10 Best Wineries near San Diego

Koi Zen Cellars Wineries • $$
12225 World Trade Dr P, San Diego

“We live near this winery and it is the only place I can find my FAVORITE wine. I refuse to say which wine it is because then it will sell out! I have turned all my friend's onto it & I am so thankful to have such nice & kind people running this winery. They have always been so generous with their pours & they have always figured out a way for me to get my hands on my favorite wine.

I also visit this winery when my family participates as a vendor during their craft/vendor fairs a couple times a year. I bring my daughter with me & sometimes a friend of hers & we always have a really great time.

I have been here several times, well, more than several times. Though I am not a member, I sure feel treated like I am a member. I have attended & held fundraisers here & I have been here for live music or just a quiet place to have girlfriend talk. I love that there are different things happening different days, but it isn't overwhelming like other wineries that get so incredibly busy that they lose their charm completely. I appreciate Koi Zen for the zen it brings me.

I would 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a place to enjoy wine with friends and/or family. Looking forward to my next visit, even though I just walked out with 3 bottles of my favorite wine tonight! Lisa & Darius & their staff are all great & deserve all the kudos. They all work really hard.

With love,
The birthday girl“

Charlie & Echo Winery & Tasting Room Winery • $$
8680 Miralani Drive Suite 125, San Diego

“Great wine, great service! Rather than a traditional vineyard visit, Charlie & Echo is a small winery, more casual and relaxed. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating for you to enjoy their wines.

It was mine and my wife’s first visit. My wife got the five taster flight ($17), and I got the YOLO tasting ($29) which consists of all 8 of their current rotating ones, plus one tap. My personal favorite is the Two Tons.

The Wine Tender, Mark… such a cool guy! We had great conversations with him, and he made our experience fun. All of the people there were very friendly. Met a few who were wine club members. Had such a great time I became a wine club member!

Perks: You can bring outside food.
Dogs are allowed in the outside patio.
Brewery right next door.

Gianni Buonomo Vintners Winery •
3492 Pickett St, San Diego

“Fabulous wine, don’t let the location discourage you. Once you park and walk in you are greeted by a friendly smile who will walk you through their menu of delicious wines. After a few quick tastings you will be matched with a wine that suits your desires and off you go. This low brow location is perfect for an after work bottle of wine, a ‘on vacation pour’, or a glass of award winning goodness. Take it from a person passing through, this place has delectable wines with an interesting backstory.“

FruitCraft - Winery, Distillery & Event Venue Wineries • $
1477 University Avenue, San Diego

“My wife and I just hosted our wedding reception at FruitCraft a couple weeks ago and everything was great. Alan was super easy to work with and very communicative. All of their documents and emails laid out everything really clearly and they provided added flexibility to make sure our expectations were met and exceeded! They were clear and up front about any additional costs for requests beyond their standard service in the selected packages. The venue itself is fantastic with minimal additional decorating required. Food and beverages worked out excellent for our party and would highly recommend anyone considering FruitCraft as your venue!“

“Our group of 9 had the most perfect wine tasting experience! From start to finish, everything was completely seamless, including the booking process and the tasting itself.

Our guide, Lily, was absolutely incredible. She was so nice, extremely knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating to our large group. Since we were visiting from out of town, she also went above and beyond by providing fantastic local recommendations for the area.

I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun group outing!“

“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.“
