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.
What the heck just happened? We’ve lived in the area for years and didn’t know about this place. My wife had parents watch the kids yesterday so she could sneak me out for some wine for my birthday. When we pulled in I was a bit skeptical. A winery in Escondido?? So we went in. It was nice inside and the people were very friendly. We did a $15 tasting which normally gives 4 tastings but since they were out of some wines they added a 5th. First was an unfiltered Chardonnay that was good. Ok...this place is pretty nice. Second was a Sangiovese rosé. It was awesome! Chilled perfectly. Tasted amazing. Wow. I’m surprised. Third was their Maverick - Sangiovese. Woah!! It was really smooth. So good. What is going on right now? Why are these so good? 4th was Codebreaker - Barbera and Merlot. UNBELIEVABLE! Different finish then I’ve tasted before and it was amazing What the heck!? Where am I? These are some of the best wines I’ve had in years 5th was Walk the Line - Syrah. SO GOOD!! I’m blown away. We literally hit the winery jackpot 5 min from our house that no one knows about. Or no one I knew. Then we walked around and saw the vines and the horses. It was a perfect experience. I’ve already told so many people, bought a bottle for a friend and will be back. The wine bottles are pricey but worth it. About $67. Although they had a 50% off on the Maverick! And they have a membership where you don’t pay to be a member, just an agreement to buy the three bottles each quarter. I have a background in fine dining, studying wine, even fermented and made my own wine once, became a wine broker for a short time and I’ve tried many wines over the years. This place blew me away. I want to tell no one about it and everyone about it.
Love this place. It's like your backyard but better. So slow, great view, and wine vines. Oh and animals.
Very fun line dancing lesson. Wine was amazing (Bubba and Walk the Line are my two favorites). Great ambiance and people.
Newer winery and a step up in price from most in the area. The taste makes up for it though! Horses and llamas to say hi to on the farm.
Amazing views and great wine! Fantastic outside seating area with the perfect breeze. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Cab Franc was our favorite. We became members on our first visit and look forward to bringing our friends back here. And they are pet friendly which is a must! Cheers!
