Herzog Wine Cellars

We stopped in for a wine tasting and I was very impressed with our server Dawn! She was very knowledgeable and was excellent with her presentation! Very good selection… we ended up buying 6 bottles of wine! Highly recommended to see this hidden treasure!

Thank you Herzog for a great experience and very tasty wines. Dawn did an outstanding job explaining each wine. She is very knowledgeable and professional.

Recently friends arrived from SoCal bearing a bottle of your 2014 Chenin Blanc. It was quite delicious and went especially well with old friends who had some serious catching up to do. Want that 5^th star? Just tell my husband that yes, you do sell t-​shirts with your «morphing motorcycle» label. Just make his day !

What a great hidden gem in Ventura county! Dawn, our wine server was super knowledgeable and patient. She makes me want to quit my day job and serve wine all day! The winery is staffed very well and is a great place to just chill out for an evening or afternoon.
I just joined the cellar club and am looking forward to our next visit.
Drive down Malibu and PCH and check it out!

The best local winery. The quality of the wine is very good. I like that they have different price points. They have very tasty inexpensive wines and expensive wines if that’s your preference. Great customer service, especially erin and grace.

Five stars all the way! Affordable, tasty wines, great staff, yummy tapas, I could go on and on. Erin is our favorite wine pourer but honestly, everyone is super awesome there. I have never had a bad experience. The only downfall is, being a Kosher winery, they are closed on Saturdays, but they are open all other days of the week, and early too. Do yourself a favor and visit this place!

Came to wine taste and had a blast. Erin was a joy and the appetizers were amazing. Can’t wait to come back.

I’ve visited this location with and without Groupons and I’ve always had a lovely experience. I love it here so much that I just joined one of their wine clubs last week. I love the restaurant Tierra Sur and was very happy to find a fine dining location in Oxnard. I’m so very excited to embark on this new relationship with Herzog.

WINGS, WEATHER, AND WINE, part three of a three part series
Winding down another adventurous day with The Crew, Herzog Wine Cellars was our third and final stop before heading back to LA, back to reality. Tucked away from the main drag and the hustle and bustle of city life, Herzog Wine Cellars produces world-​class wines from local sourced premier grape growing regions.
This high tech, state of the art wine making facility constructed over the course of a 10-​year period offers guided and self-​guided tours, modern tasting room, gift shop, indoor and outdoor seating, tasty Mediterranean inspired contemporary Californian Cuisine, and catering.
The staff is friendly and if you’re looking to purchase a bottle or more of wine, they are all knowledgeable on the wines they sell.

I love Herzog! First place I’ve ever gone wine tasting and certainly won’t be the last!
Came here on both occasions with my dental hygiene crew and food, wine and service is always TOP NOTCH. The décor is fancy, the vibes are fun and you can’t go wrong with the tempura salmon as a appetizer.
From my experiences, Martin and Erin were excellent in serving us along with the guy with the beard who took over later on (sorry can’t remember your name). Everyone is friendly and makes sure your glass is never empty.
My favorite wine is number 6 on the wine tasting menu, which is the dessert wine. I think I paid around ~$ 20 for a bottle which is a great deal because purchasing a bottle of wine will cover the cost of the tasting. And if you’re really pinching pennies, the least expensive wine bottle for purchase is ~$ 13.
Food quality is phenomenal based off the beets & apple salad, lamb chorizo dishes, sweet potato fries and the all time fave tempura salmon. Beautiful presentation and amazing quality ingredients.
If you get a chance, take a tour of the winery. It’s the largest Kosher wine cellar in the whole world. Pretty cool to know it’s located in your hometown (if you’re from Oxnard haha). I’m thinking of becoming a wino member here :)

Janet was the best ever! Many other wineries have pretentious overtones and are not very informative. That is certainly not the case here! The conversation was delightful, the food was delicious and most importantly the wine was tasty. Best of all was our helper Janet who rapped up the entire package in such a wonderful way! Thank you!!!

Came here on New Year’s Eve with some friends and I’m glad we did.
Once we got here, they had their own parking lot and finding parking wasn’t an issue at all. The structure of the building is very clean, modern and beautiful.
Once you come inside, everything looks rustic, European and pretty. They have a section for cigars, sweets that go well with wine, wine accessories, wine bottles, a lovely restaurant and a wine tasting table.
They were able to accommodate me and four other friends around the wine tasting bar and our server, Ed, was fantastic. He was so knowledgable with wine and was able to answer all of our questions. He was also able to let us try some wines outside of the set wine list which was super awesome of him.
Later, we had reservations at the restaurant within the winery and the food and service were both amazing. I got the roast beef sandwich and we shared the fried banana dessert.
Baron Herzog Wine Cellars has created an amazing kosher wine and dine experience. I definitely recommend coming here with a group of friends or on a date.
Enjoy!

Love the staff, appetizers and food are amazing, and of course the most importantly the wine is great. Nice classy ambiance with a strange yet cozy location.

Unfortunately, sat there for 15 minutes (8:35pm) at the tasting room while 3 servers walked by me, looked at me and pretended I wasn’t there and did nothing and avoided eye contact…
When I caught their attention they pretended like I showed up out of nowhere, gave me ONE out of six pours at 8:50pm and said «This is your last pour, we’re closed.» Then the «manager» comes up to me and asks «Do you have a problem?» Quite aggressive, I might add.
Never had this experience in my life, nonetheless, disrespected.
I’m not going to waste anymore time reviewing because I’ll let their poor customer service speak for itself.
Definitely not holding anymore company dinners here. You’re welcome Herzog for the honest review. Need to work on your customer service and human skills — not the way to interact with customers even if you want to close.

