LA FLEUR’S WINERY GRAND OPENING
La Fleur’s Winery Grand Opening on Saturday May 19 was a lot of fun. Free wine tastings and tours were available for the Grand Opening. Typically the wine tastings at La Fleur’s Winery are $10 for 4 tastings or $15 for 7 tastings. They also had Sangria available to taste.
La Fleur’s Winery is an Urban Winery that brings grapes to the city where they handcraft their wine with love and care. Their grapes are sourced from California Vineyards and their Estate Vineyard in fertile Hidden Valley, Escondido. La Fleur’s Winery Vineyards were established in 2014. The owners Dave and Dana and daughter Kayla brought together two passions, award winning winemaking and philanthropy. For every bottle or glass of wine sold, a portion of the sale is donated to local charities.
La Fleur’s Winery first started growing Petite Sirah grapes, then Zinfandel grapes, and now they also grow Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in their Vineyards. Their motto is, good wine, good people, and desire to give back to community.
We really enjoyed the wine tasting at La Fleur’s Winery. We tasted the 2015 High Hopes Cabernet Sauvignon, 2015 Zinfandel, 2015 Petit Verdot, 2016 “Little Joe” Petite Sirah, and their Sangria. Our favorite was the Petite Sirah and we bought a bottle to enjoy at home. The Tasting Room at La Fleur’s Winery has a nice ambiance with comfortable seating and is pet friendly. The Tasting Room is open Thurs-2-6pm, Fri-5-9pm, Sat-2-6pm, and Sun-noon-4pm. A Wine Club is available for those interested. Happy Hour is every Thursday with $3.00 off glasses of wine and $5.00 off bottles of wine.
La Fleur’s Winery Grand Opening was a great way to spend a weekend afternoon. We really enjoyed tasting their wines and look forward to returning.
Cheers!
