Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
This was my first time here and it was impressive. It was busy but no wait time if you made a reservation. Not too crowded to sit and enjoy your time for drinking and chatting. We all had a great time after dinner we moved to have some more drinks at the bar.
Really great winery in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. Came here for a wine and mimosas flight. So refreshing on hot summer day. They are pet friendly which is a plus.
My bf and I recently moved to SJ and have loved trying out the restaurants in the area. RCW is easily one of our top favorites. The service is always top tier. Joe is THE guy. He always comes thru with the best recommendations and conversation. Incredible food and wine options. Don't skip the butter cake.
We booked the winery for a wedding rehearsal luncheon. We are in a different state and Michele very responsive. Communication was frequent and easy. She went the extra mile to answer all our questions and concerns. Our head server Grace and wait staff were kind and professional. Food was exceptional and the table was impeccable and beautifully decorated. Thank you Rancho Capistrano Winery for a memorable event.
We had been so curious about this place every time walking by so we finally did come for dinner. We asked our waiter a ton of questions about their wines and membership. Sam was so patient and answered them. We ordered the Maverick bottle and really enjoyed it with our dinner. In general, a restaurant would mark up 100% or more of whatever wines they sale, but their wines pricing on the menu is about 15% more than a member price. Thats pretty good bang for bucks. Let talk about food. Overall is pretty good. 1. Deconstructed Burrata Caprese: I didnt find any basils in the sun-dried tomato pesto so it was a disappointment. However, the dish was good. 2. Tropical Macadamia Mahi was very good. The fish was cooked perfectly, moist and fresh. The wild rice was ok. 3. RCW cow boy was very good. The ribeye was great quality and cooked perfectly. What really won us over was their accommodation. We were not demanding by any means but we were goofed up something and they were so understanding and accommodating the matter. We definitely come back. Thanks for everything.
