game of tag) So the next time you find yourself coming up to Ojai for some pumpkins, remember this one important fact: You can't make wine out of pumpkins! Instead, come check out The Ojai Vineyards tasting room and see how they are turning grapes into wine!

During my first trip to Ojai, I did a small self-directed wine tour. Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room was the second stop on my list, and I appreciated the friendly service. I visited during a weekday afternoon, and while the place was not crowded it was surprisingly busy given the time of day. The server working that day definitely had to juggle a lot, but I got relatively prompt service. The wines were tasty, and I liked the casual atmosphere. This would be a great place if you are looking for a low-key wine tasting, and I would check it out again during a future Ojai visit.

Wines were pretty nice, but not necessarily anything to write home about, we got the Liberty flight. Ambiance was okay. My qualm was with service, which was cold, icy, and un-inviting. Maybe everyone was having a bad day, but as soon as we left my fiancé said "man, did we do something to upset them?"

Pedestrian wines. Arrogant service.Tried all the reds and none were superior to Costco $10 malbec, claret, etc. Seriously.And if I wanted to subject myself to pretentious bottle pourers, I would just go to LA.

My fiancé and I were stopping by Ojai and we stumbled upon this place. I am so glad we did! The staff were so kind and knowledgeable and the wine is delightful. We chose to sit in the back patio. It was quite peaceful with the music and the scenery of dried grapes. I would highly recommend a wine tasting here.

First time at this winery, the ambience is nice, and the wine was okay and the reason for the 3 stars. However, the service was not. The people at the front were not very friendly and almost looked like they were bothered. They seemed to be pretty friendly with everyone else though.

Cute tasting room, enjoyed the wine and ended up purchasing a fair amount of bottles to take home. Staff was knowledgeable about their products, but overall cold/unfriendly... although the demeanor improved slightly after we signaled we'd be placing an order. First time we've experienced this at a winery/tasting room. Maybe they were just having a bad day ...

Very good wine with many varieties and a range of prices depending on what you desire. Ojai Vineyard is a local winery that is about 3 miles from its tasting room downtown Ojai. They have many options from Sauvignon Blanc to Syrah. They work with UC Davis to develop varietal grapes that are naturally resistant to diseases and that create interesting wines. Because the grapes are locally grown, they pick up unique flavors and the winery uses different techniques to highlight or tweak them in the wine making process. They offer flights for 4 whites, 4 reds and 4 "library" specialty wines. Indoor ad well as outdoor seating. Check out the "library" room with its vast display of impressive wines. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. No food offered here, just wines. So be sure to have a little food in your tummy before you go so that you can really enjoy. Nice and relaxing experience.

Great wine. Good vibe. Bad customer service. Will return, but will brace for impact. Staff is not fond of older customers.
