The indoor tasting room, heated in winter and cooled in summer, is loaded with antiques (including the family Civil War Drum, featured on Antiques Roadshow) & comfortable seating areas.  A giant dining table can be reserved for you and your wine touring friends.  A collection of Pacific Northwest First Nation’s art is featured in the tasting room.  A Carriage House with Model A and Teardrop Trailer, aeronautic memorabilia and other antiques and stories by Norm are an attraction.  A courtyard with a graceful pepper tree and fountain are other areas to enjoy.

Wine maker Elaine makes a big, bold, dry, red wine you can stand your spoon up in, which is what she likes, and so do many of their visitors.  Fonzi Field Blend is their signature blend of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel.  Wine Club is free to join, and shipping outside San Diego is also free for Club Members.

The vineyard is the site of an ancient native village with metates, arrowheads and other artifacts.  There’s a memorial to 2 Navy pilots killed on the property in 1961, and a mediation labyrinth.  The tasting room has a self-guided tour book, as well as a folder “The Birds of Hatfield Creek”.
