About this Event

On The Spot Dating Show at Orfila Winery

📅 Sunday, June 28th | ⏰ Doors at 1:30 PM, Show at 2:00 PM | 📍 Orfila Vineyards & Winery, Escondido

What is this?

It's a live dating show. At a winery. On a Sunday afternoon. In the middle of a vineyard!

-----

On The Spot Dating Show is part dating event, part social experiment and it always ends in same-night date nights where ghosting isn’t an option and spontaneity is rewarded.

San Diego singles are put on the spot and chemistry is put to the test, all in front of a live audience where matches are made in real time - "Love is Blind" style. One Chooser will lead a playful & intentional Q&A, asking three mystery contestants questions and then deciding which contestant they want to take out on a date that night (all without seeing them face-to-face)

**The dates for the couples who match will be free private wine tastings at the winery! 🍷🥰**

After the show? The floor opens up for a singles mixer: your chance to mingle, meet people, and enjoy the vineyard vibes with everyone else in the room.

🎉This is our first-ever daytime show, our first-ever winery show, and our first-ever Escondido show. So this one is very special! 🍷

Whether you’re in the hot seat or cheering from the crowd, it’s the perfect chance to connect, vibe, and maybe even spark something real.

Here’s how it works:

💘 Game Show: 2 rounds of game play in front of a audience. Each round, Choosers & Mystery Contestants, separated by a partition, are matched live on stage. Each match goes out on a date THAT NIGHT —no ghosting, no flaking, just instant opportunity for connection. The dates are sponsored by local partnering businesses, so that matches don't have to spend their own money on the date.
💬 Singles Mixer: fter the show, the floor opens up to everyone. Singles, non-singles, wine in hand, it's the best part of a party with none of the small talk dread.
🥂 Everyone’s invited: Come with your single friends, your partner, or solo! Whether you’re here to meet someone new, make friends, or just there for the entertainment, you’ll fit right in.

This is NOT speed dating.

We know, we know. But we promise, this is nothing like that!

On The Spot is about real people actually showing up, being present, and having a good time. No timers. No rotating tables. No forced awkward silences. Just good energy, good wine, and actually good conversations.

The Vibe

Outdoor vineyard setting. Rolling hills. Sunday afternoon sunshine. Orfila's wines in your hand. A crowd full of fun, social, single (and single-friendly) adults who all showed up on purpose.

It's the Sunday you've been waiting for all week!
