The winery makes wine from grapes sourced across California, and the Vista space gives visitors a place to sample its wines without going to the company’s separate Oceanside tasting room. The business lists special events and a wine club, including member tastings and wine-pickup gatherings. This listing is for the Vista venue; the two locations have different addresses and phone numbers.
