Breweries & Wineries

One of the Antelope Valley's best-kept secrets is the wineries and breweries in Palmdale, CA, and surrounding areas that have left their mark in the sands of the Southern California desert.

Southern California Breweries: Community Spirit in Every Sip

At the heart of Palmdale's craft beer scene is Lucky Luke Brewing Company. Founded by Antelope Valley natives, this local hotspot offers some of the High Desert's boldest craft beer varieties made with local ingredients and a lively ambiance, complete with an outdoor patio and food trucks. For those craving a fuller culinary experience, a short drive to their Lancaster brewpub location promises delicious bar snacks alongside their signature grog. 

Transplants Brewing Company has been making Palmdale weirder for years! Its huge connected venue space is a vision realized Transplants for their team who is passionate about bringing quality original music and entertainment to the 661. Featuring the best of local and touring bands paired with inventive house-made beers and otherworldly art, this venue offers a welcoming home for creators and the creative.

Over in neighboring Lancaster, Bravery Brewing Co. small-batch brews range from classic Bavarian Hefeweizen to adventurous ales made with seasonal fruits. A visit to their tasting room isn't complete without viewing the 'Wall of Bravery' that displays photos and memorabilia from local service members and sampling their exquisite "barrel-aged" varieties. Local Craft Beer (LCB) also offers a selection of craft brews, cocktails, and wine in the Underground Bowling Lounge.  

Sip the Spirit of the Desert: SoCal Wineries 

Over the years, our rich desert landscape has proven to be the perfect place for making wine, where local California wineries turn sun-soaked grapes into award-winning delights. 

Find a couple of vino options in Lancaster, including Thief & Barrel Winery. Their tasting room hosts special "Meet the Winemaker" events, where enthusiasts can get closer to the action. Antelope Valley Winery offers bold reds and crisp whites. Guests can enjoy a picturesque picnic surrounded by the vines and pair wine with charcuterie boards made in-house.

Led by seasoned winemaker Lee Williams, Golden Star Vineyards in Littlerock is a testament to passion, precision, and family tradition, offering an array of reds and whites.
