About FruitCraft: Celebrating Artisan Wine & Spirits
At FruitCraft, we fuse the artistry of winemaking & distillation with the cutting-edge innovation of craft distillation. Located in the vibrant heart of San Diego, our venue harmoniously blends the sophistication of a winery with the daring spirit of a distillery. Every sip embodies a tale of meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering passion, crafted to enrich your journey.
THE WHAT
FruitCraft was inspired by the Craft Beer scene. While breweries at the time were fermenting mostly grains—an inexpensive source of sugar via starch—and wineries were fermenting grapes, we decided to do what nature has done since the beginning of time: ferment every other fruit!
Since then, our growing company has also produced kombucha, hard kombucha, cider, mead, Sparkling wines from fruit, red wine, and distills Eau De Vie in our San Diego tasting room.
THE HOW
PRIVATE EVENT VENUE AND SOCIAL CLUB
At FruitCraft, we specialize in crafting small-batch libations made from real fruit—served exclusively through private events and curated experiences.
Our venue is often reserved for weddings, milestone celebrations, and private gatherings, offering a one-of-a-kind space where guests can celebrate with intention and style.
When we’re not hosting private events, we open our doors for thoughtfully curated experiences that showcase our food and beverage offerings—think seasonal tastings, elevated pairings, and intimate community gatherings.
Whether you're here to celebrate something big or simply explore what we craft, you're part of the story we're proud to share.
THE WHY
NATURE'S ORIGINAL ALCOHOL WAS MADE FROM FRUIT
The alcoholic offerings found in our world today are predominantly made from low-quality ingredients. The fermentation of grains, corn, and rice accounts for the vast majority of the alcohol consumed in our marketplace. But for millennia before the invention of those alcohols, nature itself gave us the original of all alcohols: fermented fruit. The history of alcohol is the history of fermented fruit. To this end, fermented fruit is the predominant paleo beverage that was a regular part of our ancestors' diet, and it is our team's experience that it treats our bodies better than fermented grains. It is our mission to bring the highest quality alcohol that nature can provide to market and to offer it in experiences that can only be found in our tasting room and event venue.
