Rustic Ridge Vineyards

We spent a few hours at the winery. The views are amazing. The host was wonderful. And we really enjoyed the wines (got two cases). Cabernet (both of them) was amazing. Paired perfectly with bbq later that day.

Even with the cold rainy weather this is a great place to get away. A cute little gem in the east county mountains. Some great wines to taste, especially the sparkling berry wine. We're already planning another trip to try their other sparkling wines in a few weeks. Also, a nice bonus is the availability for some snack foods.

Relaxed low-key winery with no-stress tastings. Nice view too - you can see all the way to Downtown San Diego! Only drawback is it can get very warm in Jamul. Try to go on a clear, temperate day. Liked the rosé and reds. Didn't try the whites. Will be back.
