  • "The Mascot" Dinner

    $450.00 per person

    Mar 20, 2025 only
    San Ysidro Ranch is delighted to present an exclusive evening with The Mascot, a distinguished Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon made from distinct hillside vineyards: specifically, the younger vines of Harlan Estate, BOND, and Promontory. Founded by Will Harlan, it began as a small, informal project shared among the family, the winemaking team, and a handful of close friends. Drawing fruit from recently replanted blocks within the vineyards, The Mascot reveals its distinguished pedigree while offering insight into the evolution of its parent properties: a youthful promise of their future. Join us for an extraordinary five-course tasting menu, thoughtfully paired with iconic vintages of The Mascot. $450 per person (excluding tax and gratuity).

    This is a beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. If I could’ve given the the weight staff, the hostesses, and the manager 10 stars for service I would have. The food is very nice, but perhaps could be a bit more special given how wonderful the space and the people are there. A wonderful experience!

    As usual, everything was wonderful! The Yellowtail Hamachi Crudo, Ceviche, and Poke Bowl were all delicious...... A must place to visit for lunch, especially sitting outside in the patio area under the Loquat Trees

    You usually have to make reservations weeks in advance but it's well worth out. They believe in perfection and execute everything so well. Food, service, atmosphere, wine, cocktails are wonderful. You won't be disappointed.
