Forgotten Barrel Winery is a hidden gem in Escondido, easy to get to off the 15 freeway and tucked in a quiet residential area. The venue offers a great selection of reds and whites, including Petit Verdot, and a small version of Bernardo winery with a traditional village theme. Guests can enjoy a lazy afternoon on the patio, with live music in the courtyard and food trucks nearby. The wine tasting pours are nice size, and pre-packaged meat and cheese options are available for purchase, with no paper plates or plastic utensils. The space is large, rustic, and clean, with a barrel shaped bar area and tables outside. Service is great, and the atmosphere is peaceful and highly recommend.
This is a hidden gem. What a terrific venu to host a party, thank you Forgotten Barrel for a wonderful evening.

A little neighborhood gem. Relaxing grounds and tasty wine. I can come and just unwind with a glass. No pressure to do a tasting. Lots of different areas on the property to choose where you want to sip. They do have weddings so on weekends might want to call to check before heading there.
