The 50 most romantic places in Temecula

Stopped by on Labor Day afternoon and had a great experience. The wine tasting is $25 per person for any six wines, which offered a nice variety to choose from. Seating is outdoors, surrounded by vineyard views and cooled by gentle breezes and mist fans—perfect for a relaxed afternoon. There was even a live country band playing, which added to the fun and lively atmosphere.

We have been members for about 9 years and 2025 is the first year that we have started to actively attend dinners and events. Everything is always great. From the wines and food to the staff and events, everything is always the best. This latest Sunset Sips is no different. Just an awesome experience as always. A special shout outs to Erica, Chris, Cameron, Conner, Nick, Josh, Star, and Nisreen for always being so welcoming. And thank you Cane and Rebecca for always making this feel like a home away from home. Attached are some of the events we have attended this year so far.

What can I say? Beginning with Star, our waitress who also doubles as a bartender, our experience was amazing. Sunday funday was an unexpected surprise given that we only wanted to stop by for an early dinner and to pick up our wine bottles. The ambiance and the merriment was enough to give us all a reset that we much needed from our daily drudgery. Faith in humanity restored!

Went on a Sunday, and it was just way too loud especially with the DJ set up so close to the dining tables. There was nonstop yelling, games, and raffles, making it hard to have a normal conversation or enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. Not sure if it’s always like this, but it definitely wasn’t a calm dining experience.

We’ve been going Miramonte for years and we have continued to be a part of their wine club because of the great service. The atmosphere, live music on the weekends, the location, and the food is bar none.

As always Miramonte Winery, bistro selection of food is very good. Their bbq chicken flatbread, harvest salad, hot wings, their special of the day- turkey sandwich with fries, were all delicious. Our servicer, Josh, was outstanding and very attentive, as well as Connor, with the wine tastings. We brings family and friends here and have always received amazingly delish entrees and appetizers and outstanding service. The ambiance and views during lunch time are awesome. Peaceful and serene. Keep up the good work and we thank you Miramonte Winery!

So much fun last night on Member Social. I brought my sister and we both won the raffle’s prize. Food and wine was amazing along with all your team members that gave us a good service. Thank you

Spent the day exploring Old Town Temecula! There are so many great restaurants to choose from, and the shops are really fun to browse through. You can definitely find something you’ll like—whether it’s a little trinket or something unique from one of the boutiques. They have a great mix of clothing and other cool finds you don’t see everywhere.

I totally am absolutely loved it, because it reminded me so much of Virginia city, which is an authentic Gold Rush town and looks pretty much like the old Temecula town. If you go on the main street, a lot of the buildings are still original, including modern-looking 1909 Temecula hotel is one of the original buildings that has not changed since 1897. You can still rent rooms that look identical to how they looked 130 years ago, with shared bathrooms for men and women. Right before hotel temecula, if you make a left into one of the alleys, you will find the original jail. look on the Temecula City website and they'll tell you which 10 buildings are still original from 1800, most of them around old town. Makes it a lot more fun to look at before and after photos to see how things changed. Photos of the tools are from the antique shop that's at the start of the street on the west side, and these are fully restored hand tools from the late 1800s.

Old Town Temecula has a great mix of history and local charm. Tons of unique shops, great food, wine tasting rooms, and live music on the weekends. It’s super walkable and always has something going on. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

First time ever visiting this place, loved going from business to business. Such a beautiful day love to help small businesses, we shopped and spent money great place great place to find new and interesting people and items. We will go again real soon.

Eh, it's just ok. One street with a few side streets. Stores are pretty one dimensional, there isn't any real variety, and the parking and transportation situation is dire.

Old Town Temcula is always a great place to visit but when you want to shop and eat there, you are in for a treat. Although parking is a challenge, as street parking and spots in town are often taken, there are a lot of parking lots away from the main street but in easy walking distance. There are lots of reasons to like this area, but for me it has to be the eclectic groups you find. The "bikers" and the "older folks" (my group) as well as the younger folks. They fill the pubs and cafes lining the main street and everyone seems happy, friendly, and having a great time. The atmosphere is positive and you can't help but being caught up in it. Don't take my word for it. Go there yourself. Anyone can read a review, but to go there, experience it and give your own review..... that's fantastic (older person term)

We were at a wedding on Saturday and decided to spend Sunday morning at Old Town Temecula. Breakfast at Rodeo Cafe where Omar waited on our group, he was super attentive and suggested the Ribeye breakfast (not on the menu)...cooked to perfection!!! A definitely "must try" if you're visiting. 👍🏼

Very unfriendly and rigid manager ruined family outing. We wanted to sit in the picnic area. It was completely empty. We were going to buy bottles and food but we wanted to eat our own cheese with the wine. They refused, made it uncomfortable and were completely uncompromising. We’ve always come here and done this. Always buy lots of wine. We’ll avoid this winery from now on and recommend to all our friends to do the same.

We came for the members dinner tonight and have been members here since the early 2000s. The venue had to change due to the weather conditions, but Wilson Creek Rose vacation and pivoted in high fashion. It was seamless and pulled off without looking like there was any effort. It’s a great tribute to why we joined winery and thank you again for an amazing night celebrating your 25th anniversary

We attended a wedding in the vineyard, followed by the reception at the winery (did not spend the night). OUTSTANDING! A beautiful venue with friendly and helpful staff. An added shout out to the wait staff team during cocktail hour and reception ... the entire team did a phenomenal job from start to finish.

I was so excited to photograph this company Christmas party. This winery was my dear friend's absolute favorite – he used to spoil me with their chocolate cups and almond champagne. Being able to work here as a photographer, I can confidently say the experience was everything I'd hoped for. It’s easy to see why this place held such a special spot in his heart; it certainly didn't disappoint.

We have frequented at least 3 different times for events and individual tasting. each time, wines were average at best and grounds had commercial vibes. Staff were pushing for purchase and usually inattentive. My family and I prefer visiting other nearby wineries for better taste, price, and service.

We came here on Friday morning around 11am for the winery. Best Value of wine tasting! We 2 tickets (1 ticket for 6 wines). Just pick up your glass, sit down in their patio seat & enjoy!

Excellent experience on the Regenerative Agriculture tractor tour and tasting. This was the first stop on our Grapeline tour and set a high bar for the day. Mike and Brian (& Mason) were great hosts and we will be back and recommend to others.

Let me just say, the food is great. To be totally honest, my biggest draw back was the wait. Luckily, I called ahead to reserve a spot in line(highly recommended). It was a 50 minute wait for a table. I recommend getting a glass of wine at the bar while you wait. When I was seated and placed my order, 2 pizzas, it took 40 minutes for the pizzas to reach the table. So, expect almost 2 hours before you eat. There were no h'orderves offered.(ex: bread or snacks). Conclusion, great food, nice ambience(a little small), great service, but the wait is dreadful. I gave some suggestions to lessen the pain. I would say, not totally worth it and the price is a little harsh. I would like to see more for my money, either less wait or snacks to may it less dreadful.

This place absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we walked in, the service was spot-on—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. You could tell the staff really cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. Now let’s talk about the food. Everything we ordered was incredible. The pizza crust was perfection—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside—with rich flavors and fresh toppings that tasted like they were pulled from a garden and tossed into a wood-fired oven that morning. We had a pizza loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and gooey cheese, and every bite was a dream. And that dip? Absolute magic. Bold, comforting, and topped with just the right amount of cheese—perfect for scooping up with their fresh, hot bread. You could honestly make a meal out of just that and walk away happy.

My husband and I finally tried Goat and Vine for lunch today after seeing it pop up on Yelp over and over--and wow, I'm so glad we did! I sent the link to my husband, and he immediately agreed (pretty sure the Italian-style pizzas were the deciding factor). The moment we walked in, I was impressed. The industrial-chic decor, and relaxed atmosphere make it such an inviting space to sit and enjoy a meal. We ordered the Butcher Shop Pizza--loaded with savory meats--and the Roast Turkey Bacon Avocado Melt, which was flavorful. To drink, I had the refreshing Watermelon Sangria (perfect balance of sweet and crisp), while my husband went for the God of Pour IPA. Both food and drinks were spot-on. Service was friendly and fast as well! This cute little restaurant in downtown Temecula is perfect for lunch dates, casual drinks, or even bringing the family. We're already planning to come back with the kiddos!

Amazing Pizza. This place gets a huge shoutout as their customer service was top notch. I called day of a family reunion for 15 pies and they were able to get everything ready on time and it was all spectacular. They have great prices especially when considering how delicious their pizzas taste. If you happen to dine in they have a good selection of bourbon and scotch and decent prices. Overall this place has tasty food and top notch service.

The GOAT & Vine is an absolute gem! We got takeout, and everything was fantastic. I tried the Hatch Chili Honey Chicken Stone Hearth Pizza, and it was possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had—amazing flavors and a perfect crust. My husband had a sandwich and he loved it. Even as takeout, everything was fresh and delicious. We can’t wait to order from here again and try more of the menu. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience at The Goat & Vine in Temecula! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt vibrant yet cozy -- a perfect blend of modern rustic and laid-back charm. The decor, warm lighting, and open bar setup made the whole space feel inviting and elevated without being stuffy. We ordered the Goat & Vine Salad and the Hatch Chile Honey Chicken Pizza, and both dishes absolutely delivered. The salad was so refreshing -- sweet strawberries, crisp greens, cherry tomatoes, and green onions tossed in a light vinaigrette, paired perfectly with a caramelized pecan-encrusted goat cheese. It was a great balance of flavors and textures. And that pizza... wow. The crust was beautifully blistered and airy, and the toppings were next-level. Juicy pulled chicken, roasted hatch chiles, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, and just the right drizzle of honey -- every bite was a perfect combo of savory, spicy, and a touch of sweet. You can tell the dough is made fresh and baked with care. Service was friendly and attentive, even with how busy it was. The whole dining experience felt thoughtful and well-executed. If you're in Temecula and want something beyond just wine tasting, this spot is a must. We'll definitely be back!

This place was absolutely lovely. Set inside an older building in. Temecula, California. It has overall charm and openness. The fire cooked pizzas were to die for! I had the hatch chili honey Chicken Sandwich on a pretzel roll which was delicious! I wasn't impressed with the chips.I wish it could have been house made fries. The house chardonnay went well with the sandwich. Cyrus was our server. He was attentive and did not interrupt with constant hovering which I cannot stand! It was pretty busy at lunch on a Monday. Pricing was good! All in all I would like to go back soon!

I had a wonderful experience at Callaway Winery! Although my aunt and I frequently dine at the restaurant, this was our first time visiting the tasting room—and it definitely won’t be our last. Amanda was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each wine in detail and helping us discover a few new favorites. Her warm and attentive service made our visit truly memorable. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up joining the wine club! We're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend

We have photographed several weddings here over the years and every one has been amazing! From a photographers viewpoint, this venue is stunning. No matter the time of day, there is always a beautiful spot for photos. The getting ready suites for the bride as well as the groom are both well lit and have enough space for everyone to get ready without feeling too cramped. Photos during golden hour at Callaway are a must, the sun setting over the hills is always beautiful and worth making time for. e cant wait to be back! IG @_themcfarlands_

Callaway Vineyard is proof that grapes live a better life than most of us. They get pampered in perfect rows, soaked in sunshine, and then transformed into wine that makes you forget about your boss, your bills, and the fact that you once thought boxed wine was fancy. The tasting room is gorgeous like, “I suddenly feel underdressed in my best Target outfit” gorgeous. Every sip had me convinced I was developing a sophisticated palate, though really I was just nodding like, “Yes, I totally taste the notes of… uh… fruit.” And the views? Unreal. You could be sipping straight grape juice and still feel like royalty with those rolling vineyards around you. So if you’re looking for a vineyard that’ll make you feel classy while you secretly try to figure out how many glasses it takes before you start talking to the vines, then Callaway is your spot.

We express our sincere appreciation to Tanya, Mariah, and the entire Callaway team for the exceptional service provided. Our wedding reception was exquisite, surpassing all expectations. The venue's stunning location and breathtaking views created a truly memorable ambiance. The cocktail hour outside the barrel room and the reception within the barrel room were flawlessly executed. We were particularly impressed by the event's efficiency and organization. The availability of bride and groom suites was a highly valued amenity. The food was delicious, the wine was excellent, and the service was consistently positive and professional. The seamless execution allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any concerns. We only regret the evening's conclusion. We also commend DJ Armando Quintero, aka QthemusicDJ, for his exceptional MC skills and music selection, which significantly contributed to the positive atmosphere. Thank you, Callaway, for creating an unforgettable experience.

New to the wine club and went to pick up my wine. Took my non wine drinking husband with me. Erin was absolutely awesome! When she found out he was a non wine drinker her response was “challenge accepted” She was very helpful, knew her stuff and most importantly made it so fun! In the end we found some wines that my husband truly liked! Winning! Huge thank you to Erin for being awesome! (and getting a so called non wine drinker to sit and enjoy wine with his wife!)

We had our dream wedding at Callaway Vineyard & Winery on April 12, and we cannot say enough good things about the entire experience! From the very beginning, we worked with Jenn, who helped us get everything started, and then Mariah, who guided us through the rest of the planning. Both were incredibly responsive, organized, and thoughtful, and the whole team was so helpful and accommodating every step of the way. A huge shoutout to our two fantastic bartenders, especially Laura—our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful and sweet she was! The service across the board was impeccable. The venue itself is absolutely picturesque. We toured over 10 venues in the Temecula area, and Callaway truly stood out for its beauty, flexibility, and the sense of ease we felt working with their team. We reached out to them in a bit of a pinch after running into issues with our previous venue in San Diego, and with just six months left to plan, Callaway welcomed us and made everything happen seamlessly. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors with stunning views, and then moved inside to the breathtaking barrel room for our reception. Beyond the full wine and bar options, there were so many thoughtful touches and special add-ons we were able to include. One huge perk: tables, chairs, and other essentials were included with the venue fee, saving us time and stress with outside rentals. It was also incredibly convenient to have two getting-ready rooms onsite for us and our wedding parties, which made the day run so smoothly. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we also want to highlight how much we appreciated the Callaway team going above and beyond to make us feel included and ensuring our guests felt welcomed and celebrated. It’s a magical venue with an incredible team, and we feel so lucky that we were able to celebrate our wedding here. If you're considering Callaway, do not hesitate!

Callaway Vineyard & Winery was hands-down the highlight of my wine tour in Temecula! The views were absolutely stunning—rolling vineyards, gorgeous skies, and a peaceful atmosphere that made the whole experience feel like a dream. The wine was exceptional—easily the best I had on the tour. Each pour was rich, flavorful, and thoughtfully selected. I was served by Amanda C. and a few other wonderful team members who made my visit truly special. They were warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, creating a welcoming and elevated experience from start to finish. I felt genuinely cared for as a guest, and it was clear that the staff not only loved what they do but also respected and supported one another. That kind of positive energy made the tasting even more enjoyable. I will absolutely return to Callaway the next time I’m in Temecula. If you're looking for great wine, breathtaking views, and a team that treats you like family, this is the place to be!

