La Rebelde Winery is the culmination of a life long love and appreciation for wine by multiple generations of the Esquibel family in California and the additional persistence of one man to build that into a serious endeavor. Taking cues from simple traditions born in the grape fields of the California Central Valley, we have attempted to make wines that we love in the small lot, craft method.
Our wine making in Lake Elsinore is based on no pretention, with as little intervention as possible (no filtering and minimal chemical additives) and little concern with following the usual path. We make wine for the rebel...a little wild and a lot of fun. Join the revolution!

Where to find us:
We are currently open in our Lake Elsinore store 7 days a week for tasting and purchases. In true Garagiste fashion, we have selected a location that will make us the first winery in Lake Elsinore and allow us to manufacture our product and pour in the same location. We also feel very fortunate to be open two doors down from our friends at Craft Brewing Company. We feel this location allows us to provide a casual social stop for the craft beer and wine fans in the Inland Empire and also those visiting Southern destinations from Los Angeles and Orange counties. Visit us today. See our location and hours on the Contact Information tab.
Updates:
6/10/2013: Thank you for a great first week!! We appreciate the regulars and some new faces finding us and coming to have some wine. Sangria Sunday was a popular event and we feel that continuing with that through the summer will provide an entertainment option for the community to consider. We are still working through some completion of construction but we are here and pouring every day. We are looking forward to our Blending party on Saturday, June 15th. See the details below and reserve a spot soon. The following Saturday, June 22nd, we will have our official Grand Opening. That will start at noon. I'll post a reminder but please try to join us. We have been invited to pour at the Packinghouse Brewing Co. event at the end of the month and are very happy that the Inland Empire craft brewing community is welcoming us and including us on their events. If you are not on our email list, please submit your contact info on our Contact page here.
