Scenic Valley Ranch Vineyards — Attraction in California

I'm not a wine drinker, I do however become the designated driver to my wife, daughter and friends. On the way to Julian the ladies asked to stop by this winery, the couple (owners) took their time explaining each wine to the ladies, I wasn't too interested for obvious reasons, my interest was the decor and ambiance of the place, almost as if my own back yard was placed in a winery and I was entertaining friends and family. The purchases made between the ladies told me they enjoyed the wine as each picked up multiple bottles and kept saying they had to go back and take other friends with them, I simply want to head back in hopes the owner has his smoker going, he gave me a taste of the brisket he pulled out earlier, he had friends coming later on but my questions about the smoker and brisket probably convinced him to give me a piece, I'm not complaining. I can play designated driver any day if we are heading Scenic Valley...

We visited this winery as part of the Ramona Valley Wine Trails. They have award winning wines and are located right off the main road from Ramona to Julian.

The owner Sheri and her husband were there to serve everyone wines. It's really nice to talk to them personally and learn about their winery. They are the nicest people. They even brought out complimentary chocolates and homemade beautifully decorated sugar cookies to share with their guests as part of the wine...

As you drive from San Diego to Julian, there is no doubt that at least ten wineries will appear along your journey…it’s difficult to decide where to stop. We took a shot at the one with the best reviews and it immediately made sense. We were warmly greeted by Dennis. Everything about our experience was amazing. The wine, the view, the stories and the home-made kettle corn. Just stop by, it will be everything. My group of friends and I plan to head there again for a few special occasions that Dennis told us about…that I promised not to talk about, but if you like BBQ, go there ahead of time and learn...
