We spent the afternoon wine tasting in the foothills of Ramona, CA and chose this winery. Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery is seated perfectly in the foothills with incredible views and plenty of outdoor seating. Hillary started us off with '22 Chardonnay Paso Robles AVA that was perfect! For the reds we chose a '20 Estate Tannat, the '22 Montepulciano, the '21 Merlot, and two bottles of the 10 year French Oak Barrels Indulge. We chose to share the tasting (full disclosure, I did much of the tasting) and we went down their list of white and reds. I'm a white lover generally , but these reds were SO good that we chose five of them along with the white. Teri, the owner, is an incredible host and made the wine tasting experience very satisfying and relaxing. Take Hwy 78 towards Julian and you'll find it on the left! Cheers! read more

Nice staff at this winery. We've been here multiple times. The latest time was for the Ramona Valley Wine Trails. This winery is located on the eastern side of Ramona with an expansive view of the road off in the distance and the surrounding area. I like their Tannat. I drink mostly reds so that's what I tried for my wine tastings. The others were ok. read more

8 days later I am back this time with a friend. This time we tried their savignon blanch, sagiovese, tuscan blend, montepe and sweet red wine. All tated great but star of the show was Montepuliciano. Our host was wonderful, Kendra was geat! read more

Situated on a hill with a lovely view over the valley. The parking lot is not the greatest and outdoor appearance does not give the best first impression. The tasting room was a surprise with its chandeliers and piano! On Saturday and Sundays they have live music. Tasting fee is $12.50 for 5 wines. Owner popped in to say hello to some wine club members. The wines were pleasant and made in small batch. So if you really like one, buy a few as it may not be there your next visit. Our wine server was very friendly. They don't offer any food and I am not sure if they allow you to carry in. Wine club is free to join and wines are quarterly. read more

Came to this vineyard with my company after volunteering we did in the area. The rose and Tuscan red were delicious. Bought a bottle to bring home. Lovely area and the owner was soooo nice! Would love to come back and enjoy more time there the patio was gorgeous with amazing views. read more

An amazing family owned winery. The tasting room and patio is perfect to enjoy a glass of wine or do a tasting. The views are beautiful and very relaxing. I did a tasting of their whites/reds and all of them were very good. I am picky about my reds and we enjoyed all of them. Kim is very knowledgeable about the wines and was a wealth of information. We really enjoyed our experience here read more

We hit this place on a perfect day when rain was expected and it turned out to be sunny skies. Fantastic music. Two wonderful guitarists. The wines were wonderful and unexpectedly good. They have special wines that we really appreciated. CHEERS to the vintner! . Took a few bottles home to share. Lovely stop and think it is quite special. Will be back. read more

I had been trying to get to Ramona Ranch Winery for some time. A friend has a membership there and had invited me a few times, but it is a long drive from my home. Last weekend I made it out there on a rather rainy day right after visiting the camel farm nearby. It turned out to be quite the great day to stop by, as they were having a birds of prey presentation and we got to meet a hawk and a couple of owls, even though we arrived at the very end of the presentation. We went into the tasting room, and I found that they have a large menu of wines varieties that I enjoy. I had a glass of the Super Tuscan which was amazing, and my friend had a glass of the Sangiovese that was very good as well. Anyway, we enjoyed spending time with friends on the back patio until the rain changed our plans. A small band started playing inside, and they had a Brazilian food truck in the back. We left to go somewhere we could have lunch indoors, but I had a good time there. I look forward to returning on a sunny day. read more

First time visiting and had a nice experience. They have a small inside tasting bar, but large patio with beautiful views across the Ramona hills and valleys. They're in the process of building a new, larger tasting room and wine facility, which looks to be promising. The afternoon we were there, they had live music, which certainly added to the atmosphere. WINES: Kim poured for us and was such a gracious hostess. We tasted 3 whites ('20 Sauvignon Blanc, '20 Viognier, and '20 Chardonnay) as well as 5 reds ('17 Whatever! Blend, '13 Petite Sirah, Reserve Super Tuscan, '17 Reserve Sangiovese Estate, and '17 Reserve Tannat). Our favorites were the Petite Sirah, and the Tannat which I haven't found anywhere else in SoCal. We love Tannat and I felt this one was middle of the road. Honestly, the wines were not really our style, however as I always say, wine tasting is subjective. Based on the size of the crowd and everyone seemed to be loving their wines, I would say to stop in and try for yourself. According to their website, Ramona Ranch is San Diego County's only certified Sustainable Vineyard and Winery. They serve a variety of interesting whites and reds, as well as tasty Sangria during the summer. They're pet and picnic friendly. read more

