Things To Do
The Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room
With over 300 wines to enjoy, The Ojai Vineyard is one of our favorite tasting rooms in Ojai. Tastings and wines by the bottle or glass are available for your to enjoy on their outdoor patios and inside. Reservations are highly recommended.
Majestic Oak Vineyard and Wine Tasting
Right in the heart of downtown Ojai, the Majestic Oak Vineyard is a small tasting room with a beautiful outdoor patio and spacious inside area. Enjoy a wine flight tasting or wines by the bottle or glass. All tables are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and they only accept reservations for parties of 7 or more.
Topa Topa Brewing Company
Located in downtown Ojai, go to Topa Topa Brewery and enjoy a cold beer (or a beer flight!) at the bar and some food from the walk up window of Little Sama Ojai (we recommend the tater tots). Then grab a spot on the patio and take in the view of the majestic Topa Topa mountains. If you stay until sunset you just might get to see the Topa Topa’s famous “pink moment.” There’s nothing like sipping a pint of Chief Peak while admiring the actual Chief Peak.
Ojai Valley Brewery & Winery
Ojai Valley Brewery specializes in creating beers that use the local botanicals from the hills & farms of Ojai. They are also experimenting in the world of wine products so you can try their Rosé of Syrah & Grenache on tap along with some experimental meads and rice seltzer. The atmosphere of the brewery is friendly, and you can enjoy your drinks in their tasting room or spacious beer garden.
Carolïna Gramm Extra Virgin Olive Oil Products
Ojai is home to some of the country's best harvests, including olives. So it's no surprise that you'll find stores dedicated solely to small-batch, locally made olive oil. Visit Carolina Gramm's charming olive oil store in downtown Ojai to explore her extensive collection of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, the majority of which she makes herself. The store also offers an olive oil tasting, where you'll be able to sample some of the best olive oil in Ojai.
Heavenly Honey Company
Wine tasting or olive oil tasting not your thing? Go to Heavenly Honey for a honey tasting of some of the best local honeys that Ojai has to offer. Their tasting room is a unique experience where you can learn more about honey and taste it. Heavenly Honey's philosophy about honey is a lot like fine wine, and they believe it is a direct reflection of the area from which it is produced, the weather, location and floral sources and harvesting all influence the honey’s individual character.
The Spa at the Ojai Valley Inn
Looking to relax and completely zen out before a weekend full of festivities? Visit the Spa at the Ojai Valley Inn and indulge in the many services that they have to offer. A spa day at the Inn also includes access to two pools, a fully-equipped gym, Mind & Body classes, Spa Boutique, Artist Cottage & Apothecary, and Spa Café, offering a menu of fresh, healthy indulgences.
Golf at the Ojai Valley Inn
In a setting as natural as Ojai, it is only fitting that it is also home to one of America's premier Southern California golf resorts and championship golf course at the Ojai Valley Inn. Whether you're looking to play 18 holes by yourself or with friends, the Inn offers specialized golf packages to fit a number of needs.
The Dutchess

We recommend coming here for breakfast, lunch or dinner - you can't go wrong with anything here!
