Overlooking the serene waters of Lake Casitas, the 38th Annual Ojai Wine Festival invites you to experience the artistry of winemaking in one of California's most beautiful settings. As a proud participant in Ventura County's longest-running wine festival, Ojai Mountain brings our estate-grown, regeneratively farmed wines from the heights of Sulphur Mountain to this idyllic lakeside gathering.
An Afternoon of Discovery
Savor award-winning wines from distinguished Ojai Valley producers, explore exceptional craft beers and spirits, and discover artisan crafts from local makers. Your admission includes a keepsake crystal wine glass—a memento of an afternoon spent celebrating the valley's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Stroll among gourmet food trucks offering culinary delights that complement the afternoon's pourings. Take a complimentary ride on the Rotary Boat to experience Lake Casitas from the water. Browse the silent auction featuring private tasting experiences, VIP winery tours, and artisan treasures. As pouring concludes at 4:00 PM, settle in for live music on the lakeside dance floor at 4:30 PM.
Ojai Mountain at the Festival
From our estate vineyard at 2,800 feet on Sulphur Mountain, we bring wines shaped by extreme elevation and regenerative farming practices. Taste how cool mountain nights, persistent winds, and organically grown Rhône varietals translate into wines of exceptional depth and character—a distinct expression of Ojai's high-altitude terroir.
Supporting Our Community
The Ojai Wine Festival benefits the Rotary Club of Ojai-West Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving education, supporting low-income families, and enriching the lives of area youth. Your participation helps fund vital programs including the Rotary Floating Classroom, the Third Grade Dictionary Project, Nordhoff High School scholarships, and free summer band concerts for the Ojai community.
