Some of our favorites are: Kohill Winery: Nestled in the sky-lined hills of Ramona California, Kohill Winery is just 40 minutes north of San Diego. A family dream built from the ground up, Kohill Winery overlooks Ramona’s majestic Valley of the Sun and is surrounded by three acres of vineyard. From our vines to your table, it is our deepest joy to create a magnificent collection of boutique vintages. At less than 1,000 cases per year, every bottle receives personal attention to ensure you are getting the highest quality wine. Our estate wines include Cabernet Sauvignon, Barbera, Refosco, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon plus other locally grown varietals. Milagro Farm Vineyards Milagro Farm Vineyards and Winery is a boutique winery located at 2400 feet elevation in the rolling mountains of Ramona, California. All of our wines are produced entirely from fruit grown on our property. Our vineyards are planted and managed to produce low yields and are watered completely from spring water wells on the property. These farming practices, the unique nature of our high altitude micro-climate, and the rocky granitic soils in our mountain vineyards allow us to produce exquisite fruit. Our wines are representative of the exciting potential of this historic and emerging wine growing region.
