While the majority of wineries are set among vineyards in the warm inland valleys, Solterra is situated a couple of blocks from the beach in beautiful north county San Diego. The climate is ideal for wine storage as the humidity is higher and the temperatures are a lot cooler which is ideal for aging our wines in barrel.
Our goal is to offer an educational and satisfying wine experience to residents who will be able to enjoy the process and our wines locally. We have a demonstration vineyard and will be producing all of our wines on premise. There are 2 buildings on site, the tasting room that was built in 1957 which is 1600 sq feet, and the new 3400 square foot building which is the winery.

Wine
Report
As more vineyards are planted we look forward to producing more wines from San Diego County fruit. The name "Solterra" is derived from the Latin words - Sun & Earth - the two most important elements in wine production. The Solterra "white" label is for our wines that are from grapes that are only grown in the San Diego county, Temecula, and northern Baja, Mexico.
Wine Blending
Report
One of the greatest parts of being a winemaker is the blending portion as it is critical to producing the best possible wine. We outfit you with the tools and a brief tutorial and then it is time to experiment to find a blend that best suits your palate! You can produce a wine that is drier or fruitier, more tannic, or whatever suits your fancy.
Kitchen
Report
Our cuisine is rustic mediterranean with some beautiful California influence. We strive for bold flavors and unique presentations reminiscent of coastal dining along the Mediterranean sea. Our menu changes seasonally and we source local as much as possible. Our meats are sustainable and are ethically grown.
