Putting the micro in microbreweries, Red Tandem Brewery’s nanobrewery pumps out high-quality ales brewed and poured onsite. Be sure to relax with one of its award-winning IPAs.

With a unique focus on mixed fermentation farmhouse-style ales, barrel-aged wild ales, and Northeastern IPAs, Casa Agria knows a thing or two about a good ale. Its craft saisons are on point, too. Head to the tasting room any day of the week for a flight or a pint.

And if you’re going for a pint, check out Bottle & Pint at The Annex Food Hall to taste from a revolving list of 12 outstanding craft beers, including domestics and imports. Pair your global flight with a selection of international dishes at one of Bottle & Pint’s neighboring restaurants.

Wine O’Clock

Oxnard offers some of the finest vino in Ventura County — all the more reason to sample a flight or two.

With a history that stretches back to the 19th century, Herzog Wine Cellars continues to build on its storied legacy as the biggest kosher winery in California with truly oneof-a-kind pours. For some more history with your wine, visit Rancho Ventavo Cellars. Located in a 1902 Victorian home at Heritage Square, the tasting room pleases the palate with a mix of varietals sourced from across the Central Coast.

Looking for something a little more modern? Magnavino Cellars offers flights of bold wines and blends in its Tuscan-style tasting room, while the ultrasleek Strey Cellars — opened in 2014 — impresses visitors with superb small-production wines and frequent communal events.

Call Us Old Fashioned

Sometimes, there’s nothing better than having a cold one at the end of the day.

Sidle up to The Shores Bar & Restaurant for tasty eats and a refreshing cocktail or two after a day at the beach. For a taste of the past, 1901 Speakeasy Lounge mixes Prohibitionera cocktails in a hyperstylized setting. Need some marina views with your booze? The Waterside Restaurant pairs a wide selection of beers and wines with gorgeous vistas of the Channel Islands Harbor. O
