Costa Azul Winery serves as the Carlsbad Village tasting room for Solterra Winery of Encinitas, pouring estate-produced wines from a barrel-room setting on Tyler Street. Flights feature wines drawn directly from oak barrels alongside finished bottles, with a food-pairing format that encourages outside food alongside house charcuterie plates—a pairing-centric approach shared by the Village's seafood kitchens including Pelly's Fish Market & Cafe. Solterra's winemaking operation began in Encinitas producing fruit-forward reds and whites from California appellations, and Costa Azul now pours that portfolio in its barrel-room lounge and on a rear patio where outside food is welcomed. The Pinot Noir and Merlot are poured at cellar temperature straight from French oak cooperage, a direct-from-barrel experience that contrasts with the plated Italian wine-service format at Spirito's Italian Diner on Carlsbad Village Drive. The tasting-room barrel inventory includes Pinot Noir aged in medium-toast French oak and a Reserve Merlot finished in new American cooperage, with both varietals drawn through stainless spigots directly from 60-gallon barrels in the climate-controlled main room.