Be prepared to wait and wait and wait.
Went on a Tuesday for wine and food an it started off good with the young girl pouring wine but after she disappeared it went downhill fast. We were the only ones at the tasting bar so she was helpful and was on top of the first two pours. Then these two older women came in and acted like we weren’t even there. Just doing dishes, stocking things and talking amongst themselves. Had to raise our arms to get their attention for the last four pours.
And it’s cool they are trying to support local breweries, but have them in stock! I forget what I asked for but 3 times in a row the little old lady with black shoulder length hair came back and told me they didn’t have it. Can you go check what you actually have in stock and tell me and then I will decide? Finally got a Lizard Mouth and when I asked for another one, that was the last one. Shocker!
I’m frustrated, we’ve been here long enough and it takes that same little lady 25 minutes to ring up our bill. Literally 25 minutes!!! If you can’t do it, get some help!!! Which she finally did and a minute later we were done.
Went here only because of the living social deal, which the deal itself was good, but I won’t go back.

My boyfriend and I came here yesterday with a Living Social voucher. $ 45 included: wine tasting for 2 (6 pours each), 2 wine glasses + 1 bottle of wine to take home, and a $ 50 credit towards the Tierra Sur restaurant (lunch or dinner). Such a great deal!
We decided to start our day with lunch — everything was delicious! We had the Platillo Trio as an appetizer; we chose the corn fritters, chili rellenos, and black bean hummus as the three options. For our main courses, we ordered the Salmon and the Fettuccini Pasta. We didn’t order any dessert, and opted for beer over wine, since we’d doing the tasting afterwards. I enjoyed my Firestone Walker Opal Dry Hopped Saison, but my boyfriend thought his Figueroa Mountain Lizards Mouth was just okay (I tasted it, it was quite bitter). We did end up spending a decent amount above the $ 50 credit (also, 18% gratuity was already included on the bill), but all our food items were very flavorful, so it was a nice treat.
Then we went to the bar for the tastings. Initially there were no empty seats, so we were kind of standing around until we found a spare chair here and there that we pulled over to our area. Luckily we were still able to start our tasting though, in spite of not being seated. Our young female bartender was very friendly and the tasting started off well, but then halfway through, she disappeared. Unfortunately, she never introduced herself, so we couldn’t inquire about her by name. There was an older woman with a short bob haircut who was coming around and asking everyone how their tasting was going, but then she didn’t act upon it. For example, when we told her, we’re waiting for our next tasting, she said okay, and then carried on with whatever she was doing before. Finally a third woman with long, dark hair came up to us, and when we attempted to describe our first bartender, she told us that she had gone to lunch, and that she can assist us with the 4^th tasting. Then a gentleman came and offered to pour us the 5^th, and finally, our original bartender came back from lunch and gave us the last pour.
While all 6 pours were great, I just wish the service was a little more organized and professional — since we didn’t know our bartender had gone to lunch, we were aimlessly waiting around and the overall tasting probably took twice as long as it should have — we were served by 4 different people by the end of it (which seemed silly) and there were couples who showed up after us who were finished well before we were! Also, I’m describing the three different women we interacted with in detail because, as mentioned, no one introduced themselves, so it was hard to keep track of who we could ask for our next pour — it seemed like you couldn’t just ask anyone and had to wait for the same person you started with.
Overall, it was a nice afternoon, but I will admit, we only came because I had bought the Living Social deal, so we probably will not be back. Not sure if it was worth the 1:15 drive (one way), but it was nice to visit a different town to change things up.

We came in with a groupon deal but we’re not treated any different than regular paying customers.
The overall feel of the tasting room is quite welcoming and social. A few high tables and plenty of bar seating.
Our wine host was Grace and she was more than gracious to us. Her friendly and social personality made our visit more welcoming. We mentioned to her how we love exploring different restaurant and she had some great suggestions for us.
The wine tasting itself was great. We started off light with the whites to the bold and flavorful reds and ended with a dessert wine. They were all fabulous.
We chose the wine we wanted as a part of our groupon deal and headed off to dinner. After dinner our wine and souvenirs glasses were packed and waiting for us in the tasting room.
Will definitely be back for more tasting in the near future.

So — there is a winery in Oxnard. and it is kosher. Who knew? The «tour» is just walking around a hallway full of framed photos and informational blurbs, but the tasting room has really nice ambiance, and they even have a farmer’s market. This is a great stop to come by for a glass of wine in the tasting room. They impressed me with a couple of their wines, and others were big misses for me. I recommend tasting before buying as consistency does not seem to be their bread and butter, but it is a nice addition to the neighborhood. Let’s be honest, we weren’t expecting Napa.

We met my family here for wine tasting and lunch. We arrived early so took the self-​guided tour of the winery. They were not bottling while we were looking down on the facility but the signage describing the history of the company and their wine making processes was very interesting.
There is a $ 10 charge for wine tasting. Six wines are presented. The wine maven, I think his name was Jonathan, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He didn’t mind that we shared a tasting. I was driving so just took a sip of my husband’s glasses.
If you go to Herzog for lunch at Tierra Sur, take the time to do the self-​guided winery tour.

Had a fabulous time at Herzog. Customer service was outstanding. Food was delish and portions were huge. Wines were ok… I’ve had better. A bit pricey for the quality, I think. I really liked the Black Muscat.
A couple of gals from our party frequented this place and were VIPs so the wines were poured like they were water. We did not get kicked out for being a loud bunch. In fact, the hostest joined us in our conversations and selfies.
Will definitely be back again!
