12 Best Wineries in Escondido

“10 out of 10 for hospitality, kid friendly, food + wine and atmosphere. We’ve been to a lot of vineyards and this one stood out as so incredibly kid friendly and welcoming, from the tractor hay ride to the bouncy house and large fenced in field, we will definitely make this a regular stop! Thanks for having us, see you again soon!!“

“Excellent wines, incredible views. Perfect local getaway“

“Highland Valley has an impressive line-up of fantastic wines. Barbera, Zinfandel, Malbec, Cabernet. The Zinfandel and Malbec they are pouring right now are better than any wines I have ever had from Temecula. Just delicious. The views from the property are amazing. I love going here and you will too!“

“Such a great spot for wine tasting without reservations if you’re a group of less than 9 people, they not only offer the wine tasting flight but also a picnic bag with delicious snacks, came because of the reviews and definitely did not disappoint at all!! The lady at the front desk was very friendly! Definitely would be coming back!“

“One of my favorite wineries in the Highland Valley area because it's so beautiful and service is always great. There are a lot of seating areas with shade for our group whenever we come.

The tasting is $30 for 4 tasting pours. Their wines run around $40-60 so a little high imo. I'm used to going to Ramona wineries and they are a little cheaper.
My friend really likes their new rosé. I tried their syrah blend and it was ok. I didn't like it enough to spend $58 on it tbh.“

“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!“

“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!!! ❤️“

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

“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.“

“My husband brought me here for my Birthday. I absolutely loved the service. The whole staff. They are family oriented and I love the togetherness. I also loved the Air Bnb and the bath soap is the bomb. Lol. We will for sure be coming back, perhaps for our anniversary. Great scenery. Great service.“

“family owned and run. food and service is excellent. the views and ambiance brings italy to san diego“
