Sblendorio Winery is a boutique Italian-influenced estate winery on De Luz Road in Fallbrook, producing handcrafted wines that reflect both the winemaking traditions of southern Italy and the distinctive terroir of San Diego's North County avocado country. The winery is a genuine family operation with a personal, welcoming tasting experience that is hard to find at larger establishments.

What to Expect

Sblendorio is a small family-owned boutique winery on De Luz Road in the hills outside Fallbrook, run by Phil and Laura Sblendorio. Visits are by appointment only, which makes for an intimate, personal experience — you’ll typically be hosted by the owners themselves, who are known for warmly sharing their property and their wines. Expect a focused, small-lot lineup centered on estate Cabernet Sauvignon from their own De Luz Vineyard, with generous pours and the occasional taste straight from the barrel. This is a destination for visitors who appreciate true boutique winemaking and one-on-one attention rather than a busy commercial tasting room. Because it’s appointment-only and tucked into the rural De Luz countryside, plan ahead: book in advance and allow extra drive time on the winding back roads. Free on-site parking is available once you arrive.
