Pali Wine Co.

"The charming outpost for the well-regarded Santa Barbara vineyard has an adorable rooftop patio, indoor tables, and a cozy backyard that hosts comedy and trivia nights. Sample from all three of Pali’s three wine brands (Pali Wine, Neighborhood Winery, and Tower 15) that go well with favorites like their butcher board, hummus with spiced lamb, and Holly’s Basque cheesecake." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang

"This Santa Barbara winery opened its San Diego tasting room a few years ago, and the location, just a few blocks removed from the action-packed center of Little Italy, on a slightly quieter stretch of India Street, is the ideal, peaceful perch. Enjoy their wines from their three labels – Pali Wine Co, Tower 15, and Neighborhood Winery. Be sure to pair their wines with dishes like charcuterie boards, gambas al ajillo, or smoked salmon Bennie bowl. A second location is in the works for Hillcrest, this time with a broad patio rather than rooftop seating." - Helen I. Hwang

"Further establishing its presence in San Diego beyond its Little Italy location, Central Coast winery Pali Wine Co. is bringing its first-even full-service restaurant to Hillcrest." - Candice Woo

"The vineyard outpost will serve up a special sparkling tasting flight of five sparkling wines, showcasing traditional champagne methods and ancestral pét nats. There’ll be caviar, oysters, and chocolate-covered strawberries served until 12:30 a.m. along with a DJ set until midnight. Reservations can be made here." - Helen I. Hwang
