Truly enjoyed myself. Awesome staff, very polite and accommodating. Extremely safe. They pause operations for through cleaning. Take temperatures upon entering. If you dont have an appointment, no fear. You can still enjoy your wine and goodies in the picnic area. Benches are plenty spaced. Perfect for that Zen break

Orfila is great! Beautiful grounds with awesome views of their vineyards which produce their tastey red wines (they also have whites) good for groups or just a couple having a glass or two. Consider becoming a member to take advantage of their benefits that are also good at the Orfila tasting room and restaurant in Oceanside. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too (Christian, Kathrine, Gilly, Jenny, Victoria, Luke, Chuck and everyone else). By the way the food at the Oceanside location is fantastic! Cheers!

Gorgeous views and wonderful wine. Just missing food options and they wont let you bring in your own. Its also frustrating you cant bring your baby onto the lawn. I understand enforcing the 21 year age requirement for the actual building but I was surprised I couldnt enjoy the winery with my infant. We were only allowed to sit in the back side with no view.

I always love this place ! good food Good atmosphere good wine! They got a cute gift shop. It is kind of expensive tea here but if course is way worth it.

Great place. Working well with governors restrictions. They always make you feel welcome and worthy of their complete attention. Going back as often as I can.

The winery was very well maintained and the staff were calm during this pandemic which is good because their priority is your safety along with theirs. I would say that it feels like a professional establishment, so if you are referring to this place for a more “fun” time with friends. Please consider the environment that you are in, people here are more for the family situations or date nights. My friends and I definitely were not taken as seriously unless we took the initiative to show that we weren’t young 21 year olds. However, I would say that this is quite a nice place if you are here for quiet afternoon or evening with friends. Make reservations for Fridays-Sundays. I gave it 4/5 stars because we tipped 20% and were treated quite poorly for buying two bottles of wine along with maintained social distance.

Great views, convenient location without going into Napa valley. The wines are quite tasty. If you purchase your tasting fee is waived. The wine is not over priced.

Great spot to come and relax. The winery respects and enforces social distancing with guests. The view was perfect today and look forward to our next visit.

Parking is very easy to come by around here. The tour was extremely informative, and the guide was very charming. The wine was a hit. Definitely an Orfila Vineyards and Winery.

I had the worst winery experience of my life here, my group wasted money on a perfectly good bottle of wine due to the not so friendly staff.The winery has time slots you can come in to taste wines. Make sue you bring an egg timer to put on your table and set it to go off 30 minutes before your time slot is over. The staff will quite literally will snatch the glasses from your hands when your time is up.What upset me the most was they do not announce a last call or warn you when the time is close to being up. They literally sold an opened a bottle of wine to my group with 15 minutes left in our time slot. We poured glasses and were each about half way through our glass when the time was up. One of the workers came over and tried to take a half full glass of wine out of all our hands. When I politely asked if we could finish our glasses she immediately responded with I will go get the manager.The manager quickly arrived and asked us to hand over our glasses and told us our time was up and they needed to clean the table for the next group. I understood and asked if we could go sit in the grass for 10 minutes and finish our wine and then be on our way. He told us no and that it could potentially confuse the arriving guests. He then went and got us paper cups and had us chug our wine in the parking lot....I suggested it would be helpful if they announced a last call or something in the future and maybe not to sell and open wine bottles for guests when last call came. He rudely responded, we are all adults here we can all tell time. I was literally trying to help and the manager did not care at all.I have never been asked to chug wine out of a paper glass in the parking lot before and cant believe they literally confiscated our glasses out of our hands when time was up. I dont think they could have possibly cleaned all the tables in the ten minutes it would have taken us to finish our glasses of wine. They didnt even try to work with us....

Horrible experience, I would never go back. We took a four-day old 6 pound baby in a car seat to have a glass of wine and they chased us out saying it was 21+. Keep in mind we had made a reservation and they didn’t say anything during our reservation about being not allowed to bring a car seat with you. When I asked to speak to a manager, the lady sassed me and said “have a great day.” We have been members for years and will never be back.

