California Fruit Wine’s vintners ferment fruits other than the standard grape, such as strawberries, peaches, blackberries, pumpkin spice, and blueberries, to create a range of dry to sweet fruit wines. Located in an industrial park in close proximity to three microbreweries, California Fruit Wine buys up fruit from local farms and orchards, unlike traditional wineries, which sprout bottles of merlot from seed. During a tasting, each sipper in groups of two or four can sample five 1-ounce nips of selections such as blush strawberry wine, lighter-bodied peach, or tart plum wine before enjoying a full 5-ounce glass. Although fruit wine is usually packaged as a sweet dessert beverage, yeast added during the fermentation process can consume most of its excess sugar, yielding a drier flavor and a lot of jittery microbes that suddenly fall asleep an hour later.

About California Fruit Wine
The idea for California Fruit Wine was hatched in 2009, when a friend of Alan and Brian Haghighi introduced the twin brothers to small batches of homemade fruit wine. Since those first sips, Alan and Brian have continued to help wine drinkers break free from grape-based conventions, utilizing such fruit as pomegranates, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pumpkins as the foundation for an ever-growing arsenal of flavors. The winery fills glasses with unique bouquets, and—like the microbreweries throughout Vista Business Park—buys its ingredients from vendors up and down the west coast rather than growing them or stealing them from the refrigerators of napping bears. California Fruit Wine's spacious facility, which is stocked with a stage, bar, and pool table, can also be rented out for parties and private events.
