Rancho Guejito Vineyard is a top-notch experience! I recently had the privilege of documenting a epic Wedding Day at Rancho Guejito Vineyard! Let me tell you—this place is nestled in a remote valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains, and the staff is truly ride-or-die! Usually, I lean into the best parts of working at a venue, but here, the staff matches the energy of the heart-stopping ceremony site and outdoor reception area. This place rocks on every level—its beauty, the endless epic photo opportunities, and did I mention the staff? The staff rocks! I worked with Nicole and she is amazing! This venue is unmatched and delivers an unforgettable experience for Brides, a complete winning recipe! Coming from a San Diego native! I love it here, and I’m always happy to refer this incredible venue and staff. They truly show up to the fullest! Brandon Colbert Photography

What a gem! The most beautiful views from anywhere you look and so much to offer! Family days, beautiful wedding and event spaces, grass-fed beef, winery and more. I’ve been coming here since they opened to the public and they are continuing to grow in a meaningful way!

Came here for a Yelp event and had a great time. They had nice seating outside and live music. A lot of free wine to try (with unlimited refills as well) and good food. Tried two of the white wines and they were delicious. Husband had to full glasses of wine and some frose and he felt a good buzz. I'm not even a wine person, but I actually like the taste of these two wines. The beefier is so fresh and authentic. Freshly grilled burgers were top notch. Loaded nachos (same beef from grass-fed cattle from their own farms) were unbelievable! I actually didn't know I would like loaded nachos so much! Hot dogs was lovely as well, Bavarian pretzel with cheese sauce (same cheese sauce that was on the loaded nachos) and veggie burger were all nice. They had a the hayride for the guests around the ranch (Only around part of the ranch because the entire property is over 23 acres) and they had free wine on that as well. They do this hayrides on the weekends as well and all guests at that time get free wine. Owner was on the ride and he told us about the farm and it has some really amazing history. Turns out it's the oldest business in the San Diego county and quite large as well. Learned a good deal about the importance of cows that are pasture raised and grass-fed and given no antibiotics and what not. I really delightful evening overall and a place that we must visit again.

This winery has so much history! It’s kids and pet friendly. Has a large area with picnic tables. Live music when we were there. Restaurant on site. They have their own cattle. They sell and serve their own meat. If you’re a wine club member you can purchase their meats. I had the hot dog and burger. So good! The bar is outside and next door is a small building with one unisex restroom. Otherwise the restroom is outside by the parking lot in the nice bungalows. The parking is lot is on a diet gravel lot but not too far from the entrance. There are many fruit trees like pomelos, lemons, avocados that they only sell to Whole Foods. There are 24 variations of grapes. The best part was the free 30 minute hay ride. You get the history and tour of the property and they serve you free wine on the tour!

Came here on a Sunday with friends. Started with their wine tasting (5 for $18) and enjoyed the live music. Lots of picnic tables around. Hopped on their compliments hay ride with free wine. It was the highlight! We learned about the property, wine making, orchards, and cattle business. Left the winery with a bottle of wine and three starter packs of beef! We like the white wines more than their reds.

Amazing location! We went for the puppet show event as were pleasantly surprised by the vineyards hospitality and beautiful surroundings! They had food that included a pizza oven, pretzels, watermelon, charcuterie, and much more. The event hosted had a super cute puppet show, moon bounce, bubbles, hay ride with guitar player and wine. It was the perfect event and location for parents with little ones. We will 110% return.

10 out of 10 for hospitality, kid friendly, food + wine and atmosphere. We’ve been to a lot of vineyards and this one stood out as so incredibly kid friendly and welcoming, from the tractor hay ride to the bouncy house and large fenced in field, we will definitely make this a regular stop! Thanks for having us, see you again soon!!

Rancho Guejito rocks! What a great find for us, Elites. I've been to the San Pasqual wine trail several times, but we missed this one. They were so nice to us, just really great hosts. We were offered bottomless glasses of wine. They had a real nice rose and a couple of delicious reds. My my my did they put out the food for us. We had live cooks preparing cheese burgers, hot dogs, nachos and a HUGE pretzel. There was so much good. The same food vendor is there on Saturday and Sunday. When was the last time you went on a hayride? We got treated to a tour and a nice narrative by one of the managers. We learned a lot about the history , grounds, and fruit trees. On the hayride, we had music and wine. Pretty cool. This was a really nice event and do happy I got in. This winery is presently open on Saturday and Sunday only. There is not a sign, so you really have to watch for it. Thanks, Audrey and Hannah! Thanks, Rancho Guejito Winery! We'll definitely be back to sample the whole wine list!

