Forgotten Barrel Winery

“Forgotten barrel is definitely the place to get married at. Chris and Alyssa made our experience perfect! They have the best vendors and the most romantic venue. If you are looking for something rustic dark but also beautiful this is the place. Has the best places for photos Thank you for the best wedding venue we could ask for”

“Love this little winery. They have a great selection of wines, including sparkling. The layout and outdoor seeing is fantastic, the fire pit is a nice touch. The staff is always helpful and friendly as well.”

“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.”

“This is a beautiful winery in Escondido. It's easy to get to off the 15 freeway and tucked in a quiet residential area. Service was great. There was love music when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. We walked around exploring the winery grounds while enjoying their wines. We opted for the wine tasting and I appreciate the nice size pours. Some wineries do miniscule pours. Not here! No outside food allowed but they do have some pre-packaged meat and cheese options for purchase. Nice plates and utensils are provided. No paper plates and plastic utensils here.”

“I recently visited Forgotten Barrel and was disappointed with the service I received. While the ambiance and wine selection were quite good, my experience was overshadowed by an issue with the billing. After enjoying a bottle of Sangiovese on site, I purchased a bottle of Chardonnay to take home. Upon receiving my bill, I noticed that a tip had been added without my consent. I believe that tipping should be a voluntary gesture of appreciation, based on the quality of service provided. When I brought this to the staff's attention, I was met with indifference and a lack of concern for my situation. Rather than addressing my concerns and ensuring I felt valued as a customer, they seemed more interested in deflecting blame. I had hoped for a more customer-friendly approach that would make me want to return in the future. Unfortunately, the handling of this situation has left me hesitant to visit again. I hope forgotten barrel considers this feedback and makes improvements to their customer service approach, as the quality of wine deserves a better overall experience.”