Dry wine lovers, this is for you! If I remember correctly, all of their white wines were dry. Loved that you can choose which wines you want in your flight. I went on a very hot day, but sitting out on the patio was still a great experience.

We tried the pool cafè and the special menu for Labor Day. BBQ Rib was 10/10 vesry soft, tender and yum with a side of bbq corn and pasta and coleslaws. The orange cocktail mojito was a hit 🔥 I gave 4 stars because they had us signed a paper for my fur baby to let her in! I thought that was not necessary.

This place is seriously underrated. Great service, the reds and whites are amazing. Please check it out for yourselves. It has a relaxing atmosphere if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Try it out!

A truly elevated wine tasting experience. This sister property to Ponte is more private, intimate, and sophisticated. Our party of three had a reservation for right when they opened. We were given a tour of the property before we did our tasting. We chose a charcuterie pairing and it was exceptional! Our server, Bernadette, was incredible. She recommended meat, cheese, and spread bites for each wine sip. It was an amazing flavor experience. We joined the club and will definitely be back!

We attended a special private event here a couple years ago. It seemed like such a great venue for the event and it ran very well and was so much fun. We have been driving by here saying we have to return while going to a couple other wineries we are members at. Well we finally put it in a plan and attended this spot for a tasting. We are glad we did. Our group of four ordered a flight of white and a flight of red for our visiting friends. I ordered a glass of one of my favorite reds and my wife a white. We enjoyed them all. In fact, we loved them enough along with the location to ask about club membership. Our server Nicholes was more than helpful. He explained everything about the membership and enough for us to consider losing one of our other wineries and adding this spot. Thanks for all your help and your 4 years experience stands out. Hope to see you again soon. If you are coming on a weekend you may want reservations. It is a little busy on weekends but we are fortunate enough to enjoy weekdays most of the time. This location has a beautiful view overlooking the valley and vineyards. This winery is unique in the sense it has a pool. For a few you can get a chair and umbrella located around this large pool with your own bath house for changing. We will be back soon and will then be members. We recommend this spot and look forward to our next time here

First winery we visited in Temecula and we loved it. The ambiance was perfect. The wines were top notch. And we had fantastic service from start to finish — shoutout Bernadette. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a chill beautiful ambiance while enjoying their wine. The flight was fairly priced. And the views were gorgeous. We liked that there weren’t any party bus/bachelorette crowds here. We made reservations the night before for The Deck — since we were non-members. Note, a lot of the spaces are reserved for members so book accordingly. But honestly thinking we might sign up for the membership because we can def see ourselves returning over & over. Next time will check out the pool/bar area — something different than the other wineries in town.

Came just for the pool experience, did a half day. Gets pricey very quick. It was a weekday so wasn’t busy at all. Very friendly staff. Very clean facility all around. food and drinks were both really food, again pricey but worth it when you’re sitting by a pool at a winery! Definitely recommend, children welcome, and I will definitely be returning.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We had a Groupon for a couples wine tasting, and it ended up being an amazing value. Our bartenders were super friendly, and the live music kept us entertained the whole time. The small appetizers were delicious, and we felt so welcomed, we left completely satisfied. We even took home a bottle of wine and can’t wait to relive the experience!

My wife and I love staying at the Inn at Churon Winery! The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a French cottage feel. Some king rooms have a whirlpool tub, gas fireplace and balcony to take in the lovely views of the Temecula Valley. Be sure to request one of those rooms. Weekend mornings, hot air balloons can be seen taking flight. The tasting room is quaint with a European village vibe. There was entertainment Friday night and bingo on Saturday while we were there. You can order food while tasting and grab a table which is a nice option. Our wine server Valerie was attentive and fun. The breakfast is amazing and served in the dining room or patio with delicious options such as French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Croissant sandwich or Omelette. Coffee, tea and water were also abundant. Our server Christopher was friendly, and attentive. The property grounds has several levels with tables, chairs and a couch here and there to take in the outdoors while enjoying a glass of wine and a snack. The GM Robert was always helpful and he made sure we received our complimentary bottle of wine and daily drink and breakfast tickets. There are no elevators or bell hops so if you need help with luggage going upstairs you can ask the front desk.

I took my wife to Churon Winery and we really had a good time sampling the different wines and snacks. Cuvee sparkling wine is a must try. We walked the grounds and enjoyed our visit. I would recommend Churon Winery if you like or love wine.

This has become my favorite winery in Temecula because of the atmosphere and one of my favorite wines. Everyone here is so friendly and knowledgeable. It's such a relaxed atmosphere here. The wines are amazing. Try the Sweet Ruby or one of their many flights. The special mix using white mango is delicious! The outside grounds and vineyards are so pretty as are their hotel rooms! We come to Churon first, and last every trip! Come see Dani and Valerie in the tasting room. They are the best!

Gorgeous, quiet and romantic! This is perfect for a quick getaway or an event location. It's close to many local wineries. The views are amazing during the day and at night the lights are beautiful. They offer breakfast and wine tasting. We will definitely be back!

We booked Churon Winery and Inn for our daughter's wedding celebration/renewal of vows. To say that Meilee was helpful is an understatement! She is a superstar! There were many times when we asked to make last minute changes to our site plan and she accommodated us with pleasure and kindness. The day of our event was spectacular! All the details were flawless! This venue goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make guests feel welcomed and special. The gazebo ceremony was the talk of our guests. They all said they have never seen such a beautiful view. To be able to then walk back up to our reception on the lovely patio and continue to take in all in was a dream! The staff who served us were amazing. They doted on our every need with enthusiasm. One of the incredible perks of booking with Churon was the food. Everything was cooked to perfection and was out-of-this-world delicious! I couldn't believe it for the price! We were lucky enough to stay at this inn twice in the past three weeks. The accommodations were comfortable and elegant. The views from our balcony took my breath away! Then there was the breakfast. Unbelievably good! Not a regular free continental one like in cheap hotels, but a REAL breakfast! My family owes Churon and especially Meilee much gratitude for making our event something we will never forget! Thank you!!!

Churon was simply the best. The venue was beautiful. But the best was Meilee. She was the venues event coordinator and she made the whole experience the best. She had a “can do” attitude. She found ways to make our experience the best. We pulled off our wedding in under 120 days. But no one would have ever known. The food was great. The rooms at the Inn are huge. I highly recommend.

The food was excellent. The Brie in sourdough bread was served hot and it had an amazing taste. The service was excellent . Salad was fresh and tasty. Sangria had too much ice, but, the taste was good . Excellent location and plenty of parking

I stopped into Maurice Car'rie recently with a group of girlfriends for lunch after wine tasting at nearby Halter Ranch (where they don't have food). They're best known (for good reason) for their famous garlic sourdough bread baked with Brie cheese...and of course, someone in our group ordered this to share with all! I had the pesto chicken pizza which was also amazing. The casual menu has something for everyone and the food is all great. Our group shared several bottles - Syrah, Rosé Grenache and one of the sparklings. It was a beautiful afternoon and we took over a big table on the covered outdoor side porch. The staff are all so friendly and helpful; service is excellent! We were fortunate enough to meet winemaker James through his adorable dog Milo who was running around in the grassy area. While talking to James, he graciously offered our group a very special port education and tasting from the barrel! What an absolute treat...and testament to the wonderful people who work at Maurice Car'rie!

It’s my daughters bday month celebration and I wanted to bring them here to enjoy a nice ambience and relaxing time. Everyone was very kind and attentive. The live band was so cool and played some awesome music! 10/10. For lunch we had tomato bisque bowl 10/10, clam chowder bowl 10/10, chicken panini pesto 6/10, Tuscan pasta 9/10. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely recommend everyone one to come at least once but I think after one time you will make this a frequent place. We also had boozy pop mango 10/10 and mangoneada 10/10. See you next time! Awesome place to visit for sure!

Me and my mother in law visited this Winery last Friday! It was my first time wine tasting and Alyssa was the best host. She took her time and answered all my questions with ease! I will definitely spread the word and be back! Thanks Alyssaaaaaa!!!!! ❤️

My husband and children took me here for a Mother’s Day lunch and it is absolutely gorgeous. The service was wonderful and laid back. The menu is simple and easy to order from. The food was great! Definitely going again!

If I could put this place at zero stars I would. I stopped here as part of a bachelorette party wine tour. I am a pregnant woman. After personally getting water for our entire table, I asked the bar if they had any n/a drinks, and all they had was soda—fine, but I didn’t want soda. Our party had paid for the amount of people in the party for transportation purchases, and the woman we were dealing with refused to give me a tasting glass and card, even though we had paid for it. I ended up convincing her to provide what we had paid for. I also wanted to taste the wines, so I took a small sip of each of the 5 glasses provided, likely less than ¼ of a wine glass total, which is completely safe in pregnancy. Then I would give the rest of my tasting glasses to women in the bridal party. I was verbally accosted by two tables while I was there. I was harshly judged. I overheard them talking about me and my body multiple times. Then, when I turned to say hello and explain that I was having tiny sips of each, I was told I was killing myself and my unborn baby. I had multiple complete strangers yelling in my face. I even had one man so bold as to RUDELY ask if I was having twins, presumably to make fun of the size of my stomach. No staff stepped in. No staff apologized to me. It was the worst service experience I have ever encountered. I would not recommend anyone visit this establishment.

This vineyard is a delightful, down-to-earth winery with great ambiance. It’s perfect for spending quality time with family or friends. You must try their famous brie cheese bread. Although it's a disappointment that they only offer pizza on weekends, be sure to indulge in their boozy pops!

I had my baby shower at Briar Rose and it was the most amazing day! Cecily was amazing in the planning process and completely nailed my “Baby in Bloom” vision. My guests said it was the most beautiful baby shower they have attended! I wouldn’t have changed a thing and I am so happy we decided to hold it there. I will now be planning my birthday party there again when I can actually enjoy wine 😊

We had such a great time at Briar Rose Winery. The ambiance feels cozy and inviting, the kind of place where you can actually relax and enjoy your wine. Our server, Melissa, was excellent friendly, attentive, and clearly knowledgeable about the wines. She made great recommendations that really fit our taste. The wine itself was outstanding smooth, balanced, and full of flavor. Every glass we tried was tasty, and it made the experience even better paired with the atmosphere and service. Briar Rose is definitely a spot we’d come back to and recommend to friends.

Dorian and Les are amazing hosts. The staff is phenomenal. The entire team will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.

My daughter’s Bridal Shower in June 29th was perfection. Cecily did an amazing job from the time I contacted her, until the end of the Shower. Cecily really listened to the vision we had and made it come alive. Her communication and response to questions was progressional and refreshing. Her pricing is fair and the food is good. The Decorations she put together was stunning. We can tell she puts her heart into all she did for us. Briar Rose Winery was a magical location, and the wine is delicious. All guests Social Media had so many people commenting off their posts. Everyone was so nice and we will never forget this day. Thank you Cecily. Julie & Samantha!

Amazing! Cannot wait to come back with the rest of our family. The wine was absolutely amazing, Lincoln and his grandmother were absolutely amazing.

If you are a Disney and a wine fan, you must come here! The outside of this winery looks like the Snow White and the seven dwarfs house! The original owner was a Disney Imagineer who did work at Disney. It is no longer owned by him but still looks so cute! It was hot the day we went, and it was the first Thursday that they were ever open on a Thursday, so he wasn’t ready to sit us inside, but all the tables outside were ready to roll, but it was 103° so we asked to please sit inside, and Lincoln was so accommodating and got it all set up for us so that we could sit in inside in the AC! Thank God! He was also really good at telling us all about the wines and the winery and was always ready for our next pour as three out of four of us did the wine sampling. We were excited to try the charcuterie, but he said delivery comes on Fridays and he did not have any, which is not his fault, but he’ let me grab some snacks from my car to bring in. It was just a little Chex mix I bought somewhere else, but I needed something with the food. This is such a fun place to go to and we basically had the place to ourselves! Next time I’m in Temecula I definitely wanna go back. I did the red wine sampling and my favorite was the 2017 Zinfandel.

Briar Rose winery was magic 🌟 For Labor Day weekend, I wanted to get away somewhere I hadn’t been before, but was in a short driving distance. I did some googling and found Snow White’s cottage. I am a HUGE original Disney fan (things from Walt’s time), so I knew I had to visit. When we arrived, even the parking lot had a view. You had a gorgeous view of all the vineyards below you, and Briar Rose itself was covered from the outside with this whimsical type of bush. You enter the bush and all of a sudden, you find yourself in Snow White’s garden, surrounded by her cute squirrel friends, wishing well, and her seven dwarves. The original quaint cottage was built in the 1970’s by Disney imagineer Beldon Fields. While working for Disney, Beldon collected bits and pieces of Disney artifacts which made their way into the cottage. Some tiles from Mr. Toads, a rock from Indiana Jones, and a lantern from Haunted Mansion make the grounds so much more special. Beauty aside, the wine tasting is delicious. We started out with a wonderful cracker and homemade cheese kit while we waited on our wine. We got one red wine tasting, and one white wine tasting before ordering a couple extra glasses to enjoy the scenery a bit longer. I cannot recommend Briar Rose enough! Delicious wine, knowledgeable staff, and a view to die for. I’ll be coming back to Temecula just to enjoy the winery. 🍷 Want more reviews? Find me on Instagram @Dining_With_Davi

This is truly a hidden gem in Old Town. The food is always great, the service is always lovely, and the vibe is here. We stop in on our way home from road trips and it’s always exactly what I want: fresh, tasty, memorable. We had a simple meal: chopped salad with steak, hamachi crudo, and a grilled chicken for the kids. The bloody Mary’s were amazing albeit a little more spicy than I can handle. ;)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5++) Absolutely fantastic! The food was beyond delicious, served quickly, and every bite was top-notch. The service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and fast. The bar inside is beautiful and well-stocked, and the whole place is spotless. Everything about this experience was exceptional. Highly recommended! Thank you, Small Barn!

Amazing brunch place. I loved all the outdoor decorations with the couches and the misters made a part to sit outside. My friend had the French toast with apricot which was magnificent. I have the eggs Benedict. It was enough to feed two people. I plan on taking my husband back here and we could probably share a plate. Very affordable with each plate costing $19. Out server was very attentive and checked in on us as well as giving us time to look at the menu. Can't say enough good things about this place.

