Twin Oaks Valley Winery is a family owned and operated business. Although established in 2001, Malcolm and Kathryn Gray purchased the winery in 2013 to introduce new, updated winemaking techniques to “old world” wines and refresh the brand. We specialize in crafting small batches of wine from the finest grapes grown in the San Diego County. We are proud to support our local farmers and growers. In addition to making our own wines, we offer a “custom crush” service allowing individuals, groups and organizations to use the facility to make wine for themselves.

Company Logo

There is a buzz in Vista as Wild West Mead Company sets up shop in an industrial business park. The craft meadery, founded by brothers Michael “Mead Mike” Weidemann and Keith Weidemann, has been contract brewing and producing small-batch and brewery collaborations since 2017.

The Weidemann brothers, who relocated to San Diego from Texas, have leveraged their backgrounds in electrical engineering to connect with various breweries in North County. Now, they are combining their construction expertise and passion for mead to open their own production facility and taproom.

Wild West Mead will launch with four core meads, alongside 4-8 rotating experimental blends featuring different types of honey, fruit-based, and seasonal options. The meadery plans to continue collaborations with other mead and craft beer businesses in North County.

"We try to push the envelope with ingredients. We’re known for our Jalapeno Cornbread Braggot. It’s a half-beer and half-mead style that we collaborate with a brewery on. It’s like biting into a slice of jalapeno cornbread," shares Michael Weidemann.