Omg, this winery is amazing! & the grounds are beautiful! My hun & I came here on a Saturday to check out their wines & try the food made fresh by Rancho Guejito Beef. Make sure to check their website/Instagram for hours because sometimes they are closed for events or close early for weddings (it closed at 3pm due to a wedding for us). I was so excited to see that they had wine slushies, white sangria & red sangria, along with loads of whites & reds! Everything was tasty, especially the cold drinks during the blistering heatwave. They have a hay ride & I heard that on Sundays, they have a bounce house, perfect for the fam.

I finally had the opportunity to visit this North County gem. I have been following this winery for a while and had a chance to come with a handful of girlfriends. We had a reserved table for our group of 5 girls and it was perfect since it was not too close to the music speakers or too close to other parties. Note that this is all outdoor and no indoor seating. There are a lot of picnic tables scattered with tents but try to call for a reservation if you can. Otherwise you can bring your own chairs and blankets. This place is so chill and love that it is kid friendly. There is a tractor ride you are able to bring your glass and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Lots of property and the event spacing is gorgeous. They will continue building in the next few years with a hotel and onsite restaurant which I'm exciting to see flourish. You are allowed to bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks onsite and enjoy your time in a relaxed setting. There was a cool live band playing old rock hits. There is also a small tent out back where you can buy food and charcuterie boxes. The beef they sell to eat is from their ranch and they also sell beef onsite if interested. The prices are reasonable to buy onsite too! On a Sunday, there was a jumpy with a water slide so there were kids enjoying this while the parents drank. I would recommend bringing your own personal fans if it's hot because it does get super hot in the summer being outdoors. I would like to give a shout out to Hank, Brandon, and Brenda who were amazing during our visit with their personal touches and made our visit such a memorable experience. The sparking rose was my fave and had to take a bottle home. I also got a bottle of the Pinot for my husband. So good. I didn't get a chance to try the frose since it was still making at the time I asked and I totally forgot about it. Bathrooms are located in a trailer out back but they're the nice trailer bathrooms! Parking lot out front and a huge parking lot in back, so they are able to accommodate lots of guests. I recommend checking out this wonderful winery if you haven't. Will be coming back soon!!!

Beautiful property. Visited on a lazy June Saturday afternoon. It was hot! And, the winery offers very fans, ac, options. Their wine wasn't screaming drink me to me so we opted for one of their slushies. We did find one room/area by the restroom with a couch and chairs and decided to sit there. No fun visiting a winery of you are going to sit indoors. Service was ok.

Rancho Guejito Winery is stunning, gorgeous views, great wine, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to spend the afternoon there. The wine selection is pretty solid (I especially enjoyed the 2021 Pinot Noir and 2017 Merlot), and the live music and food trucks add a nice touch to the overall experience. That said, I do have one gripe: the seating situation. There just isn't enough of it. We arrived early but still had trouble finding a place to sit. A lot of people seemed to grab tables and hold onto them for hours, even when they weren't using them, which made it hard for new arrivals to settle in. There's seating around the property, but bringing your own blanket or lawn chairs is highly suggested. Families and dogs are more than welcome here too, which is nice, but also makes it very crowded and busy. Not all dogs or children belong in public, sorry, I said what you've thought. Add adults too! Also, outside food is welcome. A lot of great things, but also not entirely perfect. Still, it's a lovely place and worth a visit. Just come early and maybe bring your own chairs. Also, they offer complimentary hayride tours. We didn't prioritize this, so we'll be sure to do so if we ever return.

I always enjoy coming to RGV. It's a great spot to visit if you're ever in town. A great place to visit with the family and kid-friendly as well. Do yourself a favor and get the wine tasting and hop on the hay ride and enjoy some music with Andrew on the ride. Bring that glass with you as the hay ride has more wine for you to taste. Service from the staff is great. Very welcoming and great with providing recommendations. They do have food available for purchase, but you are also welcome to bring your own food/snacks and drinks for your family.

I highly recommend the Rancho Guejito Vineyward for special events. The vineyard grounds were beautiful and the staff did an excellent job with the event. Tip: If you attend a formal event at the vineyard, I recommend flats or thick heels for walking in the gravel.

So happy we came here again, we introduced it to our friends and they're all in love with it. Our toddlers had an amazing time at the bounce house and water slide. As usual food was good, service was good and the ambiance was perfect. Andrew killed it at the ride he's the best.

A beautiful hidden gem tucked in South Escondido. Drink service is quick and the food is reasonably priced. Tons of parking and lots of tables to sit back and relax. Today there was live music and tons of sun. Such a great spot to enjoy a Sunday. I'll be back soon. Cheers!

