Here in San Diego, we love to celebrate just about anything: ComicCon celebrates movies, comics and science fiction; BRO-AM Beach Fest celebrates community through surf contests and a killer free concert at the beach; and this week we’re celebrating the numerous Urban Wineries in San Diego during San Diego Urban Wine Week. If you haven’t heard the term before – an Urban Winery is a winery where they make wine, but not where they grow the grapes. Many Urban Wineries have wonderful tasting rooms where you can enjoy tastings, and our San Diego Urban Wineries can be found in cute little beach towns, tucked away in the countryside and within the heart of the thriving city. If you are interested in exploring some of San Diego’s fantastic Urban Wineries (and we highly recommend that you do – it’s an experience you’ll never forget), join us on…

Are you in the RED or in the BLACK? Every year, at about this time, I hear a sizeable, collaborative groan from the general populous regarding Tax Time.

And if a refund isn’t in your future…don’t worry, be happy: Throughout the month of April, we’re touring San Diego’s best urban wineries and vineyards. There’s no better way to get relief from tax season than to spend an afternoon with us. It’s EZ!  Just call or click to book online (see below to choose your tour). Cheers!    

We have seen 2017 from the New Year all the way into springtime, and with all the rain we’ve been seeing thanks to a friendly El Niño, this is a particularly hale and hearty spring. The air smells like orange blossoms and our lawns are a little (well, a lot) greener than they were this time…

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die. -William Butler Yeats February is such a great month in San Diego.  Not only is it when springtime begins around here, but it’s also the month of love! Valentine’s Day is a tradition that’s been going on for centuries – and probably millennia.  The tradition of Valentine’s Day is murky, but it’s thought to come from a 5th century Roman fertility rite called Lupercalia.  The rites were supposed to honor Faunus, the god of agriculture, and Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome who according to legend were raised by a she-wolf.  The rites consisted of parties and sacrifices, but most importantly, wine. Over time, it became much more about romantic…

With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, we thought we’d compile a selection of musings on the effervescent nectar that we love so much. Why not wow your NYE guests with one of these quotes as the evening’s toast? My only regret in life is that I didn’’t drink enough Champagne. John Maynard Keynes…

Now that November is approaching, it’s about time we start talking about San Diego Beer Week. While many San Diego natives are familiar with this magnificent ode to hops, barley, and fermentation, many are not… so let’s explore the numbers. San Diego is the craft beer capital of America; in fact, San Diego breweries have…

Editors note: In any given month at San Diego Beer, Wine & Sprits Tours, we have several interns working with us. Most of our interns are college-aged Business and Marketing majors who are learning the ins-and-outs of working in a company like SDBWST. In addition to the grunt work that all interns must do (because…
