Boccali Vineyards stands as a living testament to the enduring spirit of the Ojai Valley, with generations devoted to cultivating its sun-soaked vines. For decades they have woven their roots into the valley’s soil, crafting estate wines that reflect its rugged beauty and timeless character. In every glass, Boccali offers not just flavor- but the legacy of a place that has shaped them as much as they have shaped it.
Imagine rustic panini pressed warm, pastas bathed in garlicky pomodoro, and house-made sweets that melt at first bite - that's Gustos.
Gustos delivers that deli-style love with fresh grab-and-go freshness. It’s the kind of place where every sandwich tastes like a hug-quick, warm, and unforgettable.
The fine specimen on the label? That’s Mario—“farm-ripped” from years of hard work, and known just as much for his big heart as his strength. Each Christmas, he’d gift family and friends a small batch of his secret Sicilian hard espresso—a tradition so beloved that every bottle was savored until the next year’s came around. Today, Mario’s family carries on that legacy, crafting every bottle with the same love, care, and secret recipe. Crazy delicious and now celebrated with multiple gold medals and top tasting awards, Mario’s Hard Espresso invites you to live hard, love hard, and make every shared moment a little sweeter.
At Ojai Rôtie, the chicken turns slowly on the spit, perfumed with Lebanese spices that speak of sun-baked landscapes and ancient kitchens.
The bread - sourdough, torn by hand, is a companion to garlic, lemon, and smoke.
Every dish insists on flavor as a bridge between California and the middle east: za’atar, tahini, olives, herbs, each bite teaching us the wonder of another place.
Old Creek Ranch Winery is Ventura County’s only rural winery, located in Ojai Valley, and serves their premium wines. Open Thursday-Monday, 11 am to 5 pm, tasting flights and wine by the glass or bottle are served at an all outdoor venue with seating in shaded areas underneath a vine-covered trellis with vineyard views or at the shaded wine bar lounge.
Revel handcrafts a unique version of kombucha using organic honey, organic green tea, and fresh ingredients—all made right here in Ojai.
Their canned beverages are found throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, while their downtown Ojai kombucha bar serves seven flavors on tap, nitro coffee, and the best açaí bowls in town.
The heart of our project is a deep commitment to the global agro-ecology movement. That’s why we source only organic ingredients—protecting not just the planet, but the health and well-being of both farm workers and the people who enjoy our food. Only in rare circumstances do we make exceptions, because we believe good food should nurture everyone along the way.
There’s a quiet enchantment in Ojai, and it lives in every leaf and cup at Magic Hour Tea. For more than 30 years, Magic Hour has woven leaves into ritual, guided by one truth: a single cup of tea can heal, connect, and awaken like nothing else.
Each blend is an invitation-not just to drink, but to breathe, heal, and remember that magic is in shared moments - with every sip you honor regenerative farms, artisan growers, and the journey that brought you this moment.
Navarro Vineyards
Navarro Vineyards has been growing grapes and making wine in the Anderson Valley of coastal Mendocino since 1974, when Ted Bennett and Deborah Cahn planted their first vines. It has always been a labor of love, and now their children Aaron and Sarah have joined in carrying it forward. Small enough that you won't find their bottles in most stores, Navarro sells the majority of their wine directly from the tasting room and through personal orders, the old-fashioned way. We're glad to have them at Taste of Ojai.
Side Street Wine & Ojai Valley Brewery are two sides of the same voice — a creative conversation with the valley.
Our beers share the same spirit as our wines, expressing Ojai’s terroir through mineral-rich water and local botanicals, from wild chaparral herbs to citrus groves.
Together, we create seasonal love letters to Ojai — shaped by the land, inspired by the moment.
There’s a kind of joy you taste at Taco Roma - the tortillas come off the griddle and fold themselves around fillings so vibrant they almost sing. The salsas snap with citrus and chile, the meat carries the perfume of smoke and spice, and every bite feels like eating straight off the streets of Mexico City - messy, generous, alive. It’s food made with love, meant to be shared, and impossible not to crave again the moment you finish.
Side Street Wine & Ojai Valley Brewery are two sides of the same voice — a creative conversation with the valley.
Our wines are made from fruit grown in Ojai and nearby farms, each a living expression of its harvest. Every year is different, and we embrace the improvisation — “making jazz” with nature’s rhythms. Each label is an original artwork, reflecting the soul of the wine inside.
