We had the best experience getting married here. The staff was incredible and super helpful. You cannot beat the views! It was really important for us to have our funds go to a business we believe in and align with. We love Rancho Guejito and have also been wine members since we booked our wedding with them. It's so fun to be able to revisit the place we got married again and again. You seriously cannot beat the views! read more

My husband and I had our wedding at Rancho Guejito in early November 2025, and they truly made our big day one of the most wonderful and memorable days of our lives. We worked closely with Nicole Park throughout the entire planning process and cannot thank her enough. Her flexibility with communication, accommodations, and attention to detail made everything feel seamless. She genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for our actual wedding day, and it showed in every way. Nicole and the entire Rancho Guejito team are exceptional at what they do. Everyone is incredibly friendly, professional, and solution-oriented, with an impressive network of resources and vendor connections. From start to finish, it truly felt like the team had our backs on all fronts. Their level of care, organization, and professionalism made the planning process feel far less stressful. The property itself is absolutely stunning -- vast greenery, rolling vineyards, citrus trees, and the most incredible natural scenery. It even smells amazing on site! We were lucky enough to be one of the first couples to host our wedding at the new venue location after originally booking the former space, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The new venue is breathtaking and perfectly complemented our moody, romantic wedding vision. The new getting-ready suites are beautiful and thoughtfully designed, and having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces so close together was a huge plus for our guests. Even months later, our guests still talk about how magical the Rancho Guejito property is. Between the lush landscape, expansive views, and countless photo locations across the property, it truly feels like an exclusive and intimate experience for you and your partner. My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our wedding day turned out at Rancho Guejito and highly recommend them for your wedding or any special event. read more

Recently got married at Rancho Guejito and I couldn't recommend this venue more!! First off it is BEAUTIFUL!!! You are surrounded by mountains and vines and it made for amazing photos! We also loved that the space really provided a blank canvas and we had so much freedom to do whatever we wanted with the space. We brought in live music, churros, our own alcohol, our own caterer, and our own rentals so our vision was really able to come to life!! At first I was nervous about the 10pm cutoff but most outdoor venues in San Diego also comply with this rule and after actually going through a wedding as the bride I was exhausted by 10pm lol! The office manager was very easy to work with throughout the entire process. The vendor recommendations were awesome as well as I found a lot of great people that helped bring the party to life. My wedding had a total of 240 people which made me nervous but we fit comfortably in the space and there was room for more. Overall great experience and great views! read more

The grounds are beautiful! The accommodations were great; they were very hospitable.

From the moment we stepped foot at Rancho Guejito Vineyard, we knew it would be home to our wedding! My (now) husband and I toured over 12 of San Diego's most popular, outdoor wedding venues and each time we left feeling mostly disappointed. There was either too many restrictions for the price or they required that we follow their template. Needless to say when we stumbled upon Rancho Guejito, it was the biggest breath of fresh air! Not only was Nicole so personable from the moment we met, but all our wishes during the tour were followed with a reassuring 'Yes!'. We left finally feeling confident that our wedding day would turn out just how we had imagined it! We are huge nature and wine lovers and this place captured that and more! The property transports you to a private, picturesque vineyard. The reception site at night will take your breath away... The property is STUNNING, the team is INCREDIBLE, and Nicole is a dream to work with. Her organized system of communication made us feel at ease throughout our entire wedding planning process. She is a true professional and an absolute gift to the wedding industry! it was no surprise that with her guidance and expertise, our wedding day was executed perfectly. Nicole and her team worked behind the scenes while my husband and I were able to be present with our family. They even offered us last minute heaters when there was a sudden shift in the weather! We had many out of town guests who still rave about the venue today and they have even made online purchases from the winery after our wedding! Walking away from our wedding venue was bittersweet but it brings us so much joy to know we can visit any weekend! Though our paths with Nicole and her team may never cross again, we feel so grateful and blessed that we found each other. We continue to cherish our beautiful photos and relive our favorite day over and over again. If we could give some advice to couples looking for a beautiful, stress free, and magical wedding venue, it would be to look no further, you've come to the right place! read more

