Yesterday on our Pageant, Music, Getty Villa & Santa Barbara tour, we enjoyed a beautiful day in Ojai. Our morning began at Friends Ranch, where guests picked up local honey, oranges, pixies, tangerines, and grapefruit straight from the orchard. Afterward, everyone had free time in downtown Ojai to browse the shops and soak in the small‑town charm. We gathered again for a delicious hosted lunch at Agave Maria before ending the afternoon with a private w**e tasting at Ojai Vineyards. A perfect blend of flavor, sunshine, and local hospitality.
