7 Wine Tours & Tastings in San Diego That You Shouldn't Miss

June 16, 2021 Hector Krause

San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

Whenever we travel to a new city, we take a city tour to give us the lay of the land. Without a doubt, this tour was the best one we have ever taken. Roxanne did a wonderful job of giving us insight into the city, allowing us the time to explore the highlights and offering suggestions that we should explore. She was very prompt and professional, even reminding us the day before the tour about the specifics of pick up location and time. Outstanding tour!

The rich history of the paintings ( murals ) and explaining the meaning of the paintings and the artists was captivating. I was not bored at all. Tadeau ( tour guide) is like a history book except that I don’t have to do the reading. His knowledge about Tijuana, the places visited , the artists, and what the paintings explains is easy to follow and understand. It was a Mother’s Day well spent since I was alone in San Diego and my children couldn’t come, this day trip was their pick.

Ryan is wonderful!! He was able to plan and coordinate the perfect, personalized day at Valle with a fantastic, reliable driver—Mesac. Mesac took great care of myself and my friends throughout the day. I have recommended Baja Society Tours to all my friends and can’t wait to use them again!

Mario was very knowledgeable in showing us some sights in Tijuana. The mescal, beer and taco tastings were fantastic. I especially enjoyed walking around the markets. I recommend Mario and his tours. I hope to do a wine tour in the future.

Colton was awesome! He chose the wines for us after asking us about our tastes. And he shared an incredible amount of really good info about each wine and the area and history. All while also being really funny and delightful and multi-tasking with others. And the wines were all really good and local too!
