Holiday Wine Cellar is a Southern California institution — a beloved family-owned Escondido wine shop and cellar that has been serving San Diego's wine community for decades. Known for an extraordinary selection of wines, beers, and spirits from around the world, Holiday Wine Cellar is the kind of place that rewards exploration: rare bottles, hard-to-find brews, and specialty spirits that simply don't exist anywhere else in the region. Staff members Mark Hodges and Jonathan Rivera are celebrated by regulars for their genuine knowledge and enthusiastic guidance. Oscar the dog greets every visitor at the door. A refrigerated beer cave and wine cellar sections add to the discovery experience. The wine club offers private events where members meet wine and spirit makers directly — an unusually personal touch for a retail operation. Wines and spirits ship nationwide. The best selection in North San Diego County, period.
