Before we checked into our plush, a/c cranked up rooms, we made a couple wine tasting stops. Ojai only has a few wineries but at least the drive is much closer than the wineries in Santa Barbara and Napa. It's perfect for a quick weekend getaway.
There were lots of dogs on the premises.
After our wine tasting, we picked up a bottle of their Rose for our lunch in the picnic area.
This was a delicious zucchini ricotta cheesecake from 101 Cookbooks which my friend made into a tart with the use of a pastry crust. I really liked the citrus from the lemon zest.
Homemade apple cake was a nice end to our meal.
There are only a hand full of wine tasting rooms and even fewer wineries in the area. Our next and final stop was the Casa Barranca Tasting Room in town.

The winery produces organic wines. I also liked the Rose here, it's such a perfect light summer drink.
Stay tuned for our "wild" dinner and bar night out...

I've been obsessed with Rose this summer - can't get enough of it! Will have to check out Ojai some time... but first, Napa in October!!! :) :) :)
this place sounds cute and sounds like a great way to have a girl's only weekend.
Mmmmm I wanna drink wine and eat a zucchini ricotta quiche now. Congrats to your gal pal!