Picnic tables, live music, wine ... that's a nice Sunday funday. While visiting friends I mentioned wanting to check out a winery and they suggested this place. They brought their little one who had fun playing with other kids in the bounce house/ waterslide that was set up on the lawn. We enjoyed the covered tables and they had snacks from the food truck with our bottle. I'd like to see some vegan options at the food trucks, but overall a very nice spot with good wine.

We came for Father's Day and it was a lot of fun. They had a live band playing 50's rock, a free hay ride where they told you about their amazing property while you get a few tastings (don't forget your glass), and there were plenty of shade structures and benches to sit under (although, we brought our own chairs and a blanket). Service is great. You can buy by the bottle or glass if you'd like to indulge more. They have a grill and pizza oven turning out great eats. They're not only a winery, but also an orchard and cattle farm (the cattle are far away - no smells). The food they are cooking up is delicious and fresh. This winery is definitely worth stopping at. It's got a little bit of everything going for it. The wines are very nice. I highly recommend the hay ride if you like information/history. All around great place.

Lovely winery to spend a day with family & friends! I had a glass of sangria that was so tasty. Not sure if they switch out food vendors but the day I went they had burgers and they were great! Make sure you check out the hay ride too - they do samples of their most popular wines, sing some tunes and tell you about the property. Super kid friendly as well!

Beautiful vineyard in the San Pasqual Valley. I popped in with a friend for one of their holiday markets and what a treat it was to see so many vendors lining up a large lawn area! I can only imagine how open it is without vendors all over, but the wine, sunshine, and dog friendly space makes this place stand out! There's also a wagon that does tours through the vineyard with live music to show off the size of the property. I have definitely considered a membership here with how gorgeous the space is. There are also spaces for events and weddings, and I can imagine this would be an absolutely stunning venue.

Had an amazing day here during the vendor event. There was a great selection of vendors. I live supporting local businesses, so with over 70 vendors, I was in heaven. Besides, there was a raffle, and each time you purchased, you got another entry to the raffle, which I felt was a great way to promote supporting our local small businesses. There was only one food option, which was a bit pricy but delicious. The fact that you can bring your own food is a huge plus. Dogs were everywhere, which is always a joy. Plus there was a senior dog rescue and I wish I could take all of them home. This was the highlight of my day. There was a free photo booth that was super fun to experiment with. Kids had bounce houses, face painting, and a bunch of other activity options. There was a hay ride which is just so much fun with the personal musician, wine, and meat samples. A band playing in the main area. And just positive vibes all around. Obviously, wine is an option as well. If you get the flight, you keep the glass. What a great souvenir. We had a blast and look forward to coming back.

Fabulous place to come on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The live music was great and a very fun crowd. My 2nd time here. My husband's first. He really enjoyed it and we look forward to coming back. We were lucky to sit at a picnic table in shade close to the band. Lots of lawn space and you can bring your own chairs. You can bring your own food in, but not your own alcohol. They have wine for sale by the glass or bottle. They also have food offerings. It's very kid and dog friendly.

A toast to the New Year! What could be better than wine? A winery review, perhaps. Rancho Guejito opened its doors to the public five years ago.The property is made up of estate grapes and a grass-fed cattle ranch . The 32,000 acre rancho is part of a land grant from Mexico to the United States. The winery and vineyard offer tastings, which can be waived with a wine club membership. The cattle ranch provides for a portion of the food served on- site and they offer a meat program to take home. This has become my new favorite local spot to enjoy on the weekend. What is there not to like? Unique Varietals Wine Club (many benefits) Food On-Site Meat Program (beef variety) Live Music Hayrides (with wine pours) Open Seating Holiday Markets (change with each season) and Pet Friendly! I love their wines, my favorite is the red, Terret Noir. I love their meat, we make baja dogs and pot roasts. And, I love their atmosphere on-site, picnic tables spread out, music in the air and the hayride is sure to be a highlight for all Note: The markets here have an array of quality vendors. The Christmas market example included everything from honey, paint your own ornaments to photos with Santa! Cheers to the New Year! #RanchoGuejito # SanPasqualValley #TerretNoir #BeansandHanks #OnA HayrideTogetherWithYou

It's a lovely property with lots of parking, and space to spread out. There are lots of shady picnic tables to hang out around and enjoy your wine. They are DOG and KID friendly, and usually there is a bouncy house set out front to keep the kiddos occupied. They even offer a super fun hayride tour of the property and vineyards. The service when you get through the (usually short) lines to the bar is super friendly, and how are the wines? Well, wine is a subjective thing, so some I love: like their Sangiovese, and some I hate: like their Rosé. That doesn't mean the rosé isn't wonderful, I just prefer a big red to a sweeter light wine. So you may have to get a couple of different tasting flights to find your favorites. But all their wines are well thought out, good quality, and worth the drive out to find them.

