the vineyard experience

A Refined Tasting Experience in the Heart of Malibu

In January 2025, our beloved Pacific Coast Highway tasting room was lost in the Palisades Fire. We miss our community deeply—the laughter, the shared stories, and the joy of gathering over a glass of wine.

Now, we’re excited to welcome you back with the limited-time launch of The Vineyard Experience—a more intimate, reservation-only setting where we can reconnect, celebrate one another, and savor great wines together in an idyllic canyon landscape.

This new chapter allows us to host smaller groups, providing a deeper level of personalized service, thoughtful wine education, and exclusive tasting opportunities in a truly stunning setting.

The Vineyard Experience

Your visit includes a curated tasting flight of 5 Rosenthal and Surfrider wines, plus a rotating bonus pour—all enjoyed in our idyllic canyon vineyard setting nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Surrounded by serene vineyard views and majestic oak trees, this experience offers a true escape from the city, just minutes from the coast yet worlds away. Relax, unwind, and enjoy live music throughout each 2.5-hour visit.

While no food is available for purchase on-site, we warmly encourage you to bring your own picnic or snacks, along with any non-alcoholic beverages you’d like to enjoy.

Please note: Outside alcohol is not permitted on the property.

reserve pinot noir2019 Reserve Pinot Noir

Medium bodied Pinot. More rich and fuller bodied than what is typical in a traditional Pinot Noir. Low tannin. We get a bolder, more concentrated wine by using the “saignee” method, which encompasses ‘bleeding’ off liquid from a tank of juice for red wine in the early stages of the winemaking process. This can help to produce more concentrated flavor and color in red wine. This is from the Sta. Rita Hills region of Santa Barbara County – a very exclusive region producing some of the best Pinot Noir grapes.

Notes: Velvety smooth on the pallet. Rich dark cherry, and smooth leather on the palette. Juicy and vibrant.

Pet NatPet Nat

Our first venture into the world of unfiltered natural wine! “Pet Nat” is short for the French term “pétillant naturel”, which roughly translates to “natural sparkling”. 

Unlike the Champagne method, the “méthode ancestral” used here allows the initial fermentation to finish in the bottle without any additives (sugar, yeast, sulfer, etc.), imparting a gentle carbonation by trapping the CO2. 

A healthy amount of sediment will be found in each bottle, making this a hazy wine with plenty of complex flavors and aromas!  

Our Pet Net explodes on the palette with bright acidity and soft aromas of pink lemonade. Apple and pear notes lead to a soft puckering finish reminiscent of a sour ale.
