Fantastic place. This is the quaintest vineyard I have ever been. Hosts were fantastic. Vines were great. Whiskey Syrah stood out. We went there on a rainy, kind of coldish day, but the overall experience made up for the weather.

One of my favorite wineries in Ramona!!! They have amazing wines and the customer service is impeccable. They make you feel like family here

Love this spot! We went on a Saturday and enjoyed the super pretty view of the vines and hills, fun live music, friendly staff, etc. The wine is delicious! We did a tasting and ended up purchasing a bottle of the Aquarius and the and the Bellatrix. The owner was so friendly and brought out wine and a cheese plate for us. I definitely recommend!

Celebrated a 3 year anniversary out in Ramona doing some wine tasting and this was our 2nd stop. We were greeted by Brooke the owners daughter. Super sweet and welcoming! We selected to do their wine tasting selection and they are pre-selected options on a list. Their patio has different styles of seating there's tables, benches, sofas, and chairs. It's awesome to have different choices to suit people's comfortability. The wine the wine the wine....... Probably will be my new fav spot! I loved every tasting! The whites are crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink. The reds have depth, great flavor, and coat your mouth perfectly. Truly enjoyed this spot! The owner actually came over to chat with us about even they have and trips they plan for their club members, all sounded super fun! Had such a good time that I only snapped one picture. Great view of their grape vines and the Ramona mountain. They have live music, Will definitely be back :)

A beautiful setting to sip wine. All of the staff and especially Lorri and Barry were knowledgeable, fun, and attentive. The wines were so delish, I joined their club!

A wonderful and relaxing Sunday afternoon wine tasting at Vineyard Grant James! The outdoor patio with comfortable seating features views of distant hills, the vineyard, and a dramatic sunset.We tasted five excellent wines, and I selected to purchase and take home the Aquarius – a delightful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petite Sirah.The friendly and welcoming vibe made the wine tasting experience even more enjoyable and made me eager to return very soon!

I was sadly disappointed when my bestie and I visited yesterday. While the wines that I did get to try were delicious the service was terrible! One of the employees stood with another table the whole time. We were there for about an hour and fifteen minutes and still was only served 3 of the 5 wines in the tasting. The grounds are beautiful but I could only have patience for so long till it got to be ridiculous!
Made a special trip on a Sunday afternoon to try out this popular vineyard. Dirt roads leading up to a quiet setting surrounded by grape vines. Not many people at their outdoor patio, so had plenty of options for seating. Best value for money has to be the tasting. It's about 5 pours for around $18. Go to the outside bar and the bartenders will explain the wine being poured. Really liked the white that I had, while the remaining reds were medium bodied. Also ordered a cheese plate which paired well with the wine, though not entirely fresh. Considering the heavy handedness on the pours, we couldn't get to the last one and still leave on our own volition. Overall vibe is nice, with the only drawback is all the flies buzzing around (didn't matter where you sat). Good spot for a relaxing wine experience.

Came here again with friends this time, and another great experience. Friendly owners and servers. *Lorri was an amazing, accommodating server. They really try to make you feel welcomed (ie gave us snacks on the house because they didn't have the charcuterie board at that time for purchase). We had just visited Turtle Rock Ridge, who didn't really want to provide splashes of their wine, so this was a much more pleasant experience!!! Thing is, there was a group of 5...we want to get 1 bottle to start off with. With everyone's slightly different taste buds, does it hurt to give a tiny splash to get a bottle of what we will enjoy?! It doesn't. Grant James delivered in that sense and they want their guests to enjoy their experience. We ended up getting 3 bottles. Their wine selection and wines are great! Their Tannat was amazing. Beautiful views and great little patio. Definitely recommend!

Their wines are amazing and the ambience is incredible, even when hotter than 95 degrees! Highly, highly recommend

By far the best California wines in Ramona, highly recommended crisp whites and bold reds, must see.

I have been to Grant James many times and have liked the staff until now. The last couple times I have been there I have been completely ignored by the staff. All the other patrons that are sitting at the tables and couches were served wine and it was brought to their table. I was never offered wine at my table. I feel the quality of the wine has gone downhill. Obviously only certain members are catered to you but others are ignored. It seems like there's always new trainees behind the bar. I think I will take my business elsewhere.
