WINE TASTING AT SAN DIEGO URBAN WINERIES
Wine Tasting at San Diego Urban Wineries is a lot of fun. San Diego Urban Winery tasting rooms are located along the San Diego coastline, in the countryside, and throughout the urban core. Some of the San Diego Urban Wineries source their grapes from local Vineyards. Others source their grapes from Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, Pacific Northwest, and Baja Valle de Guadalupe. All of the San Diego Urban Wineries produce their wines in the city. They offer city dwellers a chance to experience the winery environment without leaving the city boundaries.
We have really enjoyed wine tasting at many of the San Diego Urban Wineries this past year. All of the wineries we have listed below have won numerous awards for their wines. Check them out! We think you will really enjoy Wine Tasting at San Diego Urban Wineries.
