Vinya: vino + vinyasa — Restaurant in San Diego

I haven't been coming to Vinya for dining or as a community space, but rather for the yoga classes. I should say, however, that they host events and provide space for multiple Meetup groups, and that is fantastic to see. There's lots of room and parking, two things that are to be treasured!

Mostly, I've been doing brunch time yoga here once a week for the past few months since moving to the area. The space is open, clean, welcoming, and big enough for everyone. I love that the yoga space is not heated, because hot yoga can be overwhelming for many folks. They have all of the straps, bolsters, and blocks that you could want, and they even provide cushy and supportive blankets that are in all sorts of fun and colorful prints. The teachers are very kind and helpful and offer many options if a certain pose is not accessible to you. They build on sequences and then put them all together for a flow that is as challenging as you want it to be. No two classes are the same sequence, but I can definitely feel myself improving over time.

There are so many classes, as well. Some yoga studios offer classes at tough times to make, or they are always full. At Vinya, there are classes morning, afternoon, and night. I don't necessarily want to give away Clairemont's nice little secret, but.... This is a community space/yoga studio that I really like, especially as a relative newcomer to the area. I'd like to see more people come, and I encourage you, dear reader, to go. Take a...

My husband and I live in Clairemont and have been anxiously waiting for Vinya to open! We are so happy they finally did! In fact, we went there 3 times the first week lol! Vinya is definitely our new local, regular hangout. The owners Victoria and Patrick are very personable, as well.

First of all, their place is huge! They have a private large yoga studio on one side and the other side is the bar and tons of tables. My girlfriends and I tried their party yoga on a Friday night, which was fun! You don’t need to be a Yogie to enjoy Vinya though! We typically just head to the bar….

Their wine is delicious! They also have good deals with the wine club and buying bottles to take home. Gerson is their Sommelier and he’s awesome! He’s very knowledgeable about wine and picks some really delicious, unique bottles. I love their Malbec! For the non wine-lovers, they also serve beers on tap from local breweries we love like hopnonomous…..

The food is also amazing! It’s a small menu, but everything is top notch! Chef Joseph Weber’s food is on point! We have loved everything we tr you Ed including the cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Burrata/beets, brie,...

We did a ladies night here as we'd never been and wanted to explore. It is in the same building that Beverlys used to be, and they updated it so nicely!

It is a Yoga studio that also offers a casual hang out space, food, and wines. They have a lot of tables, including tables for larger groups. You can also sit at the bar.

They have a yoga studio which the owner let us peek into and it is such a calming space.

There is also a small shop/gear area to purchase yoga gear or home decor.

Finally, they have a game cabinet!! We only discovered this on our way out, but if it's open for use I think it'd be a great space to play games!

We mostly went to socialize, so we tried a few wines, a charcuterie board, and their Yukon gold plate. The food was delicious. I only drank ice tea so cannot comment on the wines, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.

I was disappointed that there are no refills on the tea. That struck me as odd since it isn't like individual cans or anything like that. I wound up drinking 3, so was surprised to see 3 tea charges lol. Next time I'll probably stick to water.

Parking was super easy, lots of space. Bathrooms were nicely...
