Winery with beautiful views up in the mountains,. They are limited to pizza and salads, but the pizza is made outside in a brick oven so its pretty great. Its not super close and its up some smaller windy roads, but if you've got the time its a pretty special place to watch the sunset.

Drinks & Nightlife
O'Sullivans Irish Pub Escondido
118 E Grand AveThis is one of our favorite spots cause its just around the corner from our house. You might even be able to figure out how to sneak in the back chainlink fence and that makes it a short walk. They close at 5pm but its a really nice quiet spot to do a tasting or just sit outside and have a picnic. They don't serve food but you can bring your own if youd like.
