What to do and see in San Diego, California (CA): The Best Wine Bars

Just off I-15 in Carmel Mountain lies a hidden gem called Koi Zen Cellars in the Carmel Mountain Business park. The warm inviting tasting room, complete with a Koi Pond, couches and padded chairs, allow guests to relax & enjoy the moment with a delightful glass of red, white or dessert wine. Their motto is: “Uncork, Sip Back & Relax”. This craft winery produces local and international award-winning wines using quality fruit sourced from Central and Northern CA. “If you start with quality grapes from award winning vineyards, you have a fighting chance to make a decent wine”, says Darius the winemaker and co-owner along with his wife Lisa. “We do everything possible so that our guests have a great experience. Many become friends and family.” This husband/wife team followed a dream, building not only a winery but a “wine community” hosting classes, events, parties & live music.

We’re an urban winery crafting unique sparkling and original wines from local vineyards. We’re small, independent, innovative, and care about everything we make. We’re located in the Miralani Makers' District - where you can enjoy wine, beer, cider and mead from a collection of craft beverage producers, all within walking distance! Our tasting room is kid and dog friendly, and you’re welcome to bring in any food and non-alcoholic beverages you’d like. Be our guest, relax and enjoy!
