Had a bridal shower for 25 ladies and Frank and the staff took good care of us ….. excellent food and wine and loved the Sangria. Perfect day on their patio to celebrate !!!

I very much enjoyed my visit there last Sunday. The wine was very good, and the live music with Dora Bonaventura was wonderful. The evening ended with a gorgeous sunset.

Stay away if you or loved ones have allergies!!!

I asked if the meatballs had eggs because my one year old is allergic. The employee taking our order was not sure but said he’d ask the kitchen and that he could relate as he was very allergic tomatoes. When going to ask the kitchen the “manager on duty” walked up and confidently responded no. I should have trusted my gut and requested he ask the kitchen as well but I didn’t because of this “manager on duty’s” quick response.
Welp, my son ate the meatballs and on the way home I’m pulled over on the side of a dangerous road while he’s puking. Puke all of his clothes, car seat, and car. He had severe hives for the next two days and barely slept that night. Fun times.
We called Cordiano winery just to confirm it was the eggs in the meatballs (this time they asked the kitchen) and there of course was. We also found out that the “manager on duty” was the owners son. Thanks dude.
We were assured that the owner would call us back to remedy the situation but never heard back.
Nice views, below average food, ok wine and not good service. Needless to say won’t be back.
My hope is that they at least post what foods contain what ingredients so it doesn’t happen to someone else.

After two visits, very mediocre food and even worse service every time. Maybe just come and get some wine but don’t be bothered with the food.

Good wine, but bad service. Beautiful property with nice e views.

Amazing and tasteful wine! Food was delicious and good quality. The pesto pizza was my favorite. And the view from the terraces was simply amazing. 4 stars due to the lack of service. I was expecting to be served (and pay for such service) but you have to get up from your table and get everything including your own drinking water which seemed a bit odd in a restaurant setting like this. Girl made a face when I didn’t leave a tip.

The views and location are the only redeeming qualities for this winery.

The wine is ok at best but I’ve had better vine selection from Trader Joe’s. It’s not horrible but it’s so far from good.
The vibes are ‘ I hope you enjoy this beautiful view, sorry about the wine ‘

Overall 3/5 is generous

Edit : the experience reminded me of that episode of Schitts creek, Moira and David trialing Herb Ertlinger. After mixing all of them, it tasted average

My boyfriend and I go to a lot of restaurants around San Diego, but this one was our favorite out of all! The food and service was great, along with prices. Josie the bartender was awesome, and it’s a very scenic winery/restaurant. 10/10 loved it.

My son graduated from SDSU and we wanted a nice place for family and friends to celebrate his graduation. I worked with Frank Cordiano, who handled large parties. We had 26 guests and were able to celebrate in the lower patio overlooking the vineyards. The wines were amazing and we had bottles of every kind for the guests. We also purchased veggies, pizzas, Caprese skewers, and two different deserts. Everyone enjoyed the party, especially me since Frank took care of all the details. I can't rate it high enough for food quality, fantastic varieties of wine, and relaxing & romantic location above the vineyards, overlooking the canyon.

This spot is closer to RB than you think. Great view, nice wine, the black truffle pizza was great too. Nice place for get together and celebrations. One thing though - this feels more like a restaurant than a winery. If you take a hike you see more stuff but going to the restaurant you miss it.

Love to have lunch and enjoy the atmosphere along with the view... we drive from santee, we'll worth the trip!

Leah Saggio

Really enjoyed our visit. Beautiful view and nice wine options. The guy who helped us had some great recommendations as we weren’t sure what to get and he helped us build a flight. Also had a delicious gluten free pizza, which was a nice surprise! Would absolutely come here again if we come to Ramona again.

The customer service leaves much to be desired. The pizza was overly salty, and the salads were pretty average. We had a significant issue with a wasp infestation around our table, and the staff didn’t address it. Additionally, their wine selection is subpar, with no sparkling options and generally low-quality choices. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t set high expectations for this winery.