My husband and I have walked by this place a few times and always said we’ll try it, and we finally gave it a shot last night, and I’m glad we did! We ordered the summer chopped salad with chicken added and a side of fries; both were delicious!! And for dinner, we shared the 12 oz New York steak; it came with delicious crispy potatoes and chimichurri sauce on top. I didn’t take a picture of it because I forgot, but it came out looking great! The atmosphere is nice; there is indoor seating or outdoor seating with heaters. The staff was very friendly as well. I recommend!

Really cool place with great outdoor seating. Solid wine menu and cocktail menu. Salmon was really good. Perfectly cooked. The potato au grautin was the star of the show though. So much flavor. Grilled artichokes were okay, the sauces they came with were fantastic. Great date place or with a group of people. Make sure to make a reservation

We booked reservations for Mother’s Day celebration. Our waitress hannah was attentive and made the best recommendations for our first time. The atmosphere is great + misters/shade for the hot weather! We ordered the steak & eggs, eggs your way, and quiche.

The best date place in Temecula. We are locals and have had a chance to sample just about everywhere. The owners are truly nice people and have created an atmosphere that makes everyone feel like a VIP. Last time the owner even brought out a special cookie for my eight year old. Have never had a bad time there and the food is always great. Make it a special evening and try their cocktails. Great place to bring someone special. Recommend

I went to pick up my club order and have lunch. I hadn’t seen it so busy but thankfully there’s plenty of parking. I chose to park further away and walk the beautiful grounds. So many delicious food options and wine or beer. The staff I interacted with was friendly and helpful. Beautiful weather to enjoy wine and food outdoors.

The grounds are beautiful and spacious. I believe it’s one of the newest wineries in the area! We enjoyed the live music, wine tasting, pizza, and gelato. It does get busy on weekends, but the multiple levels offer different experiences, which is a nice touch. We even bought a few bottles after tasting some great wines. I’d love to come back on a weekday when it’s a bit less crowded!

So I have been going to Europa Winery for many years now. A friend of mine first invited me to the French location when that's the only regional winery that existed. I ended up joining the winery at that time. Since then I've seen this winery grow over the years into the wonderful place that it is today. I was aware of the plans for this project 20+ years before they broke ground. So I'm so happy that i am able to experience all the fantastic varietals of wine they are producing now. I highly recommend planning a visit see the French, Spanish, and Italian properties all in one place. Don't forget the wine tasting as well. Also the restaurants for each region. Fantastic!! Great way to spend the day. So when do stop in i want to highlight a couple of special women that are very knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. Look for Betsy and Charity.

Our team spent a few days at Europa Village Wineries & Resort and it was perfect! The attention to detail, hospitality and quality was superb. They have created a magical feel with their design and concepts, and their staff was like family. I highly recommend this resort!

🌿 Europa Village — A Dream Destination Brought to Life Our wedding at Europa Village was nothing short of extraordinary — an experience that transcended the expectations of a typical California winery wedding. Split between Vienza and parts of Bolero, this venue is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design. From the moment you arrive, you can see the care and artistry that went into every stone, archway, and courtyard. The founders and their team clearly prioritized quality, authenticity, and architectural harmony. The seamless transition between the Spanish warmth of Bolero and the Italian romance of Vienza is a sensory journey in itself — it truly feels as though you’ve stepped from Temecula straight into Europe. 🍽 Culinary Excellence Beyond Compare And the food — oh, the food! Chef Hany and his team are, without exaggeration, culinary visionaries. Each of our events — the welcome party, cocktail hour, wedding reception, and farewell brunch — offered a distinct, unforgettable dining experience. Our welcome party was the perfect balance of elegant and lively, with interactive food stations and thoughtful bites that set the tone for an incredible weekend. The cocktail hour dazzled guests with luxurious touches — caviar, Italian classics, an artful charcuterie station, and inventive hors d’oeuvres that felt like a preview to something extraordinary. For our wedding dinner, we told Chef Hany that our goal was to create a meal that felt like family — a nod to my husband’s Italian roots, but with a twist that our guests would never forget. What he delivered was a six-course culinary journey that could rival any Michelin-starred experience. The pasta wheel service — prepared tableside by the executive chef himself — remains one of the most talked-about highlights of our wedding weekend. Finally, our farewell brunch paid tribute to my Hispanic and Spanish heritage, featuring handmade tortillas and the crown jewel — homemade menudo. Every dish was not only delicious but deeply personal, making the entire weekend a reflection of us as a couple. 🌟 Service on Par with a Five-Star Resort Europa Village’s customer service truly sets them apart. The level of attentiveness and professionalism mirrored that of a St. Regis resort. Throughout the weekend, their staff anticipated every need, often solving issues before they even reached us. Every guest — not just the bride and groom — felt cared for. Our family and friends still comment on how friendly, accommodating, and genuinely passionate the Europa team was. 💐 A Team That Made Magic Possible We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Heather El Guindy and her exceptional events team, who worked seamlessly alongside our event designer, Michelle Garibay. Ours was a large-scale, three-day celebration with countless moving parts, and it simply could not have been executed without their expertise, grace, and coordination. And, of course, a special shoutout to Max Lotorto, the mixology maestro behind our signature cocktails. As someone from the beverage industry, my husband had a clear vision for the bar program — and Max brought it to life flawlessly. Not only were the cocktails exquisite, but Max personally ensured we always had fresh drinks (and plenty of water!) throughout the evening. Europa Village will forever hold a special place in our hearts. It’s not just a venue — it’s a world-class destination that brings people together through architecture, flavor, and heartfelt hospitality.

**My review is solely based on the brunch experience** We love the Bolero restaurant and so we decided to try it for breakfast. On the weekends it's their Brunch only. I do wish we would have walked around first to make a decision but we stayed. There wasn't anything truly breakfast related other than an omelette station which was mediocre at best. Everything else was seafood or prime rib. Unfortunately we were hoping for more breakfast items so that was a bit disappointing. While the food was good, eating seafood at 10am in the morning wasn't what we were hoping for and it is very expensive if you aren't wanting that type of food. So if you're hoping for a good mix of typical breakfast items and lunch type items, this is not the place.

I visited the Members' Lounge on Friday, 5/30 with another couple. I have to say that it was by far the best experience we have ever had anywhere on the Europa premises. I don't often write reviews, but almost 2 weeks later, I still remember our amazing server, Alex. I feel I need to sing his praises! I have had a Magellan membership for years now, and this was the first time I really felt treated like a VIP. I wish I could request Alex every single time. He was extremely knowledgeable, sharing interesting tidbits about every wine he poured. Alex picked up pretty quickly as to what types of wines we preferred and customized our tastings beyond our expectations. He mentioned it was his first time serving and we could not believe it. Alex is a natural! Pleasant, knowledgeable, good sense of humor... thank you, Alex, for making it an amazing afternoon! My friends and I hope to see you again soon!

Wow, what an incredible weekend! We were swept off our feet by an unforgettable winery adventure. The excitement kicked off at a fantastic brewery, then we hopped aboard for an open-air journey to three spectacular wineries! Our amazing hostess was a walking encyclopedia of fun facts and local lore, showering us with insider tips for each delightful stop. And huge props to our awesome driver, who kept the good times rolling and the energy high! Seriously, there's no better way to explore wine country than feeling the breeze in your hair. Plus, they kept us fueled with tasty snacks and refreshing water between each vineyard. We danced, grooved to fantastic music, and soaked up every moment of a truly lovely weekend!

Shawna and Carlos were amazing! The cable car tour was so much fun, and we loved visiting three wonderful wineries with such a fantastic host and driver. The views were beautiful, the atmosphere was lively, and we even learned some new things along the way. We had an absolute blast and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this tour truly unforgettable!

Had such a great time on this Cable Car tour celebrating my friend’s birthday weekend! 10/10 recommend! We were picked up at our hotel and had tastings at 3 wineries (which was plenty). The music on the cable car was perfect for us. It was a beautiful day and the staff was so lovely. Thank you Adriana and Josh for a wonderful time! We loved the first two wineries, but the last fell short. Still would go again just for the ease, to enjoy some tastings, some food, beautiful scenery and being chauffeured in an awesome cable car! Hold on to your hats and hold down your skirts because it is a windy, but fun, ride.

Shawna was an exceptional host—attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone had everything they needed to enjoy the experience. Her energy really helped set a fun and welcoming tone. Rolando was equally fantastic, ensuring we all arrived at our destinations safely and on time. Their teamwork made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable!

Excellent experience. Each winery had unique ambience and offerings. Beautiful views and facilities unique to location. The 3 wineries on the tour provided with ample time to savor wines and grounds. Our host, Italia and Rolando, driver were excellent and attentive. I would recommend.

Great way to experience multiple wineries and tastings. Shawna and Rolando made sure we had an amazing time, they were super nice and got some history along the way. Highly recommend, especially if you don't know what to do and want to experience what Temecula has to offer!

We had an amazing time on the Temecula Cable Car Wine Tour! Carey and Carlos were the best hosts you could ask for. We loved the personal wine recommendations from Carey. And the wineries we visited - Callaway, Lorimar, and Akash - had great vibes, and most importantly, spectacular wines! We would recommend this tour to anyone! We are definitely bringing our friends and family the next time we are back in Temecula!

This place is garbage. Used to be an awesome & fun COUNTRY bar. Laid back environment. Now it’s a hip hop club pretty much. Better watch yourself too, security guards are intense. They kick you out with zero reason and seem to laugh & enjoy when they can get physically abusive. I get wanting to keep a safe environment, but this is over the top. And no I wasn’t drunk, I was the DD. Until this place goes back to being a true country bar with good country music and fun line dancing, stay away !!

My recent experience at Stampede was frustrating due to a lack of professional staff and poor management. After waiting in line for the mechanical bull for over 20 minutes (with the person in front of me waiting even longer), a staff member returned but helped a couple who had just arrived. When I brought this to her attention, she was unhelpful and rude. When a manager and security got involved, they refused to check the timestamps on our completed waivers, claiming they weren't valid because a staff member wasn't present when they were filled out. This was illogical, as the timestamps still proved we were there first. Both the manager and security seemed uninterested in resolving the issue fairly or honoring the time we had waited. They dismissed my concerns and showed no willingness to find a reasonable solution. It was a disheartening display of poor customer service. After walking away from the situation, I was thanked by the girl who was in front of me for speaking up for her, and was also told by other witnesses that I had their support in the situation. I ended up leaving without riding the bull, as I didn't want to support a business that treats its patrons this way. It's a shame, as the female staff at the entrance were very kind and professional, and most of your other staff are great. I am willing to speak with higher leadership to discuss this situation further and will adjust my review based on their response --- Update 9/14/25: Stampede did not respond to BBB regarding a request to be contacted and hear me out. No contact attempts were made by admin or staff, it's unfortunate to see a lack of effort on their side to resolve customer concerns.

Apparently their lazy staff closes the women’s restroom 40 minutes before closing and they tell you to go to the gas station. But they close at 2. Just to make it easier on themselves, terrible customer service Dave yourself the time this place is empty for a reason. It’s already super empty and lame. Bartender was the only reason they got one star he was cool

I wish I could give them 0 stars but a 1 star is the lowest review possible. I never write reviews, but this was probably the worst experience l've ever had in hospitality. This place is completely discriminatory, particularly towards Hispanics. I would even go as far as to call them racists. All of their staff was Caucasian, expect for one African American security guard. The night started when my wife and I decided to go there after our wedding with some of our guests. Once we arrived, they immediately denied us entry because they claimed my wife was "too intoxicated" and that "have higher standards at this establishment". This wasn't based on anything other than his opinion. My wife wasn't stumbling, slurring her words, or showing any sign of intoxication. I informed him that we are coming from our wedding and of course she has a few drinks but she wasn't drunk. She started getting snooty and l asked to speak to his manager. Once I explained the situation to the security manager, he even gave his employee a look like "come on dude, it's their wedding night" and he let us in if we promised not to consume alcohol. Within 5 minutes of us entering, they escorted one of our guests out for "being aggressive". However, there was no aggression present. My cousin had paid for the mechanical bull ride, signed the waiver, and as soon as he got on the bull, the employee told him to get off and start the process all over again. He explained that he already paid and filled out the waiver and she said "I didn't tell you to get on". After a few snarky comments, my cousin finally said something back and she had 3 security guards escort him out for being "aggressive". My cousin is a gay Mexican man weighing 120 pounds and is no way aggressive. This was about control. l asked to speak to the manager to find a middle ground and he was the worst of the lot. This manager was different from the security manager. This guy is also Caucasian, about 6'2", tattooed sleeves, and for lack of a better word, douchey attitude. When I asked why was he kicked out and if there was any middle ground we can find, he just smiled and said "I've never had any issues with this employee before and I'm not taking your cousins word over hers". I said "that's completely understandable as a manager, but that's only one side of the story. I've known my cousin longer than you've known your employee and I know he's not aggressive, so I in turn can't take her story over my cousins". His response was "you're being argumentative so guess what, you're kicked out too". I then said "it's our wedding day, and we brought 20 people to spend money and line dance here. Can't there be any middle ground?" He responded with "kick rocks". That's when I understood that he's the ring leader and why all other employees were acting the way they do. They think they can talk to guests however they want and kick you out if you call them out on their poor service. Since they kicked us out, all of our guests went to another bar down the street only to find out that manager called the surrounding bars telling them "don't let the bridal party in". We found this out when we arrived to next bar. Their security asked "are you the bridal party?" I said "yes" and he told us that the stampede manager called them to block our entry. But he said no way and let was kind enough to stay open after hours just for us. So to the smart ass manager at Stampede, looks like the jokes on you.

Been here several times. Always a good atmosphere regardless of whether you come with friends or just by yourself. Lots of line and partner dancing, very spacious. They make sure everything is run well

This has to be the worst security officers to exist. They should be careful with how they treat people, never know who you’re talking to. As a criminal attorney, I will be taking action against this company from what I experienced last night! They played their cards with me and Im here to win the game! Should’ve done a better job at being security not abusive! Good luck in court! Got it all on video thanks to a friend

We came here with a group of friends for an after-party celebration and were really disappointed with how we were treated. The woman running the mechanical bull was incredibly rude and acted very entitled. She spoke to customers in a disrespectful way and clearly had no interest in providing a good experience. When we tried to bring this up to management, they didn’t seem to care or even want to listen. For a place that’s meant to be fun and welcoming, the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy was really surprising. We were excited to celebrate here, but the attitude and disregard for customer experience completely ruined the vibe. Definitely won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re expecting good service or a friendly environment.

My favorite of the three wineries at the Europa Village. The ambience feels like you’re in France with the open garden and the food. I’m very excited for the construction that’s gonna be happening soon there. A French château! I think the red wines here at this place is my favorite of the three. Definitely a must visit

This was our first stop within the Europa Village and we loved it! I especially loved the Semillon Sauvignon Blanc and even bought a bottle! Paul was our server and he was amazing! We also had this lemoncello ice cream dessert that was really yummy and a charcuterie board from the food section that was for sale. The dessert was awesome. I highly recommend getting the Limoncello frozen ice cream dessert or the berry one! It’s the smallest of the three tasting rooms, but it’s still really cute and the garden is the cutest! This one had my favorite wines out of all of the wineries within Europa Village!

