Koi Zen Cellars, San Diego CA

A fine place to hang out. Professional, friendly service. Wines are very fruit forward, so if that's your thing, this is the place. Snacks like cheese plates are also available.
They have trivia nights and other events, so check the website or social media.

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.

Let's start off with I don't like wine. So, I didn't like the two I tasted but the one from the back that was "not even close to be ready to be bottled", really had great potential. It was a Port and tasted sweet but not too sweet. I don't know what else to say to describe it because I don't know wine talk.
I was happily satisfied as I like sweet wines like Moscato's but not all of them as I am picky wine drinker.
The reason it only got 3 stars was because of the entertainment. They had Comedy night that night. The head liner was really good and two other were ok. The other 3 were bad. When I go see a show, I expect all of the entertainment tobe good, almost great. I know, high expectations. Silly me.

Excellent wine with a laid back comfortable atmosphere. The assistant wine maker Dane and the wine tender Dani were fun and personable as well as excited about their product. Definitely will be back!

Very cool wine bar featuring some of California’s wine from the various wine regions. Really relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Will certainly be back!

Great winery.bought a splash of Zinfandel with bold tannins. Cozy tasting rooms, you can bring your own snacks.cheese, sausages, fruits.good place to sit and visit with friends.i Bought a dark chocolate truffle.i enjoyed my evening.

Great wine selection. I had a bottle of the Big Zenfill Zin. Great flavor. The music this Saturday afternoon was a great compliment.

We picked up a wine and truffle gift set, and enjoyed a glass of our favorite wine outdoors on a bench in the cool fall weather. Our hosts chatted with us briefly, and we had a wonderful time.

The views here are amazing! Nothing beats wine and views of the city! Their happy hours are awesome! Can't beat $4 glasses of wine. If you get hungry they have Scolari's on site for some grub. And if views aren't your jam (don't see why they wouldn't be) they have indoor seating inside a dome.

These guys are legit. All the guys in the shop are great and very chill. Great work done very fast at a good price. I'll definitely be back. Anyone with a sport bike in Koi Zen Cellars should check these guys out.
