1255 Julian Orchards Dr - Jenkins Winerey 5,200 SF Specialty Building Offered at $2,850,000 in Julian, CA 92036

Volcan Mountain Winery presents a rare opportunity to acquire a boutique winery and lifestyle property in the highly sought-after Julian submarket of San Diego County. Established in 2015, the property spans approximately 10 acres and offers a unique combination of wine production, agricultural diversity, and an elevated tasting experience that attracts both locals and destination visitors.
The property includes a ±3,000 SF production facility with integrated office space and a loft-style apartment, providing on-site living or management capability. A separate ±1,200 SF tasting room is thoughtfully designed to capture the natural beauty of the surrounding mountain and orchard setting, enhancing the guest experience and supporting strong direct-to-consumer sales.
The vineyard consists of approximately 1 acre of planted grapevines, complemented by 8 acres of mature apple orchards. This diversified agricultural base allows for the production of traditional wines as well as apple wine and apple port, creating a differentiated product offering that resonates with visitors and wine club members.
Volcan Mountain Winery has established a strong brand presence, supported by over 700 active wine club members, high ratings on Google and Yelp, and a growing social media following. The winery benefits from consistent tourism traffic to Julian, a well-known mountain destination recognized for its seasonal events, apple harvests, and proximity to San Diego.
Importantly, the property operates under a Major Use Permit (MUP), a highly valuable and increasingly difficult-to-obtain entitlement within San Diego County. The MUP allows for winery operations, tasting room activities, and events, providing operational flexibility and long-term value protection. There are a limited number of wineries in San Diego County operating with this level of permitting, making this a significant barrier to entry for future competitors.
The layout and infrastructure of the property support multiple revenue streams, including wine production and sales, wine club memberships, private events, and agritourism experiences. The scenic setting, combined with the existing improvements, offers potential for expansion of event programming and enhanced hospitality offerings.
This offering is ideal for an owner-operator, investor, or lifestyle buyer seeking an established winery with growth potential in a constrained and desirable market. The combination of existing infrastructure, brand equity, and rare permitting positions Volcan Mountain Winery as a compelling acquisition opportunity within Southern California’s evolving wine and hospitality landscape.
