About The Winery
Oddish Wine is an urban winery on Banks Street in Bay Park, created by the team behind the award-winning Lost Cause Meadery. It focuses on natural, minimal-intervention wines made from San Diego County grapes, and it goes well beyond a standard wine list, with cider from San Diego apples, vermouth, amaro, piquette, spritzes and orange wine.
What to expect: a creative, casual tasting room open every day, from late afternoon on weekdays and from noon on weekends. Oddish shares The Gärten, an outdoor live-music venue and beer garden in Bay Park, with its neighbors, which makes it an easy place to spend an evening rather than just stop in for a flight. It is one of the most highly rated tasting rooms in central San Diego.
Nearby: Oddish is next to Lost Cause Meadery and a short drive from the Point Loma and Ocean Beach wine spots, including Vinum Locus. See our best San Diego wineries guide, our list of the best wine bars in San Diego and the Flight Finder for current deals.
