Mermaid Valley Vineyard, Ramona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nThe Mermaid Valley Vineyard<\/a><\/span> is one of San Diego\u2019s more modern vineyards, established in 2013. The winery boasts ample indoor and outdoor seating with an expansive view of the grapevines and spectacular mountain range as its backdrop. Featuring 100% estate-grown grapes, varietals include various zinfandels, merlots, syrahs, and the 2018 Siren\u2019s Song that was recognized this year as the \u201cSan Diego County Wine of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nBernardo Winery, San Diego<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nJust 30 minutes north of downtown, near Rancho Bernardo (hence the name), lies\u00a0Bernardo Winery<\/a><\/span>. With three generations worth of Italian roots, this spot offers world-famous pizza and Sicilian tapas along with their delightfully delicious wines. Although not a vineyard itself, Bernardo Winery sources grapes locally and focuses on making wine with a blend of traditional methods and new technology. Indulge in an oaky, nutty chardonnay or perhaps pair your margherita pizza with a classic merlot\u2014exposing notes of cardamom and black cherry.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nWilson Creek Winery & Vineyards, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nWith over 70 acres of vineyards and manicured grounds, Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards<\/a><\/span> will greet you with an instant sense of calm. With tall palm trees, a small creek, inviting outdoor seating, and welcoming tasting room, you\u2019ll feel swept away by the magic of this grandiose winery politely tucked into Temecula\u2019s wine country. Year after year, Wilson Creek has won countless awards<\/a><\/span> for their sultry wines such as the 2017 Vardande Red Blend and 2017 Reserve Cabernet Franc.

Impress your tastebuds with a pairing of the winery’s 2015 pinot noir and a steaming plate of classic lasagna; or opt for a glass of the Tocco di Dolcezza, a California blend, with Cordiano’s black truffle pizza. If you\u2019re really looking to treat yourself, have a glass of their Portofine (brandy wine) with a slice of house-made tiramisu and watch the sun go down from the valley-facing patio.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nCactus Star Vineyard, Ramona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nThis woman-owned, boutique winery boasts a small 1-acre plot of land in which the women grow and bottle on-site. The Cactus Star Vineyard<\/a> <\/span>estate\u2014which is called Scaredy Cat Ranch\u2014is one of the smallest wineries in Southern California with a small tasting patio. But don\u2019t let its size deter you. The wines are brimming with rich and colorful flavors. One quirk to know about this place is that, due to limited wine availability, it is only open for tastings on a seasonal basis. Make sure you call ahead before making the trip\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nOak Mountain Winery, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n10 of the Best San Diego Wineries | Inspirato Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SoCal's vineyards offer a variety of delicious wines.

<\/a>\nThe Mermaid Valley Vineyard<\/a><\/span> is one of San Diego\u2019s more modern vineyards, established in 2013. The winery boasts ample indoor and outdoor seating with an expansive view of the grapevines and spectacular mountain range as its backdrop. Featuring 100% estate-grown grapes, varietals include various zinfandels, merlots, syrahs, and the 2018 Siren\u2019s Song that was recognized this year as the \u201cSan Diego County Wine of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n
Bernardo Winery, San Diego<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nJust 30 minutes north of downtown, near Rancho Bernardo (hence the name), lies\u00a0Bernardo Winery<\/a><\/span>. With three generations worth of Italian roots, this spot offers world-famous pizza and Sicilian tapas along with their delightfully delicious wines. Although not a vineyard itself, Bernardo Winery sources grapes locally and focuses on making wine with a blend of traditional methods and new technology. Indulge in an oaky, nutty chardonnay or perhaps pair your margherita pizza with a classic merlot\u2014exposing notes of cardamom and black cherry.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nWilson Creek Winery & Vineyards, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nWith over 70 acres of vineyards and manicured grounds, Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards<\/a><\/span> will greet you with an instant sense of calm. With tall palm trees, a small creek, inviting outdoor seating, and welcoming tasting room, you\u2019ll feel swept away by the magic of this grandiose winery politely tucked into Temecula\u2019s wine country. Year after year, Wilson Creek has won countless awards<\/a><\/span> for their sultry wines such as the 2017 Vardande Red Blend and 2017 Reserve Cabernet Franc. Tour the vineyards and meet the leading winemakers of this SoCal wine valley.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nCordiano Winery, Escondido<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nTake in the sweeping views at Cordiano Winery<\/a><\/span>. With its Mediterranean-style restaurant and tasting room, you\u2019ll feel transported to Italy as you walk under the archways entangled in grapevines. Impress your tastebuds with a pairing of the winery’s 2015 pinot noir and a steaming plate of classic lasagna; or opt for a glass of the Tocco di Dolcezza, a California blend, with Cordiano’s black truffle pizza. If you\u2019re really looking to treat yourself, have a glass of their Portofine (brandy wine) with a slice of house-made tiramisu and watch the sun go down from the valley-facing patio.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nCactus Star Vineyard, Ramona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nThis woman-owned, boutique winery boasts a small 1-acre plot of land in which the women grow and bottle on-site. The Cactus Star Vineyard<\/a> <\/span>estate\u2014which is called Scaredy Cat Ranch\u2014is one of the smallest wineries in Southern California with a small tasting patio. But don\u2019t let its size deter you. The wines are brimming with rich and colorful flavors. One quirk to know about this place is that, due to limited wine availability, it is only open for tastings on a seasonal basis. Make sure you call ahead before making the trip\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nOak Mountain Winery, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n10 of the Best San Diego Wineries | Inspirato Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SoCal's vineyards offer a variety of delicious wines.

