One of the great local wineries located 15 min from our cottage in the San Pasqual Valley. This winery is one of the last privately owned Mexican land grants, has an amazing history and over 23,000 acres of property. They produce organic avocados and citrus and produce some great wines : ) Live music will be returning soon we hope, and it's just an all around cool spot to visit. ( Re-opening soon )
