Cornell Winery & Tasting Room

The food at Cornell Wine is incredibly delicious, reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is so charming. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.
Also the wine was perfect tasty.

Cool hang out, you can get wine at the winery and next door 🚪 you can get some great food, very eclectic kind of place, super chill for a Sunday afternoon 👍

Cool place to chill, have some wine or pa's outdoors

great spot and a cool scene

Did the specialty tasting and bought some meat, cheese, bread as well. Very good overall, loved the wines. Good pours.

Cornell Winery is such a unique spot. One of our favorites with an incredible wine selection! You can tell the owners truly put their heart and soul into Cornell. ❤️

So glad we decided to stop here. Such a beautiful area. My sister had never been wine tasting and while this wasn't a vineyard experience it was so much better than a downtown wine bar. It's a cozy spot to sit and sip. You can read a book or play a game. There's a small snack selection available or a restaurant bar just next door. It was nice to just take in the atmosphere. Our Wine-tender was amazing! Very friendly and helpful! I suggest you stop by if your in the area. We even caught a glimpse of a peacock where we parked our car. The bridge across the street was beautiful too.

One of my favorite places! Feels like another world and their wine selection is incredible.

Do yourself a favor and go to a winery in Napa. This place had more of a dive bar feel than a winery.

My wife and I love this place. We live in Calabasas and come here at least once a week once the weather warms up. The choice of wine is stellar and the setting is unmatched.

I’m giving them 4 out of 5 stars for one reason. They don’t seem to be able to keep their whites and rose’s chilled. Either they don’t have a powerful enough fridge or they don’t have a back up fridge where they take their (supposed to be) chilled wines from to restock their front of house when they’re busy. This wouldn’t be a problem if they had buckets and ice, but they don’t (not sure on the buckets, a definite no on the ice). If anyone with a connection to this wonderful place is reading this review PLEASE remedy this! It makes such a difference on a hot sunny day to have your wine at a refreshingly cold temperature.

My partner and I wanted to bring our friends who were visiting from Boston to a place in the mountains to taste some wine and have a nice time. We found this place while researching and saw a flyer on their website saying that tonight was Cumbia Night--you pay $10 for entrance into the space to listen to the music and get a tamale. It was advertised as beginning at 5 pm. We arrived about half an hour prior, got our wristbands, and waited for the music to begin. The property and space was beautiful and we were looking forward to the event.

Around 5:30, we asked a staff member when the food and music would start and were told five minutes. We asked at least one more time and were brushed off. By 6 pm, we were invited to the self serve food area to get the tamales. As my friends were serving themselves, an older woman behind us in line started very loudly and presumptuously saying that only one tamale per person was allowed. Of course, she was not an employee, but she and some other patrons made me and my group of friends (all non-white) feel quite unwelcome. Quite a few stares were sent our way as we were just trying to enjoy the space like everyone else.

At this point it was more than an hour after the music that we paid extra to listen to was scheduled to start. The room we paid for "access" to, including seating, was packed and not enjoyable to be in, so we went to eat our somewhat sad tamales outside with a bottle of wine.

At 6:45, the band started playing. We were kind of turned off from the whole thing by then, but tried to stop by the room to try to enjoy the "cumbia". No shade to the musicians, but the music they played was by no means cumbia. I would say they played a mix of reggae-lite and soft rock. Nothing wrong with that, just not what we paid for. Even if we had wanted to dance, there simply would not have been enough room to do so comfortably.

We ended up leaving around 7, pretty disappointed with the experience. Had I known what this "event" would actually be, I would have brought my friends somewhere else. We talked about it and all felt a little bit scammed. If they were going to charge money for guests to sit in a tiny room, listen to music, and eat a tamale, they really should have ensured it started on time--not two hours after the time that was advertised. It's a shame that we had a bad experience, because the space was lovely and staff was generally friendly.

This place is amazing! We were looking at lots of wineries to visit on the way down from big sur back to LA and we’re so glad we chose here! We visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon and it was buzzing with people. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options and loved the tasting. All the wines were delicious and you got a decent amount of each. Not the place to go for an in depth knowledge of the wine but for a chilled afternoon or evening it was great. Only thing that would make it better would be some background music!

Beautiful and wonderful place

Was looking for a cute wine bar to take my hot guy to and stumbled on this hidden gem Cornell Wine Co. If you are looking for the coolest place in the mountains to sip wine, look no further! The wine selections are phenomenal, snacks are delicious (get the beer cheese and pretzels - thank me later) and local art and gifts. If you are lucky you might even see the roaming peacocks!! Truly a magical place to pretend you are in wine country. Cheers! ?
