Know before you go

Reservations
Confirm each winery's booking rules ahead, especially before driving out to Malibu or the Antelope Valley.
Tasting fees
Check each winery's tasting fee before you set out.
Getting there
Malibu's vineyards sit in the mountains above the Pacific Coast Highway, while the Antelope Valley lies roughly 50 miles north of metro Los Angeles.
Best time to visit
In spring, Antelope Valley poppies usually peak in late March or early April.
Getting around
The areas are far apart, so pick one per day and arrange a designated driver, a rideshare or a tour.

Event schedules vary by winery, so check each winery's calendar or Cruv's events list before you go.
