Just 25 miles north of Los Angeles, down oak-lined roads and nestled in the heart of Hidden Valley in Thousand Oaks, Mizel Estate Wines awaits. The Santa Monica Mountains rise around you while the rest of the world falls away.

 

 

The name “Mizel” is a blend of the names of the owners, Michael and Zelene Fowler, who established the vineyard in 2014 with the goal of creating world-class wines.

 

Mizel Estate Wines are grown on their 38-acre estate in the Malibu Coast AVA. The geography of Mizel Estate, located on a fertile valley floor protected by mountains, provides ideal growing conditions for exceptional fruit.

 

When you taste Mizel’s luxury wines, you drink in the pure expression of their vineyard. Mizel’s Winemaker, Guillaume Fabre, says “The real secret to Mizel’s superb red wines is the ground they come from. The soil brings the tannin structure and creates a certain elegance that is so difficult to find – and impossible to add.”

 

 

Mizel Estate Wines is a boutique, limited-production winemaker, focused on quality.  Sustainably grown and hand-harvested, only the highest-quality grapes are used for Mizel wines. “The Mizel team has control over the entire winemaking process, which allows us to consistently produce excellent wines,” says Michael Fowler.

 

Mizel grows six French grape varieties on their estate - Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah. Throughout the growing season, the vines are attentively nurtured to bring forth the premium characteristics of Mizel’s fruit. As harvest approaches, the grapes are carefully monitored to ensure that each variety is harvested at its peak.

 

The winemaking commences in Paso Robles with the crush and fermentation. Afterward, each grape varietal is aged in premier French oak for 18 months. When the aging is complete, the Fowlers meet with Fabre to skillfully blend Mizel Estate’s signature wines - First Impression Bordeaux Blend, Easy to Please Grenache and Smooth Touch Syrah.

 

 

The Fowler’s love to share the beauty of Mizel Estate with their guests. Zelene says, “Our intention is to make our guests feel at home, whether they are here for a few hours or they are a beloved wine club member who’s invited to visit again and again.” Visitors are welcome to come experience Mizel through a series of delightful events.

 

Every Saturday, you can join an intimate gathering of fellow wine explorers for an elegant wine tasting on Mizel’s private estate. Take a guided tour of the vineyard, then stop, sit and savor your surroundings as you enjoy a flight of Mizel’s exquisite wines on the stunning outdoor terrace.

 

Free your inner artist on second and fourth Sundays with an immersive Art and Wine class. Surrounded by idyllic vistas, create your masterpiece under the gentle guidance of renowned artist Bobbie Rich.

 

Step out of your week on Thursday evenings and into a world apart. As the sky glows behind the mountains, enjoy tasting Mizel’s luscious, complex wines in their gorgeous vineyard. Listen to live music as you connect with other wine devotees on the inviting patio or play a game of bean bag toss on the lush lawn.

 

Third Sundays, Mizel’s yogi guides you through a yoga and sound bath session, promoting relaxation and tranquility. Mizel’s stunning outdoor setting enhances feelings of well-being and connection to nature.

 

Mizel Wine Club members receive invitations to exclusive member-only events and enjoy exceptional privileges on Mizel’s spectacular estate, including complimentary wine tastings and private annual visits with friends.

 

 

At its core, Mizel Estate Wines is purpose-driven, donating a portion of wine proceeds to the Mizel Family Foundation, which provides inclusive educational and career opportunities for individuals needing extra support and understanding to achieve their life goals.
