Wine Tasting

San Diego wineries are like hidden jewels across the County. Offering the sweet smells of locally grown grapes across a beautiful landscaped country vineyard, with tasting rooms featuring boutique wines, wonderful gift shops filled with memorable keepsakes, and county-wide events to please wine lovers and aficionados, visitors can enjoy a “taste of San Diego Wine Country”. Some of the great benefits of visiting our local wineries include being owned and managed by local families and farmers, a way to support local farming and an agricultural way of life which often allows you to meet the vintner during your visit. Unique, boutique wines are handcrafted. No huge manufacturing plants, no huge production lines. Beginning with hand harvesting of locally grown grapes, the process is one reminiscent of the fine work of boutique wine makers across the country. With more then 50 wineries in the county, San Diego is one of the fastest growing wine destinations offering numerous tasting rooms across the county. So make sure stop in and have a taste.
