Beloved Wine Bar Coming To San Diego's Wine Scene

The Gaslamp Quarter location will be the wine bar's third spot and first in Southern California.

SAN DIEGO, CA — Corks will soon be popping with Wine Girl coming to San Diego.

The beloved wine bar is opening its doors in early October in the Gaslamp Quarter.

"San Diego felt like the most natural fit for Wine Girl — a city that's equal parts laid-back coastal and stylishly social, just like us," Trevor Johnston, co-owner of Wine Girl, told Patch. "We wanted to bring our signature blend of boho-chic design, playful wines, and good vibes to a place where locals and visitors alike are always ready to sip, celebrate, and snap the perfect photo with friends."
