Oxnard and Ventura, California
We stayed in Oxnard/Ventura to go to Channel Islands National Park on our 2024 winter vork (vacation and work) trip, but unfortunately, we were unable to go (due to personal issues) so we made the best of our time doing a winery/brewery/cidery tour. We visited: Balcolm Canyon Cidery, Seward Brewery, Trois Le Fou, Bright Spark Brewery, and Wildflower Winery. We enjoyed each one, and they all have something unique to offer. Everyone was also very friendly, and we met many of the owners of these establishments. Wildflower Winery was our favorite stop.
We rented a surrey on the beach and had tasty dinner one of the nights at The Raven which has a fun atmosphere. We stayed at the Courtyard in Oxnard. It was a good stay with a nice outdoor space.
