Warm days, cool nights

Northeast of San Diego, the Ramona Valley is a rural landscape of ranches, oaks and boulder-strewn hills. It is a designated wine appellation, home to a collection of small, family-run wineries.

Warm days and cool nights suit Mediterranean varieties, and many wineries offer relaxed patios with views over the valley.
