WINE TASTING AT ORFILA VINEYARDS & WINERY
Wine Tasting at Orfila Vineyards & Winery was a fun Sunday on a beautiful sunny San Diego afternoon. Orfila Vineyards & Winery is located in the picturesque area of San Pasqual Valley in Escondido.
The Tasting Room at Orfila Vineyards & Winery is open daily from 11 am-7:00 pm. The wine tastings cost $15 for 6 tastings of your choice from their Sparkling Wine, White Wine, Rose Wine, Dessert Wine, and Red Wine list. A 30 minute complimentary tour is provided every day at noon. Guests can learn about the winemaking process from the Vineyards to the Cellars. Private tours are available as well and must be reserved in advance.
We chose the Red Wines for our wine tasting at Orfila Vineyards & Winery. Our wine tasting included the 2016 Pinot Noir, 2016 Sangiovese, 2016 Tempranillo, 2015 Merlot, 2016 Zinfandel, and 2016 Syrah. Our favorites were the Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, and the Syrah. We bought a bottle of the 2016 Tempranillo to enjoy again at home. Orfila Vineyards & Winery is pet friendly as long as your dog is on a leash. Several guests were observed sipping their wine, listening to music, and enjoying the fabulous view with their dogs at their side. A Wine Club is available if interested. Orfila Vineyards & Winery also hosts many special events each month.
We really enjoyed Wine Tasting at Orfila Vineyards & Winery and look forward to returning soon.
Cheers!

DID YOU KNOW??
- Red wines are made using the grape skins, other parts of the grape, and the juice
- White wines are only made from the juice of the grapes
- Majority of white wines are lighter, crisper and more citrusy flavor compared to red wines
- Sometimes I prefer to take baths…since it is hard to drink wine in the shower
- A meal without wine… is called breakfast!
