10 Best Wineries near San Diego

“Excellent Meade had a good time“

“Nice place, great decor and ambiance. Great staff. Nice wine flights. Great new menu.“

“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,

“Their wine club is a great deal, the service is always amazing, the location is very accessible with easy access to food nearby. If you’re adventurous, you can try the Project X which changes every week. If not, their standard wine offerings are delicious. I highly recommend the wine pairing events when they happen“

“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.“

“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!“

“I went to the r&b and wine night last month and it was so fun. The vibes were incredible and the layout is really great with plenty of room to sit and dance. I know it’s a winery, but it would be nice to also have some canned alcoholic beverages for purchase along with the non alcoholic ones.“

“Good food, good wine, amazing staff, nice atmosphere!!! Check it out!“

“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.“

“Awesome wine bar, food trucks & live music! Highly recommended!“
