Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
This is a big Winery, with large tasting area bordering the actual wine storage area. They keep it very cool. Wine servers are nice and fairly knowledgeable. But they rotate people all over so it's hard to find consistency. My favorite wine was the 2021 Montepulciano, which was bold, with earthy finish and bright fragrance. Also recommend the 2021 Ambassador's Syrah, which has a nice mid-palate feel with lush finish.
Had my first experience here today and would definitely recommend! I frequent the Escondido wineries but surprisingly had never heard of this one until today. It has easily become a favorite, and I can’t wait to return! The property is HUGE and friendly to adults, children, and dogs. As we came on a Saturday, there was live music in the front area, and our group was able to enjoy both the sunshine and the shade simultaneously in the back area. Our sommelier Bernice was so friendly and super helpful in guiding us to our new favorite red! We ended up signing up for their wine club (an incredible deal) and cannot wait to show all of our friends and family our new favorite winery!
I have been visiting here last 9 years and enjoy the views every time ! When they have live music it is even better. One of the best views among Escondido wineries I personally think. I usually don’t care about their red wine selection but recent attempt of trying Sauvignon blanc was very delicious. Definitely no need to go to Temecula for a search of a lovely winery, right here in San Diego! Worth the visit , multiple times .
Beautiful property with great views. It was raining the day we visited, and it was still very pretty! Unfortunately, we didn't love the wine, but that's because we only drink sweet wine.
Whenever I go visit family in California, I always stop at Orfila Vineyards and Winery. This place is so beautiful. The view of the vines and mountains in the background are breathtaking. A very relaxing place to visit and have some great wine. 🍷
