We tasted about 8 wines and had a nice charcuterie board while at it.
The Cave is actually a restaurant as well perhaps if we ever come back to the area we might consider dining there too.

Sunshine Mountain Winery visit
10 января 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
And so on this last incredibly gorgeous sunny afternoon we paid a visit to Sunshine Mountain Winery in San Marcos for some more wine tasting and cheese eating (OK maybe we are not as cheesed out as we thought :))

Situated on the hilltops of North San Diego, the vineyard boasts panoramic views of the city and its own unique soil that creates a perfect blend of California wilderness and European finesse.

Laurie's Sunshine Riesling.
Our Charcuteríe board and my Sunshine Cuvee Red Blend
Panoramic views
Now... of course we climbed all those steps from "way down there" and OF COURSE there is a parking lot right next to the building
Not sure if this is the owner's house but I would not mind living there
Come to think of it I wouldn't mind living in that top-of-the-mountain one either
Fruit trees of lower gaarden: Lemon, Pomegranate, Grapefruit, Avocado & tangerines.
I can't imagine how nice it must be to just go into the orchard every morning and pick a fresh lemon and avo.... YUM!Читать далее