Had a great tasting experience here as they opened on a sunny Thursday morning. We shared a tasting ($15 w/o tax) and throughly enjoyed the range of wines they had to offer. We learned about the history of the owners and the vineyards. They have a huge wine club (by Willamette Valley, Oregon standards) & have developed the tasting room and winery into an event venue, including an area that is family friendly (under 21). Stop & try these wines and take some home with you (we did!).

Great tasting by appt only!Nice wines and beautiful park

Beautiful place to hang out and have a few glasses of wine. It overlooks a very nice golf course and has mountain view as well. There is a patio area for food and drinks, but they also have a picnic area with grass and benches.

Orfila Vineyards and Winery is stunning! I truly enjoy photographing every part of this breathtaking venue!!!

Were staying in Oceanside and wanted to experience visiting a vineyard and wine tasting. The Escondido area is incredibly picturesque and even if you dont care for wine its a relaxing and beautiful place to visit. An unexpected highlight of Orfila vineyard was live music by Joe Cardillo, a very personable and talented singer and instrumentalist. Well worth the 30-40 minute trip from Oceanside. I was surprised to see live entertainment on a Monday afternoon. Kudos to Orfila!

Take the free tour at noon, Teona is the the best -knowledgeable and fun. Beautiful views and full tasting room with snacks and souvenirs.

Joining the OWL CLUB allows you to enjoy a wonderful night of Jazz, delicious tapas, and great conversation. Each person gets a tasting card. From 5-7pm.

Always friendly staff. Membership is worth it. Beautiful setting as well.

Beautiful and very good covid precautions!

Love this winery! So much closer than Temecula and such a sweet little area to relax and enjoy an afternoon. Really delicious wine! My favorites are the Grenaché Rose & the Pinot Noir Sequestered.Today was my husbands and my first time at Orfila and we became members because of how awesome the atmosphere is. Seating is limited-ish but you can bring chairs to sit on the grass (noted!). I also love that they have a family area separate from the 21+ area. Can’t wait to come back!Also we LOVE jazz and there just so happened to be a live jazz band today!

The ambassador wine tasting is worth it! The wine paired with dark chocolate is divine! Only downside is way way way too many fruit flies.

Beautiful views, organized, clean, great job adjusting to COVID from a patrons perspective

After a round of golf love coming here sampling all the tasty wines paired with friendly staff.

Great wine! Beautiful setting!

We recently joined this beautiful winery and couldn’t be happier! They have Temecula-quality wine without the drive. They’re on a beautiful property with great views. As well, they have a separate area for families and children to run around and play without disturbing the adults who are there for some alone time with other adults! Best of both worlds! Their wine is also very reasonably priced. If you join the wine club, they do special events for members only. We love Orfila!

Beautiful place for Sam and Michaels wedding tomorrow!!!

Pull up a chair so I can share my experience with OV&W. My daughter had her wedding there and I cannot state enough what a wonderful experience we all had. The wedding coordinator, Tania was fantastic! She had it all under control and whatever we needed she did it. I kept telling my daughter not to expect a perfect wedding because something always goes awry. However, I can honestly say her wedding was perfect with no problems at all and I truly believe it was all because of Tania and her expertise and professionalism. The staff that helped were all very friendly and professional as well. If you are looking for a venue for your special day or event look no further than Orfila Vineyards and Winery! And if you are looking for a wedding venue make sure you ask for Tania! She really is the best and will help to make your day special. I just cant say enough about her and her friendly professionalism on the day of my daughters wedding. She really made it that more special by taking care of everything so we could relax and just enjoy in our daughters special day.

Stunning vineyard only 25 minutes from downtown!I came here for a yoga event hosted by Yoga Jawn and it was a breathtaking location. Delicious collection of wines and you can buy gourmet cheese and crackers.

New procedures during covid19, but nice to have them back.

Great experience at Orfila today. Lena was wonderful - very helpful. This is a beautiful vineyard with great wine.

This was a great winery and had my favorite Pinot Noir and my favorite Rose (Estate). The wine tasting is 6 tastes and it is a perfect way to try out everything. The grounds amazing and well taken care of, however there werent enough places to sit and I had to spend most of the time inside. Something that is really cool is that Tom Hanks has a house that you can see from the grounds, I added a picture.

