WINE WEDNESDAY AT CARRUTH CELLARS URBAN WINERY
Wine Wednesday at Carruth Cellars Urban Winery Wine Garden in Little Italy was a fun experience. Carruth Cellars is an urban winery that specializes in California style wines. They source their grapes from premium vineyards in Northern and Central California. Carruth Cellars Urban Winery brings grapes from the country and makes wine in the city. All production of Carruth Cellars wines is done in their San Diego urban facilities.
We did our wine tasting at Carruth Cellars NEW Little Italy Wine Garden. Carruth Cellars Urban Winery also has tasting rooms in Carlsbad and Solana Beach. The Wine Garden in Little Italy has a beautiful garden patio that is pet friendly. The wine tasting flights cost $15 for 5 wines. Three different flights are offered; Mix Master, Bordeaux, and Smooth & Silky. They have white, rose, blends, red, dessert, and award winning wines available. In addition, they offer wine and cheese pairings as well as charcuterie platters. Yvonne assisted us during our wine tasting and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. She also gave us a bonus Cabernet Sauvignon and a Unicorn Malbec blend to taste. Our favorites were the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Unicorn Malbec blend. A Wine Club is available if interested. Special events such as their Annual Barrel Tasting Party and others are listed on their website.
We used our San Diego Urban Wineries Passport (SDUW). The SDUW Passport costs $35. This VIP passport provides free wine tasting at 11 participating San Diego Urban Wineries, provides quarterly updates, and discounts on special events.