We had the most beautiful wedding of all time at Rancho Guejito!! My husband and I had a long list of needs: outdoors, able to have a live band, large guest count, and gorgeous setting-- Rancho Guejito was the only venue that ticked all of those boxes and we are so lucky it did! Nicole and her team were amazing at helping our vision come to life, answering all of our many questions with patience and intelligence. We made use of the full property and were able to give our guests the most unique experience. Guests raved about the location, the wine, and everything that went with the experience. Thank you for helping us have the best wedding ever! read more

Finally a wedding venue that lets you make your special day just how YOU want it. No cookie cutter weddings here. This venue met all the marks. Use any caterer or food truck you want, use any dj or music you want, use any day of coordinator you want. The power of choice, at a price that couldn't be beat by the 20 other venues we looked at when taking into account the amenities, tables, chairs, heaters etc. Did I mention it's stunning? Stunning. Every part of it. Nicole and her team were amazing. They answered every question, set expectations and never made promises that weren't kept. Quality service and experience at this venue. read more

If you're looking for an absolutely beautiful and affordable place to get married look no further! My husband and I got married at Rancho Guejito in 2023 and had the best experience. Nichole and her team were amazing throughout the planning proses, day of and even post wedding. They did not miss a detail and were so helpful in accommodating our dream day! We felt we had the freedom to make our wedding unique to who we are as a couple not just pick from a venue's options. They even gifted us a beautiful wood board with our names and wedding date engraved on it. They truly were such a joy and I highly recommend this venue for anything! The best part is their wine is so good! Thank you Nichole and all the staff at Rancho Guejito! read more

100% YES! Rancho Guejito Vineyards is nothing like you have ever experienced! Their property is spacious, gorgeous and run by the sweetest woman in the world! Nicole pours her heart and soul into this venue, and it shows! As a native Escondido gal, this venue feels like home. Take the tour, sip the wines and experience the beauty of Rancho Guejito. Did I mention they have WINE...? XO, Lindsay Dean Events read more

Our Rancho Guejito wedding was absolutely the wedding of our dreams! Not only is the venue stunning (obviously), but we appreciated all the ways we could bring our own personality into the space. We cannot say enough good things about the team that works here! Nicole and her staff are amazing - they made us feel supported, loved, and so special from our first tour to now. I would give Rancho Guejito 10 stars if I could! read more

From the start Nicole and her team were absolutely amazing, we originally lost our first venue just a few months before the wedding and luckily Rancho Guejito had availability for our specific date. It was great because we had already organised all of our own vendors and we needed to find a place where we could bring in everything we had organised and paid deposits for. The venue is amazing, the bridal suite where we got ready was beautiful with backlit mirrors, couches, and even a little kitchenette... There were multiple areas that we could choose to have the reception and the ceremony, which made it so much more special. One of my prerequisites was that the place look magical ie. Have a lot of fairy lights and Rancho Guejito surely does have that in all of the areas, even including the little archways walking from the ceremony/cocktail hour area to the reception area through the vineyard. Very magical. It was really great as well because we had a large number of guests, and therefore had to be able to have the space and enough tables and chairs to allow for comfort. Being that our wedding was in November, it was a little bit chilly, and thankfully they had a lot of heaters. Also, another amazing thing is that there are multiple areas where you can go and do first look and or private vows and get some really amazing photographs. Another bonus is the included valet which made it extremely easy for all of our guests to take advantage of easy parking, so they didn't miss the ceremony. This venue and the team at the venue and everyone else that helped to bring the day together made this the most absolutely perfect day. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone that is considering using it. read more

