Our VINEYARD
Nestled in the rural foothills of Jamul, Hillside Ranch Vineyard is home to just over two acres of carefully tended vines rooted in well-draining granite soils. The combination of bright San Diego sunlight and cool offshore breezes creates ideal conditions for growing grapes that showcase the unique character of East County.
As one of the small family vineyards in Jamul and Dulzura, we focus on four varietals — each chosen for its ability to thrive in our hillside terrain and express the nuances of our region.
Our Estate Varietals:
- Viognier — Floral and expressive, with stone fruit and honeysuckle.
- Sauvignon Blanc — Crisp and bright, marked by citrus and minerality.
- Pinot Noir — Elegant, with notes of red cherry, spice, and soft earth.
- Syrah — Rich and full-bodied, showing dark fruit and pepper.
From soil to bottle, every vine is cultivated with care, precision, and respect for the land. With the addition of our new on-site production facility, we now manage the entire winemaking process right here in Jamul — bringing the story of San Diego’s East County vineyards to life in every bottle.
