Rashelica Winery & Art Garden

Rashelica Winery & Art Garden is a winery and sculpture garden on Highway 67 in Ramona, in the Ramona Valley AVA. It is one of the more unusual stops on the Ramona Valley wine trail guide: the property pairs its handcrafted wines with a large collection of sculptures set along garden paths, and local musicians play on tasting days. The winery describes itself as a cultural destination, and that is a fair way to think about it. You come for the wine, but you spend as much time walking the grounds as you do at the bar.

What to expect: tastings are poured on weekends, and the art garden is the main draw for first-time visitors, so plan on an hour or more rather than a quick stop. The setting works well for a slow afternoon, a birthday outing, or the last stop of a Ramona wine day before heading back down Highway 67.

Nearby: Rashelica sits on the west side of Ramona, close to Schwaesdall Winery and Rancho San Martin Winery, so it pairs easily with a loop through the valley. Build the full day with our Wine Tasting Day Trip Builder, or browse all Ramona wineries.
