Escape the hustle and bustle with a sophisticated wine-tasting trip to Escondido. This charming region is home to several stunning vineyards and is less of a drive or Uber cost than going all the way to Temecula.

Our Fave Escondido Wineries

Domaine Artefact is renowned for its Rhône-style wines and picturesque views. Make sure to try the Syrah and Viognier, which are local favorites. At Espinoza Vineyards, you’ll enjoy a family-owned, intimate setting with boutique wines crafted with love and precision.

For a more natural wine experience, Vesper Vineyards offers unique blends made from local grapes, perfect for the adventurous palate. Orfila Vineyards & Winery is an award-winning destination with beautiful picnic spots and exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Last, but certainly not least,  Cordiano Winery pairs stunning views with delicious wood-fired pizzas, making their Sangiovese a must-try with your meal. Learn more about these spots in our San Diego Wineries blog.

Wine Tasting Tips:

  • Plan Ahead: Make reservations and check opening hours.
  • Pace Yourself: Savor the flavors and don’t rush.

Brunch is always a good idea, especially in La Jolla. With its breathtaking coastal views and upscale eateries, it’s the best place to start your day:

The Cottage La Jolla is famous for its stuffed French toast and cozy ambiance. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are a hit here. At George’s at the Cove, you’ll find spectacular ocean views and a sophisticated brunch menu, with the Crab Benedict being a standout dish. Duke’s La Jolla offers Hawaiian-inspired dishes in a laid-back setting, and the Hula Pie is a crowd-pleaser.  Lastly, Brockton Villa provides a historic beach cottage atmosphere with classic American breakfasts, where the Coast Toast is legendary.

Brunch Tips:

  • Reserve Early: These spots fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
  • Local Flavors: Don’t miss dishes featuring fresh, local ingredients.
  • Enjoy the View: Opt for outdoor seating to soak in the scenery.
