I invite you to visit the extraordinary wine country of San Diego County, the first wine area to be planted in California. Our wineries are nestled in the microclimates of several valleys, atop inland mountains, and in the arid “sweet lands” south of the mountains.

The county successfully grows over 60 grape varietals from around the world which you can experience in over 50 wineries with tasting rooms. The social environment at the wineries feels equivalent to family. I trust you will find your wine tasting experience here to be intimate, personable, and unique.

Owners Ray Schnorr and Jeannine O’Brien grow the grapes, make the wine, and manage the facility, a complete operation. Many out-of-towners now visit the winery to experience the exceptional Bordeaux varietals and blends.
