Barrel 1 Winery

This place was amazing! My roommates and I had the best time and will most definitely be going back. The tasting was $ 10 for about 5 wines and they let you repeat your favorite, What?! Glasses were $ 8 each and bottles ran about $ 24 – 30 a steal in my opinion. Audrey took incredible care of us even though she was pretty busy and the wines were absolutely delicious. I loved their story of how they got started and that the wine making process is done completely by Audrey her husband Tom and Tom’s father. Even though they just opened they were running very smoothly and the environment is absolutely charming probably due to the fact that Audrey is an interior designer. I purchased their muscat which was phenomenal and even though I don’t usually like white wines, this one was just too delicious to pass up. I also really liked that they offered a complimentary personal sized charcuterie plate! I don’t know if they’re planning on doing this forever, but I hope so the cheeses, crackers, and salami complimented our wines perfectly. Can’t wait to go back and try more wines and of course to say Hi to Cooper the dog.

Delicious Wine, cheeses and a gorgeous setting with views that are forever. So many different favors to choose from. Enjoy for afternoon or for evening or both!

Just had our first visit! All the wines were great, but Audrey’s «special blends» were winners!!! Name it, and slap a label on it ASAP! We’ll be back; -)

Awesome hospitality for this new winery. Quality owners. On its way to greatness. Finally a place where old fashion hospitality is understood. We like the Muscat the best!

Great find today. The owners are great and willing to share about their wine. Looking forward to going back

We had such a wonderful time here today! The wine was great, they have a very unique taste. The company; Audrey, and the ambiance was extremely relaxing. Their home and the grounds are beautiful and immaculate. We had the pleasure of meeting their sweet old pup, Cooper, their darling chickens and watching wild birds. We showed up 20 minutes before closing and spent an hour chatting with Audrey and enjoying the evening. I could have stayed there all night! Barrel 1 is truly a gem and I can’t wait to return.

Went there with my fiancé and had a great time…
Tom and Audrey are great and very knowledgeable when it comes to wine and the vines, good stuff!
There 2012 vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and their infamous Black Widow Merlot was my favorite!
There tasting room is centered on the Estate which evokes a Tuscan ranch style and I have to say is aesthetically pleasing to the eye…
If your in the Ramona area it’s a must visit, Have fun and «Cheers»
Best Regards

Barrel 1 Winery provides a great overall wine tasting experience. My friend and I went out to check out this new winery at their first weekend opening. The estate grown wines are delicious, especially the Tempranillo and Merlot! Can’t wait to try the Cabernet when it gets released. The tasting area is set in the midst of a beautiful family ranch & vineyards in Ramona California. Horses grazing and free range chickens enjoying the landscape too. I wanted to stay all day! Audrey, who runs the tasting area is friendly and makes the experience delightful. I will be back often!

True Estate winery experience. Surprisingly good wines. Beautiful place to enjoy the afternoon. Loved their Black Widow Merlot.
