Formally Julian Gem and Jewelry- we have now started the transition to a Natural History Museum. We recently moved into a cute historic building 2016 Main Street which was built from recycled lumber found in Cuyamaca after the Gold mining boom. We have a sample of Gold on display which was recovered in Coleman creek named after Fred Coleman who discovered Gold in 1869 putting Julian on the map.

To fund the creation of exhibits we Buy, Sell,Trade in Natural resources. We can gladly help you identify and appraise Insects, Bird Carvings, Gems, Jewelry, Shells, and Artwork. I moved to San Diego county 12 years as a underground miner in search of Bluecap Tourmaline and Morganite. I’ve traveled all over this country searching for Lost species and buried treasure. My wife Mercedes Pinto has recently built and started fabricating her own jewelry line. She is an amazing artist and we have many of her creations in our gift shop section.

Large stone art piece. Lots of gems and jewelry. Huge variety of cabachons.  Home to World’s Best Species Specific Egg Replica Collection.  From Ostrich to Hummingbird a comprehensive collection. We have an amazing display of Spiny Oysters(Spondylus) and are currently putting together a Shells of California and the Westcoast exhibit. You can also see an Anglerfish up close. We love Natural History.  From chasing high elevation Panassius to climbing off of cliffs to hunt jade. Come visit let’s share our adventures.

ENJOY A MEMORABLE VISIT – EXPERIENCE OUR TERROIR

We are located on Mesa Grande Road near Santa Ysabel, California. Take a weekend drive to one of the most picturesque areas in San Diego County and experience our terroir and our wines. We are located not far off the road to Julian and points beyond such as Warner Springs or the Borrego desert.

Our 2015, 2016, and 2017 vintages are all single variety Sangiovese. The 2018 harvest included initial pickings of fruit from our Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. 2019 was the first year in which we fully cropped all three varieties, and we now have successive vintages of the three wine varietals in process. We recently completed the construction of our tasting room/retail facility and are now taking reservations, offering private appointments that include vineyard and winery tours/tutorials culminating in tastings of our available vintages.
