6 Best Wineries near San Marcos

“Absolutely love this little vineyard! A hidden secret in San Marcos that transports you to a European style winery. Tons of seating so it never feels too crowded although during the week is best to have little to no wait. Watching the sunset is always stunning as it overlooks the mountains.The wine is excellent and the staff is friendly! We tried the cheese pizza it was okay, but we were there for the wine. :)“

“What a gem! Ambiance is wine shop and old rhymes. Love that you can pick out a bottle and drink it there or get a glass from the wine list. Small bites like flatbread and cheese samplers. No kitchen food. Servers love wine and are super helpful with suggestions. See what you like and you can even become a member. Special wine dinners and tasting events. Can't wait to go back for more sips.“

“Best winery I have been to. Eric was very genuine and funny! He provides good knowledge of wine during the tour and makes sure you leave the property as a wine oficianado ;-) My group left with 7 bottles of delicious wine and we will be going back again if we are in the San Diego area. Thanks Eric!“

“This is a casual little winery that's not located on a vineyard, but the wine selection was good and there was a good amount of space to enjoy a little picnic basket with our wine tasting. Staff was nice too. I recommend the red flight.“

“On my meadery tour, I was able to find this gem. Live music, mead and cider was such a win! I love the way their flights come with the numbers hanging by the glass that go along with the mead you choose, nice small touches that matter! A cool place to check out for sure.“

“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!!! ❤️“
