Forgotten Barrel Winery

Forgotten Barrel produces a diverse range of handcrafted premium wines from fruit grown in Napa, Sonoma, the Central Coast, and San Diego County. Forgotten Barrel Winery and Tasting Room takes pride in being a part of Escondido and San Diego wine history. The historic Ferrara Winery was purchased by Rodger Grove, owner of Forgotten Barrel, in 2016 and the tasting room opened in June of 2017. The restoration work is fully finished. Forgotten Barrel blends the natural beauty and intimacy of the vineyards with an elegance and sophistication you and your guests will never forget, featuring romantic, vintage-inspired views. From a private gathering to a formal banquet, our objective is to make your preparation easy and fun so you can focus on what matters most: your family, friends, and dedication to one another. Escondido, California is a terrific place to get away from it all, and it's only a mile from the I-15 freeway. Visit Forgotten Barrel and take a stroll through our vintage-themed grounds. Our winery offers lovely views as well as a rustic, dramatic barrel chamber that fits the occasion.