Had an amazing night listening to live music outside in the beautiful courtyard. There was plenty of shade and once the sun set there were heat lamps. The wine was great. The guest were fun. I highly recommend adding this one to your list.

Made a visit to this incredible boutique winery today, within the first 10 minutes, I had two employees walk up to me and ask if everything was going good, etc. Talk about impressive. Really seems like you’re in France here.

This is the “French” Part of Europa Village and offers a more personalized service for wine tasting compared to the bigger wineries in the area, so it’s a plus. The setting is quaint with the vineyards as backdrop and the well placed mistifiers provided comfort on a hot summer day. They serve the usual food you’ll expect to pair with your wine and if you want the full meal, walk to the Bolero, in the “Spanish” section of the village. I enjoyed the place, I’ll be back, but I cannot give it 5 stars to equate it with the Napa and Sonoma wineries.

We came here with our friends for a venue tour and it’s so beautiful! The food and service were great! One thing we noticed is their outdoor furniture is outdated and worn out in the garden and veranda. The cushions were dusty too. This area could be so much nicer if they had better and cleaner furniture.

The ladies at the wine tasting are super nice. My girlfriend and I are not experienced in wine, so they were cognizant of that and were helpful in their recommendations. We tried a flight on a Wednesday and Charity brought us an extra sip to enjoy at the vineyard. Excellent view as well!

Got engaged on the balloon tide in the morning. Had a two for one deal on wine tasting. Leo was very knowledgeable about his company's wine and others as well. This was my fiancé and my first wine tasting and LEO was able to assist with any and all questions. He made our first experience worth it and will be back to do again. Thanks Leo.

Family owned and operated vineyard and winery. Very small, 2,000 bottles a year. We are taking a bottle of their Rhône style Blend -The Republic, and a bottle of their Zinfandel. The young man behind the counter was very knowledgeable of their wines. If you want to visit a small vineyard with excellent wine, not a big fancy building but in a rural country setting then go and visit them. You won’t regret being there!

The definition of comfortable and down to Earth Space: only outdoor seating and I love it. Wjy come to a beautiful vineyard to stay in a bricked off room. Shaded seats via umbrella but I understand if it's a hot day (it was comfortable at 75f). Beautiful seating makes you feel like you're sitting in the garden, and a great overlook over the vineyard. Service: So friendly and chill. Nothing against the more "polished" locations, but casual clothed, friendly, knowledgeable and personable is great. Wines: Delish, unique wines. Everything was abovr average with a few standouts (Cab and Cabernet Franc). We were lucky to come on a day that they had a special tasting menu. A little more on the pricey end ($30 tasting and $16 pours) for Temecula but if you're looking for a great hidden gem, definitely a standout.

The wines are well presented and full of flavor. The vineyard and outdoor tasting area is delightful. My favorite was the Merlot, but you'll need to taste them all to make your own decision. Enjoy!

Overpriced. Lovely staff and pleasant ambience, fully outdoor. Wines on the tasting menu were quite average. They charge $45 for a 5-wine flight although they only had 4 kinds available so we did their flagship red Cowbell twice. You can do 6-wine tasting flights at pretty much any of the other wineries for around $20. Visit only if you would like to support a family owned small boutique producer, otherwise not a top pick.

Great service and amazing Guy Lemon wine. This place is great for all sorts of crowds including singles, couples, and groups. I'll definitely be back soon.

Such a great time here. Called ahead to find out more information but didn't get anyone on the phone so decided to just venture through anyway. Upon arriving into view of the vineyard I received a call back which set the mood for the entire experience. This small winery takes special care of each and every guest, making sure the story of each wine is shared as well explaining most anything to a novice wine drinker such as myself. With multiple terrace areas and seating, it felt quite intimate with passionate workers to share the fruits of the father/son's labor.

This place is amazing! Thank you so much for making Mother’s Day special. They got us in right away and the food came out super quick. Everything was fresh made, and tasted amazing. They put so much love and effort into making this day perfect. Thanks so much!!

As a former fine dining pastry chef with experience in Michelin Guide restaurants, I can say their pastries are genuinely good and their pancakes are outstanding. However, their savory menu falls short. My most recent visit was very disappointing — the food was overly greasy and heavy, the salmon overcooked and dry, and overall, it simply lacked flavor. Considering we were among the first customers on a weekend morning, I expected better quality and more attention to detail — especially something as basic as controlling the amount of fat in a dish. On the bright side, the coffee and service are excellent. I recommend visiting for their pastries, particularly the fig–vanilla donut, which was absolutely amazing.

First time here. Food was good. Had toast, eggs, bacon and potatoes. It was pretty tasty. Tried the churro donut, it was better than I expected. The cashier was distracted and didn’t acknowledge me for a few minutes, I just needed a to go box. All she said was I’ll be right with you. The other two workers did not seem to be happy with her. All 3 were not smiling. The first person who took our order was friendly! I appreciate that! I tried the Chai, it was okay.

First time trying this place and I was honestly impressed!! I got a vanilla latte (half sweet), a java chip donut, and an ABC bagel sandwich. The coffee wasn’t good at all but maybe that’s because I got it half sweet. I loved the donut and ABC bagel a lot. I only rate it 3 instead of 4 stars because it was super pricey! But overall solid breakfast and coffee spot in town

Eat Marketplace offers really good food with fresh flavors and a clean, inviting environment. The atmosphere makes it a pleasant spot to dine in. The only drawback is that the service tends to be on the slower side, which can be a bit frustrating if you’re in a hurry.

This isn't a speedy place to EAT at, but worth the wait for super good food with lots of local ingredients and house made practically everything. There coffee and teas are great as well along with all of their tasty gluten-free donuts cookie brownies and other desserts❣️

*TLDR* EAT Marketplace in Old Town Temecula is a charming spot with delicious pastries and a solid menu. Tip: There are two lines--one for pastries and to-go items, and another for food from the menu. My wife and I enjoyed a Sunday breakfast at EAT Marketplace, a cute and vibrant eatery located at the start of Old Town Temecula. This spot offers a tempting selection of pastries along with a fantastic food menu. We started by getting a bacon and cheese egg biscuit and a maple and pecan doughnut from the to-go line. Both were great, but the standout was the ABC bagel sandwich that we ordered from the food line. The toasty bread and high-quality ingredients made it our favorite, though we wished we had some hot sauce to pair with it. The maple and pecan doughnut was just the right amount of sweet, with the pecans adding a delightful crunch. We also appreciated the ample indoor and outdoor seating. Even though it was busy on a Sunday morning, we were lucky enough to grab a table outside and enjoy the views of Old Town Temecula. Overall, a great breakfast experience with good food, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of seating options.

We had such an incredible experience at Peltzwr Winery! The wines were fantastic, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the entire visit felt so special — but what really made it unforgettable was Chris V. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our tasting fun and personal. His passion for the wines and his genuine hospitality are truly unmatched. Chris is the main reason we decided to join as members — he made us feel so welcomed and excited to come back. We can’t wait for our next visit and to enjoy many more experiences here. Highly recommend asking for Chris if you visit — he’s the best! 🍷✨

We were extremely disappointed by our visit to Peltzer Ranch. Despite its reputation as a family-friendly destination, we found it to be anything but. The environment is surprisingly unwelcoming to children—and it feels intentional. There are rules posted everywhere, many of which seem specifically targeted at families with kids. Rather than creating a warm, inclusive experience, the signage gives off a strong "your kids aren't welcome here" vibe. As parents, it made us feel stressed and unwelcome from the moment we arrived. Even more frustrating was that the only child-friendly feature—the farm animal area—was completely closed during our weekday visit. There was no clear signage or advance notice on their website to suggest it wouldn’t be open. If you're marketing yourself as a place for families, why would you keep your only family-oriented attraction locked up during normal business hours? Overall, this place feels more like an adult wine bar that tolerates children rather than a true family destination. There are so many better, more welcoming spots in Temecula for families with young kids. We won’t be returning—and we wouldn’t recommend Peltzer Ranch to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed day with their children.

I went with my husband and two young kids. We all had a great time. The lower family friendly area was low key and relaxed, with food trucks, a bar, lawn games and jenga blocks that we could all enjoy. They could use more shade umbrellas but overall was a hit for us. The Chardonnay was a pleasant surprise! Senor Ceviche truck was amazing. They even us Capri suns at the bar because they knew who they were targeting. We’d totally do this again during the fall pumpkin patch season.

My wife and I used to live down the road in Winchester and miss being a wine club member with Peltzer. This winery is awesome and has a lot of great wines! We moved out of Cali in 2019 to Italy, then to Rhode Island, and now in Texas. Anyhow, I had a lot of wines from Peltzer in my wine collection. One of which is a 2015 Sauvignon Blanc which held up well through all the moving and just cracked it open today... so delicious still! 10 years old and tastes amazing! I have a few more reds left and look forward to trying them. Can't wait to visit SoCal again so we can stop by Peltzer 🍷

My husband and I just got married at Peltzer over the weekend and truly this venue is a dream come true. We were able to work with hope and Danielle and they couldn’t have been more attentive and helpful. This team made our wedding dreams come true. They are organized and incredibly kind. They go above and beyond not to mention the venue is absolutely stunning. Rustic and romantic with a brand new ceremony area that is jaw dropping gorgeous. We love this team and will come back and visit often 10/10 we are beyond happy. Ohhhh and the food - our guests are still raving about the entire weekend! We love everyone at Peltzer you are all amazing !!!!

Great wine and great service from Naomi, she took the time to explain each wine and did not rush us! She recommended us a couple of beers and wines to go with the food we ordered from their food truck! Ended up leaving with a couple of bottles! Definitely will be coming back for the white sangria and Naomi's service. They had live music which was excellent too!

The pumpkin event was a tragic disappointment. Non of the rest rooms had toilet paper or towels. None. People came out wet with no way to dry. The trash cans were so full. It was a stacking game just to use one. Folks ended up just throwing on the ground. I think the health dept should be notified. For such a public event. Never going back. I do not recommend this event. Zero stars if I could. The upstairs stage was empty no band and the ball room bar next door was closed. For the amount of money the make and charge for wine and pumpkin patch. I expect better service but as usual, like most businesses today it’s all about the money not the client. Looking for a different winery next year where the people are more important than the profit.

We had an amazing time at Akash Winery! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Roberto, who was not only friendly and personable but also incredibly knowledgeable about all of the wines. He took his time sharing the details of each pour, the rich history behind the winery, and even some fun stories behind how a few of the wines got their names—which added such a personal touch to the experience. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and the atmosphere was perfect—laid-back and inviting, with a DJ spinning soulful R&B inside that really set a fun and relaxing vibe. One of the highlights for us was trying caviar for the first time—a fun and unexpected treat that made our visit even more memorable! The winery itself is stunning. It’s a thoughtfully designed space, perfect for both intimate tastings and larger gatherings. We especially loved the comfortable outdoor lounge furniture with incredible views overlooking wine country. The wines were top-notch, with a great mix of whites, reds, and even a solid selection of library wines for those looking for something a little more special. Big thanks to Roberto for making our visit so special—we’re already looking forward to coming back! – Xavier & Venus

Walking into Akash Winery felt less like entering a tasting room and more like stumbling into someone’s dream mid-stride. Elly, awake and disarmingly warm, greeted me as if I’d been expected all along. No fuss, no script.. just pure organics… a simple question: What do you want to experience? I admitted it was a last minute whim. She didn’t blink. Instead, she crafted an introduction to Temecula wine country that might just ruin me for every other first pour. At the bar, Spencer and Jordan proved themselves more than bartenders..they were translators, interpreters of the grape, conspirators in the fine art of pairing. Their knowledge of blends, of balance, of how a charcuterie board could elevate a sip into a memory this was no sales pitch. It was conviction. It was the quiet religion of people who’ve decided wine is not a product but a language it was pretty Epic. Wandering the property, I found myself pulled toward the walls. Photographs intimate, textured, alive caught my eye, the way only honest art can. As a photographer, I couldn’t help but linger. The images told a story: a family that once only imagined these vines, a father who painted vineyards before planting them, a dream that hardened into soil and steel, and then through sheer sweat blossomed into reality. It wasn’t curated nostalgia. It was evidence. That’s what struck me most love, not polish. The kind of love that refuses shortcuts. The kind of love you can taste in the glass. Akash isn’t just a stop on the Temecula circuit; it’s a statement, a vineyard with soul. And for me, it’s the place I’ll keep returning to. If you want the truest Temecula experience, don’t look further. You’ve already arrived. So in short. Thank you. -Sidd Captures

Visited Akash Winery for a sunrise hot air balloon ride, and it was absolutely incredible! 🎈🍷 The views of Temecula Valley were stunning, the ride was smooth, and the whole experience felt magical. The staff were welcoming and professional, making the adventure even better. When we landed, they even offered complimentary snacks — such a sweet touch after floating over the vineyards! 🧺✨ Perfect location for couples, families, or anyone wanting a unique way to enjoy wine country. 🍇💫 Our kind of Halloween event — calm skies, warm sun, and lots of laughter! 🎃 Tips: ☀️ Bring a hat or something to cover your head — it gets hot right above the balloon burner! 👟 Wear comfy flat shoes. 📸 And don’t forget your camera (or a good selfie buddy)! Highly recommend adding this to your SoCal bucket list. #AkashWinery #TemeculaValley #HotAirBalloonAdventure #WineCountryMagic #HalloweenInTheSky

Amazing scenery and great wine!! But the service we received was absolutely amazing! This young lady(did not catch her name) that was serving our group went above and Beyond. She was super attentive, knowledgeable and had an amazing attitude and great smile. She made our experience that much better. Hopefully she gets recognized for her service to the establishment. We will definitely be back and will recommend this Winery to our friends.

Hosted our rehearsal dinner at the private patio in the vineyards and it was amazing. The actual space is unique and beautiful, and the staff was super helpful. It was a 10/10 experience for us and was a highlight for our guests. We catered through Bocconocini and the pizza was delicious, and they made extras before we left for us to take home. Cannot recommend more highly for hosting a private dinner/event.

