I started this website to share my discovery of the wine scene in San Diego County. Having visited other California wine areas over two decades to try everything famous I brought it back home to where I live. The wine makers and growers of this county are always mastering their art and science. It is one of the easiest places to enjoy wine, not overcrowded or over-traveled, with welcoming owners and hosts. And my favorite quality in a wine country: genuinely picturesque.

The focus of the site is wineries that either grow their own grapes or make wine from grapes grown in San Diego County. I want my readers to experience a sense of place. I have not included the excellent wineries here that make wine using grapes from other California regions further north. I hope that you will visit them, too.

I welcome your thoughts, suggestions and recommendations. I trust we will meet on the wine trails of San Diego County!
