Awards & Recognition
Hillside Ranch Vineyard carries a deep legacy — Bill and Donna transformed their small diversified Jamul farm into a boutique vineyard and winery after decades of growing pumpkins, kiwi, corn, and oat hay. After Bill's passing in 2015, Donna continued their shared vision and built Hillside Ranch into a boutique wine destination only 25 minutes from downtown San Diego. Owner Donna serves on the San Diego Farm Bureau Board representing small growers and family operations. Member of the Jamul-Dulzura Vintner's Association. Stunning breathtaking views and warm country hospitality.
