“Amazing & #triumphant product that is like nothing else on the libations market! Thanks for sharing the greatness that is #barrelriot at the #FREEsipsAtHolidayWineCellar on Friday! 🙌“

“BEST SANGRIA EVER!!! Really TOP WINES in Mission Cellars Winery. Nice and relaxing patios. Trent and his wife Sylvia are absolutely great. Highly recommended!“

“Rancho Guejito Vineyard is a top-notch experience! I recently had the privilege of documenting a epic Wedding Day at Rancho Guejito Vineyard! Let me tell you—this place is nestled in a remote valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains, and the staff is truly ride-or-die!

Usually, I lean into the best parts of working at a venue, but here, the staff matches the energy of the heart-stopping ceremony site and outdoor reception area. This place rocks on every level—its beauty, the endless epic photo opportunities, and did I mention the staff?

The staff rocks! I worked with Nicole and she is amazing!

This venue is unmatched and delivers an unforgettable experience for Brides, a complete winning recipe! Coming from a San Diego native!

I love it here, and I’m always happy to refer this incredible venue and staff. They truly show up to the fullest!

“We love their sparkling rosé (firefly) and red wine! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and you can tell they genuinely love to share their wine with people! We joined their wine club and so excited to try those club member exclusive experiences!“

“My husband and I wanted to check out a local winery last weekend. We decided to go see Sky Valley Cellars~we chose their Petite Sirah. It was absolutely phenomenal! One of the best wines we've ever tasted. The ambience is beyond stunning as well! It's tranquil, peaceful and so very gorgeous. Michael was our server. Michael has an infinite knowledge regarding wine and their collection of wine as well.
We had a long day and really just needed to decompress and Sky Valley Cellars helped accomplish that. I highly recommend Sky Valley Cellars to everyone.“

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

“If you love French-style wines, especially Rhône varietals, you’ll definitely want to check this place out. The wines are amazing, and the whole vibe is relaxed and welcoming.

The setting is gorgeous, with a big patio full of tables and umbrellas. They often have live music, which makes it a fun spot to hang out. They sell great snacks like charcuterie packs, crackers, olives, almonds, and chocolate in the tasting room and there's usually a food vendor on-site.

One of the highlights of visiting is Stevie, one of the wine pourers. She’s super friendly, down to earth, and really knows her stuff when it comes to their wines. She makes the tasting experience fun and approachable, even if you’re not a wine expert.

The owners, Lynn and Mark, are also incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell they love sharing their beautiful property with others. It’s dog-friendly, too! You’ll often see their own dogs wandering around, and they even have horses and pigs.

Domaine Artefact is a great place to relax, sip some fantastic wine, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I highly recommended it and look forward to going back again and again.“

“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!!! ❤️“

“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 time wine tasting. Great experience all around and delightful conversation with Marilyn.“

“Been driving by this Winery for the last several years and decided to stop. Sure glad we did. Proprietor is a very interesting gentleman to talk to. A lot of very interesting artifacts on the property. Couldn't choose which wine to buy so purchased 4 different bottles. Can't wait to go back.“

“Amazing! Our favorite place in Ramona. Alfredo treated us like family. The wines are unique and so clean — we did not experience headaches. We can’t drink wine bc of sensitivity to sulfates and additives. We each had 2 glasses and felt wonderful. No headaches! It’s a gem of a place. The real deal 🍷“

“I wanted to give a shout out to Koi Zen Cellars! My husband and I have been members for years. They are family run, and both their urban winery and wines are award winning! The owners Darius and Lisa make coming in like visiting old friends. I highly recommend checking it out if you live near or are visiting the San Diego area.“

“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.“

“What a great restaurant at the Bernardo Winery. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends for lunch before walking around the cute winery and do some shopping in the boutiques on site.

There are lots of outdoor tables to choose from and most are shaded. It opens at 11am and it was busy soon after. We went on a weekday too.
You can get wines from the tasting room or delicious coffee from Manzanita next door.

You order from the counter and your food will be delivered to your table. Everything we had was delicious though the pizza was a little on the burnt side from the wood fired oven.

Parking: There are two small parking lots and plenty of street parking.“

“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 !!!“
