Rancho Capistrano Winery

We were out for an evening walk and felt like a glass of wine and something light to munch on and chill. We came to Ranco Capistrano Winery. I’m really glad we stopped here. Super laid back. Relaxing out on the patio area with nice party lighting and some flame heaters. I ordered a glass of their “Remington.” A mild sweet red with a nice fruity finish. I had to, we named our dog the same name. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip that came with fresh made tortilla chips. Nice baked finish on the dip to create a nice crust on top. The service was friendly and attentive. The entire experience was very relaxed and pleasing. Thank you Rancho Capistrano Winery for a memorable evening. Sorry I didn’t take pics of the food. We were just enjoying the experience. But the included pic is a view from t

Delicious brunch at Rancho Capistrano Winery! We sat on the dog friendly patio and were able to enjoy the beautiful San Clemente downtown. We ordered the fig bruschetta, Gorgonzola apple flatbread, and crab Benedict and loved them all. The mimosas are also very tasty and refreshing. Excellent service, quick and friendly. Recommend!

Haven't been here for years. They've definitely upped their game. To start, great service. Little things matter, like our server happily moving us inside after we got a little chilly at our outside table. She also offered to make us a mocktail though there wasn't one on the menu (it was YUMMY BTW. See the pic attached.) We ordered the sesame crusted Ahi and the shrimp topped halibut. Both were not only better than expected but very large portions. Quite a pleasant surprise vs. the trend of many other restaurants. Nice plating too. All in all, it was a wonderful date night with good food, great service and fair prices.

I’m basing my food rating on the wine since we didn’t eat. We did a 5 glass wine tasting of mixed red and whites. We ended up buying a bottle of delicious Rose. Service was great.

Had an incredible brunch at Capo Winery. The setting alone is worth the trip—beautiful vineyard views, relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of space to unwind. The food was outstanding: fresh, flavorful, and plated like something out of a resort. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the wine pairings took everything to the next level. It’s one of those spots where you can sit for hours, enjoy great company, and feel like you’re on a mini getaway. Highly recommend for a slow, laid-back weekend brunch.
