In other words, we buy grapes from the country and make wine by the beach. We call it “bringing grapes to the people.”
The Wine
Our award winning wine is made with LOVE & GRATITUDE for all who helped make it happen. From the vintners we’ve been sourcing fruit from for years, to the bottling crew and bar staff, we try to involve as many local, hard-working people as we can. Some bottles are dedicated to various charitable efforts and a portion of proceeds are donated to the cause. We call these our “Pay it Forward” bottles – look out for them on our shop page!
Since we are able to source fruit from all over the West Coast, we offer a unique experience to support local, while still getting to taste exceptional wines from different regions. We strive to provide a space for neighbors to get to know one another and build community. From our Wine Club membership that feels like family, to our community collaborations, we can say without hesitation that wine is better shared with friends!
The Process
Sourcing the best grapes we can find is the first and most important step in our winemaking process; we focus our efforts on the fruit from Northern and Central California. As soon as the grapes are harvested, they are loaded into temperature controlled trucks and are immediately transported to San Diego. We do all wine production (destemming, crushing, fermenting, aging, and bottling) in our urban facility by the beach. Our urban winery, tasting rooms and wine garden are open 7 days a week for you to visit.