Great winery, beautiful grounds, and great wine!!

Great find , was fairly busy on Memorial Day with live music . The staff were Super friendly and the wine was pretty good .

Nice️

Beautiful scenery. You can sit outside and see the mountains and vines. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed both the reds and whites.

Been coming here for a long time. Great Escondido stop. Wine is Good too....

Good selection of red and white wines.

Great wine, beautiful views!

One of the best winerys in San Diego county

Great wine spot and a beautiful location! There are two separate areas, one where dogs are allowed and another where kids are welcome in a park area, where they run around and play. We had a great time wine tasting here and looking forward to more visits.

Anything grown on their estate is very good. The service is excellent and the grounds are absolutely beautiful.

A really wonderful experience for my daughter, she had turned 21 earlier in the month and wanted to go wine tasting, she had a ball, and the staff was soo friendly, they even took the time to teach her a little bit about how to test the wine, how to taste, what to look for in smelling the wine and what to look for in a good quality wine. Our family and friends all enjoyed a wonderful experience. Also I was privileged to meet the owner, Mr. Orfila, a very kind man, let me take his picture so the staff followed his example of hospitality

Fabulous place! Great view lovely people

Beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine and soak up the scenery. The buildings are rather industrial but there is a nice picnic spot overlooking the incredible view of the winery and mountains. A little spit of rain came by and left us with a rainbow in the valley below!

Wines are delicious. Ambiance is really nice. The vineyard is beautiful. Some of the ladies there are super nice. Great place to have a picnic on the weekend, or go chill on a Friday night with your group of friends. Wish they had heaters outside though. Or maybe even a fire pit. That would be nice on a cold night. A glass of wine, sitting around the fire pit and enjoying great company.

Great place great wines....

It’s probably the only winery where kids are unwelcome

Happened to drive by Orfila on the way to the Safari Park and decided to stop by on our way out. What a beautiful property. There was a front patio area overlooking the vineyards. It was a Sunday afternoon and they had a live band playing there. The tasting room is pretty spacious and all the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. There were tables outside along the side of the tasting room and also a picnic area with tables in the back for additional seating. Both whites and reds were really good!

Had a great time tasting all the delicious wine. It was made much better by the awesome service we got from Greg!!

Nice and clean relaxing place!!

Great vinue and staff

Nice afternoon, wine, patio music..what is not to love

We have been members since the tasting room in Julian opened (now closed) and the service at the counter in Escondido has been less than stellar since. For the second time in under a year we were left standing while the staff waited on people that came in after us. I habitually wear t-shirts and jeans so maybe they think I’m a loser (34 year federal employee) and the others were dressed to the nines however, should that matter? We have decided to cancel our membership as this is unacceptable.

Great place to chill and relax with friends. Live music most weekends, check schedule. Always nice to see dogs and kids happily playing on the grass. They have a special section if you want to bring a picnic. Food trucks on Fridays ,and nibbles inside too.

Most favorite non-ocean place to escape to on any given day! The view & atmosphere will totally distract you from missing an ocean view at all & that is saying a LOT!

Fun experience at the vineyard. Its beautiful and the wines are quite delicious. Glad we came out for a few tastings.

We had the best wine tasting with Sheila today. In addition to being knowledgeable about the wines we tasted, she also explained the story and history of the Ofila vineyards and the Argentinian Ambassador Orfila who originally owned the property. She also shared the history of the large San Diego County wine region in a way that brought it to life.We really enjoyed the wines as well especially the reds. We highly recommend this experience and will be back whenever we have out-of-town guests. Thank you!!

Just good wines and cool environment

We had a great time here. The tour was complete and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Beautiful winery with great views, excellent friendly employees and really good wines. The wines arent as cheap as some other places but they are very good wines though. Nice array of gifts to purchase on the inside. Area for adults only and a family friendly separate area. Pet friendly. Available for special events. Im a member here so I really do like this winery.

