This is a beautiful location in San Diego's rural area. Nice stop on your way to or from the S.D. Wild Animal Park, or for desitination with picnic. This winery has interesting story. Its not Napa or Sonoma but a fun stop for San Diego. More

We moved to the area recently so we decided to try some of the local wineries. Orfila was close by and a beautiful setting. We enjoyed all the wines that we tasted so we joined the wine club. It is nice because we can bring friends and they can wine taste for free too. 4 total. The wine bar is... More

My husband and I were looking for a Sunday afternoon "date" minus our son. This was the perfect spot. We are avid winetasters and it so often happens that the wine is great but there isn't any atmosphere, or the reverse where the place is beautiful but the wines are poor. Orfila is the best of both worlds! The wines... More

My husband and I are members of the winery club. We like the wines, and the location is lovely, we just wish there was a restaurant on the premises. More

On a rainy day we decided to stop at Orfila...we had both are boys with us. The kids had a fun time inside, tons of fun outside when we took our wines and cheeses out there once the weather cleared up. The wines were wonderful. The staff was not super friendly, but the views more than made up for it.... More

Much of their wine is grown, processed, aged and bottled on site. Tastings are $10 and includes 6 samples from over a dozen choices, plus you can keep the glass. Wine by the glass is available for $10. Recently added live music Fri and Sun, afternoons. Nice views. Tours around noon daily. Outside seating for the "bring you lunch" crowd.... More

We came to this winery because it was suggested by the owner of the first winery we visited. It was pouring rain, however my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. They have heat lamp hanging from the ceiling, more than one wine tasting station that provided plenty of room for lots of people. We tasted all of the whites,... More

Fun place-lots of activities for wine club members. Picnics with music, wine, snacks. A little pricey compared to other wineries in the Temecula area. More

A great little winery that we visit all the time after going to the Wild Animal Park (we still call it WAP here in North County SD). Orfila has some great wines to try and a little area off the back where you can buy a bottle and some cheese and enjoy the scenery. On hot days the cold whites... More
