Hungry Hawk Vineyards & Winery
Overlooking the gorgeous San Pasqual Valley, Hungry Hawk Vineyards & Winery is one of the hidden gems in San Diego. The tasting room offers varietals from France, Italy, and Spain. This premium craftsmanship, limited production boutique winery, has a unique style that granted its recognition as one of the best wineries by many locals. Founded by Jeannine and Ed Embly in 2014, this ten-acre estate has been one of the hidden gems in San Diego to produce 15 varietals of grapes. The Winemaker, Mike Embly, understood the potential in incorporating sustainable farming practices since he planted the first vines in 2009. Entirely self-sustainable, the vineyards reflect the values and traditions of this family-owned vineyard & winery in San Diego. All grapes grown in the estate receive the highest care, and the resources are all collected from the land. Every year this hidden gem in San Diego releases over 25 different wines directly at its Estate Tasting Room, many of them award-winning.

Daley Ranch
Hiking trails for hikers of all levels! Wear shoes with good ankle support and traction, a hat, sunglasses, and something to cover your neck wouldn’t hurt either. If you get far enough, you’ll get to see some beautiful views!
South Carlsbad State Beach

Coronado Beach
Set against the backdrop of storied and iconic Hotel del Coronado, featured in Marilyn Monroe’s 1958 film “Some Like it Hot,” Coronado is the quintessential San Diego postcard experience and a great place for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family beach vacation. The long sandy beaches here are special and literally sparkle, thanks to the mineral mica in its golden sand, which is one of the reasons Coronado is consistently voted one of America’s finest beaches by The Travel Channel, Dr. Beach, and many others.
Balboa Park
Ever changing. Always amazing. Where culture, science, and nature collide, Balboa Park is home to more than 16 museums, multiple performing arts venues, lovely gardens, trails, and many other creative and recreational attractions, including the San Diego Zoo.
