We invite you to pack a picnic, grab a friend and enjoy our hand-crafted wines on our view patio, with live music every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Leashed pets and picnics are always welcome!

All wines served are hand-made here at Ramona Ranch. Whites are aged in stainless, occasionally with an oak influence, while our Reds are aged individually in a rotating selection of Oak Barrels from American, France and Hungary. Our grapes are either grown on premises, called Estate, from the Ramona American Viticulture Area (AVA) vineyards, or occasionally from greater San Diego County and/or SoCal. Since we’re small, our selection of wines may vary from below.

White Wines

Sauvignon Blanc

Aromas of citrus, particularly grapefruit, and a light grassy note, the flavors of this wine start with a faint hint of peach, leading to warm  well balanced orange and tropical flavors with a bright finish.

Albariño

Inspired by our 2019 Portugal Wineclub Trip.  Enjoy the citrus aroma with some grapefruit and lemon blossom scents.  Pear tones dominate in the tasting with a hint of peach on the finish.   Nice crisp wine with a delicate finish, and balance.

Viognier

In spite of its delicate aromas of peach, apricot, and popcorn, this off-dry wine packs a punch. It is a rich full-bodied wine with flavors of peach, honeydew melon and toast. Because of its low acidity, it is a perfect pairing companion with anything involving lemon, such as shrimp scampi, chicken piccata, or even lobster dipped in lemon.

Red & Reserve Wines

Grenache

A light fruity wine with herbal and tobacco notes on the nose, this easy to drink wine was released young to highlight its fresh berry aromas and flavor. On the palate, ripe strawberry, raspberry and cherry create a smooth enjoyable wine.

Super Tuscan

This warm inviting wine is a perfect companion for an elegant Italian feast. On the nose, this wine presents rich black fruit and warm spice aromas. A fruit-forward wine with initial flavors of strawberries, cherries and black fruit gives way to lingering notes of cinnamon, cedar and a hint of coffee. Pair with a bruschetta w/ roasted garlic and tomatoes.

Aglianico

A deep rich full-bodied wine that greets you with the aromas of black cherry and smoke, hints of brown sugar and vanilla.  Rich ripe flavors of black cherries and black plum coat the palate initially, while the bourbon barrel softens the finish with flavors of brown sugar, caramel and vanilla.

Rosè, Desserts & Port

Wild Rose (Rosè of Sangiovese)                            

Beautiful aromas of fresh strawberries and red fruits. Crisp and clear with a creamy mouth feel, this wine provides gentle complexity, blending flavors of strawberries and raspberries to a smooth lingering finish.

Tawny Port

Reserve, Indulge 10-year Tawny Port     $45/$36 WC

Aromas of brown sugar, caramel and dark fruit. Deep rich flavors of brown sugar, chocolate, with a hint of vanilla on the finish. Sunset International Wine Competition Silver Medal
