On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings they have live music and wine on their terrace. They also bring in local food trucks. The Saturday evening we were there had a local singer/guitarist who was so good that no one was leaving. There were families with young kids playing on the large lawn area, tables with couples and friends looking out over the vineyards, and the wine (we bought a glass after a quick wine tasting) was delicious. We came from cold and snow that morning - thought we had gone to heaven!

The last of the wineries we found was Orfila. Interestingly, the vineyards were once the vineyards to San Pasqual winery and that the land is heritage site. The vineyards are some of the older vineyards of Southern California. We started the tour by walking the land and seeing the vineyards with nicely ripening grapes. We were also served their tasty southern Rhine style rose. We then walking into the winery. This is a much larger winery than many of the San Diego area wineries. After the tour we tasted some very good wine with our tour guide. Orfilas pinot noir is very good and nationally recognized. We also like many of their other wines, if a wine tour of San Diego is on your radar, you shouldn't miss Orfila.

For the past couple years my husband and I have been members at Orfila Winery. On our trips to Napa/Sonoma, we judged the wine based on how we felt it compared to Orfila wines, and it often paled in comparison! The views, the wine, and the staff are wonderful, especially Tom and Doug!

My wife and I recently visited during our honeymoon. This place has great wine, a nice location, and the staff is very friendly. A special thanks to Doug for the tour!! Definitely check this place out.

The last time I was in Escondido (to visit my grandparents) was the year Orfila was established. Went back for a little nostalgia and had a very pleasant experience at the winery. A beautiful view of the vineyards to look at while enjoying the samples; we had a 1/2 case shipped home and have reordered since as they offer delicious wines at reasonable pricing. I hope I don't have to wait another 40 years to return!

We had a nice time tasting here. We bought our tickets inside and found chairs for a table on the patio. The wines are nice, I liked the Cab. I met some nice people with their well behaved dogs. We brought cheese and crackers but they are adamant about buying theirs or leaving the patio with music and losing your seat. Our friends got 2 for one tasting coupons online. There was also a painting class that was fun to watch.

First, let me say that the winery is "just down the hill" from where I live.. I lived here for over 28 years, and during that time I have seen this winery change hands several times. You will find that most wineries in California do, mainly because they are family owned, and when the Older members pass away the remaining families may now want to be in the wine industry. I have noticed also, that with every passing of the winery there is either improvement or failure. Orfila has definitely improved each time, both in location and wine quality. It's almost like a spa now. entering the mature grounds you immediately feel calm and content. The view of San Pasquale valley from the covered table area helps with this. Romance? There is plenty to go around. The award winning wines (if you did not read my other wine report you know... wine is subjective) are great, the best for me is their "MUSCAT CANNELLI" . persistently year after year. Unlike other wineries in the area, Orfila marketing has been very good coming up with ideas to draw people in, the latest being TRIVIA NIGHT where the game of trivia is played by teams. Wine, of course, is available through Orfila only (law restriction) and you can bring anything from outside to eat. Want to try something different, want to have a bunch of fun with your friends, then come and join us on TRIVIA NIGHT. Which brings me to the downside of this place . . . come on now . . . there is always a down side but not many people will tell you about it. To me, this place screams for Italian food. Some wineries I have been to are family owned and runned. The matriarch usually puts together an italian heavy duty snack menu. Old, true italian, family recipes. The other downside, which is my cheapskate opinion only. is the pricing. For me, retired, living on a limited Bla-Bla-Bla it would be nice if ,not only this winery, but others as well, made a less expensive bottle of wine for us. Understand thought, this is not to say Orfila wines are not worth the price charged, because they are. BOTTOM LINE: Go to this place, enjoy their wines (I guarantee you will find something that you will like) and the atmospere and scenery.

Small to medium sized tasting room with party resources. There was a wedding happening the afternoon we were there. Relaxed atmosphere and certainly not a pressured environment. Wines were good BBC utility for my palate not great.

We have lived in the area of this winery for many years. We have seen the progression of owners and each owners' improvement to the facilities. It has always been a "positive" improvement by all. I would like to add that my wife and I are avid wine people. We have visited wineries all over the world, so when we say this is one of the best wineries, we are not exaggerating. Those of us that know judging a winery is more than just judging their product. The facilities. staff, and location play a very big part in the "mystique" of any winery.It has become a great place for quiet contentment. Their facilities cater to both families and individuals, with an outstanding, romantic view of San Pasqual Valley . The staff is helpful, educated in the art of wine, and charming. Their line of wines . . . I can honestly say I am sure you will find something that you will like. They are an award winning winery.It is truly like visiting with friends. Do not let this get away from you. It is a well kept secret in Escondido.