We had such an amazing afternoon here! It was very family friendly which made it enjoyable for the parents to be able to sit and talk and enjoy a glass of wine. There was a bounce house, lawn games, a hay ride, and a water slide bounce house. There was so much attention to detail for the kids- they were spraying the lawn for bees by the water slide and there were towels. On top of that, you can bring your own food in (but the soft pretzels looked tasty). We had the rose and a white wine and enjoyed both. We will most certainly be back!

A a fan of Rancho Guejito Winery and Vineyard. We have been coming here for a few years now with family and friends. The vineyard is located in very scenic and beautiful San Pasqual Valley. Their weekends are always busy with events and live music. The winery is very pet and kid friendly with a laid back vibe. The hayride tour through the vineyards and groves accompanied by live entertainment and unlimited pours (oh yes!) is a huge crowd pleaser, i can't recommend it enough ! There are lots of picnic tables sprinkled throughout the property or many families just bring blankets. Lately i've been enjoying their white wine selection.

It was pretty nice. They have hayrides, wine, food and shopping. I was born here and have never even heard of this place. I will definitely be back. It was too many kids there for me I like peace and quiet but luckily found a spot away from the craziness. I highly recommend this place. I also had the veggie sandwich there which was good. The meat they use in their food in from there own ranch.

Lemme just start off by staying, I never eat hot dogs but the beef hot dogs here made me like hot dogs. We got to try all their food offerings except the veggie burger, this included the cheeseburger, beef dog, nachos and Bavarian pretzel. All the beef is produced on their site and the cows are all grass fed. I was surprised by the quality of the meat and very much enjoyed their ground beef & of course, the beef hot dog. They sell steaks & other assortments of meat in variety boxes however the worked mentioned their beef sells out quite frequently. Anyways, wine is good, easy to drink. I enjoyed the 4 wines we tried but my 2 favorites are the Roussane (white) and a colonnade (red). The hay rides are fun and informative, plus they offer multiple wine refills during the ride.

Great, casual spot for a group. You can bring your own food and the wine was delicious. There is a bounce house for the kids, although maybe they need a water slide bounce house because it was over 100 in there. We discovered the air conditioning in the restroom lobby area, which was life saver.

I had my wedding here on May 13, 2023. Absolutely beautiful! Everything was amazing. But I really wanted to give a shout out to Nicole, the wedding venue coordinator.

Nicole was respectful and friendly, she never made me feel bad about asking so many questions. The wine is great! Tasteful & fairly priced.

Introduced to the Rancho Guejito vineyard about two weeks ago, was so impressed by the ranch raised burger, Bavarian pretzels and wines, had to come back again for another sample. Came as soon as the winery was open and before the crowd came. Wonderful service and friendly staff just like last visit. Great way to spend part of a beautiful Sunday with samples of wine.

The Mrs. and I stopped by Rancho Guejito Vineyard today on our way to Cordiano Winery. They opened at 11 and we were the first customers of the day. The staff behind the tasting bar were friendly and explained how the tasting would work. We took our wine glasses and the wine list and found a place to sit. The grounds are beautiful and the space overall is very family friendly. There is a bounce house for the and live music. Tasting will costs $15 and you can pick five wines from the menu. There are some other options available if you don't want to do a full tasting. The wine list is extensive to say the least. Overall, the Mrs. and I weren't overly impressed with the wine we had with the exception of the Merlot and Syrah.

Stopped by Rancho Guejito after a day at the Safari Park and was super impressed. It was my first time visiting this vineyard and I think it's my new favorite. It feels more laid back then most. I was saying it feels like your hanging out in a friends backyard instead of a formal, stuffy wine tour. They had live music playing so it was pretty packed, the main sitting area is pretty big so there was no issue in finding seating. They have a bunch of yard games spread out for entertainment. We both did separate tastings of red and white wine. It was a really cute day date and we will definitely be back to try out the hayride tour.

We were married at Rancho Guejito on 09/23/2023 and had the most amazing time; it was the perfect venue for our special day! It was the first venue we toured and we immediately fell in love with the property and the amazing views. Nicole was prompt with communication during our year of planning and kept us in the loop regarding venue details leading up to our big day - she's incredible! If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor venue with great views and a customizable layout, Rancho Guejito is the perfect choice!

