We had such a great time here. My husband and I did the cider tasting and it was excellent. The ciders are so interesting and all very different from each other. Our server, Crystal, was so friendly, helpful, and informative. Their testing area is outside and all tables are spread out and socially distanced. I felt very safe, and I appreciate that they are being covid-compliant. We'll definitely be back and will take friends here who visit us in our mountain home. It's definitely a little Crestline hidden gem!

We had an amazing time at Sycamore Ranch. The outdoor setting and grassy areas are perfect for relaxing and enjoying your wine. They also make Cider here from the local apple trees surrounding the property. Dart canyon is known for its apple orchards. I've lived in the Dart Canyon area for over 20 years and having Sycamore here is like having a winery in my own backyard. Thank you for am awesome time, highly recommend visiting if you're in the area.

Our very favorite Wines and Ciders! We have cancelled our membership in all other wine clubs and doubled-down on our SRV membership. And then doubled again! We LOVE SRV wines and enjoy spending a few hours every so often tasting at the Winery. Thanks so much for the Covid safe outdoor tasting area. See you again real soon!
