During the pandemic, I was really lucky to find this black woman owned wine and beer tasting room in North Inland...surprisingly downtown Escondido. I've been a repeat customer since then. It's an immaculate chic spot to sip & unwind...sip & conversate...sip & dance. I especially love the wine tastings and dj nights. I always have a fun time! So be ready to enjoy yourself!! Just sip & be merry!!! There is a great variety of choices so let your palate decide. For the port wine lovers out there, this is the place to come to. Cassandra, the owner, has a nice collection. Importantly, the service is absolutely fantastic. And, I don't want to forget the yummy charcuterie board that's available to satisfy your food appetite. FYI - Follow on social media to find out about events and promotions.

Met up with a friend yesterday and this spot is awesome! I don't know anything about wine but the owner recommended a great wine after asking a few questions. My friend had a beer that she really enjoyed. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Tasty beverage, Chill vibes, super clean, comfy and wonderful service:)

Relaxed and chic. The charcuterie and baked brie are great.

Cute place that has comfortable couch seating if you are lucky to grab a spot. The server was highly knowledgeable about the wines and curated us a flight based on what we described that we like; the wines were served maybe a bit warm. Easy Street parking.

I came here with some friends, and they had a free tasting event featuring some wines from Northern California. The staff was super friendly and sweet. The wines were quite good. I loved the vibe, the art and the wine, so I'll be back.

Update - 2023 - popped in a few months ago - not the same place. Vibe, at all. Not sure if it was officially open, as it appeared shuttered couple times we went by during Covid. But then, we saw there were people there this last time, so we popped in...even tho it was kind of dark... seemed maybe like a private gathering.. was not sure what to make of it. NOT welcoming at all. Tried to engage with the owner and it was a struggle. It was open, but maybe a handful of friends hanging out. Changed my mind after that. Not sure what was up but would not go back. Disappointed. Really wanted to see them succeed. Not enough wineries in the Grand Ave area. I know she is an icon for wine makers but did not feel welcome at all, this time around. *Loved this place too! Great wine, ambience, people.. and music! Just don't go enough.

Beautiful wine and beer bar with unique options. They also have a few food options. Can double as an event space if you're looking to have a party or gathering. Location has ample parking options. Staff is friendly and attentive. Bonus: black owned establishment!

We stopped in last night for a quick visit and Leondra provided exceptional Service, and really makes you feel as if you've known her for some time. She is a great addition to SIP! Highly recommend this place to explore new wine options.
This wine location is so mellow and cozy. I love the music and the wine selections they have. I ended up buying a few bottles to take home with me. The atmosphere is so welcoming with good vibrations. The wine here is delicious and so is the beer. This is a perfect location for group gatherings or just solo time to sip wine while you do work. This is going to be my new spot. I recommend coming here if you are in the area, you won't regret it!

It is a wonderful place to enjoy fantastic wine and beer by black and brown artisans. Some of the best we've had from any of the wineries we've been to. Try the cabernet savignion by the owner. Sits extremely well on the tongue with a balanced taste and low acidity (I'm a cab and tempranillo guy). Definitely making this place a hangout to try new creations by very skilled wine makers and brewers.

Came here for a friend's baby shower, so I've only had the "private event" experience. I loved the decor, the staff was phenomenal, AND they had cocoa butter available in the bathroom. I will definitely be going back. To top things off, it's a black owned establishment.

Very lovely wine bar in Escondido. The owner is very personable and friendly. If you like good wine (and beer), along with very friendly service, I would highly recommend this establishment!

One of the best hidden gems in Escondido!! C!!! The owner is a queen! She takes care of her customer so we'll, the wine is fantastic and you have to get a charcuterie board!
