About Vineyard Hacienda

Nestled just 18 minutes from downtown San Diego, Vineyard Hacienda is a serene, Spanish-style estate offering a timeless blend of old-world charm and natural beauty. Originally built in the 1930s using traditional adobe, red Spanish tile, and hand-selected hardwood, the estate embodies the craftsmanship and elegance of classic hacienda architecture.

In the 1990s, owner Joseph Harmes III, alongside his late mother and grandfather, lovingly transformed the property’s nine acres into the lush, vibrant sanctuary it is today. What began as a family vision became a heartfelt mission: to create a peaceful retreat to be shared with the world.

In 2000, the family opened the doors of Vineyard Hacienda as a long-term rental sanctuary. Guests often stayed for months—some for years—and many became like extended family. In 2014, the property evolved into what it is today: a unique boutique lodging experience and premier event venue, where guests come to celebrate, retreat, and reconnect.

From weddings and milestone celebrations to wellness retreats, festivals, and corporate gatherings, Vineyard Hacienda has become a haven for meaningful moments. It’s a space where people gather not just to mark time, but to make memories—where life’s most cherished experiences unfold in a setting that feels worlds away, yet remains incredibly accessible.

We are honored to be the stewards of this magical place, and we believe every guest who visits brings their own energy and joy to the land.