Thank you, Ramona Ranch! What a fun time listening to Medium High and drinking wine! It's super family and dog friendly! What a gem! The views from here are phenomenal, and the wine is very good! I'm not a white fan, but I drank those, too! I wish they had snacks, but you can order something delivered or make a picnic. Lots of shade and tables for you to eat and relax. The tasting room has some seating as well, and it's nice and cool. This winery is the place you hang on your tasting day, especially if there's live music. read more

As much as we intended to just enjoy wine tasting here, but not buy from this cute, off-the-beaten-path winery, it was the final tasting, the Reserve Port, that swayed my resolve. I get weak knee-deep over such indulgences. Indeed, Mr. B and I now have one more bottle to find space for until we acquire some extraordinary chocolate, so as to not waste a perfect opportunity to roll our eyes in pure ecstasy. Good Port and Dark Chocolate: Food of the Gods. read more

Great lil place for wine tasting and entertainment ( that day). There was this couple that played a violin and the other played a guitar. They had their lil dog who sang also. Great evening read more

We had won a tour/wine tasting/charcuterie plate for 4 in an online auction. Teri, the owner of the winery, spent more than 2 1/2 hours with us, giving us a detailed tour and handing the wine tasting and answering all our dumb questions. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. The tour was very interesting, and the wine was very good, and we had a great time. We did the tasting at a table in the room with all the barrels, but they have a very nice tasting room, as well as a nice outdoor seating area with great long range views of the Ramona coutryside. We also got introduced to many of the winery animals, including the miniature horses Thelma and Louise, and the pigs Carnitas and Carmalita. All in all, we had a great time and I highly recommend that you give them a try! read more

This place is exactly what you would hope for from a small town winery. The view was stunning, the wines were amazing and the vibe was an 11/10. Alejandro took care of our rowdy group of 10 with an ease and comfortability I've never experienced in your run of the mill bar in Los Angeles. It was a magical addition to our celebratory weekend. Wish I lived closer so I could attend more events! They really make you feel like a local. You won't regret your visit! read more

I love this cute hidden gem. I stopped here on the way to Julian and the wine was super good and it was dog friendly. It has sweeping views and a great outdoor area. It was super hot the day I went (close to 90) but they had plenty of umbrellas and there was a breeze. They have great wine too! I came home with two bottles. My only gripe is there is very little parking. I found a spot so I am not going to mark off points for that. :) read more

Great wine, beautiful location and wonderful people. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and they were a little busy but extremely welcoming and accommodating. Ashley was outstanding, very knowledgeable and friendly, I was shocked by the quality of the wine, my very favorite was the Aglianico, a rare Italian grape that they work to perfection. Tory the owner came and personally greeted my, how wonderful is that. I sincerely can't wait to come back and highly recommend this place!. read more

Great patio area for wine tasting with beautiful views of the Ramona Valley and their estate vineyard. Also, there's not a fixed tasting flight so you can try almost any wine on the menu and pay per taste, which I liked. Their Sangiovese is honestly one of the best I have had in the area.

Great outing to do with friends or out of town visitors. Went today as a bay Area person with extended family (3 generations) and really loved it. The beautiful scenery of the canyon lands, great music, a terrific play space for youngsters, some fun food, and wonderful wine. Then we did the slow tractor pull through vineyard with the spectacular surroundings along with some guitar and singing (for those who wanted) and wine (for those who wanted). Just a nice way to be in a beautiful space with loved ones and enjoy the good things together. read more

Good wines in a not so typical atmosphere! Down to earth and ranch minded vibe. Nice views of nearby mountains too. Very hospitable. The Super Tuscany was divine! read more

Set in the hills just east of the town of Ramona, this spot is only an hour from the coast. The property is beautiful; with the vineyards, granite boulders, trees, and pretty landscaping around the tasting patio done by the owners Teri & Micole. And, they have misters for those hot summer afternoons. The couple are super approachable, knowledgeable, and just may sit and have a glass and conversation with you! They are pet friendly (on a leash), too! Oh, the wines? For something a little different, try their Viognier, and their Wild Rose rosé. If it's scorching out - get a spritzer. Super refreshing!! read more

Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery - Wild Rose - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Ramona, California

Took 3 girlfriends and myself on a VIP tour of the winery and vineyards with Teri the owner. We found out it was the only designated sustainable winery in San Diego County. Teri was a wealth of information on growing all the grapes and the wine process. who provided background of each wine we tasted. We also learned about wine pairings. I'm so impressed I'm joining the wine club today. They host several wine events, member trips, music on the patio and other fun things. Perfect for a day trip or special celebration. If you get a chance take the VIP tour. The wines are superb! read more

Charming little location with music and friendly, welcoming staff. Their wine is very good! Please don't buy the Tannat if you go; I love it so much and I'm going to be devastated if a day comes that they don't have it available for me. read more

