Walking in, we were greeted right away by Aiden and we opted to sit outdoor in their large, covered patio. It was hot but they had misters going which helped. Beth helped us and we and our friends chose a mixed flight and enjoyed each selection. We enjoyed the views and the live music. Another employee, Jeffrey, gave us a bit of history regarding the wineries and the award-winning wines. Overall, it was a great experience. The employees were so friendly. A few things to note, customers are able to bring their own food, no pets, and adults only.

I'm glad this place gives me the space to do that. I want to go back to try different dishes and wines, browse the shops, and save room for dessert! Perhaps I will come on a Friday since they have a farmer's market that day from 9am-1 pm! I had a date night and went on a Saturday, 2 hours before closing. We ordered Calabrese Pizza, Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza, Parmesan Fries, and Rigatoni & Vodka Sauce Pasta. My goodness, everything was GOOD! The Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza was my favorite, pure perfection of flavors. I know there's always a debate with pineapple on pizza but this apple and gorgonzola makes sense, I don't think anyone would ever question it. The parmesan fries was so yummy as well, you get a HEFTY amount. We actually didn't finish a good amount and took this home along with a few slices of pizza. Pasta was delicious as well, there was leftover pasta sauce that we just scooped up with the crust of the pizza. The ambience - amazing and beautiful. It is pretty spread out. I've only been here a couple times but I was able to find a table both times aside from the good amount of people the times I've came. We sat inside the tasting room and the food came out promptly. I do love that on hot days they will turn their misters on, great touch Way to keep us cool! We decided to do the Traditional Wine Tasting where you get six 1.5 oz pours of your choice for $32. Also, you can get free chocolate to pair with your wine at the dessert shop. Delicious, everything I ordered was what I needed. Everyone here just seems incredibly nice. From the people who took your order at the Kitchen, food runners, pourers, even the lady at the dessert shop (even though we didn't get any dessert lol) was friendly. We wanted to get dessert, but we had 15 minutes left till closing, however she didn't rush us out the outside area. I saw that there was a sugar free pistachio gelato flavor. I love that, seems like it was a hit because it was nearly all out! Next time I do go, I definitely want to try that and their cannolis!!! I love Cannolis. Anyways, back to the wine tasting, I believe her name is Cecilia (?), She was great. Great service along with the other pourer at the counter. I did not catch her name but she has blonde short hair and was very nice and friendly as well! Overall, 10/10, & I will be back very soon.

You order your food - pizzas and small Items at a different location where you would sit or go wine tasting. They will give you a number and they will bring it over. The problem is... you have to get your own silverware and plates and carry them all over the property. You do everything , even get your own water. And go get your own to go boxes and if you have to walk to the other side to get it, you have no choice: The pizzas were ok - wood fired. Their wines were terrible - equivalent to the cheap boxed wines. It is sort of a like a cute place, maybe good if there's only like a few in the party for like a girls day out. Not for big parties. The location is also tucked in the residential areas.

The winery offers outdoor seating and is very dog‑friendly, which is always a plus in my book. The wine selection is fairly limited, with one white wine and four reds. Unfortunately, I typically gravitate toward whites and rosés, so I only had one option to choose from, the Sauvignon Blanc. It was interesting and not quite my personal taste, but I still enjoyed trying something different. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating. During our visit, it suddenly started pouring rain and getting windy. Without missing a beat, the owner quickly rearranged tables and brought us, along with another group, inside to stay comfortable. That kind of hospitality really stood out. Prices were reasonable, and while they don't serve full food items, they do offer chips and salsa as a snack option. Nothing overly fancy here, but that's part of the charm. It's a cozy, unpretentious winery with kind owners, a welcoming atmosphere, and the type of personal touch that makes you want to come back.

On the day of our reservation, Steven text me two hours before our meeting time that he had to cancel due to tour bus experiencing a coolant problem. Unfortunately, because I was driving, I read the text one hour before our reservation time. It was a 2 hour commute, and to find out the tour is cancelled one hour before was a disservice. Unfortunately, we couldn't book any other tours because reservations were full everywhere else, It was close to 11 am which most tours leave. Then, Groupon refunds me in Groupon bucks instead of original form of payment, and this was split between two people. Just a mess, I don't recommend Straight off the Vine, you never know you might get a cancelled text 1 hr before your scheduled time.