My boyfriend and I originally went to Akash Winery just to use our member glasses before the month ended—but it turned into so much more than that! We were warmly welcomed by the team, and had the pleasure of being guided through a tasting by the winemaker himself, Robert. What we thought would be a quick visit turned into an incredible experience that completely shifted our perspective on Akash wines. Robert's knowledge and passion for winemaking shone through as he shared not just the wines, but the story, craft, and intention behind each pour. It was both educational and inspiring, elevating our appreciation for the artistry involved. This was truly an 11/10 experience. Huge thanks to Robert, Samantha, and Kathy for making it so memorable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

This winery was beautiful, the service and customer service was top tier and made me and my friends feel very welcomed. I was really impressed by the atmosphere and the wine and food were delicious as well. I want to acknowledge Christina who really made the day special. She’s truly a gem who made the experience exceptional

Bravo to Julian! He was our exceptional waiter tonight! His suggestions were on point as he ensured that our evening with our out of state friends knew why Nonno's is one of the best Italian restaurants in the nation. He checked on us throughout the meal to see if we were still happy! The rest of the supporting team was on top of things as well. We had the calamari and antipasto as starters and I highly suggest both. The reason why the antipasto is a must is that it is a great dish to share because it has salami, burrata cheese and greens like a salad. For our mains we had the evening special(s) of branzino and black ink seafood linguine. In addition, we had the ravioli and gnocchi which were also fabulous! The spumoni and tiramisu were excellent endings to an amazing evening. We are so lucky to have this fine Italian restaurant in our backyard. It's the go to place for special occasions and out of town friends and family.

We went on a trip to Temecula to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. The unexpected heavy rain had us feeling a bit down on the way there, but the food totally made up for it. Their pink vodka pasta is legit. And the balsamic vinegar sauce that comes with the bread? So good that I honestly wanted to go back to the kitchen and ask where they got it. (If anyone from the restaurant sees this, please let me know—I need it in my life.) Also, our server Suzy and the rest of the staff were super nice. Even though we walked in without a reservation, we still felt really welcomed. They definitely deserved a good tip!

★★★★★ Outstanding food, flawless service, and an amazing chef! Our experience at Nonno’s Ristorante was nothing short of incredible. We hosted a large celebration and everything from the menu to the atmosphere was on point. The food was delicious, and every guest raved about their meal. What impressed us most was the level of service: timely, kind, and beyond attentive. Not once did we have to ask for drink refills they were already on it! Big thanks to Chef Luigi, who organized everything through email with such professionalism. He truly went above and beyond. He’s not only a gifted chef but also a gracious host and hands-on owner. Highly recommend Nonno’s for any gathering or even just a quiet dinner. Five stars all the way!

We went here for my birthday, and we loved everything about this place. Our server was the sweetest person ever

Lobster ravioli and meatballs were absolutely amazing. Chicken Parmesan wasn’t at temperature had no crisp to it and was a little dry to be honest. Presentation was beautiful. Service was great. I love the place will be returning.

First time at the restaurant. Love the ambiance and service is excellent. I ordered Lasagna and it was delicious. Cheesecake for dessert. It was as delicious as the meal.

Exceptional! A quaint restaurant located in a strip mall that I’ve driven by hundreds of times. The food and service were exceptional. The small restaurant feels a bit crowded, but the food and service easily make up for any shortcomings in the seating. Highly recommended if you are looking for a 5-star Italian meal. This will not be my last visit to this hidden gem.

Such an amazing experience from start to finish! Highly recommend booking with this company. Our pilot Bill was great! Loved his "Dad" jokes. 10 outta 10!

Soaring Surprise! My husband pulled off the perfect birthday escape! He surprised me with a hot air balloon ride, and it truly lived up to the name. Everything went smoothly from the start. Parking was easy to find, and the staff were incredibly friendly during check-in. A shuttle took us to the launch site, where we met our pilot and driver, Pete. He was both knowledgeable and friendly, which put us at ease. The ride itself was breathtaking! We had panoramic views of the stunning scenery below. To make the birthday celebration even more special, my husband had gotten a birthday package. It included a fun photo op inside the balloon with a birthday sign and a delicious "Nothing Bundt Cake" treat waiting for me after we landed back at the launch site. We even had champagne to toast the occasion! This is an experience I highly recommend. It's something everyone should try at least once. I'm already planning to go again and take my parents for a special gift!

This was one of the most fun experiences my best friends and I have ever had. A bucket list for me and it did not disappoint. Bill (our pilot) was the best. He had a great attitude and a great sense of humor. He made the experience even better! Totally worth it I would recommend everyone to experience it!

My husband surprised me with a hot air balloon ride from the grape escape for my birthday. This experience was so amazing. We had so much fun. Such a beautiful experience. The whole crew was very friendly and fun. The crew made the experience more enjoyable and if you were nervous they really tried to put you at ease. The crew was very down to earth and tried to make our experience as good as they can by cracking jokes. I 100% recommend. Definitely a great memory to create with your loved one.

We booked this in order to celebrate our anniversary. Weather had been bad close by recently so 48 hours before we were to leave, I called and asked if we were still going. I was told yes. We had booked a hotel and we were excited. 3pm the day before I got a call, not enough people booked, so they wanted to move us to Sunday. I told them we couldn't afford another hotel room on top of it. They acted like it wasn't a big deal. They booked us a month later. I called another balloon company and they took us no issues. So I canceled this one.

Our flight crew was chipper and serviceable, and we had a superb balloon ride! The company’s communications and instructions were informative and practical, and there was no hassles. Pilot Rusty made the group experience a delight! I highly recommend this tour operator. From what I heard among fellow passengers, the company also seems the most fair-priced and straightforward. Keep UP the great work!!

My partner and I had a great time on our first ever hot air balloon flight with pilot Pete! He has 40+ yrs of experience and you could definitely tell- from his very smooth flying (including a 10/10 landing!) to his deep knowledge of balloons and the local area, its landmarks and history. Also, the crew that set up and took down these gigantic balloons were so impressive and efficient. Would recommend sending out the waivers ahead of time for review, kind of a lot to look through at 5 am.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this bar! It was a fun surprise to discover it’s a speakeasy. The drink menu was expansive with a wide variety of options. The server offered to also make us off menu stuff to fit our taste buds & she did not miss! The truffle chips & dip were delicious as an addition to our creative drinks. I loved the decor and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Loved this place!!! I had a terrible day and going to this place really turned it around. Peyton (Payton?) and her fellow bartender (I believe Eric was his name but I’m terrible with names, tall well groomed gentleman with dark hair) were awesome! Excellent service and conversation in addition to incredibly well crafted cocktails. My only regret is that I didn’t take more pics of the lovely decor inside. This spot is pretty far from where I live so not sure how often I’ll make it out but I encourage anyone wanting well made, not heinously expensive craft cocktails in a beautiful spot with slightly gothic + splash of western detailing to give Apparition Room a shot!

By far the best spot in Old Town Temecula for best-in-class, handcrafted cocktails. It can sometimes be a little challenging to get a reservation but the wait is worth it. With a wide and unique selection of bourbons, whiskeys and spirits, The Aparition room is worth a visit and certainly place you'll want to visit again. Cheers!

Decor made me feel like I was back on the east coast in Washington DC. The vibe not so much. Why is there a drink called the Conquistador on the menu? We are literally on indigenous land. Get yourself together and find better names for drinks. Wildly insensitive. Came here for the first time in October and again in February. This drink has been on your menu for at least 5 months now. Business operations could be better. Made a reservation for 7:45 and was not seated until 8:10. Food was not available when we were sat. There are very low expectations for bars here so I'm sure that's an advantage for this place for now. Really paying for the ambiance with your patience and time. Saw a Bachelorette party who also had reservations waiting past their time also.

What a great speakeasy in Downtown Temecula! Service was fantastic and the bartenders were absolute professionals at their craft! We both ordered a drink on the menu and then had the bartender make us something of rum and cinnamon/apple. They were both strong but tasty! Can’t wait to go back! We were lucky to get in without a reservation! We suggest making a reservation to visit AR! Highly recommend this establishment!

What a great vibe!! Dark and swanky. Make sure you text for a reservation - inside Devilicious. The drink menu is super creative. The Campfire Sour was amazing. Reasonable pricing for such a cool environment!

UPDATE: for a while and I mean years I had to stop frequenting this location. The original reason I loved this place was due to it's authenticity. After Tristan left the qality of the drinks and the experience was sub-par. after about 3 years I can say I LOVE THS PLACE AGAIN but this time for an entire different reason. A good bar manager changes everyting and there is a woman ( i feel folish for not getting her name) that knows her drinks and history. What she doesnt know she pulls out her notes and gets straight to figuring it out and that is AMAZING!! I was so hppy to have her take the helm and can start telling people to ABSOLUTELY go and check it out again! Don't lose her shes a keeper. Let this establishment suggest a spirit and really enjoy yor time here. A must see. You are paying for an experience. Please do not get this gem confused with a commercial style bar. I absolutely love speakeasies. So first it has a secret door and everything, my first thought was THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. You will step into be 20s and wish to never leave. The decor is gorgeous and the music is mood setting. When you sit you will be blessed to encounter Tristan!!! He is nothing less than perfection. He is beyond knowledgeable and does it so effortlessly without making you feel inept. I mean the man has got to be the most well informed bartender ever. He is not one of these guys throwing your drinks together and moving on to the next patron. EVERYONE is hanging onto his every word craving the stories behind each drink he is crafting. He is not your average bartender ppl and you will not be paying an average price. This place is pricey and for good reason. 13 dollars a drink sounds crazy until you actually walk in and see what you are getting. I'm a penny pincher and would save just to have this experience. You have to try this place out. Don't miss out. Once you come here you'll never see bars the same. It was like I was living the prohibition experience. Must try drinks Dead man's chest ($18) Wild wood, and a classic Whiskey sour. Not that out of the bottle foolishness. This is my new go to for drinks. It really changed my entire drinking experience.

This was such an amazing experience my husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a carriage ride with Temecula carriage company and we could not have asked for more it was perfect everything about this experience was beyond expectations and the family who owns this carriage company was wonderful. We will definitely be back as long as they continue to offer this beautiful experience thank you Temecula carriage company Monique.P

What a wonderful experience with this husband and wife business. Went on a carriage ride and visited 3 wineries. Amazing scenic and romantic ride with great company. Was provided complimentary snacks and water to accompany our ride. The tour guides are a husband and wife team. Engaged in pleasant conversation. If you go on a sunny day, bring sunscreen or a hat.

My family and I did the Santa's workshop carriage pick up and we loved it. The staff was great, the ranch is so nice and relaxing. We enjoyed the 15 minute adventure very much.

My husband and I took the 2 hour tour for our 17 year Anniversary. Katelyn and Arlene were very gracious and willing to take lots of photos for us. We had a picnic under a pergola and got to watch all the beautiful draft horses. It included a bottle of wine,, 2 souvenir glasses, meats, cheeses, and fruit. On the way back the dropped us off right in front of our bungalow at Carter Estates. I highly recommend this romantic tour.

Holiday carriage ride also experienced an Easter carriage ride. Kids were asked to match pictures throughout the ride, with visit to an area to pet animals, separate section for Easter egg hunt, pictures with Easter bunny - absolutely excellent.

I knew I was excited to have the Temecula Carriage Company at my wedding, but I didn't know how excited until I saw the horses! They were awesome! I had them take me into our wedding ceremony in the Cinderella Carriage, and it blew everyone away! Then, they took us around the property a couple times, once after the ceremony and again to the reception. They are awesome people (and horses)! I definitely recommend adding them to your event!

We went for their Easter EggHunt and my daughters went to Clydesdale Camp. Both experiences were amazing! Highly recommend!

Took My wife and daughters for a valentines carriage ride. Mark and his wife made the ride so special for my family. They even welcomed us to their ranch so that my girls can see the horses. Went beyond on what I asked. Thank you for the awesome valentines. We will definitely be coming back to see Mark.

This is definitely our favorite winery to come and hang out. The ambience is nice and they have inside and outdoor seating. Sometimes they have live music to enjoy. Sometimes they have a food truck or a vendor but you can also bring your food/snacks.

My wife and I decided to try a new winery last Tuesday and found ourselves at the beautiful Wiens Cellars. After nearly five years of living in Temecula, we’re always excited to discover new spots, and this one did not disappoint! Scott guided us through a fantastic tasting that we shared, and we were truly impressed by their selection. Their reds are complex and delicious, their whites are crisp and refreshing, and there’s something enjoyable for every palate in between. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Though we didn’t get a chance to explore the indoor space, the outdoor seating area was spacious and inviting—we’re already looking forward to coming back and enjoying it. Wiens Cellars is a perfect spot for a couples’ date, and we highly recommend it.

So many incredible wines with a beautiful atmosphere. You could tell this was the place everyone wanted to be. We were even lucky enough to be greeted by a full rainbow after enjoying the wine!

Dog friendly. Kid friendly. Presumably adult friendly, too, given the amount of wine involved. The Tasting Room is relaxed and comfortable—think “I could sit here all afternoon” comfortable. The Cellar Room patio offers the same laid-back vibe, plus you can bring your dog, which automatically makes the wine taste better. The outdoor spaces are spacious enough for kids to run around without knocking over anyone’s glass (a miracle in itself) and the scenery is as lovely as the wine list. Food trucks seem to rotate, which means your odds of variety are high, and your odds of disappointment are low. Highlights: the 2021 Herder Cabernet Sauvignon and 2023 Refugio Primitivo Futures. Both worth writing down so you don’t forget after your third pour. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable without making you feel like you need a degree in oenology to keep up. Five stars. Would sip again.

UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER I can’t tell you how many times I’ve visited since my review a year ago when I joined the wine club! Every visit has been worth the drive. Michael Hall is usually my wine expert, but the few times he wasn’t there we had someone nice too. He is always super knowledgeable about all wines, very personable with everyone around see him assisting, super patient with questions, and so much fun to chat with between pours.😊😊😊 This review is because we attended the kick off of the summer concert series! We had a large group and Michael, once again was an absolute joy!! The setup for these concerts was so cool! Tables on the lawn with umbrellas, open grass area near the stage, vendors setup around the perimeter, and live music before the concert even started! They thought of everything. They only had one food truck so options were limited, but I think they were expecting two more. The Summer Concert Series is a great way to spend your weekend so check it out if you can! I LOVE coming here even on a random weekday, but my favorite times are when they have great live music. ___________________________________________ This is always my favorite winery in the valley! This trip was no different, except I finally decided to join their wine club. Michael in the lounge was so nice! They had live music and the wines were wonderful. My favorite new find was the Malbec! The grounds are beautiful and they have multiple options for seating and tastings. I’m looking forward to returning very soon to experience some of the member only perks! If you’re visiting the area this is by far one of the BEST to experience dry sparkling and bold reds with lots of blends too!! I forgot to take pics.

love this place/ it’s like a 3rd space. sometimes you see old friends- AMAZING PIZZA 👌 the staff is incredible and i’ve mentioned several before but a big shout out to Melissa who is AMAZZZZZING- luv her, so fun, so positive! Bree- always classy, smiling, excited about what she is pouring- a total babe! Then omgosh have you heard Carrie Fontaine? and so many other incredible live bands and they are known by locals to have some of the most enjoyable red wines. Oh and Ashley- the manager is wonderful, patient, classy and kind. thanks to the amazing staff at weins who serve great wine with a smile love it there! matt and patti paulsen

Our first visit here yesterday was exquisite, beautiful! It was a great experience for our wine tasting because Sam is exceptional great. Great vibes, even if it's blazing hot outside. It's cool and relaxing in the pavilion while watching the live music. All the wines tasted so great. We will definitely go back here.💜💜💜

In town for a wedding here, what a beautiful place too. The wine was good, the dry ones were anyway, and the facility worked out great for an event. The ceremony was down a short path in a little meadow surrounded by tall cypress trees and was beautiful. It was 90+ degrees and looking into the setting sun but it was pretty. Dinner was upstairs on the patio and was good and fun to see the kids dance and have fun. The staff at the winery were very focused on pulling off the event and did a great job.

