Wine Tasting in Oxnard: Herzog, Strey Cellars & an Easy Beach Getaway

Wine tasting in Oxnard makes an easy change of pace during a beach vacation. Choose Herzog Wine Cellars for a tasting and the possibility of a meal at Tierra Sur, or look at Strey Cellars for a tasting-room visit and its music calendar. You can enjoy an afternoon with a wine glass without turning your stay into a tour of distant wine regions.

Start with the kind of outing you want: a tasting and meal, an afternoon chatting over wine, or an evening that includes live music. Then choose your winery and leave enough room to enjoy it.

Herzog: wine tasting and a meal

At Herzog Wine Cellars, you can book a tasting experience and consider a meal at Tierra Sur. It makes a natural choice when the food is part of the occasion: a birthday, a couples’ outing, or a leisurely afternoon with friends.

Herzog is at 3201 Camino del Sol in Oxnard. Use its reservation calendar to choose the experience and confirm opening days, including holiday observances.

Our Herzog visitor guide helps you plan that outing in more detail.

Strey Cellars: choose your day around the atmosphere

At Strey Cellars, 951 North Rice Avenue in Oxnard, the tasting room offers another way to enjoy local winemaking. Its events calendar includes music and other gatherings, so look at the date as well as the wine list.

A quiet tasting and an evening with a band are different experiences. Choose what sounds fun for your group, then confirm the details with the winery. Strey describes itself as dog friendly and family friendly; ask about the particular event when planning your visit.

Tasting rooms are different from vineyard tours

These are Oxnard winery and tasting-room outings. Do not picture a walk through coastal rows of vines unless your specific booking describes one. If you want a guided production tour, ask the winery what is currently offered and whether it needs a separate reservation.

You can make a lovely day around a single stop. Add lunch, allow time for conversation, and resist making the afternoon a race between addresses.

Plan the ride before the first tasting

Arrange a designated driver or another suitable ride before heading out. When traveling with a larger group, confirm the booking size and transportation together so everyone can relax once you arrive.

Check current visiting days and arrangements directly with each winery. Menus, tastings, and event calendars change, which is why we link you to the people hosting the experience.

Let the beach bookend your afternoon

Start with coffee at the house and a beach stroll. Give the afternoon to your chosen tasting, then return to your neighborhood for a gentle evening. A kitchen and shared living space make it easy to enjoy the rest of the day at your own pace.

All our Ventura and Oxnard homes are walkable to the beach. Browse Chic Beach Vacations, ask us about the neighborhoods, and find more outing ideas in Explore Oxnard.
