This hidden gem has a specular view! There were six people in our group. Each of us truly enjoyed the wines. The owners, Kerri and Rusty were welcoming and genuine. Husband and I will definitely go back!

We had an absolutely lovely time visiting Rustic Ridge Vineyards! It’s a gem of a place just a short ride from San Diego. Situated in the foothills and surrounded by gorgeous gardens, it provides a beautiful view overlooking the valley. The “rustic” theme is cozy, and we loved all of the decor - especially all the old Volkswagen Beetles! Kerri, Rusty, and the rest of their team were so welcoming and treated us like old friends. When I made the reservation, I was asked if we were coming for a special occasion. We were going to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and before we arrived, they contacted me to find out my mother’s name. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a birthday sign with her name, balloons, and other birthday decor. It was so special and completely unexpected! Definitely made my mom’s day. We did the wine flight and all of the wines we tried were delicious! We’re from the east coast and only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often!

We loved the visit. Rustic Ridge Vineyard was so cute, a great ambience and beautiful views! They gave great service owners were nice enough to come by check on us and provide best service along with Kate! I loved the detail of putting my friends name on board to wish them a Happy Birthday! That was perfect! We will definitely be back and the wine was very good also! They have a good variety would definitely recommend starting with a Wine Flight Taster. The Zinfandel was my favorite. Thank you for everything!

Rusty and Kerry put on an excellent event, the food was delicious and well presented for the party. The wine flowed and was enjoyed by all. The service was very attentive while not being intrusive---thanks to both of you for making Sherri's 60th a hit(and making it easy on me by taking charge of details)
