A nice family business. The couple are very friendly and love to share their history. The Port is my favorite. The patio area is well done and spacious. All the regular patrons are welcoming as if your family.

Nice grounds and views for wine tasting in Escondido area. Wines were OK and samples were not hugely generous. But pretty place and fun to stop with a group of friends.

Absolutely my favorite wine and winery in San Diego. The owners are amazing knowledgeable/educated people - they understand what makes an incredible bottle of wine. The atmosphere is top notch. A must visit on the Hyland Valley trail. I never leave disappointed nor without a couple bottles of vino! -sb

Once in a while you luck into a place that totally suits your sensibilities - great wine, chill, relaxed, unhurried vibe, a beautiful but unfussy family friendly setting, and warm and friendly hosts who take the time to share their story with visitors.Did the tasting to select our bottles, and ended up selecting the Reserva Especial White and the Monastrell, both lovely, rounded wines for drinking alone or with a meal. And then visited the cave and got a taste of the Tempranillo, which well be sure to snag a bottle of next time.We stayed until the magical light of sunset glowed over the vineyards, and that was a perfect way to cork a perfect day.Looking forward to returning soon.

The best winery we have been to in the area! It is a small cozy vineyard and you feel like family - also, the wine is amazing! Definitely recommend as one of the top wineries to add to your bucket list! They invest in the people that come visit them and their wines! Love love love!

My husband and I visited Espinosa winery on a 3 day stay in Ramona. What a great place! Beautiful outdoor tasting area with an amazing view. We brought our lunch the first time we stopped. Noelle was so welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed their wines. So much we went back our last day and bought some more to take home with us.

This is a very enjoyable, very pretty spot high up on Bandy Canyon Rd., and well worth a stop to sample their wines which are quite good and to enjoy the view and the location. The owners are terrific hosts as well. Great spot to bring lunch, buy a bottle or more of their wine and have lunch and wine outside in their tasting area

Cool place, intimate and beautiful. Not a huge selection, but they were all good to taste. Super local and great owners, happy to be here and support. At some point they’ll probably grow bigger, great for them, however I do love how quaint it is.

Fantastic small business with owners who care equally about the wine and the experience. I stumbled across this particular winery because of Google, so its only fair that I help others do the same.Small-ish selection of wines, but they span the entire lets do a tasting range. I personally prefer the bigger, tannic reds, and I wasnt disappointed.

Top notch winery and a pleasant surprise. Beautiful views from the outdoor tasting room that is covered by shade for hot days. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere. The wines are quite amazing especially if you like the fruitiness of wines. I tasted five to six wines for $10 and all were great which is quite rare. If you buy a bottle of wine, the tasting fee is waived which is exactly what I did. Roberto, the owner, is extremely nice, easy to talk to, and very informative about the wine making process.

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL Winery. Love Noelle & Roberto. They are such warm & friendly family. Their wines are over the top & so amazing. My Husband and I love this place. I loved that once I liked a wine so much, Roberto said, Im sorry I dont have labels for that one yet- But let me write on that for you ... Personally it made the bottle more special....Cant wait to return. A+ A+ A+ A+ A+

My girlfriend and I were taking a small vacation away in Ramona and it was our first time in the area. We tried out tons of the local wineries. Honestly, while they were all pretty good, Espinosa was by far our favorite.Every wine we tried was spectacular and the woman that provided our tasting (wish I could remember her name) was incredibly friendly and accommodating! She was so enthusiastic about wine and clear about the process of wine making--that alone made us want to get a bottle. Having said that, the wine stand on its own too. Especially their rosé. One of the bests Ive had in awhile.Thanks for making our trip so pleasant!

A picturesque boutique winery with an amazing view. The wine is great and the owners make you feel like a regular, even if it is your first visit. You would be foolish not to stop by this establishment.

Roberto and Noelle blend the art and science of wine making into the best wine in San Diego county. The Tempranillo is amazing, really a fantastic wine for the region. The Pinot Noir is an exceptional fruit forward style. The Albariño is light and high in acidity - the perfect summer wine for San Diego. The passion and pride of the owners come through on all of wines offered.