I can not say enough good things about Rancho Guejito. I was first introduced to this amazing place by my son's nature school, which holds incredible family events here. Not only do we enjoy the winery on a regular basis with their live music, hay rides, jumpy for the kids and mouth watering burgers that come right from the ranch itself, we now also spend Easter here. Then, last year I started feeding my family exclusively from their ranch and purchasing their beef boxes. I feel immense gratitude this 100% grass fed, all natural, beautifully and humanely pasture raised, no hormones, and no antibiotics meat is available because my family's health is one of the most important things in the world to me, and the peace of mind I have that they are consuming the absolute best quality beef there is means everything to me. I was fortunate enough to meet Hank from the ranch who takes hands down the best care of our family and is nothing short of a miracle man. The passion he possesses about the farm and their operation is awe inspiring and the kind of world I hope future generations inherit for decades upon decades to come. Lauren always goes out her way to insure we are receiving the best care and always makes us feel like a priority. She shares our passion for health and feeding our family the best quality beef there is. Izzy always has a smile on her face and even shared with me before working at the ranch she didn't eat beef, but now she absolutely loves it and purchases beef boxes herself regularly! I just wanted to say thank you to Rancho Guejito from the bottom of my heart. With the world ever changing, it's worth it's weight in gold to know some things will remain the same and clean, pure, top of the line, A+ quality beef will be available to the public. I am so grateful for this place and know they are making one of the biggest differences in peoples lives. We are eternally grateful for this place and for ALL of you!!! Thank you for all you do, and thank you for caring so deeply while doing it.

Fantastic choices of wine, yessssssss!!! Tucked away between the mountain slopes of San Pasqual, this winery dates back to 1845 with some pretty insightful background of having been previously owned by Mexico and acquired plus additional territory added on throughout the years. The ranch offers many goods aside from just their grapes/vineyard for their delicious wine, such as avocados, Cuties, and selective steak from their very own cattle on their own land. Seemed absolutely fitting to indulge in their own grass-fed beef (though option of vegan available as well) burgers, loaded nachos, hot dog, and Bavarian pretzel. The Yelp wine party list presented and available was very good. Some wine selections were not offered yet were available should one wish to purchase a bottle. This is the first I encountered Grenache and Mourvèdre existing in SD! This made me extremely happy as I love these and are not commonly found here. Jacob provided us with epically superb service in being extremely accommodating, kind and attentive to our preferences as well as provide options based on our palate choices. The terra noir, as he recommended to chill, was fantastic, and not to forget their Colonnade, wow! I definitely am considering signing up for their wine club, indeed, as I've walked away having purchased 4 bottles of wine. It's safe to say I am a fan and cannot wait to share my preferred options of wine with friends and loved ones as well as return for more! Splendid ambiance with great musicians playing live music, with a beautiful mountain sunset. Perhaps a bit more shaded options would make for a better time during the summer heat, but other than the minor detail, relaxed and cozy venue!

Rancho Guejito Vineyard has a number of strong positives if you want a place within easy driving distance from San Diego for hanging out in a gorgeous natural setting, sipping good wine, listening to music, and enjoying a multigenerational scene. Great place also to take out of town visitors.

We decided to have our Sassy Christmas party here at Rancho Guejito Winery. All the ladies had a great time. They all enjoyed the wine. We all enjoyed the live music and the free hayride through the vineyard.. Definitely coming back again..

Hands down my favorite winery in Southern California. The food is great, wine is great, and the ambiance is beautiful. We love how it's super family/kid friendly. They always have jumpy houses for the kids. I first learned about Rancho Guejito Vineyard after discovering their beef. The ranch sells beef raised from their ranch. The prices are great and the beef is amazing. I stopped buying beef at the super market and buy straight from the source now. The service is amazing. I wanted to change my wine order and the staff was accommodating. If I could give anyone advice on where to start I would say this. 1) Become a wine club member, it's super easy and you can do it online. You'll get free tastings and really good discounts on the beef boxes 2) Order a sampler steak box You won't regret it! The pictures include their wine and Picnic & BBQ Box!!!

We didn't love the wine. However we loved everything else. It was a warm beautiful day and they had plenty of shade above the benches. The grounds are beautiful, there was live music, yummy charcuterie and plenty for the kids to do so that we could enjoy ourselves. The kids (aged 7 and 10) enjoyed playing cornhole, the giant Jenga and the bounce house. The fact that it was kid friendly means I will be back here, a lot! I brought my mother in law here for her birthday and she just kept gushing and gushing about how wonderful the day was.

What a great evening at Rancho Guejito Vineyard. The land is beautiful and you get to see some it in a fun hayride with live music and a glass of wine. Did I mention it is dog friendly! I love when I can bring my dog with us. I will be coming back and recommending others to join us. We had the burgers and some nachos... very good food.