We had the best time with our two small kiddos at Falkner. We’ve been going to Temecula for years, and had never encountered so many other wineries who limited kids in their tasting rooms. It’s understandable, but Falkner made it really fun for us to hang out and we ended up becoming members thanks to the sweetest lady at the bar named Concetta. The wine was great and the vibe is very laid back and fun. They also open at 10 am (instead of 11) am so it’s a great place to start the day. Highly recommend!

We just had the most amazing wine tasting experience here with Jim! Jim has a slight accent from Denmark that is endearing but he was so attentive, informative and helpful. We've done ALOT of wine tasting but this was a rare experience of having such a knowledgeable person helping us. He knew so much about wines in general but especially Falkner wines and other vineyards in the area. Very impressive! I had no intention of joining their wine club but I did because he was so convincing and we are very glad we did.

My experience has been positive! I appreciate the extra customer service when the membership lounge was opened up for my group to enjoy our lunch before the restaurant closed. Great suggestion to enjoy lunch as to go and enjoy wine in a private setting. Thank you!

This winery exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly service and a stunning setting. The tasting experience was both fun and educational, and each wine was better than the last. The outdoor seating area made it easy to relax and soak up the scenery. We’ll definitely be coming back and can only hope Jim is our host once again! We are now members and super excited!

We planned a wedding at Faulkner for the sweetest couple (Haley & Dylan) over the summer and the Faulkner team was SO easy to work with. They were attentive, patient, fun, kind, and very on top of things! The wedding was a huge success thanks to their staff and willingness to help with anything at all :)

My recent dining experience at The Pinnacle Restaurant was a delightful one overall. The restaurant boasts delicious food, impeccable service, and a stunning panoramic view from our table. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and seated promptly. Let's talk about the food – it was absolutely divine! Each dish we ordered including the bread was bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. The chef's expertise truly shone through in every bite. Whether it was the perfectly seasoned salad or the delicate seafood pasta, every dish was a treat for the taste buds. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal without being intrusive, which added to the overall pleasant dining experience. However, there was one minor drawback that slightly detracted from an otherwise perfect lunch – the noise level. The wooden floors seemed to amplify the sound from other patrons' conversations or loud laughs, making conversation a bit difficult at times, especially when the restaurant was crowded. While the lively atmosphere added to the ambiance, it would have been nice to have a quieter environment for more intimate conversations. Overall, The Pinnacle Restaurant is definitely worth a visit for its delectable food, excellent service, and breathtaking views. Just be prepared for a bit of a noisy environment if you're sensitive to sound. Nonetheless, I would gladly return for another memorable dining experience.

Room atmosphere was beautiful, classy and elegant. The food was terrible. Carnival like Nachos with wine? The selection was terrible. The entertainment was overpowering for a cellar. Would not eat there again!

Excellent Service in a great location. The menu is great, in our party we had the Sirloin, the Salmon and the Tomato Bisque with the Grilled Cheese. They were all excellent. A great variety of drinks and the atmosphere is perfect.

Went there after wedding reception. It’s a nice and chic place for after party. To discover more, follow our instagram @gemislist

Would leave 0 stars if I could, and I work in the service industry so that says something. We ordered drinks and food when it wasn't crowded, but waited over 20 minutes for the wrong menu items to come out and still didn't have all of our drinks. We then waited another additional 30+ minutes and watched other people's food come out and had to ask about our orders multiple times as people in our party were ready to leave due to lack of service. We were then told it was taking so long because other larger parties started to show up. Problem is, the large parties all had their drinks and other tables around us who were here after us all got their food drinks and food no issues. When the "loaded fries" finally came to the table, we were unenthusiastic as it was the smallest portion of fries we've ever seen and was $12. After 3 people left our party due to drag and lack of service the last two of us finally got the rest of our food and drinks and the drink was completely botched. Will not be back. No one in our party will, and we will be sure to warn others in the valley when we serve them.

Great spot for cocktails, but I food and live music. Gets loud if crowded though. Decent apps too like Artichoke dip.

Quaint, quick & delicious spot for food & beverages in the basement of the Ponte Vineyard Inn. Sat at the bar, the Bartendar was very personable & made a delicious old-fashioned. The food was delicious, we had the pear Flatbread, Tuscan salad, charcuterie board & the short ribs entree. Highly recommend.

The Old Fashioned I had was exceptionally well-crafted.

As a Southern California wedding photographer, I can’t recommend Truffle Pig Winery enough as a stunning wedding venue. Its European-inspired charm, with the grand white building nestled among sprawling vineyards, creates a romantic and timeless vibe that’s a dream to capture. The bridal suite is a photographer’s paradise—flooded with natural light from large windows, it’s perfect for playing with light and shadow to create breathtaking bridal portraits. Navigating the venue is a breeze, with seamless transitions from the bridal suite to the ceremony site and reception space. The reception area’s towering ceilings lend a sense of grandeur without feeling overwhelming, striking the perfect balance for an intimate yet elegant atmosphere. The ceremony space is equally impressive, featuring a modern gazebo that’s incredibly versatile—whether adorned with lush florals or kept minimal, it’s a striking backdrop for photos.The staff at Truffle Pig Winery is exceptional, making every event run smoothly and collaborating beautifully with vendors. They work with some of my favorite DJs, and the food is absolutely phenomenal, adding to the overall experience. For night shots, this venue truly shines—offering endless creative opportunities to capture magical moments under the stars. Truffle Pig Winery is a photographer’s dream and a couple’s perfect day waiting to happen!—Jason Perryman

Had the pleasure of eating and touring the grounds at this beautiful winery during their soft opening. The food at Domenico’s Italian Chophouse (their restaurant) was incredible. Well thought out menu and everything from the starters to the dessert was on point. Brussels Sprouts were to die for. Best Rum Cake I’ve ever had! Service was great considering some of the staff was working their very first day. This place is a must if you’re in the Temecula Valley!!

Bright new spot in Temecula Wine Country: Domenico’s at the Truffle Pig. We brunches there last Sunday and was excellent, we can’t wait to go back ! Even though it is in a winery they have a bar and I really enjoyed starting off with a Bloody Mary. Bartender made it perfect. I had the eggs Benedict and my boyfriend had the heartier crab and polenta dish. Both were scrumptious. It was a Beautiful day on the patio with musicians playing lightly. A friend at our table orders the wedge salad which looked and tasted amazing .. on my list for next time for sure !

Beautiful winery and ambience! Definitely get the table side Ceasar salad! Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. Gave us great recommendations including the wine pairings. Also love the indoor/outdoor options. Very comfortable outdoor seating.

5 stars - New Temecula favorite! We had such a lovely lunch at Domenico's at Truffle Pig. We were seated right away on their beautiful patio near the olive tree and fountain; gorgeous setting, thoughtfully designed. I had the Limoncello Martini (bright and refreshing), and my fiancé had the Spicy Sicilian Sunset, good, but could use more heat. Maybe a tajín rim or some jalapeño? We split the grilled cheese with truffle butter and that gorgonzola tomato sauce... I honestly ate the sauce like soup. Unreal. My Caesar salad with salmon was perfectly portioned and cooked, and his fish tacos hit the spot--especially that chipotle aioli. Megan H. was our server and she was fantastic; friendly, helpful, and perfectly timed. We also met the manager, Jennifer, who was warm and welcoming. Great food, beautiful space, and thoughtful service. Can't wait to come back... hopefully for brunch soon!

We had the opportunity to have dinner there a few times and each time was the best dining experience we had in a long time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and Our waitress Madison was amazing! She was Very informative on each item on the menu. Food was the best and if you like presentation top notch for sure.

Avensole is by far my favorite of 2024. We even went to some of my old favorite wineries in the area and the service was lacking and honestly the wine wasn’t as good as I had remembered. Avensole was absolutely wonderful. The staff were helpful, kind, accommodating, and made the experience fun. It’s beautiful, spacious, and the wines were delicious! This was one of the only places I purchased some fantastic wines from throughout our vacation in Temecula. I was also in love with the wedding ceremony area outside. It was just gorgeous!

This spot has good for live music in the summer time. Inside the Barrel Room there is a juke box. Unfortunately the speakers are hard to hear toward the rear of the Barrel room. The servers were very friendly (shouts out to Jose Estrella)! There is a good selection of wines, and something for everyone!!

I LOVE-LOVE BEL VINO WINERY. WHEN YOU ARRIVE COUNT ON RELAXING AND STAY! Listen visitors and any guest if you are headed to the wine country of Temecula keep driving until you get to the sign (on the right) that reads BEL VINO. Up on that hill you will have the day and FUN that you are looking for. They have an outdoor stage and dance floor for you to just dance yourself away every Sat and Sun. There is entertainment events on Fridays as well check the website. Bel Vino Winery is elevated so that you can look out over the wine country. If it’s a hot day you mostly have a breeze up there. They make sure they have good bands that play a variety of music and it’s a place that you simply enjoy. The wine is good, the staff makes you feel so very welcomed, they have a vendor who cooks great BBQ (get ready for some good BBQ) and REALLY you will want to just kickback and spend your day there! I was just there with 137 guest who I invited for a day in the wine country at Bel Vino. THE WINERY OF CHOICE and let me tell you that’s where we all stayed no question and had a ball. Isn’t it something when all your guest love a particularly winery so much they all said, “we are staying right here”. I know you have choices but if you are reading this it’s a MUST to stop there. You will see why when you arrive! ENJOY!

We had a great experience. Went on a Monday and it was not crowded. Ben was our server and was very patient with our tasting and helped us find a perfect bottle to share. We bought a few to take with us and also joined the wine club. Looking forward to enjoying more of their wines in the future!!

Oh, Bel Vino Winery, where have you been all my life? This place is an absolute gem in the heart of Temecula! My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this vineyard while attending a wedding, and boy, were we in for a delightful surprise! From the moment we stepped foot on the premises, we were greeted with a cool atmosphere that felt like the perfect blend of sophistication and relaxation. The staff at Bel Vino Winery is simply top-notch. They have this magical ability to make you feel like you've been lifelong friends, even if you've just met. Kudos to their friendly and welcoming demeanor! Oh, the wine! It was like a symphony of flavors dancing on our taste buds. We tried several varieties, and each one was better than the last. The guys handling the wine sampling were not only knowledgeable but also hilarious. They had us laughing so hard that we almost spilled our glasses (gasp, the horror!). It's safe to say that they added an extra sparkle to our wine tasting experience. If you're a wine lover like me, you'll be ecstatic to learn about their wine club. Not only is it incredibly affordable, but they also offer free entertainment on weekends. Talk about a win-win situation! Sipping on delicious vino while being serenaded by live music is the stuff dreams are made of. However, a word of caution for parents: Bel Vino Winery has a strict policy regarding kids under 16. They only allow the little ones to grace their presence when there's a wedding going on. So, bring your kids along but only if you're prepared to crash a wedding (wink, wink). It's the kind of place that leaves you with a smile on your face, a warm feeling in your heart, and perhaps a slightly unsteady gait if you indulge in one too many glasses of their amazing wine (not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything). Whether you're attending a wedding or just looking for a fantastic winery experience, this place is an absolute must-visit. Cheers to Bel Vino and their dedication to crafting divine wines and creating unforgettable memories!

Overall I did not enjoy their wines, maybe you will? The woman helping us was friendly and nice, it was reasonably busy. By the end she encouraged us to do a double tasting and sit up top for a beautiful view. Only problem was limited shade and we ended by a speaker blaring early 2000s hits. I also didn’t think the double was really two tasting, oh well!

Great wines and fantastic service! Ben is amazing. He helped us find the perfect bottle and did a great job explaining all the wines and flavors! Highly recommend

The tasting room server was nice and knowledgeable. Nice grounds. A little disappointed in the chicken plate at the BBQ ... 2 legs!

One of our favorite wineries in the Temecula valley. Terrific reds, and love the dry Reisling. Great staff! My one complaint is their restaurant never seems to be open when we visit.

Excelent wine, service ! Doug took care of us! Came here for the first time and join as a member. Their wine is as good as french/California wine 👍🏼👍🏼

Went there Sunday for wine tasting. Don’t need reservations so really easy choice if you are suddenly in the mood to taste. Great grounds, wonderful ambience. Need a mask to go inside and plenty of seating outside to really enjoy the weather. Very dog friendly Tasting costs $20 for six pours. The white wines were all great (dry Riesling was particularly good). We enjoyed most of the reds as well. Stepped into Carols to see if they had a cheese plate or something easy to take out with the wines and they didn’t, but that wasn’t a big deal. Generally a great experience and highly recommend.

Another outstanding tasting at Baily Vineyards! Aged to perfection, the best experience in Temecula. Thanks Kelley for the excellent, personalized service you presented. Mike and Lynda (with a Y) from Prescott AZ.

This was my favorite winery during our weekend visit. The man pouring our wine was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable which I guess one would be when you've been there for 30 yrs! Wine was reasonably priced and we walked out with two bottles and loved the fact that we got to keep the glasses!

Nice grounds. Good deal on tastings. 6 for $20. Pretty small pours though. Nice area for the dogs. Wines tend to be on the dry side but the Serenity port was delicious.

Dog-friendly and COVID-safe! We stopped by with our dog to enjoy a tasting on a Saturday. No reservation is needed for the tasting room, but arrive before 4PM. As of Feb 20, 2021 tastings are $20 for six 6-oz pours. Wine is also available by the bottle/glass. You will need a mask to enter the tasting room itself to select your wine(s), and then will be asked to sit outside to drink. Well-behaved, on-leash dogs are allowed to accompany you. There's a nice little grassy area with tables to hang out in. The staff - especially Cindy - were very friendly and helpful. A great place to spend the afternoon sipping wine with your pup!

Went there for my birthday dinner. The steak and shrimp was great. Kids Max n cheese and burger were a hit. My halibut was a bit dry but the saffron sauce was heavenly! The couscous was delicious. The spinach was ok. I know it is not the biggest but they asked me if it was a special occasion and I replied to three different people that it was my birthday but they didn’t really do anything about it. It would have been nice to have them just sing happy birthday! Oh well, I guess I don’t recommend her if you want to feel special on a special day. But the food was good and the view was beautiful.

