Domaine Artefact Vineyard & Winery

Domaine Artefact Vineyard & Winery is a San Diego-based winery that draws inspiration from its owner's travels to France. The winery's Supper Club series explores the cuisine and culture of different French regions, with a focus on local ingredients and traditions. Their Normandy-themed dinner featured a trio of ciders as an aperitif, accompanied by rustic bread and paté de campagne. The entrée, Veal à la Normande, was adapted from a regional recipe to feature Duroc pork instead of veal, served with Paris Mash and roasted carrots. Apple tart tartin, a Normandy specialty, was served for dessert alongside Poire cider made from pears. The winery's tasting experience is casual and welcoming, allowing outside food and accommodating children and dogs. Domaine Artefact's focus on local flavors and ingredients reflects its owner's appreciation for regional cuisine, rather than wine production itself – Normandy being known for cider and apple brandy, such as Calvados and Pommeau. The winery's atmosphere appears to be relaxed and rustic, with a emphasis on community and shared culinary experiences.