Wines were pretty good. 6 tastings for $15.The servers didnt offer any tasting tips, backgrounds of the wines, or details of the winery itself, which I thought was disappointing. If I just wanted to drink wine I could get a bottle for cheaper at the store.

Beautiful views and friendly staff. Place was very crowded this Sunday afternoon when we went to pick up our wine club delivery. There was a food truck and a live singer. Had a nice visit with a glass of wine. Nice that this place is so close to where we live that we can just drop by for a quick tasting. Good wine selection with something for everyones tastes.

I always have a great time coming here. Its a great place to listen to music or have a picnic.

Had a great time wine tasting! Staff was very knowledgeable on their wines and shared their knowledge freely. Although it was busy, we never had to wait to be served. Fun afternoon!!

Scenic outside area. Plenty of unique gifts inside. Food trucks and music most nights not to mention the great wines inside

Ambiance abound. Good wine. Great music on the weekends. Love this place.

Wonderful winery! Always the best service! The view are beautiful and the wine is good too! Christine, Jess and Tom are the best!!

Dishonest and bad customer service. They had a sign that they close at 4pm, but when we made it to the counter at the winery at 3:19 they just told us ah, actually we dont pour wine after 3:15. We begged but to no avail. Just bad. Avoid.

I loved this place just loved it. I brought a friend with me after 4pm on a Friday and they had live music another plus. When you purchase wine tasting on Group on the price is $12 for two people. The staff (all the men) were amazing I love people. The one women that helped me once that night wasnt too pleasant but that didnt spoil the place. Inside the winery where you get your glass filled its like a little wine store with a hint of history and a lot of background. Being a member you get a lot of perks. We sat on grass area looking over into the vines. They dont serve food but they had a 5 start lunch truck. Im definitely going back. Also theres a area for picnics, family with kids and adult only area. A mix of ages but I would say more so a mature crowd. And I read a comment of people complaining.... I have no honest CLUE WHY ANYONE WOULD BRING KIDS OR CHILDREN FOR THAT MATTER TO A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF ADULTS. (which means its not a place for kids to play its for adults to relax) if they have room for the kids then so be it but dont get mad.

Sit outside and enjoy the scenery. The sun was setting and shining on the mountain and it was very pretty. We did the taste testing and were able to try six wines. The samples are a nice size portion. We liked all of them. The winery has a very nice gift shop. You can also buy bread, cheeses, meats to drink with your wine. There is quite a bit of outdoor seating. Ma nice relaxing time.

Wines are good! Beautiful views. BUT the servers are not friendly and do not treat members well at all. Bearded fellows ( red and dark hair) and Peggy are good. They used to be outstanding and some of the guys are still well with customer service. But the older ladies working there have no clue how to treat customers or members! Head out to Hungry Hawk and Old Survey Vineyards where they still care about customer service and treating their members well! Support you smaller wineries who need the business because I’m not sure ofeila cares about their members anymore. @oldsurveyvineyards @hungryhawl @hilltopwinery

Ive passed by this winery several times en route to the San Diego Safari Park with my wife. We finally managed to check it out on the return trip today. The atmosphere was nice. We each got the six-wine tasting, and split them, so we were able to try twelve.The pours were slightly small, but reasonable. Between the two of us, we tried six white wines, two rosés, three reds, and a red dessert.Unfortunately, I didnt record the names to match to our opinions of the wines, but I can safely say that we each thought about eight were average and two were bad. We each particularly liked the Petit Syrah and the dessert wine.

Awesome.. Great wine, beautiful views and amazing Staffs

Great wine. Great service. Being a member pays off.

Unfortunately we visited this establishment for the last time recently, where our experience was negative for multiple reasons. Namely, it seems kids are now unwelcome in large portions of the property where they had been in years past, including the main patio area where one could relax and eat/drink wine. There is a grassy area on one side of the property that does allow kids, but on sunny days if you arent lucky enough to get a picnic table in the shade, it is sweltering. The patrons who did find shady places to sit inexplicably moved (I was told by a staff member) all the tables with umbrellas into the shade as well, which could have been better managed, in my humble opinion, for the enjoyment of more guests. While many seemed to be having a good time, what had been a nice way to spend the day has turned into something else in my book.