⭐ 3.5/5 – Decent Wines, Sometimes Light Pours This winery offers decent wines, but it’s not one of the top spots in the area. The wine is good, but nothing special—it’s drinkable, but sometimes the pours can feel a little light for the price. 🍷 The Wine: 3/5 The wines are fine but underwhelming. You get what you expect, but it doesn’t go above and beyond. The pour sizes can be a bit light, which makes it feel like you’re not getting the value you might expect for the cost. 🍽️ The Food: N/A There’s no food available here, which is a bit of a downside for those looking to spend a longer time at the winery. 🛎️ The Service: 3.5/5 The staff is friendly, but at times the experience can feel a bit rushed. It’s efficient, but lacks the personal touch that makes a great winery visit feel more special. 🏡 The Atmosphere: 3.5/5 The setting is nice—clean, well-maintained—but it doesn’t have the charm or warmth of some of the more intimate wineries in the area. It’s a good spot for a quick stop, but not the place for a cozy or memorable experience. 💰 The Verdict: Good, But Not Exceptional ✅ Decent wines ✅ Efficient service ✅ Good for a casual stop ❌ Pours can feel a little light for the price ❌ No food options ❌ Lacks a memorable atmosphere Would I come back? Maybe, but I’d try other places nearby first. There are better wineries in the area with more character and better value.

We had an outstanding dining experience at Ponte Restaurant. The scallops were perfectly prepared and full of flavor, and the mussels were exceptionally creative in both presentation and taste. The wine selection was superb, complementing each dish beautifully. Service was attentive and professional, with excellent attention to detail throughout the evening. It was the perfect setting to celebrate.

Lovely spot for lunch in Temecula. We were blessed with a beautiful day. Winery was beautiful and food was delicious. Wine was as well. Hope you have as beautiful of a day as we did 😊☀️ (mussels were our favorite dish! Unique flavor)

The one thing I noticed when I first visited Temecula, there are winery shops all over the city. Therefore, we felt that it’s only fitting to try wine tasting at least once before leaving the city 💯. We ended up doing this in Ponte Winery and it was a great decision. I thought this place was well maintained and the customer service was great! The pricing was also very reasonable. We got to try 6 different wines for just $30 per person 🍷👌🏼. It was definitely worth it. This place is more than just wine tasting, there is a pretty wedding venue through the backdoor. My girlfriend ended up spending an hour just taking pictures there 📸😂. I totally recommend this place if you are wine lovers.

We had the most incredible wedding at Ponte Winery in early October 2024, and we honestly can’t recommend it enough! The Spanish-style architecture was absolutely stunning, with its warm, rustic charm perfectly complementing the breathtaking views of the vineyard. The grapevines were just starting to turn, adding a beautiful touch of fall color that made the whole place feel like a dream. From the gorgeous outdoor ceremony spot to the lovely reception area, every corner of the venue felt like it was straight out of a fairytale. A huge thank you to Carly, the wedding coordinator, who made everything so effortless for us. From our first meeting, she was organized, reassuring, and just really on top of everything — we felt totally supported throughout the entire process. On the big day, Carly made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could just enjoy ourselves without a worry in the world. The food and wine were amazing, the staff was so friendly and attentive, and we had so many guests tell us how great everything was. Thanks to Ponte Winery and Carly, our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more.

This winery is the best winery around with a very comfortable atmosphere giving you a pleasureable experience to remember with your friends and loved ones. The wine tasting experience far surpassed any other winery I've been to and The chef "Chef Amen" is by far the best chef in the valley. With his own garden for his vegetables and spices he uses making the food simply delicious and very unique. The customer service and staff is very friendly and knowledgeable in the wine and food options they have available. I would recommend this place to any and everybody I know and I highly recommend the wood fired pizzas.

If I could, I would rate this experience higher than 5 stars. I’ve flown with this company twice: the first time with my husband and a year later with my mom (it was her dream!). Everything was absolutely perfect – these are true professionals. I was quite worried about safety, but everything was at the highest level. The entire team worked seamlessly together while being incredibly polite and friendly, sharing jokes and doing their best to make the flight comfortable and unforgettable. The scenery was breathtaking, and the ride was so smooth. My mom couldn’t stop smiling, and I felt completely at ease, knowing we were in good hands. From the seamless check-in process to the post-flight celebration with champagne, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. I’ll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend this company to anyone dreaming of a hot air balloon adventure!

Just did a private birthday flight yesterday. In a word it was amazing. In every way. Super friendly staff, very organized and easy going. The flight was spectacular. The owner of the company was our pilot. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the area, and during the flight gave a lot of fun details and facts. His son also flies. The equipment is nice, clean and the crew dealing with the balloons and other equipment are so fast efficient and even fun to watch. The whole process from getting the balloon out, inflated, flight, deflation, just so cool. The landing prosecco is a very nice touch. Highly highly recommend this company if you’re wanting a memorable hot air balloon flight.

This is my 2nd flight with David and it was amazing! He is so experienced and safety is #1, always! An added bonus, his team helped me in and out of the balloon basket, God bless them!😅 We did an early 70th celebration for my husband's birthday. It's a one in a life time experience and California Dreamin' gets 10 stars from us!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had an excellent time! Went for a birthday and was very nervous, but ended up loving it. Great company. Felt very safe the entire time. Dylan was an excellent pilot. 10/10 would recommend this company if you're thinking about doing a hot air balloon in Southern California. Great experience and would totally do it again.

I want to personally thank the California Dreamin team for being an amazing group of people. This was my first time ever flying on a hot air balloon with my boyfriend and they made this experience the best. Dylan was my pilot for the duration of the trip and we could have not asked for a better one even though I know all of the pilots are amazing. He was so knowledgeable about not only the landscape but also the mechanics of the hot air balloon. I’m usually very scared of heights but for some reason I felt so safe in this balloon and felt very safe with our pilot. 100/10 would recommend flying a hot air balloon with the California Dreamin team. Do not miss out on this experience. They are reasonably priced and you are paying for an experience that is out of this world with the best people.

Went this weekend. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Both my son and I had some unfounded fears, but not the 9 year old😆. Dave did a great job flying and barely felt the landing. His crew of helpers were great also.

Our guide was amazing. He’s had 40 years of experience and is a super calming presence + funny stories. We saw the most beautiful views and had plenty of laughter. Very safe and fun experience!

I am just amazed at how my girlfriend constantly find us all these random, but classy restaurants with delicious food (this was our first fancy Spanish restaurant) 🤷🏻‍♂️. I saw the prices on the menu and thought, "wow, this better be good because I would be spending at least $100 today!". Thank God I walked out of that restaurant feeling satisfied, it was totally worth it 💯👌🏼! I suggest making a reservation if you plan to dine in here because this place gets booked up pretty quickly (that was our experience at least)! The place was cozy, customer service was great, and the bathroom smelled pleasant and clean ✨. The food: - Cordero 🥩🥬 (9/10): This was a delicious meal. The fried lamb was juicy and seasoned to perfection, it wasn't too salty, and the kale was the icing on the cake because that was the first time I tasted "fried" kale, it was definitely an interesting experience. I deduct a point because I felt that the margin of diminishing returns had started kicking in just after eating my second piece (perhaps a little too oily?). - Seafood & Spanish Chorizo 🐟🍚🦐 (9/10): This was probably my favorite dish of the day. It is a must have. The rice aroma made the dish extra tasty. Although, I wish the rice could be drier! The seafood (shrimp, scallop, mussels and orange roughy) was mildly chewy, tender and rich in flavor! The seasoning was top-notch, and the portion was really generous! - Paella De Vegetales 🍄🥒 (10/10): This dish was like a perfect appetizer! The mushroom was chewy, and the zucchini was juicy. Although $38 for a mushroom dish might feel a little steep, it's definitely worth a try 💯👌🏼! Overall, this Spanish restaurant might not be budget friendly, but the experience and the quality of food might make it a worthy candidate to take your dates to 😁!

We came here for my best friend's bachelorette and absolutely fell in love. From the moment we walked in, Denis (the greeter that day) was incredible and so informative. He deserves a raise! The whole property is so lovely & we had a fabulous time - feels like you're transported to another country. Highly recommend. xx

We had a wonderful time at Bolero - both the ambiance and food were amazing. We were a large girls group visiting town and we experienced both friendly and accommodating staff members. One of the hostesses, Nataly, provided outstanding communication and customer service. Our server ,Keith, provided excellent service throughout our dining experience. I cannot say enough good things about our experience here!

We started with the wine tasting and the pourer was unfriendly and inattentive. It took 10 min to even get his attention to start the tasting even though he saw us right away. He didn’t explain anything about the tasting “rules” or the wines. With that being said, their wines are very good. We ate at Bolero restaurant and that was a disappointing experience. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was mediocre but the beef and chorizo sliders were delicious. The jicama wrapped Caesar salad was unique and had a nice presentation. Our waitress forgot about our main course of drunken shrimp and we waited over an hour for 4 pieces of toast with a shrimp on each. When she brought the dessert menu we asked about our main course and she went and got it. By that point the shrimp was hard as a rock and the toast had sat in the sauce so long it was soggy and gross. Between the wine tasting experience and the restaurant experience we wouldn’t return. There are so many wineries in the area and most are a much more pleasant experience.

We had an amazing time at the wine tasting rooms. Elijah was the best bartender and very knowledgeable about wine. He had excellent customer service and one of the reasons we’ll be back. Definitely recommend.

Dinner for two at Bolero restaurant . The ambiance inside was very pleasant . We arrived around 5 pm and were seated immediately . It got busy around 6pm . We started with brussel sprouts and potato croquettes - was absolutely delicious ! We were exited to try the chicken chorizo paella. What a disappointment 😞 The rice was undercook ( really hard) few pieces of chicken and ‘sausage’ cut into it, definitely not fried in the same pan . No crisp on the sides and rather tasteless . C’mon guys , if you claim to have a Spanish flair , at least prepare the staple in a traditional way !

This was our second experience and it is consistently amazing and wonderful! Matthew, our server went above and beyond for our party of 14. The table side tomahawk was some of the best food we have ever eaten. Everytime I visit Temecula this is on our must list.

Allergy friendly. I’m allergic to gluten and dairy and they were able to accommodate. We had an impromptu date here. It was our first time. Our server was Meghan and she was simply the best!! She was happy and food allergies didn’t phase her. We had the mussels, their gluten (and dairy) free bread. The sauce used on the mussels is my new favorite thing, and the gluten free bread was delicious! And a great carrier for the mussel sauce. The vibe of this place is amazing!! Definitely want to come back. Looking into doing a weekend here. Our server definitely made it a great experience.

We went to The Restaurant at Ponte for our 29th anniversary. We made reservation for lunch. We were seated right away. Our waitress, Cheyenne, was awesome from beginning to end. We ordered the steak and shrimp and the scallops entree. Both were excellent! Since it is part of the winery, we did see a lot of people with wine and the place looked really busy. We appreciated the waitress remembering that we came in for our anniversary and brought us anniversary ice cream and written on it was a “happy anniversary”. Overall it was an awesome experience being there for the first time!

Nice place. Food is delicious and wine tasting is good at all

Loved this winery! The service and atmosphere was amazing. I had the Polenta. It was delicious and all the flavors combined were perfection. My friend ordered the Sea Pasta and loved it as well. Beautiful restaurant for a party as well.

We had my bachelorette here and I can’t stop talking about how amazing everything was. The beauty of the restaurant with the gardens was amazing. Second our amazing server Jess was literally the best. I even spilled wine and she made sure we got taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about that woman. She made our whole experience. Having been to Temecula many times, I can’t believe I’ve never been here and will be coming back

Amazing food in beautiful setting. Very pricey but worth the dollar. The restaurant is in a beautiful winery. While waiting for our table, we walked around and enjoyed the beautiful landscaping and gardens. The restaurant is very busy. So our waiter was overwhelmed and wasn't able to provide proper service. At one point, he had 5 checks in his hands to different tables. Never the less, the food is so good that it's worth the wait. The portion is small, but the calories can be made up by the beautiful wine this winery offers. It's just such a luxury treat and experience. They have kids menu too and our kids loved the mac and cheese. This is a great spot for a special occasion.

I highly recommend this place. First, the waiter, Josh, was extremely professional kind, and attentive. I was blown out by the customer service in this restaurant. Second, the food was exquisite including that amazing bread they give before the food is ready. I wish I could buy some to take home. 😂 Finally, if that is not enough, the views of this place are totally breathtaking, so dreamy! 😍❤️ P/S: I took a bottle of their great wine home. 🍷❤️

Visited this winery with a party of 5 and had a wonderful time! We arrived around 3pm and it wasn’t too busy, nice relaxed vibe. The views were just amazing! It was really quiet, no noise from the road. We opted to getting a few bottles to drink vs. doing the tasting and that was a really nice experience. Both wines we chose (whites because it was super hot) were great and we stayed till they were closing. This place is just gorgeous, great wine, and great service. Would go again and would highly recommend to others in the area

We LOVE Leoness!!! Every single wine they make is so drinkable from the Cellar series to their Farmer’s selections! We recently were in and tasted two Zinfandels and both were delicious, different, but so good! We ALWAYS love the compilations! My favorite thing to do (after tasting in the tasting room with Vicki) is to sit on the lower patio and just enjoy the view!!!

We came in during the weekend and Heidi was amazing! She was very knowledgeable on the wine and answered all the questions that we had about the wine and also the membership. Her customer service is excellent! We’re excited to come back and hopefully see her again! Will be recommending to family and friends.

Wine a was wonderful land our food was even better! Delicious Bluefin Ahi appetizer followed by Scollops and Hamachi. For desert the best Bread Pudding we have ever had!

There were 6 of us having a fun girls day in wine country and Leoness was our first stop. Jalynne was our server and she was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! She made our visit so fun!! We had a great time!! Thank you Jalynne!!

Wow. Just wow. The atmosphere at this winery is truly beyond compare. The views are spectacular. The wines and variety of wines are not only extensive but exceptionally satisfying regardless of your preferences. The food is great, too! I had the burger which floored me because of the exceptional combination of flavors which complement each other exponentially. Definitely a place I intend to revisit!

Leoness was a sanctuary this Labor Day! Staff was amazing wine was excellent. Enjoyed most of our bottle on the upper patio. Enjoyed a great lunch at the patio restaurant. Mayra, our server, was pleasant, attentive and kind! Great couple of hours at Leoness!! Highly recommend!

The winery is unique with motorcycles and bicycles. I was on a wine bus tour. I gave it a three stars because I did not care for the way the wine tasting was set up. There were six of us on the tour and we did not have a choice of wines selection to taste. I don’t like whites nor did I want to try them. Their wine tasting selection was just not curated perfectly for red wine drinkers.

