My wife and I took the San Diego vineyards tour with Paul Anthony as our guide/driver and it was an…read moreexcellent experience. Besides being an expert on wine, Paul Anthony also told us a lot about San Diego history along the way. It's hard to imagine a more perfect host. The first stop was the Bernardo Winery, where we learned about its history while having a delicious flight of wines (there were six different flight options!) and enjoyed a tasty charcuterie platter. The next stop was the Cordiano Winery, which had amazing views. We had another tasty flight there along with a salad and a delicious pizza. (My wife has a gluten allergy, along with other food allergies, and they were able to accommodate them all at both wineries.) The tour took about 4 hours. This was definitely one of the most fun experiences we've had in a while.

I'll start by saying our tour guide, Paul, was great. He had a big personality and made the whole…read moreatmosphere really comfortable and relaxed. One thing to note, he is very strict on timing, so if you think you've got an extra five minutes, you don't.. LOL Now onto the tour itself. I've done quite a few wine tours, and unfortunately this one was my least favorite. It was also the first wine tour I've done that only visited two locations, which was a bit of a letdown. The first winery had a nice selection, we got three wine tastings. The Burgundy was my favorite from The Heritage flight. The property itself was beautiful to walk around, with amazing scenery and lots of great photo spots. We also stopped by the sweets shop and picked up a few treats. There were also surrounding shops near the winery. Personally, they weren't really my style, but that comes down to taste. If you like clothing and home décor, you might enjoy it more. Clothing prices looked to start around $50 and went up from there. The home décor shop was very cute with lots of handmade items, mostly in the $20 range and higher. I skipped the candle shop due to allergies. The charcuterie board was a nice touch and came with a good variety of items. The second wine location included five tastings. I personally wasn't a fan of the wines here. One person in our group ordered a glass from the regular menu and shared it, it was much better than the tasting options, and most of the group seemed to agree this stop was a bit of a disappointment. That said, the views were absolutely incredible. The pizza included in the tour was a highlight for me, I had the vegetarian, and it was really good. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. There wasn't much walking around at this stop, so we mostly stayed at the table and ate. My favorite parts of the tour was the food and the tour guide. I'm glad I tried it and can check another wine region off my list, even if it wasn't my favorite experience overall. For reference, we were picked up at 9:45 AM and dropped off around 3:00 PM.

We went to three wineries and each one had something special to offer. The lunch we had was exquisite. The brownie pairing with wine was amazing!!! My group had the turkey wraps, roast beef sandwiches, and the Cesar salad! Food kept us going as we sipped many great wines. I had a memorable experience and I am looking forward to seeing them again.

Tucked away on beautiful grounds, you'll find a charming cottage-style winery complete with boutique shops, a restaurant, café, gelato shop, tasting room, and plenty of places to wander. The atmosphere almost feels a little Dutch and even reminded me of strolling through Solvang. I'd love to come back during the holidays when everything is decorated with lights and festive décor. Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed, but they do have a resident cat on the property, which I loved hearing about. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They shared some of the winery's history with us and even showed us old maps of the area from before it became Rancho Bernardo. The wine list was extensive, giving us plenty of options to explore. One of my favorite parts was browsing the small local businesses and shops throughout the property. Be warned: after a glass or two of wine, you may find yourself doing a bit of shopping! There are so many unique gifts, artisan products, and treasures to discover. Parking was easy, and the property is much larger than I expected, with countless little pockets to explore and plenty of seating throughout. I especially loved that the tasting room offered both indoor and outdoor seating, including a covered deck that made it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. This is much more than a winery. It's a destination. You could easily spend an entire afternoon here and never get bored. A truly unique San Diego gem that I'll absolutely be visiting again.

The employee working that evening was friendly and welcoming. After asking about my preferences, she guided me toward a sweet wine that was exactly what I was looking for. I can't recall the name of the wine, but it was crisp, refreshing, and had just the right amount of sweetness. If you're in the area and looking for a relaxing place to unwind with a glass of wine, San Pasqual is definitely worth a stop. The combination of great service, good wine, and a scenic waterfront setting made for a very enjoyable evening.

On our most recent visit, with another couple, we had a few hiccups with the service. The wine and bussing service were excellent. But we had to flag down the waiter to bring a missing salad after a lengthy delay. We started with an escargot appetizer ($18) with tarragon and basil compound butter, which didn't match the traditional garlic butter recipe in most restaurants. The snails weren't terrific, either. The Strawberry Caprese was a hit, and it was also $18. For entrées, the pan-seared scallops ($43) were the favorite. Followed by the chicken with seasonal vegetables ($36), then the duck (two ways, $39), confit and roasted, with the roasted being a bit dry, and a decent Madeira sauce. A couple at the next table praised the peppercorn steak, an 8-ounce ribeye, for $48.

What did was their mojito... BLACKBERRY MOJITO - this isn't always available but when it is, do get it. It doesn't taste like wine at all and it's very refreshing, I'm a sucker for anything berry and this made me a lover for this drink. Especially during a hot summer afternoon, friends tucked in the back socializing (and AC isn't really felt or there), this beverage is a life saver. Until the next visit...
