Family owned and operated
Explore the San Diego wine scene with us!
It’s no secret that people come to San Diego for the beaches and nice weather, but what many people don’t realize is that we have quite a large farming community of orchards, flower fields and vineyards. Wine making has seen a comeback to the region for the past 15 years, and we have an incredible list of local Southern California wineries that are quaint, family owned and operated, and producing quality wines. Wine lovers can taste locally made wine from urban wineries, steps away from the beach, or drive out to the countryside and enjoy wine overlooking the vineyards and rolling hills. We love sharing this side of San Diego because there is so much history with farming in our city, and the places we visit are breathtaking, not to mention that the people running the wineries are incredibly passionate and enthusiastic to share their stories. Our tours will have you exploring the sights and areas of San Diego that you may not have heard of in travel publications.

Explore more on a private wine tour with us! – So Diego handles all of the planning so you don’t have to. We plan the logistics at each location, and with our connections, have access to areas and wineries that may not be open to the general public. On our tours, we visit up to 4 different locations, giving you a diverse experience.
We love history – We believe that a real good experience is done better when you understand the “why” behind the action. Whether it’s getting an understanding of why and how the winery region began, or why a vintner decided to open up in an urban metropolis, or why the art scene is so big in La Jolla, we enjoy sharing fascinating stories, and deepening your appreciation of San Diego.
Meet the experts – On our tours, we coordinate for our groups to get to know the people behind the magic. Meet vintners and/or owners of the wineries, and listen as they share their stories of how they came to make their dreams into reality.
