2 months agoOutstanding wines!!! Colleen was very knowledgeable about the wines and the history of Ladera! We learned a ton and enjoyed absolutely incredible wines paired with a GREAT cheeseboard, chocolates and a view! Cozy atmosphere! Will certainly be back. We loved the wine so much we bought 3 bottles, to get us through until we return!

a year agoA very charming tasting room with impeccable setting and presentation. By far our favorite winery. Andrew Bryant went above and beyond for our gluten allergy. Enhanced our Lobster roll with a delicious gluten free roll. The very best gluten free lobster roll any of us have ever had and we are from Massachusetts!! Meeting their son, Dan Stotesbery and his wife, who is in a new hands on position. Even posing with us for a picture. Very down to earth feel!! Thank you Ladera Winery for the top notch tasting.

6 months agoTruly will be the most unique and personable wine tasting you do on the California coast. The wine speaks for itself. We were recommended by several locals and definitely see why they love this place to much. The wines we sampled were so much more intentional and pleasing to the palate regardless of what you like to drink. Highly highly recommend!

a year agoWhat a great find! We loved our experience at Ladera! The personal treatment, the quaint house, the delicious wines and fantastic pairings. We didn’t expect to become members but we bought so much wine that it made sense! Looking forward to going back!

a year agoA truly fantastic tasting. It is extremely intimate. We had over an hour one on one through the tasting learning every piece of information you could hope to learn regarding the grapes, the vineyards, the evolution of technology, as well as the trajectory of the wine Ladera is making. It was a fascinating experience that was our favorite from a long weekend of 8 tastings. There is a small perfectly curated cheeseboard with nuts and some fruit that also was truly astonishing. If possible Ladera deserves another star or two.
