Koi Zen Cellars - S San Diego

The wine is high quality, made on site, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, my home away from home.

Some really nice wines, and an extremely pleasant place to meet while savoring some of them.

This is the Cheers for today! It can be an extension of your living room when you invite friends to meet you there. The owners and staff are personable and knowledgeable and the award winning wines are, oh so very good! My favorites are the Malbec (sweeter version) and the Zin. Wine Club parties are so delightful make new friends or just chill out, relaxing on your own!

Koi Zen is a great little escape from reality. We stopped by on our way Wednesday to the grocery store to pick up some last minute items for Thanksgiving dinner. It was so crowded everywhere it was nice to sit, chat and enjoy a glass of Cab and some chocolate. Koi Zen has various activities throughout the year (upcoming shopping for small business Saturday and a ceramic wreath making class on Sunday). The location is great, small business area but very peaceful and tranquil when you walk inside. The staff is always so welcoming and nice and their wines are great (I am more of a red person but their others are tasty as well). They sell little snacks like chocolates that were really good and have different wine themed gifts if you want to enjoy a glass while doing some light shopping. Great place, well worth checking out!

Love the staff and owners here, we always feel welcomed. The place is a diamond in the rough when you look at its location in a kind of industrial park back behind Home Depot in Carmel Mountain Ranch. Our daughter wanted us to bring her here for her first tasting for her 21st BD and Darius (owner/winemaker) went out of his way along with the other staff to make it an event to remember for her. They all took an interest in reaching her a little about wine. We are members and are glad to support this local, home-grown Mom and Pop winery and to stop in for our “free” monthly glasses of wine.
