Myrtle Creek Vineyards is one of Fallbrook’s most scenic wine stops — a family vineyard at 1600 Via Vista producing small-batch wines in a setting that captures exactly what San Diego’s quieter wine country feels like. If you’ve been looking for a Fallbrook winery worth the detour, this is it.
Located at 1600 Via Vista in Fallbrook, CA 92028, Myrtle Creek Vineyards is a family-operated estate in the rolling hills above Fallbrook that has been producing wine from estate-grown fruit on property that embodies the quiet, unhurried character of San Diego’s northernmost wine region. Fallbrook’s growing conditions — warm days, granite soils, and cool evening temperatures — produce wines with natural structure that benefits from bottle aging.

Myrtle Creek’s wines reflect Fallbrook’s terroir — warm-climate reds with the structure to age and a house style that emphasizes fruit purity over heavy oak manipulation. The estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and blends from estate vines, with the tasting flight giving you a full picture of the current releases. Ask about library wines; small Fallbrook producers often have older vintages available for tasting that show how these wines develop.
