San Pasqual Valley is now home to another notable winery ~ Cordiano Winery.  Rising high above the valley in Escondido, the expansive views from the outdoor terrace are captivating and stretch for miles.

Cordiano Winery is somewhat understated and has a casual, friendly feel as you walk up the path to the tasting room.  In warm months, the outdoor terrace has several tasting bars and a wood-fired pizza oven. There’s now a gift shop featuring artisan wares and collectibles and construction of a new terrace continues.

While “Squeeze me, crush me, make me wine” is the famous Cordiano Winery mantra,  the big red heart on the wine bottles represents the Cordiano’s love of making great wine and great friends.    Discover this shining jewel in the San Pasqual Valley when wine tasting on the Ramona Wine Trail.  www.cordianowinery.com