If you visit during the fall, the décor is beautiful with lots of seasonal touches and plenty of photo opportunities to get you in the autumn spirit. The winery is easy to find right off the main road and has gorgeous views overlooking a large grassy lawn. There are so many seating options to choose from: a cool indoor space, a covered outdoor patio with tables that are great for groups, and my personal favorite -- the Adirondack‑style chairs scattered across the lawn with little side tables positioned perfectly to take in the view. They also have a restaurant on site that opens at noon and host trivia nights, which sounds like a fun excuse to come back. As a dog lover, I especially appreciated how dog‑friendly they are. They even have a resident winery dog named Pinot! I didn't get to meet him during my visit, but he apparently has his own little play area inside, which is adorable. The wine was good. I opted for a glass, which was a little on the pricier side, but overall I thought it was worth the visit for the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting, and welcoming vibe. A great spot to spend an afternoon with friends, family, or your pup.

The property itself is absolutely stunning, making it the perfect place to spend an afternoon.

One of my favorite wines is the La Dame Blanche, a beautiful Grenache Blanc with notes of citrus, white peach, and toasted almonds. It's crisp, refreshing, and incredibly well-balanced. Domaine Artefact has quickly become one of my go-to wineries. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just looking for a beautiful place to unwind with friends and family, I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Pro-Tip: They have a pizza vendor on site, but they ran out by the time we got there at 6:00 PM. Definitely get there earlier and order sooner rather than later!

I…read morecouldn't believe they're one of the newer wineries in the area because they feel so established and offer so much. The vibe is modern and a little kitschy in the best way. Inside is cute and stylish, while outside you'll find a huge shaded deck with the bar as the centerpiece. There's plenty of seating, and the whole property feels designed for relaxing and spending a few hours with friends. The winery offers table service, and the servers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and menu. They have snacks like chips and charcuterie, but during our visit they also had a Peruvian food truck pop‑up, and wow -- it was amazing. The food smelled so good we had to try it, and it absolutely delivered. We ordered the steak with chimichurri and Yukon potatoes, and I'm already looking forward to having it again. The chef was also incredibly kind and personally brought out our food. And of course, the wine was excellent. A beautiful winery with a welcoming atmosphere, great service, and plenty of space to spread out. Definitely worth a visit if you're exploring Escondido wine country.

Found this company a couple months ago when inquiring about a wine tour to Valle de Guadalupe…read more Unfortunately, they were booked out but Jane was kind enough to not only connect me with another person in the industry who could offer the tour location we wanted AND offer us a package for a different location. I was truly blown away by her transparency and her communication so I decided to proceed with her company. It was super easy to coordinate the logistics and itinerary. Not only was the itinerary perfectly curated, but she went above and beyond to make my group feel celebrated and appreciated. She congratulated my group on our accomplishments and even got me a cute "bride" headband to celebrate my recent engagement. Very sweet and thoughtful! In addition, safety is clearly a top priority. The date we chose happened to be an extremely hot day and Jane took initiative to rearrange our itinerary to make sure we could still enjoy the day and keep as cool as possible. Lunch was catered from a local farm to table local business and it was absolutely delicious- definitely make sure you have enough appetite to enjoy it! We also paid extra for a wine and cheese pairing and we are SO glad we did. Some things to consider/ tips: 1. Our day started a little rocky due to inevitable traffic and a wrong turn, but Jane quickly resolved the issue with the driver and we had a great time moving forward. If you have the option to board your shuttle early definitely do it. 2. Time at each winery is pretty limited.. you won't have too much time to take all the photos you'd like AND sit and enjoy your tastings per winery visit.. if you're determined to get a good selection of photos bring your glass with you and do your best to keep up with those just tasting. There were a few moments we felt a bit rushed because we wanted to do both. 3. If music selection on your shuttle is important to you, have the person in charge of tunes arrive to the shuttle early to set up the blue tooth. It was trickier to set up than we aniticpated so there was a good 20 minutes of silence and troubleshooting happening as we were on the road Overall, Jane is a SUPERB host and does everything in her power to make sure you have the best experience. If i wasn't moving soon I'd definitely want to book this experience again!
