Venture to Charlie & Echo, where uniquely flavored sparkling and original wines are bottled in a small intimate space nestled within the Miralani Makers’ District. Arouse the curiosity of your taste buds with each wine created to reflect the true origin of its locally sourced grapes. Enjoy a glass, a flight or a bottle of creativity while chilling out. The perfect spot to kick off or wind down after a night out.
Carruth Cellars, the largest urban winery in San Diego, sources quality grapes from premium vineyards in California and Oregon, transports them in temperature-controlled trucks and produces award-winning wines. Stroll into Carruth’s Little Italy Wine Garden and feast your eyes on a long copper bar and an intimate lounge. A massive garden with trees and lights awaits outside furnished with various wood and marble communal tables. Awaken your palate with a red or white wine flight paired with a savory charcuterie board in a very chic locale.
Gianni Buonomo Vintners, the only fully-functioning beach winery, sources superpremium grapes from vineyards predominately in Washington State and California. The fruit is transported in temperaturecontrolled trucks, then brought to the beach to vinify, barrel, blend, bottle and serve in a line-up of truly exceptional, award-winning wines. This is the only winery in the US that produces both Charbono and Blaufrankisch. Gianni’s reds are aged two years in French Oak plus an additional year in the bottle and are winning awards on the international wine stage. Sojourn where the beach meets elegance.
Koi Zen Cellars, a craft winery and winemaking facility, produces local and international awardwinning wines using quality fruit sourced from Central and Northern California which is crushed, fermented, barreled and aged on site. This hidden gem, tucked away in Carmel Mountain Ranch, was voted San Diego’s BEST Local Winery in 2017 & 2018. The winery features a tasting room complete with a Koi Zen pond, couches and padded chairs. Uncork, “sip” back and relax while enjoying a delightful glass of red, white or dessert wine.
