About The Winery

Blue Door Winery pours French- and Italian-style red wines in the heart of historic Julian, on B Street, with a second tasting room in Ramona. Alongside its reds, the lineup includes sangria and cider, which fits right in with Julian's apple country, and tasting flights make it easy to try a range of styles in one visit.

What to expect: a friendly tasting room in downtown Julian, open daily from noon to 5 pm, an easy walk from the town's pie shops and main street. Blue Door also hosts private events. Its Ramona tasting room on Maple Street keeps more limited hours, so check before visiting that location.

Nearby: In Julian, pair Blue Door with Julian Wine & Chocolate, Menghini Winery, Volcan Mountain Winery and Storum Ranch Cider & Wine. See our Julian wine country guide and plan the day with the Wine Tasting Day Trip Builder.

Awards & Recognition

Blue Door Winery began in 2006 when Marc Hashagen and a friend bought 100 pounds of grapes, made 26 bottles, and were hooked. By 2007 they rented a truck, bought three tons, and Blue Door was born. Named after a painting by Marc's mother Trudy Kenyon. The winery uses unfiltered winemaking inspired by Robert Mondavi — egg whites and sea salt for natural clarification. Specializes in French and Italian red varietals including Nebbiolo, Super Tuscan, Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Sangria, and Cabernet Franc. Julian tasting room set in the town's historic old livery stables with big barn doors and exposed ceilings. Open 7 days a week in Julian noon–5pm.
