Escondido may mean "hidden" but it's no secret that there’s a lot going on here! Located just 30 miles north of downtown San Diego and 20 minutes from the coast, Escondido is home to major attractions, beautiful wineries, craft breweries, unique arts and theatre, delicious culinary experiences and a charming historic downtown. Enjoy our beautiful climate w

ith year-round golfing, hiking, biking, fishing, and fantastic events! Escondido is the heart of northern San Diego... rich in history and culture. The list of "must do's" includes the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, a unique performing arts complex, museum, and conference center; the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, an expansive wildlife sanctuary; Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens; the amazing sculpture garden, Queen Califia’s Magical Circle, created by the late world-acclaimed artist Niki de Saint Phalle; Cruisin' Grand Escondido, one of the greatest ongoing vintage car traditions in SoCal; the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum; Daley Ranch, a wilderness preserve with extensive hiking, biking and equestrian trails and Dixon Lake with great fishing and camping. Embracing a farm-to-table experience, Escondido offers a variety of culinary experiences with chef-owned restaurants such as Vintana Wine + Dine, The Wooden Spoon, and Bellamy’s... as well as three weekly farmers’ markets. Many beautiful boutique wineries with spectacular views provide leisurely wine tasting afternoons, and the best of the craft beer culture meets culinary vision right here at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens. This wonderfully unique area also presents many other activities... enjoying a round of golf at one of five golf courses, fishing or picnicking at three lakes, cycling on Palomar Mountain, browsing through historic downtown's art galleries or shopping at world-class retail stores and the largest auto park in Southern California. You can also play at one of several nearby casino resorts!
