A two-day Malibu & Ventura wine country itinerary: where to taste, eat and linger, built from local knowledge.
Day one: Ojai's downtown rooms and Old Creek Ranch's fire pits. Day two: Ventura Harbor, the Market Street block and Muni's karaoke Sunday.
The region sits about an hour from central Los Angeles via the Pacific Coast Highway, which makes the logistics easy and the pace unhurried.
September-October for harvest, or any clear winter weekend when the Topatopas earn their pink moment.
Confirm hours before every stop; the family-scale rooms that make this region special also adjust their schedules with the seasons.
Every winery we track in the region, each with its own page.
