The Food Event 2026

Ojai Mountain is pouring at Los Angeles magazine's 20th annual The Food Event, held on the lawns and oak groves of Calamigos Ranch in the Malibu hills. One ticket covers unlimited tastings from dozens of L.A. restaurants, plus boutique wineries, craft breweries, cocktails and spirits.

Find our table for three estate wines, each grown and bottled on a single mountaintop vineyard in Upper Ojai.

Wines We're Pouring

2025 Estate White: Vinous 93 Points. Our newest release, from the driest season on record at the estate (46% of normal rainfall). A blend of Grenache Blanc, Picpoul and Roussanne with quince, white peach and white flowers, finishing saline and mineral. Billy Norris of Vinous noted its "lovely body and fruit generosity." Limited to 300 cases.

2022 Estate Red: Vinous 94 Points. The first Estate Red built entirely around Rhône varieties: 45% Grenache and 44% Mourvèdre, with small additions of Tempranillo and Syrah. Pomegranate, boysenberry, white pepper and crushed stone, taut and savory. Limited to 268 cases.

2022 Syrah: Vinous 96 Points, Wine Enthusiast 94 Points Editors' Choice. The most powerful Syrah the estate has made, from a single clone in our original block. Dark blueberry, violets, coffee and cracked pepper, with firm tannins built to age through 2040. Limited to 135 cases.

Every wine is made by winemaker Erich Bradley and is available in our online shop.

“To make a single-varietal Syrah from a single vineyard — and have the wine hit all the right curves, in all the right places — that's a harder exercise than a blend. So when you've achieved it, it's worthy of recognition.”

What Makes Ojai Mountain Different

Ojai Mountain is the only winery in Ojai growing and producing wine entirely from its own estate grapes. The vineyard sits at 2,800 feet on fractured Monterey shale, ten miles from the Pacific, where cool nights keep acidity bright through a warm Southern California season.

The vines are hand-farmed, organic and regenerative. In the cellar, the wines ferment with native yeast, use only free-run juice and age in neutral French oak, so what you taste in Malibu is the site itself. Our winemaking approach →

About The Food Event

It returns to Calamigos Ranch, a 130-acre property in the Malibu hills, for an afternoon of restaurant tastings, wine, cocktails and craft beer. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite. The event is 21+ with valid photo ID, and all sales are final.
