About the Business
Cheval Winery, located at 2919 Hill Valley Drive in Escondido, California, is a unique institution that combines the love for horses with the art of winemaking. Founded by Donna and Dr. Randy Kaufman, the owners originally sought out the property for their champion show horses, but were pleasantly surprised to find a winery on the estate as well.
Named after their son, the authentically made MAVERICK Sangiovese is a must-try blend of their finest varietals, with notes of blackberry, dry cocoa, cherry cola, espresso, and red licorice. The perfect balance of structure and acidity, this wine is a true delight for the senses.
At Cheval Winery's Tipsy Barrel Tasting Room, guests can sample some of the most popular wines while enjoying the modern design and dog-friendly atmosphere. The Stompin' Grounds on site is home to their champion show horses, many of whom have wines named after them.
Cheval Winery offers an exclusive and modern wine tasting experience in the heart of San Diego. With a unique blend of horse culture and winemaking expertise, a visit to Cheval is a truly unforgettable experience.

Reviews
"Love this place. It's like your backyard but better. So slow, great view, and wine vines. Oh and animals."
"Amazing views and great wine! Fantastic outside seating area with the perfect breeze. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Cab Franc was our favorite. We became members on our first visit and look forward to bringing our friends back here. And they are pet friendly which is a must! Cheers!"
"Newer winery and a step up in price from most in the area. The taste makes up for it though! Horses and llamas to say hi to on the farm."
"Very fun line dancing lesson. Wine was amazing (Bubba and Walk the Line are my two favorites). Great ambiance and people."
"What the heck just happened? We’ve lived in the area for years and didn’t know about this place. My wife had parents watch the kids yesterday so she could sneak me out for some wine for my birthday. When we pulled in I was a bit skeptical. A winery in Escondido?? So we went in. It was nice inside and the people were very friendly. We did a $15 tasting which normally gives 4 tastings but since they were out of some wines they added a 5th. First was an unfiltered Chardonnay that was good. Ok...this place is pretty nice. Second was a Sangiovese rosé. It was awesome! Chilled perfectly. Tasted amazing. Wow. I’m surprised. Third was their Maverick - Sangiovese. Woah!! It was really smooth. So good. What is going on right now? Why are these so good? 4th was Codebreaker - Barbera and Merlot. UNBELIEVABLE! Different finish then I’ve tasted before and it was amazing What the heck!? Where am I? These are some of the best wines I’ve had in years 5th was Walk the Line - Syrah. SO GOOD!! I’m blown away. We literally hit the winery jackpot 5 min from our house that no one knows about. Or no one I knew. Then we walked around and saw the vines and the horses. It was a perfect experience. I’ve already told so many people, bought a bottle for a friend and will be back. The wine bottles are pricey but worth it. About $67. Although they had a 50% off on the Maverick! And they have a membership where you don’t pay to be a member, just an agreement to buy the three bottles each quarter. I have a background in fine dining, studying wine, even fermented and made my own wine once, became a wine broker for a short time and I’ve tried many wines over the years. This place blew me away. I want to tell no one about it and everyone about it."