I had my dream wedding at Rancho Guejito! Nicole, the venue manager makes you feel so special and welcome throughout the months of planning. Their communication is fast and helpful. The venue is heaven on earth and I had the best day ever. It was nice to be able to bring in all of our own vendors and also chose from a top tier list provided by Nicole. They provide tables and chairs and can rent out many other things that you may need. The wine is top tier, there was no need to serve any other kind of alcohol. I love the view from the Ceremony lawn. And walking to the reception lawn is quick and gorgeous. You really feel like you get the destination wedding vibe without going too far. I am so sad that this day is over, I cannot wait to visit RG again! read more

Rancho Guejito was the absolute dream venue for our wedding! The venue was absolutely beautiful and Nicole and the whole staff were so friendly, helpful, and warm throughout planning and our actual wedding day. We feel welcomed like family there and the vibe is just perfect. They were flexible and helpful with all of our requests and promptly answered all of our questions - and to boot, their wine is amazing and the wine tasting experience for picking our wedding wines was one of our favorite parts of planning! We are wine club members here and look forward to coming back over and over again to re-live our perfect day. read more

We are so happy we chose Rancho Guejito for our wedding venue! It was so fun to be able to customize our wedding exactly how we wanted (there was no required list of vendors we needed to use), and of course the venue itself is beautiful with the mountains and vineyards. The space was able to easily handle a 200+ person wedding while still making it feel intimate yet not overcrowded. Nicole, the venue manager, was so professional throughout the entire process and was quick to respond to emails. She made the whole process feel easy and we really enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend Rancho Guejito. read more

Their entire staff is lovely. From Dominique to Lauren to Hank... amazing staff. We are a family of 4 (and 5 if we bring our dog)... we bring family and friends and encourage everyone to join (because as members it is second to none treatment). Very southern European feel. Visiting RG is a quality experience... it's an event... it's quality time spent drinking great wine and eating delectable food, while listening to live music... we bring our bocce ball... with old friends and family members of all ages... while making new friends every time. 5 plus stars. Seriously, join today! Founders Club. You won't regret it! read more

Rancho Guejito was the fairy tale wedding I always dreamed of! Nicole and staff was AMAZING, professional and just a pure joy to work with during a busy wedding planning season. My now Husband and i CANNOT thank you all enough for this amazing experience here. And we seriously cannot wait to come back here to visit for wine tasting. It is purely a special place to be. read more

If there is such a thing as a perfect day, it was our wedding day at this beautiful vineyard. Jonathan, Melissa, and the rest of the team were more than accommodating--responding quickly to our questions as well as ensuring that our special day went smoothly. We always envisioned having an outdoor wedding and this venue had it all AND more! You are surrounded by gorgeous greenery and beautiful mountains. The north lawn was perfect for our ceremony and the south lawn was a dream for our reception of 141 guests. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking. So many amazing views that it would be impossible to take a "bad" photo anywhere!! More than anything, Jonathan and his team are some of the nicest people in the biz. It really meant a lot for us to be able to trust our vendors, and I can honestly say that we did wholeheartedly. Thank you Rancho Guejito for making our wedding a dream come true! :) read more

Oh my where do I start?! I'm a Professional Wedding Photographer and think choosing a venue that not only treats it's guests right but its vendors as well, is SOO important! Everyone working together to make the clients day an unforgettable experience is necessary and I'm happy to say I'm very impressed with Rancho Guejito's customer service. For me that's number one but they not only are kind and excited to host weddings, but their property is PRIme. It's quaint, darling, cottage-like in an area where I've never seen anything like it. It's intimate but also spacious and open. The opportunity for captures is ENDless. Ohh and the citrus trees?! Talk about elevating your images. The Coordinator places the arches in the perfect spots that photographs well and the sunsets are to die for. The patio is just the right size for a hoppin dance party with amazing acoustics! The trees are placed perfectly giving you ample spots to frame your sweetheart and dessert tables! I can't say enough good! Ohh and their getting ready rooms are open & fresh fitting the aesthetics of the property. It's a must view and I'm happy to offer 10% off to anyone who books me who books their wedding with them as I could photograph there all day! read more
