Old winery grounds with small shops, a coffee stop and wood-fired pizza. Reviewers mention gelato keeping their kids happy while adults taste. Lots of outdoor seating, though several say it stays hot outside despite shade and misters. Dogs are not allowed and one patio is adults only. Food reports vary.
One of Southern California's oldest continuously operating wineries, now mostly a village of artisan shops, a coffee roaster and a casual Italian kitchen on shady grounds. Daytime is genuinely family-friendly — go for the shops and the outdoor tables, and skip the evening events, which skew adult.

Very cute place with little shops in addition to the winery and kitchen! Lots of outdoor seating. Wine was pretty good, with choices for a bigger or smaller flight, or by the glass. We got the sangria for the hot day, decent but didn’t taste like fresh fruit mixed in besides the single orange slice, was $42 for a carafe. The pizza in particular was great, bruschetta was decent but not as flavorful as I hoped and a little soggy. I would definitely go back for the pizza. Great place to hang out with friends and they have a dedicated 21+ patio. No pets allowed though fyi. Quite warm when seated outside despite the shade and misting

Wine tasting setting in a community atmosphere. Walk the "street" and see an Italian restaurant (great parmesan fries, apple & gorgonzola pizza) fed 4 of us. Ladies clothes shop. $20 tastes of 3 wines - large 3 oz pours. We bought a bottle to drink and 6 to take home. Their merlot was wonderful. Even our non red drinking person liked it.