<\/a>\nJust 30 minutes north of downtown, near Rancho Bernardo (hence the name), lies\u00a0Bernardo Winery<\/a><\/span>. With three generations worth of Italian roots, this spot offers world-famous pizza and Sicilian tapas along with their delightfully delicious wines. Although not a vineyard itself, Bernardo Winery sources grapes locally and focuses on making wine with a blend of traditional methods and new technology. Indulge in an oaky, nutty chardonnay or perhaps pair your margherita pizza with a classic merlot\u2014exposing notes of cardamom and black cherry.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n
Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nWith over 70 acres of vineyards and manicured grounds, Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards<\/a><\/span> will greet you with an instant sense of calm. With tall palm trees, a small creek, inviting outdoor seating, and welcoming tasting room, you\u2019ll feel swept away by the magic of this grandiose winery politely tucked into Temecula\u2019s wine country. Year after year, Wilson Creek has won countless awards<\/a><\/span> for their sultry wines such as the 2017 Vardande Red Blend and 2017 Reserve Cabernet Franc. Tour the vineyards and meet the leading winemakers of this SoCal wine valley.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nCordiano Winery, Escondido<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nTake in the sweeping views at Cordiano Winery<\/a><\/span>. With its Mediterranean-style restaurant and tasting room, you\u2019ll feel transported to Italy as you walk under the archways entangled in grapevines. Impress your tastebuds with a pairing of the winery’s 2015 pinot noir and a steaming plate of classic lasagna; or opt for a glass of the Tocco di Dolcezza, a California blend, with Cordiano’s black truffle pizza. If you\u2019re really looking to treat yourself, have a glass of their Portofine (brandy wine) with a slice of house-made tiramisu and watch the sun go down from the valley-facing patio.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nCactus Star Vineyard, Ramona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nThis woman-owned, boutique winery boasts a small 1-acre plot of land in which the women grow and bottle on-site. The Cactus Star Vineyard<\/a> <\/span>estate\u2014which is called Scaredy Cat Ranch\u2014is one of the smallest wineries in Southern California with a small tasting patio. But don\u2019t let its size deter you. The wines are brimming with rich and colorful flavors. One quirk to know about this place is that, due to limited wine availability, it is only open for tastings on a seasonal basis. Make sure you call ahead before making the trip\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nOak Mountain Winery, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n10 of the Best San Diego Wineries | Inspirato Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SoCal's vineyards offer a variety of delicious wines.