Great people to serve you great wine. Great outdoor patio and park-like setting. You see horizon-to-horizon grape vines producing fine bourdeaux, Chianti, burgundy and many other inter-regional California varietal wines...both red and many whites. This is my 15th year shopping and celebrating there. Enjoy!

We love spending a quiet afternoon here for a tasting as members. Weekends are fun and awesome with food trucks and live music. And cant wait to check out another trivia night soon!!

We were in the Park area. great for kids, bring you own food! Definitely will go back.

TRIVIA NIGHT!!!! I come here with friends almost every time they do a trivia night, I think its once or twice a month on a Thursday night. The wine makes trivia all the more entertaining, and they dont mind if you bring your own snacks, wine and cheese night please. All in all, a great winery with great wine, Your a Quizard Harry for the win !!!

Great wine. Great view. Great music.

Great wines! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff. And lets not forget the amazing view, its like your in southern Italy (only right off the 15 highway)

Very friendly vineyard, The wines are very good and moderately priced the view and ambiance are beautiful, and I love the entertainment! Its just a great place to go, relax and have a good time with friends or family. :-)

A beautiful view to vineyard and golf course with options of so many good red and white wine tasting.

Im a member here. We love the patio and the music on the weekends. Im sitting there right now. However the front patio is 21 and over. As I speak there are about 8 kids running around. I said something to the staff and they have done nothing. Apparently some people are above the rules . I would have given 4 stars if it wasnt for this ongoing issue. Why have a rule if you dont enforce it?

Great place to have a relaxing weekend evening hanging out with big views of the hills around San Pasqual valley, music, and good wine. And the crab cakes from the food truck that day were delish.

Great winery, always enjoy their tasting, or just buy a bottle and enjoy the hillside view of their vineyard from the outdoor patio,and weekend live music. Full body reds, am a fan of red wine, they also have excellent white wine. I wish you were closer I would be there every week.and if it is your first time, the winery gives a free winery tour one a day only at 12 noon, I highly recommend the tour sometimes they will bring an open bottle of wine with them, make sure you have your glass just incase.cant wait to go back.

Families are 2nd class citizens. We have been here before and it was a great family atmosphere. They have since narrowed their market and decided families are not in it. We were removed from the area with the nice view and live music where my sister was having her birthday part to a spot in the back with freeway noise, no music, surrounded by fencing with no trespassing signs. We were separated from our party and felt very discriminated against. Great place if you dont have kids.

Great View, easy to get to, Christines the great host knows Lots about wine well of course she does she works at a winery but anyway go give her a visit you wont regret it

We love this place!! The membership is an amazing deal on really tasty wine. Highly recommended.

Wine is good and not expensive. The place is beautiful, lots of parking and lots of outdoor sitting to enjoy the view.The food isnt cheap but you can bring your own.

Wine is great but who really stole the show was the food vendor there. SPINNING MEATS CATERING was awesome!

Very pretty. And the wine was nice.

Not bad wine, but when you drink at the “rose park” they don’t have any tap water to offer to their customers besides the rinse-out-wine-glass-water.

Beautiful patio - lovely wines - highly recommend this place!

Ive been coming here for years, I went to pick up my wine yesterday, we went out side ,BECAUSE THEY DONT ALLOW KIDS INSIDE, nobody was on the patio except a couple and there DOG, I was told I was not allowed to have my son out there but DOGS were OK inside and out .I explained that the last time I was there my wife stepped in DOG $h!t,I got a Im sorry about that , I asked how come dogs can be inside and out but my Child had to sit out BackI was told it was the ABC law, I call BS. (its not a bar)They accept him in Jullian and they sold me a membership with my 4 year old with me, Of course we accept kidsTasters Beware

Love their wines, some of my favs : Rose Estate ,Pinot Noir-Benign Neglect , and cant wait until Full Fathom Five is released again. Im a wine club member, love the fields of grapevines.

I love all the wines, I have a hard time deciding on my favorite.

Beautiful

Nice place to have some wine and snacks. Great staff.
