Mount Palomar Winery

Great Selection of Reds and Whites.
Shorty's Bistro (RED/WHITE), Cortese and Mount Noir are my personal favorites.

The staff has excellent notes on the wine and some have even partaken in the making. They are always friendly and happy to see us which makes our experience always a pleasure.

With anticipation and excitement was I looking forward to eating hear today. Unfortunately service and food was underwhelming. Hope to have better luck next time.

Beautiful area, delicious wine and food. Live bands, great venue! Lots of parking.

I am a member at Mount Palomar, so not only is this one of my favorite wineries but their restaurant is a great place for brunch. The food has never disappointed!

My friends and I went wine tasting for her birthday, and most of us not being wine drinkers, we went with a Groupon for a flight and charcuterie board for two, it was me and my husband and her and hers.
Only redeeming factor was the server, he was super kind, just stretched thin maybe? It just didn't feel/look busy, was supposed to be only outdoor seating and I could see everyone they were helping, they were often inside. When we arrived, there was a large party inside looking like they were dropping a ton of money and almost done (lots of open wine bottles on the table). Outside there was a party of about 8, and a couple on the patio and then the 4 of us.
We knew we wouldn't be able to sit together from what the Groupon said, but we got to sit near each other so that was fine. We sat down at about 2:30p, ordered maybe 15 in. My board and flight came out around 3:15, and it took about 20 minutes for my friend to get her board and flight. We know we'd be getting things separately since we were "different tables" but our server knew we were together and it felt really awkward for that huge gap of time where I had it and she didn't. There was not enough bread to go with all the items on the board (which was decent but nothing special), so we asked for more, they said it's an additional charge of $2 per loaf (they were about 6 inch demi French breads), but when we got the bill they were $4 each. The board consisted of a few cut up strawberries, handful of grapes, olives, various sliced meats, big pile of large chunks of a hard cheese like parmesan, a spreadable spicy cheese that was tasty, and a smaller pile of smoked gouda and one loaf of bread.
We ended up spending 2 hours in total there, a good chunk of time was also spent waiting for the bill and waiting for it to be picked up and returned to us. I would have loved to get a glass of the wine I enjoyed off of the flight, but it was so long of a wait to get anything that we decided to just call it a day and headed out.

Amazing service! Great wine knowledge from Cole in the tasting room and Andy in event planning. Arrived just at sunset beautiful vineyards and really great wine.

Had a great Sunday afternoon with the wifey up here. John the bartender served up a friendly and informative flight of wine varietals. Dog friendly with live music and good food. We will definitely be back

What a gorgeous winery and location! We had lunch on the terrace and walked around the gardens. A bottle of sparkling wine and the meat and cheese board went down real smooth in the afternoon sun. Pro tip: there were two of us so we got the meat and cheese board plus a sandwich. The board was more than enough food for two.

Wow. Food was great but customer service was even better. Each and every person we came in contact with was so amazing. Bethany and Riley the hostesses were so sweet, friendly and helpful. Love the interaction with them. Alec was our server along with Nick. They were so great to talk to and they all made us feel like old friends. Cesar the chef came by and was so helpful.
Also, the atmosphere was very enjoyable. There was great music and had people dancing. The layout is such with a lot of people it did not feel crowded.
We will be back. Thank you staff, you guys are our new family.
