Located on the grounds of Westlake Village Inn, The Stonehaus is a quaint little getaway that is reminiscent of a village in Tuscany. The courtyard is enchanting with its mini waterfall, floral archways, and a small vineyard. The ambiance is calm, peaceful, & serene so it's a great place to spend the day with a bottle of wine and friends. In fact, I did just that and met up with my lovely gals Sam B & Te-See B for lunch on a warm sunny day in October.
You order food, coffee, & beverages at the counter inside then hop on over to the wine bar for a glass or a bottle. They also have alcohol but only serve the basics - i.e. vodka soda, Jack n' Coke. You won't find any fancy cocktails here. There's also a tasting room but it was closed for a private party. Table service is also not available. When you place your food order they give you a buzzer, which notifies you when it's ready. Your meal is served in disposable containers but, thankfully, your wine is poured in a glass. The menu is varied - featuring snacks, charcuterie, baked goods, pizza, salads, & more.
The outdoor dining area is spacious with picnic tables and smaller tables with fire pits to keep you cozy when the temperature drops. There are lots of hidden areas to discover, which makes this place popular for gatherings & celebrations. In fact, there was a bunny adoption event being hosted in the back area. Stonehaus is also dog friendly, and I loved seeing all the adorable pups during our visit.
My truffle pommes frites were yummy, and the sparkling rosé was exceptionally good. Sam's Burrata salad was beautiful and the sangria refreshing. Te-See was happy with her chocolate scone and Arnold Palmer. Most of all, we enjoyed a delightful afternoon together in this mini oasis.
