When you think of Malibu, images of sun-drenched beaches, crashing waves, and iconic surf culture likely come to mind. But hidden in the rolling hills above the coastline is a lesser-known treasure: Malibu's thriving wine country. Nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains, this unique terroir offers a surprising escape from the typical Southern California experience, with over fifty vineyards dotting the landscape. For those seeking a luxurious and scenic adventure, Malibu limo wine tours offer the perfect way to explore these hidden gems.
Here’s our curated list of the top three wineries that our clients rave about, paired with real-life experiences to inspire your next unforgettable Malibu limo wine tour!
1. Cielo Farms: A Tuscan Dream in Malibu
Imagine stepping into a Tuscan-inspired paradise right in the heart of Malibu. That’s exactly what awaits you at Cielo Farms. This breathtaking estate spans over 30 acres, boasting panoramic views of the majestic Santa Monica Mountains. The estate's lush vineyards, dotted with olive trees, create an enchanting atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.
Client Highlight: Sarah R., one of our recent clients, shared how her birthday celebration at Cielo Farms became an unforgettable experience. “The moment we arrived in the limo, we were greeted with the scent of fresh grapes and the sight of endless vineyards.

What to Try: Cielo Farms offers over 20 wines exclusive to their estate, including their signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Petite Syrah. Opt for a tasting experience at The Barn or relax with a glass while taking in the serene mountain vistas.
2. Rosenthal - The Malibu Estate: Coastal Elegance Meets Fine Wine
Perched 1,500 feet above Malibu, Rosenthal Estate is the region’s most iconic vineyard. Established in 1987 by visionary George Rosenthal, the estate secured its own AVA designation, making it the only vineyard in the Malibu-Newton Canyon AVA. The tasting room, located along Pacific Coast Highway, offers a unique blend of ocean views and exquisite wines.
Client Highlight: John and Lisa D., frequent limo tour guests, described their Rosenthal visit as “a day of indulgence.” “We were blown away by the Chardonnay—it’s crisp, refreshing, and pairs beautifully with the coastal vibe of the tasting room. Sipping wine while gazing at the Pacific Ocean felt like a scene out of a movie.”
What to Try: Rosenthal is renowned for its estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious newcomer, their coastal tasting room offers a relaxed yet refined environment to savor these Malibu classics.

The building itself, shared with the legendary Old Place restaurant, exudes an old-world charm that transports you back in time.
Client Highlight: One of our regular guests, Emily P., described Cornell Winery as “a true hidden gem.” “We loved the eclectic vibe and the friendly staff. Plus, we got lucky and spotted Jason Momoa cruising by on his vintage Harley—talk about a Hollywood moment!”