<\/a>\nWith over 70 acres of vineyards and manicured grounds, Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards<\/a><\/span> will greet you with an instant sense of calm. With tall palm trees, a small creek, inviting outdoor seating, and welcoming tasting room, you\u2019ll feel swept away by the magic of this grandiose winery politely tucked into Temecula\u2019s wine country. Year after year, Wilson Creek has won countless awards<\/a><\/span> for their sultry wines such as the 2017 Vardande Red Blend and 2017 Reserve Cabernet Franc. Tour the vineyards and meet the leading winemakers of this SoCal wine valley.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n
Cordiano Winery, Escondido<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nTake in the sweeping views at Cordiano Winery<\/a><\/span>. With its Mediterranean-style restaurant and tasting room, you\u2019ll feel transported to Italy as you walk under the archways entangled in grapevines. Impress your tastebuds with a pairing of the winery’s 2015 pinot noir and a steaming plate of classic lasagna; or opt for a glass of the Tocco di Dolcezza, a California blend, with Cordiano’s black truffle pizza. If you\u2019re really looking to treat yourself, have a glass of their Portofine (brandy wine) with a slice of house-made tiramisu and watch the sun go down from the valley-facing patio.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nCactus Star Vineyard, Ramona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nThis woman-owned, boutique winery boasts a small 1-acre plot of land in which the women grow and bottle on-site. The Cactus Star Vineyard<\/a> <\/span>estate\u2014which is called Scaredy Cat Ranch\u2014is one of the smallest wineries in Southern California with a small tasting patio. But don\u2019t let its size deter you. The wines are brimming with rich and colorful flavors. One quirk to know about this place is that, due to limited wine availability, it is only open for tastings on a seasonal basis. Make sure you call ahead before making the trip\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nOak Mountain Winery, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n10 of the Best San Diego Wineries | Inspirato Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SoCal's vineyards offer a variety of delicious wines.

<\/a>\nTake in the sweeping views at Cordiano Winery<\/a><\/span>. With its Mediterranean-style restaurant and tasting room, you\u2019ll feel transported to Italy as you walk under the archways entangled in grapevines. Impress your tastebuds with a pairing of the winery’s 2015 pinot noir and a steaming plate of classic lasagna; or opt for a glass of the Tocco di Dolcezza, a California blend, with Cordiano’s black truffle pizza. If you\u2019re really looking to treat yourself, have a glass of their Portofine (brandy wine) with a slice of house-made tiramisu and watch the sun go down from the valley-facing patio.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n
Cactus Star Vineyard, Ramona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nThis woman-owned, boutique winery boasts a small 1-acre plot of land in which the women grow and bottle on-site. The Cactus Star Vineyard<\/a> <\/span>estate\u2014which is called Scaredy Cat Ranch\u2014is one of the smallest wineries in Southern California with a small tasting patio. But don\u2019t let its size deter you. The wines are brimming with rich and colorful flavors. One quirk to know about this place is that, due to limited wine availability, it is only open for tastings on a seasonal basis. Make sure you call ahead before making the trip\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\nOak Mountain Winery, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n10 of the Best San Diego Wineries | Inspirato Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SoCal's vineyards offer a variety of delicious wines.

<\/a>\nThis woman-owned, boutique winery boasts a small 1-acre plot of land in which the women grow and bottle on-site. The Cactus Star Vineyard<\/a> <\/span>estate\u2014which is called Scaredy Cat Ranch\u2014is one of the smallest wineries in Southern California with a small tasting patio. But don\u2019t let its size deter you. The wines are brimming with rich and colorful flavors. One quirk to know about this place is that, due to limited wine availability, it is only open for tastings on a seasonal basis. Make sure you call ahead before making the trip\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n
Oak Mountain Winery, Temecula<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/a>
\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n10 of the Best San Diego Wineries | Inspirato Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SoCal's vineyards offer a variety of delicious wines.

<\/a>\nBoasting one of the most spectacular views in the Temecula Valley, Oak Mountain Winery<\/a> <\/span>is home to the only mined wine caves in Southern California. This means that the barrels of wine are stored inside of the mountain in what\u2019s referred to as a \u201ccave,\u201d which is the most natural and efficient way to store and age wine at the appropriate temperature. Here you\u2019ll find Mediterranean varietals including tempranillo, grenache, zinfandel, and the classic cabernet sauvignon. Reserve a table the Cave Caf\u00e9 and dine underground for a truly unique wine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hero_unit_image_id":1471,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[38,131],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do","tag-california","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"\n
