These are the San Diego area’s best wineries, according to Yelp

SAN DIEGO – California is home to some of the most celebrated wineries in the world — and the San Diego area is no exception.

This week, Yelp published a list of the top 25 places to enjoy wine in San Diego, spotlighting a variety of locales from sprawling vineyards to wineries in urban settings. Of the top 25, most are in North and East County with a number of San Diego hot spots checking in on the list.

Taking the top spot on Yelp’s list is Koi Zen Cellars , located in a business park in the Carmel Mountain Ranch area, east of Interstate 15. Owned by Darius and Lisa Miller, the winery and tasting room has a five-star rating on the review site. Koi Zen’s website shows that they do a little bit of everything, from making their own wines to hosting a membership club that ships throughout the U.S. and hosting tasting events and fundraisers throughout the year.

Second on the list is Chuparosa Vineyards , stylized as chuparosa VINEYARDS, off of San Vicente Road and south of Ramona High School in Ramona. Like Koi Zen, Chuparosa has a five-star Yelp rating with reviewers noting it’s something of a “hidden gem” in the community. See a list of their offerings here .

“Hands down THE BEST wine in Ramona,” one reviewer wrote . “In fact, my husband and I have traveled the world tasting wine and it is some of the best we’ve ever had.”

The third listed is Coomber Craft Wines in Oceanside, which opened in 2019 . The opening came about a decade after a group of investors with owners Skip and Maureen Coomber started a winemaking facility in Santa Barbara, its website shows.

Coomber makes its own wines , hosts a wine club and rents its venue for weddings and other special events.

“Wow!” one reviewer said. “What a great location and the back patio is the coolest spot! We almost didn’t see the patio as we sat down at the bar!”
