Best Wineries Near San Diego: Where to Go Wine Tasting From the City

San Diego is not the first city that comes to mind for wine country, but it sits within easy reach of two distinct pockets of it. An hour north on I-15, Temecula Valley has grown into Southern California’s best-known wine region outside the Central Coast, with dozens of estates along Rancho California Road and De Portola Road pouring everything from Rhone-style whites to bold reds, several with restaurants, resorts and regular live music. Forty minutes northeast, in the rural hills around Ramona and the San Pasqual Valley outside Escondido, a smaller and quieter scene of family-run wineries and boutique tasting rooms is easy to miss unless you know where to look.
