WORLDWIDE · SAN DIEGO WINE TOURS
A wine trip runs out of afternoons long before it runs out of estates. These 4 san diego wine tours deserve the slot, priced and timed so the choosing takes minutes.
Cruise San Diego Bay from Broadway Pier for about two hours with bottomless champagne and mimosas, a large buffet, chef-attended stations, music, and views of the USS Midway, Coronado Bridge, downtown, and naval landmarks. Smart casual dress, early check-in, and a cell phone are recommended.
“Great experience. Food was pretty good. Our server Mitchel was awesome and kept the bubbles flowing.”
Join Captain Phillip aboard Liberty, a hand-restored reproduction of a 1904 sailboat, for a 2.5-hour San Diego Bay sunset sail. The small group, limited to six passengers, passes the USS Midway, Star of India, Coronado Bridge, and Navy ships. Beer, white wine, soft drinks, water, snacks, and a restroom are included.
“The captain was very accommodating. A genuine person. A lovely sail. Great boat. Everyone was nice. It was sailing the way it should be. Nice conversation. You could hear nature’s sounds because music was not blasting. There was no music at all.”
Spend about 10 hours traveling from San Diego into Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe with a private guide and driver. Visit three wineries, enjoy tastings and a five-course BajaMed lunch at Finca Altozano, and stop at El Mirador for views over Ensenada. Guides such as Mario and Rene are praised for smooth border crossings, local stories, and careful driving.
Start at 8:30 am for a full-day Baja food and wine outing. Ride an air-conditioned van along the Rosarito coast, stop for fish or shrimp tacos, then visit three boutique wineries for 10 to 12 tastings and a tapas lunch at Adobe Guadalupe. Guides may include Oscar, Priscilla, or Ryan.
“Oscar was amazing and got to show us some beautiful wineries. I would’ve loved to see more, if we spent less time at the wineries. Other than that the driver and Oscar were great and the wineries had good wine selections.”
A country, a grape or an afternoon with nothing planned.
