Old Creek Ranch & Winery - Ventura, California

Old Creek Ranch & Winery is a must-visit winery when in the Santa Barbara and Ojai area. It is a beautiful plot of land tucked away at the end of a dead end street and is completely picturesque. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable, and very chill. The wine is decently priced and very good. There’s little shaded spots where you can sit and split a bottle or two with your partner or group of friends and just relax. I have never been more chill or happy than when I’ve been here, no joke! Highly recommend visiting OCR&W!! You are truly missing out of it you don’t.

Old Creek Ranch & Winery offers a great wine-tasting experience, especially if you’re looking for good deals on cases. Their wine selection was solid, hitting all the right notes, and the staff did a great job recommending pairings. However, one major downside was the lack of food options.

While they were very knowledgeable about what pairs well with each wine, they didn’t have any food available for purchase. If you plan to visit, I’d highly recommend bringing your own snacks. A charcuterie board with cheese and crackers would be perfect—especially the Unexpected Cheddar from Trader Joe’s.

Overall, it was a good experience with quality wines and great deals, but the absence of food options was disappointing. If they added even a small selection of snacks, it would elevate the experience significantly.

Very nice and friendly atmosphere. I didn’t like the view we had but there was no other choice. The wine tasted just fine. Will come back with reservations for a better spot.

What an amazing place! Our 1st time here on 6/1 and definitely not our last. These were the best wines that I’ve ever had. Did a tasting and went home with 3 bottles. Beautiful vineyards by where you are sat and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Old Creek Ranch Winery offers a stunning setting, with beautiful grounds and peaceful surrounding, especially on a quiet Monday. It’s a relaxing spot to take in the views of the vineyard while sipping a glass.

We were a bit disappointed to learn that the wine we tried wasn’t from the vineyard itself. Apparently, they had a fungus issue a while back, and it will be several years before they can use their own grapes again. But honestly, the views and the ambiance make up for it, and we’d definitely come back for the experience.

All the wines I tried were beautiful I really loved wine but the server’s hospitality.
I don’t know other peoples experience, it was my first time visit here and it was so off. But at least I bought 2 wines home

We loved it! This was my first time here and it's definitely definitely a different experience. We were met at the entrance by the very enthusiastic and fun Carl, who escorted us to our private seating area. BTW, we had not made reservations...but we were promptly taken care of by Peyton, who was adorable. We did a tasting for two (very small pours) and then decided to split a bottle of the Fire Station Red, which we loved. It was a breezy spot, even on a hot day and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I'll definitely be back!!

Such a beautiful property!! Very whimsical and lush. Lots of lounge seating, nice facilities, and great wine options. Not much food (light snacks are available for purchase). Great staff and friendly service. Highly recommend a visit!
