Priceless outdoor mountain top vibes! Easy listening and danciable live music sets the perfect backdrop for any get together around the fire pits. The wines are different every time we come. Never disappoints. We keep coming here for a different scene from a regular bar or restaurant.

Beautiful location overseeing the valley. The owner of Sunshine Mountain winery is so nice. Perfect place to enjoy the view from the many sitting areas that include heated lamps/grills as it cools off. There is live music to listen to while sipping from a variety of choices made by the winery. Seriously one of my favorite locations to visit in the area. Plenty of parking; if full on top there is a lower parking lot which is great to use since you will get to see the gorgeous maintained area below with koi pond, sitting areas and a beautiful staircase.

Cute little winery with a beautiful view!

Food is horrible and very expensive. Pizza tastes like it was frozen from Costco and like cardboard. It to mention you have to serve yourself for everything. Wine is decent but just like the food, very expensive for what it is. Very is nice though.

Nice place to relax and have a glass of wine with appetizers

Good pricing, special deals, allows you to taste 2 for free. Nice views. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars was the flatbread pizza took over 40 minutes to receive.

The views are incredible. The tasting was rushed, loud and impersonal. The red wine was middle of the road.

The pizza was pre-manufactured with fresh melted cheese.

The live music was voice over synthetic.

If you've never been there before, and choose the first parking lot, you have a hundred or so of small steps vertical to climb before you get there, bypass that parking lot and drive all the way up. There was no signage to help a first-time visitor.

Beautiful views, good wine. Worm atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our favorite was Riesling 2023 and Sauvignon Blanc

We found this beautiful vineyard in the mountains of San Marcos. Live music and amazing views! Limited menus however. The charcuterie boards were wonderful, but don't bother with the store bought pizzas. You will get two free samples of wine before you have to pick your glass or bottle. Be prepared to ask your server for a new glass with each sample, they are not just given to you. It's hard to have a authentic taste experience if the old is poured into the new.
Otherwise this a hidden gem that I would recommend.

Beautiful winery in my neighborhood. A hidden gem. Highly recommend you go there. We were greeted very warmly by the owner. Amazing panoramic views and guitar players on the weekends.

Excellent place to visit with family and friends. I love the view of its sunsets.

This winery was a disappointment, largely due to Geraldine's poor customer service. The food was not only overpriced but also horrible in taste. I had ordered a pizza costing $30.00 which was far from satisfying. When I voiced my dissatisfaction to Geraldine, who I presume is the manager, she showed a lack of customer service skills by refusing to refund my money. Instead, she offered a $20.00 gift card, which is less than what I had originally paid for the pizza. This solution was far from helpful and made no sense, considering my disappointment with the food and service. Why would I want to revisit the place with a gift card after such a poor experience? Geraldine's handling of the situation completely ruined my experience at the winery.
