An award-winning winery is the home to some outstanding and surprising varietals. One of the best-kept secrets of San Diego County is that the area is among the finest grape-growing areas in the western United States. That’s why Orfila Vineyards and Winery , located in the San Pasqual Valley’s pristine agricultural preserve, is worth a visit. Specializing in Rhone varietals including Merlot, Sangiovese, and Syrah, the winery grows grapes on a 70-acre estate that benefits from cool breezes and fogs from the ocean about 15 miles away. So just 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, you can taste premium wines, tour a winery, and picnic in a classic vineyard setting.
