11 Best Wineries in Escondido

“Great experience! Went on a Saturday after a hike. Not pretentious at all thank goodness. I got a glass of wine (Syrah) and a burger (life changing). Staff was so friendly! It was quiet which was perfect for me but they also said Sundays they have activities for kids and music so keep that in mind if you prefer a lovelier experience. They have wine, sangrias, and spritzers, which is a nice way to shake it up especially for warm weather days! Great views and spacious outdoor seating options.“

“Great atmosphere and tasty wine! You get the best views when you visit this winery! love it 😀“

“Ray, the owner was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The cabernet was exquisite, I was not expecting that kind of complexity and tannin-goodness. My wife had the Sauvignon which had a unique profile due to the technique they are using - very refreshing.
The view of the valley is gorgeous.
We will be recommending this little gem to all our friends.“

“We had a wonderful experience! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, and the place is absolutely beautiful. We visited as a group of 9 and truly enjoyed our time there. The wine was excellent, and we loved the fruit trees as well. We are visiting from Texas, loved the family friendly atmosphere, we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“This is an amazing winery. Stumbled upon this gem after spending the day at the Safari Zoo Park. Wonderful wines (didn’t taste a bad one and hard to choose a favorite) and ambiance. Loved it so much that we became members of the Thirsty Kettle Club and shipped 6 fabulous bottles home. We spent some time talking w the owner, Jeannine…so personable and a true class act. Told us of the story of how they came about, what an incredible family story. To Mike the winemaker: great job!! Your bottles are fabulous!!! ❤️“

“Really beautiful wines and a gorgeous view. We loved everything poured, reds and whites.
The winery is located up a relatively bumpy road past a sign reading "dead end, private road". You're going the right way with a great reward at the top!“

“Loved the whites but not a huge fan of the reds (opposite of normal) It is a busy place, large with multiple sitting areas and was very popular the Saturday we were there with live music. Unfortunately only one place to get a glass or continue your tasting and waiting in line, mostly while one pour-er talked to one guest, got a little old and took away from the experience. Food truck on site serving pizza and related food was very good.“

“LOVE going to Mia Marie’s for an afternoon with friends. The atmosphere and view are incredible and the wine is fabulous. On weekends they have live music and wine vendors and we never feel like they’re so busy we have a “2 hour table limit”. Their staff is all incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and the tasting events are fantastic. We stay, we drink, we hang, we enjoy the scenery and music, and it’s always an amazing time.“

“Andy’s reds are superb! A must taste!“

“I actually learned of Altipiano Vineyard and Winery on the PBS program, Fresh Glass, several months ago and took special notice since I had plans to visit San Diego. I’m so glad my son, his wife and I came here! First of all, just picture the perfect San Diego Sunday afternoon. The weather was gorgeous, even the traffic cooperated. We each had a flight which consisted of 2 of their award winning reds, and a really nice prosecco. I do not pretend to be a wine connoisseur, but I know what tastes good to me. Everything we tasted was delicious, of high quality and was elevated over the top by the atmosphere and hospitality of the owners Barbera and Dennis, as well as our hostess. We had an awesome time. Highly recommended!“

“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 !!!“