This is a very beautiful location located in the Ramona Valley. When we arrived we were politely greeted and asked what we would like. Tastes ran three for $6 or five for $10. Super reasonable in my very humble opinion. The wine was good. I enjoyed both the reds and the whites. I was a fan of the Super Tuscan as it was great for the day. Go reds! There was ample seating outside and a nice view as well. Overall, I would recommend this location for a nice place to have some wine and hang out with friends. If you like doing both at a great price, this is the place. read more

I've been here a couple times but I don't drink wine so I can't give a full review ... but my friends like their wine and I know they have won many awards. All the host/hostesses here are friendly and the views are beautiful. And the fact that this winery is close to town makes this a convenient location as well. I did go once by myself to see a "living with coyotes" presentation given by the director of the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona. It was an excellent presentation and the employees didn't give me the stink-eye for just drinking water :) read more

Wonderful location, beautiful views of Ramona. I decided to go for a drive this afternoon and stopped by, you can't miss the signs. This winery is full of tables and seats shaded and well placed together. I stopped by for the 5 for $10 tastings and ofcourse a full glass for the road. Bring your own cheese and meats and you will be so happy you did! I can't wait to return now that I know what to expect. :) read more

Love, love this place! Not only is the wine exceptional, but also the ambiance is delightful. There is a row of long farm tables lined up down the center of the covered terrace, and high and low tables with seating fill the rest of the space. There's an outdoor wood-burning fireplace for chilly afternoons and early evenings. And there's a cluster of seating on the grass for an intimate gathering away from the crowd. The staff is knowledgeable about the wines on the menu and, if you're a regular or wine club member, they pay attention to your particular favorites. Most weekends you get to meet the purveyors - Micole, winemaker, and Teri, partner and co-owner. Both are personable and eagerly answer questions about the Ramona Valley winegrowing region. Many a weekend they have live music playing in the background, a local cheesemonger, or some other fun pairing to try. Or bring a picnic or charcuterie board and make it an afternoon. read more

Ramona Ranch is one of the most welcoming wineries in Ramona. It has a stunning view that allows you to imagine you are in the South of France or on the Western slopes of Italian grape country. This is a comfortable winery in all seasons; it has outdoor seating with fire places and portable heating. The quiet and serenity is a perfect complement to excellence of the wines at Ramona Ranch. All in all, one of the top wineries in Ramona! read more

Amazing winery that I will be returning to! The owners are so proud to tell visitors about the business and how far they have come. The most impressive part is that all if the Ramona winery owners work so well together. Couldn't be more impressed with the superior service! Will be back for sure! $10 tasting! read more

Not only is the winery beautiful, the girl running the winery is one of the kindest people I've met! My family and I (wife and 2 kids 3 and 1 yrs old) were headed to Julian when our car broke down on the 78. If you've ever broken down on the 78, you know it can be scary especially with 2 young kids. We spied the winery down the street a little and decided to walk to it to get the kids to a safer spot. We were welcomed with glasses of water and altogether sweetness! The kids were entertained by the animals at the barn (2 horses, a miniature cow, chickens, and goats). In the middle of a stressful situation, this winery was a slice of peace, kindness and generosity! My wife and I look forward coming back without the kids and under better circumstances! read more

I came here over the weekend by accident actually! I was heading to another winery and put the wrong address in my map, but we ended up here and my friend and I were happy we did! There was a private party going on, so we weren't sure we were allowed (there was an art event happening at various wineries) but we went up, ordered a glass of wine, and relaxed on their patio! I have their sauvignon blanc and really enjoyed it. It was very light and easy to drink! I will come back for sure when I'm up in the area again! The owners seemed very nice, if there wasn't the party going on, it would have been nice to chat with them! read more

Teri and Mike are an amazing couple who not only make wine but lovingly care for their animals and customers. My kids loved visiting with Thelma and Louise, TBone and the goat(I forgot her name) while we enjoyed their yummy wine which is made with some serious wine making talent! Their tasting patio is beautiful and serene and everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. We came to Ramona because of an article my 8 year old daughter read in a magazine and we were not disappointed! We will def be back again! It was the perfect spot! Thank you again Teri and Mike for the special visit with Thelma and Louise! read more

We visited this quaint and lovely winery for the first time last weekend and enjoyed our experience with Teri (she is the assistant winemaker). The tasting room is small and fits six people comfortably. They allow you to choice between three different types of tastings. My wife and I decided on the all red wine tasting for $12. There are two reds that we really enjoyed, their syrah and Sangiovese. The syrah red had a hint of smoke that made us all crave ribs. We bought a bottle since there is only three cases left of the syrah. There is a fire place outside that overlooks the 76 highway, with chairs to enjoy the view. We plan to return read more
