Forgotten Barrel Winery

Quiet and comfortable outdoor setting for wine tasting.

My husband and I had the most special wedding ceremony and dinner at Forgotten Barrel Winery and I cannot speak higher praises. The venue is a little hidden gem located in the heart of Escondido. Although the location is within a neighborhood, once you arrive to the venue, you soon find yourself lost within wine country. Amy Bolego (Director of Operations) made our planning process effortless from day one. Her follow up and timely email communication was more than I could have anticipated - I had to remind her it wasn't necessary to respond back to me so quickly, but it was SO appreciated. She went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was as magical as it could be in the crazy times we are in. She kept us up to date as regulations changed with COVID and put us at ease. While we had to make some modifications and weren't able to utilize the indoor dinner/reception space (which is GORGEOUS) due to the state mandates, we were still able to use the amazing ceremony and modified dinner area - it all turned out AMAZING. It's not easy planning a wedding during COVID but Amy did all she could to make sure our day came together perfectly. She even offered to jump in and handle our dinner service which was not at all expected. I should also mention the wine is very delightful. We had the chance to taste majority of the different reds and wine and they did not disappoint. We look forward to going back to the venue, sip on wine and relive our special day. Thank you Forgotten Barrel! We truly appreciate the hospitality. More photos to be added as they come in.

Thanks to everyone at Forgotten Barrel Winery for making our birthday celebration so special!! As always a lovely afternoon of delicious wine and great conversations. ud83dude01

Due to everything going on and our wedding being scheduled here in August we aren’t able to have it because our family can’t make it. Amy was excellent at talking through options and listening to our needs. I can’t wait to come and have excellent wine here in the future!!!

Great little winery. Super staff, and great wine.
