There are places that serve wine … and then there are places built from a lifelong dream. 🍷

Perched above the San Pasqual Valley, Cordiano Winery was born from the vision of Gerardo and Rosa Cordiano, who carried generations of Italian winemaking tradition from Calabria to the hills of San Diego County.

Today, the Cordiano family continues to craft wines rooted in heritage, hospitality, and the simple joy of gathering around the table.

On May 28th, join Edible San Diego for Vintners Table—an unforgettable evening celebrating San Diego terroir through local wine, seasonal food, and the people behind it all.

Chef Coral Strong of Garden Kitchen is creating a hyper-seasonal farm-to-fork menu inspired by what’s being harvested across Southern California right now — thoughtfully paired with 100% local San Diego County wines.

✨ Sunset dinner overlooking Highland Valley
✨ Meet the winemakers behind the bottle
✨ VIP guests begin the evening inside Cordiano’s private cellar with rare pours, limited releases, curated bites, and intimate tastings alongside the winemakers themselves

Part of San Diego Wine Week byt the San Diego County Vintners Association.

Less than two weeks away and tickets are moving quickly. VIP seating is extremely limited.

Mama Marie’s Bolognese
COVER RECIPE SUBMITTED BY SHIRA BLISS
SELECTED BY CHEF JEFF ROSSMAN
This recipe was submitted in loving memory of Marie Theresa Vild. Our dear Mama Marie passed away in 2025. We never knew how she made her delicious and highly sought-after bolognese sauce. Born into an Italian family, we figured there were some secret ingredients in Mama M’s recipe. Many of us daughters tried to duplicate her recipe, yet we could never quite replicate the deliciousness of her celebrated dish. It wasn’t until she was gone that her handwritten recipe was found. May her rich legacy never die. Mangia, mangia!

Most people have never experienced honey this way. Wild Tree Bee Company hives move through coastal blooms, inland wildflowers, and sun-soaked desert forage, gathering from what’s available in that place, at that exact moment. What they create isn’t uniform—it’s a season in motion, captured in a jar.

In San Diego County, you can move from coastal chaparral to inland foothills to open desert in just a few hours. Each landscape carries its own bloom, its own rhythm, and its own set of wildflowers that the bees forage.

Domaine Artefact opens Café Rhône in Highland Valley, with coffee and farm-to-table fare.

A trip down Highland Valley Road usually means one of a few things: a visit to one of the dozen wineries in the area, a stop in Ramona, or maybe it’s the course for the latest bike excursion. Whatever the reason, if you’re looking for a snack pitstop along the way—that can be a bit tricky. Luc...
