Southern California wineries may not get as much attention, but their industry thrives nonetheless. From tasting rooms to urban vineyards, Los Angeles wineries offer visitors a worthwhile day trip.

San Antonio Winery, founded in 1917 and located in downtown LA since 1917, dates back to California's early winemaking era. From Pierce's Disease, Prohibition, and urbanization are no match for its legendary wines - now revered across California as one of its premier producers. San Antonio Winery now offers three tasting sessions each week including daily selections as well as limited reserve wines from Riboli Family estates at its current tasting room located nearby in Downtown LA.

Jasper Dickson and Amy Luftig of Angeleno Wine Co. met when both working at Silverlake Wine. Inspired by their shared love of wine, they opened an urban winery in downtown Los Angeles that exclusively makes wines made with California fruit - with an intimate tasting room that has quickly become the world's smallest tasting room and always draws crowds of wine enthusiasts.

Abe Schoener of Scholium Project and Los Angeles River Wine Company was inspired to establish his Los Angeles winery after visiting an historic Cucamonga vineyard with 100-year-old vines, after being introduced to low-intervention wines produced with grapes from both modern and historical LA vineyards.
