Guided Vineyard Experience

Yes — all tastings are by appointment only. The estate is private property at 2,800 feet in Upper Ojai, and every visit is prepared individually. We don't accept walk-ins. Online booking is available anytime and requires 48 hours' notice. If you're hoping to visit sooner, email or text us and we'll do our best to accommodate. → Book a visit

Yes — the minimum is 2 guests. Tastings involve a sommelier traveling to the mountain and wines being opened specifically for your visit, so we're not able to accommodate a single guest. If you're visiting solo, reach out at info@ojaimountainestate.com and we'll see what we can arrange. → Book a visit

Our tastings are designed as private, sommelier-led experiences at a remote mountaintop estate, and the minimum reservation we are able to accommodate is two guests. Each visit includes opening five estate wines and serving a curated charcuterie accompaniment, along with time to explore the vineyard story and farming practices. Hosting a single guest unfortunately is not viable within this format.

We host tastings between 11 am and 5 pm, with most visits beginning at 11 am, 2 pm, or 4:45 pm (the sunset slot, available mid-March through September). Each has its own character: 11 am is cooler and quieter with the vineyard at its freshest; 2 pm gives warm afternoon light across the valley; and 4:45 pm ends with the Ojai sunset — the orange flare over the Pacific followed by the Pink Moment over the Topa Topas. If none of the listed times work, email or text us at info@ojaimountainestate.com or 805.214.4339 and we'll do our best to accommodate.

You may cancel or reschedule up to 48 hours before your visit for a full refund — no questions asked, no fees. Cancellations inside the 48-hour window are non-refundable because tastings are private and prepared specifically for your group: wines are pulled, the board is assembled, and staffing is arranged in advance.

Weather exception: if a significant storm is forecast, you may cancel or reschedule regardless of timing and receive a full refund. In the rare case that we need to cancel due to unsafe road or ridge conditions, we'll always refund in full and help you find an alternative time. → Book a visit

Online booking requires 48 hours' notice to allow us to prepare properly. If you're in Ojai and hoping to visit sooner, email info@ojaimountainestate.com or text 805.214.4339 — we'll let you know if there's availability. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, especially mid-week. Last-minute requests for special occasions — proposals, surprise celebrations, spontaneous group visits — are particularly worth asking about.

All three time slots — 11 am, 2 pm, and 4:45 pm — offer the same experience. The 11 am slot tends to be cooler and the vineyard is freshest in the morning light. The 4:45 pm slot, available mid-March through September, gives you a chance to catch the famous Ojai sunset and, on clear evenings, both the orange moment over the Pacific and the Pink Moment over the Topa Topas. → Book a visit

Three options, each suited to a different kind of visit:

• Private Wine Tasting ($125/guest) — a private open-air vineyard walk followed by a sommelier-guided seated tasting of estate wines with small bites. Bookable online for groups of 2–20.
• Tasting & Jeep Transport ($200/guest) — transportation from anywhere in Ojai to the ridge in an open-air vintage jeep with Cloud Climbers, followed by the full tasting experience at the estate. 4-guest minimum; jeep capacity up to 6.
• Custom & Special Occasions — for proposals, anniversaries, corporate groups, or any visit that calls for more than the standard format. Extended time, optional photographer, light food, or décor can be arranged. Contact us at info@ojaimountainestate.com to plan.