If you love motorcycles, you MUST check this place out. Whoever you come here with can enjoy decent wine while you explore the collection of classic motorcycles that are amassed here! Tried the Zin, which might have been a good match but stuck with the Cab-Sav which was quite good.

One of our favorite wineries in Temecula valley. It's not as big and commercial as some others which makes it more comfortable and approachable, and the wines are excellent. Stop by and look at all of the vintage racing motorcycles. The food Service on site is also very good, focused on brunch type dishes.

Great bold reds. My favorite was a smooth fruit forward Zinfandel on the Roso tasting although all their reds and even the sparkling wine was outstanding. Jacob the cowboy was a wonderful server and was one we would want again. Coming back as soon as possible!

We had such a wonderful experience at the winery thanks to Jacob! From the moment we arrived, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain each wine in a way that was both fun and easy to understand, and his recommendations were spot on. Jacob made the whole experience feel personal and special—he truly went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. If you’re visiting, ask for Jacob—you won’t be disappointed! 🍷👏. Just look for the guy with the cowboy hat!!

A beautifully presented and maintained winery in California, with a wonderful collection of antique motor bikes. Several areas for sitting and enjoying the food from the food can accompanied by great selection of wines to taste. The service was great with good explanations of each wine. An added bonus was the live music and the food and craft stalls set up around the winery. Best to make a reservation to enjoy the scenery, food and wine.

We were in the Temecula wine country as we often are. We went in one for wine pick up then planned to meet friends at another but had some spare time. We decided to give Doffo a try as we have seen it many times and have had several people tell us about the amazing motorcycle collection there but no one has ever said anything about the wine. Thought we would give it a try. Upon waking up it presents well with a relaxing environment. Inside the tasting area it was nice with a few collectibles. I asked and they were nice enough to open up the area full of motorcycles beautifully displayed. As far as the tastings go I think they fall short. Because we went to a different winery prior and we were going to another after we chose to split our 5 pour tasting. These 5 pours were the smallest I have ever received at a winery. Combined the 5 pours would not constitute a full single glass of wine ant it cost $41. Only one of these special reserve wines were something I would order a full glass. Tastings used to be something to find that special wine that you like but for the price of these tastings and only happy with one of the five why would I ever try another. Don’t think we will be back.

I’ve been to a lot of wineries in Temecula with living out here, but Robert Renzoni really stands out for how accommodating and genuine the staff are. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a welcomed guest, not just another customer. Everyone from the host at the front to the folks pouring behind the counter goes out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. They don’t rush you, they answer your questions without sounding rehearsed, and they really seem to love what they do. That energy makes a big difference. The wine is excellent. Whether you’re into bold reds or lighter whites, their selection hits across the board. Their Super Tuscan blends and Sangiovese are especially solid smooth, layered, and something you’ll want to take home. It’s clear they take pride in the process and keep the quality high. What really ties it all together is the location. The winery sits up on a hill with panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and hills. You get the feeling you’re somewhere special, not just another stop in wine country. It’s relaxed, beautiful, and a perfect place to slow down. Robert Renzoni is the kind of spot you go back to not just for the wine, but for how it makes you feel while you’re there.

Robert Renzoni Winery is a wonderful escape in Temecula. The food and wine are excellent, with a special nod to the burrata salad—it’s an absolute must-try! The Italian flavors are authentic and perfectly paired with their wine selection. The views are beautiful, with rolling vineyards that create such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It’s a great spot to unwind and enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, it’s a memorable experience with delicious food, fantastic wine, and a gorgeous setting. Highly recommend visiting!

If you are in the Temecula area, please make a trip to Robert Renzoni! We do every year when we come to Cali. Good food (Spicy Meatball Pizza was slammin!), great wine, and great staff! Fell hard for a new wine... Moscato D' Asti!! Can not believe how good it is. Go taste for yourself!

This one was not originally on our list to go to when we were in Temecula. It was recommended by a customer who was a local when we were at the Peltzer winery. The scenery as you drive up is really pretty. It’s in a very pretty building. There’s a restaurant right next-door to the wine tasting room. They have a patio that you can sit outside, but to get your next sample quickly you need to stand at the bar. But that’s how it is at every winery I found out pretty much. Pelzer was the only one that gave us a sheet to where we could order at the bar and then go sit at tables. Indoors. It was 112° out I swear! Anyway, I sampled the Prosecco, the big Fred’s red, the Barbara, the Tempranillo, the Sonata, the Concerto, the syrah, the old vine, Zinfandel, and the Paradiso dessert wine. These were all split between me and my friend. I liked the big Freds red and the old Zinfandel the best and even bought a bottle of each one of those. I love the pasta sauce that they served with the crackers or whatever they were so much that I bought a jar of their pasta sauce too. This was the second winery we went to all week where I enjoyed majority of the samples. The only one that beat this winery was Ponte and I became a member of that one because I didn’t have to do it annually and I only have to buy two bottles every other month. This wine club was a little bit more than that, or there was more to it. The lady that served us was amazing. Great customer service. She was the best her name was, Michelle!

Absolutely a must go to for anyone visiting Temecula. Wine is great, food fantastic. Ambience is great, visit Italy without taking a plane!

This winery was off the beaten path.. My sister showed it to us.. Absolutely beautiful! The wines were amazing and Sabina Ray was the best! I highly recommend going and tasting these 2 wines! Perfecto!

Atmosphere is excellent. Live music sometimes. Servers are very attentive. The sangria is worth it! Highly recommend.

Our wedding at this venue was truly a dream come true! The mountain views were absolutely breathtaking and created the most romantic, picture-perfect backdrop for our ceremony and celebration. The venue itself is gorgeous, spacious, peaceful, and beautifully maintained but what truly brought everything together was Jessica, our coordinator. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was in place. From managing the timeline to keeping everything running smoothly, she made our day feel effortless and stress-free. We’re so grateful for such a perfect day!

This review is long overdue, much needed and well deserved. My husband and I came in last month for wine tasting and was completely impressed with Mason. I decided to put my pallet in his hands, because I was having no luck at previous wineries. Mason treated us like we were the only person in the room, while still helping others. He memorized each wine that we tasted and what we did and did not like about it, so he knew what to serve us next. He stayed focused and took his time. In the end, we bought a couple bottles of wine and joined the wine Club. We came back recently with our two kids and Mason helped us again. Our kids were impressed by him as well. My son was the tough one! Mason was able to find a couple wines that he loved and of course, we all bought bottles of wine to take home. Thank you for having such an awesome, hardworking employee! He is the reason we are customers. We are looking forward to coming back again soon.

Amazing winery! My parents live nearby & we went spontaneously for a tasting. The grounds are stunning & it was very chill. Brian & Mason helped us choose our wines - spectacular service from both of them & an overall pleasant experience. We will definitely be coming back!

We stopped in here for a wine tasting while driving from LA to San Diego. It was absolutely amazing! The grounds are beautiful. The wine tasting was awesome- we got traded off between bartenders as they left for breaks. Both were awesome and helped us picked wines based on our tastes and preferences, not just random ones. The wines were all great and we got to try a bunch of new types.

Great winery and great wine, we tried the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and it was excellent! We had an opportunity to meet Master Cellar Mr Martin and he and the winery Host made us feel special and made our visit unforgettable!

Gorgeous Venue, But Severely Mismanaged Mount Palomar Winery may look beautiful, but the experience was anything but. I would strongly advise against booking this venue unless you're prepared to run your own wedding. From the start, communication was disorganized and unreliable. The coordinator repeatedly failed to answer basic questions, sent us information meant for another couple, and caused unnecessary stress in the weeks leading up to the event. This is unacceptable for any professional wedding venue. At the rehearsal, our own family members had to step in and coordinate due to the complete lack of direction. On the wedding day, the assigned coordinator was frequently missing, could not follow a simple timeline, and left multiple vendors frustrated with her unresponsiveness. There was a clear lack of professionalism, accountability, and care for what is supposed to be one of the most important days of a couple’s life. Beautiful views do not make up for poor execution. We expected better, and others should too.

10/10 service from Mannix, always a pleasure to see that he's working. There's great service and then there are great servers. Always so attentive and friendly. Bad service is something that will turn me away from a business, so I'll be going here as long as the good vibes keep up!

Wont rate the wine due to subjective nature, but the meat & cheese board had a surprisingly wide variety of great meats, cheeses, and fruits! Live music on a Saturday afternoon consisted of Diego... a solo violinist who was phenomenally good. Staff are great and helpful. The atmosphere was great as the patio seating was surrounded with grape-laden vines! We opted for the horse-drawn carriage ride from the neighboring vinyard, which really made it a great day ( the weather was 84 at 12pm).

Lorimar Winery is such a nice place to come for brunch! I came here for my friend’s birthday and we really enjoyed it. I recommend making a reservation if possible because it does get busy on the weekends. The food is reasonably priced with lots of options to choose from, which is great. One small piece of feedback: the pancakes could be presented a bit nicer, I did it myself for photo however maybe with a butter whip, fruit, and the syrup on the side. That would really elevate the dish. Overall, a very beautiful spot and worth visiting!

Great outdoor seating area. My wings were cold but they took them back and fixed my order. Staff was great, drinks were on point and band was interactive and fun. Vibe was AMAZING 👍 I’m definitely coming back.

We had a celebration at Lorimar Winery last week and had such a wonderful time! There was live music and a beautiful ambiance with gorgeous views out on the patio for our lunch. The food and wine were all so delicious and the staff was so kind! What truly stood out even more was the care of the Manager. I called ahead to see if they could accommodate one of our guests with a gluten allergy and they purchased gluten free bread just for them! The Manager personally brought out our food and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Overall, we had such a lovely time and I could not recommend Lorimar Vineyards and Winery enough!

Customer Service was Amazing. It made the experience 5 star. Ginger was an awesome hostess!! She was able to give insight on the wine flavors which was helpful because I was a first timer. She also had very inviting energy. The food did not taste that great and menu choices were very limited for some who is Gluten-Free. The overall ambiance was amazing. We were invited for the music and line dancing which was super. We are planning to come again. I am actually planning a date just to do wine tasting. I really enjoyed the openness of the winery, how up close we were to the vineyards.

Birthday weekend.. great raspberry sparkling wine and great food!!!! Good company

Best Reds in Temecula!! Lou, in the "members" area, is top drawer....always super friendly and helpful. We love this place!! 😀

Nice winery and great value tasting with live music in the general seating area. Beautiful views. At the Bistro, I surely recommend the flat iron steak sandwich which was prepared perfect. Comes with Side salad and delicious dressing

Great place to hang around for a weekend getaway. Nice backyard for wine tasting and only done side is need to walk back and forth TK get your own wine selection after one and another. Most wine tasting will bring all selections to your table. Overall great place to go for weekend getaway ✌️

Staff were very knowledgeable of the wine selection. Facility was overall clean, food was good. Outside dining with a beautiful view.

I love it. The wine taste was awesome. I loved it. Not so much about the food but the wine is cool.

My wife and I came into your winery for the first time on September 3 a little bit before noon. A very nice young lady named Julia or Julie helped us out on your presentation of wines. Very knowledgeable and helpful. My wife and I tried out your different wines and we had lunch. We enjoyed both our lunch selections and wine selections. Due to her knowledgeable suggestions and being a great representative of your establishment, we are now part of your membership family. We were not planning on any memberships at this present time, but because of your wonderful wines and especially because of Julia, we will be coming back often. Thank you so much.

Been a Black label member for a few years. We always seem to end up comparing other wineries to Monte De Oro. We have come across others that may have a few that are close , or better. But the distinction is in the amount of tastings per quarter included in the Black label membership. We live in illinois. Mary has been such a help thru the last few years. Becca and the others have also been great. If you are not stopping in please, for selfish reasons DON'T. But in all reality you are missing out on one of the best places on the valley. A best kept secret is hard to keep.

Great wine, great food, and a super friendly ambiance! I came with a couple of friends to grab a quick bite and some wine. I had the grille chicken gyro and house fries and we shared some hummus. Man, the food was amazing. In terms of the wines, we had the Cabernet Frac (great strong red) and Unique Elements (chilled and sweeter). The best late Saturday lunch ever! The views from the winery are to die for too. This is the place to bring a date or to chill with friends. Won't be disappointed.

Charcuterie & wine, must I say more? Yes, actually - to compete in Wine Country, there needs to be something that separates each winery from the next, and here, it’s the exceptional hospitality of their staff. You’re not just a one-time customer stopping by on your wine tour, when you’re here, you’re treated like family. I appreciate that it’s “less busy” (in a good way), it’s a bit farther down the road, so they get less traffic than the first vineyards to be seen on De Portola. Come here if you want a relaxed and laid-back luncheon with friends, or a sweet date night with your beloved.

The views, the wine, the food and ESPECIALLY Jason with JK trivia #OnSaturday made this the BEST winery experience in Temecula hands down. Have been to at least 10+ wineries in the region over the years and this place is a delight.

Amazing experience, very relaxed atmosphere, off the beaten path so less crowded! Great wine and amazing sandwiches.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade, even before they did all their renovations a long time ago. It’s always been my go to stop every time we’re in Temecula. I like sweet wines so I love their Peach Sangria and the Dulce Bubbly- so crisp and delicious! Yesterday, we just got 2 glasses and sat outside with our dog and it was a perfect day. I used to be a member, but didn’t find it necessary to have so much wine anymore. Their deli is really good! I love their pizzas, but the Napoletana Ice cream was ok. They are super dog friendly and I LOVE that! After we’re don here, there’s a short connecting path to Frangipani so that’s always our second spot! They really should do some sort of collaboration:)

I had a wonderful time here. The wine is delicious and the scenery is divine. I'm looking for to visiting again.

I enjoyed everything about this winery. The Service, wine, food, atmosphere and scenery were perfect. I cannot wait to visit.

Cougar is our favorite winery. It is smaller, with great views and good background music. It is not a noisy place which ee appreciate. Excellent to come woth friends to enjoy a good glass of wine and admire the beautiful surroundings. Good reds and even white whines. They make the pizza in house. Good service. Our pooch Flynn likes to relax outdoors.

A family run winery that has been in the same location since the early 1970's. One of the oldest in the Temecula Valley. As a wine club member for 30+ years, I am greeted when I come and treated like family, and I am not a local. They make excellent wine in small lots. And the prices are very reasonable. I am never disappointed. Come taste or grab a glass and sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the grape vines. Update: the wines are still excellent and the prices are low, especially compared with other wineries. They pour generously too. This can be your only stop in the Temecula Valley! Lots of changes but basically the same. They were sold to a very reputable Winery from Paso Robles, Halter Ranch. Hours are reduced, but fortunately no other big changes. They now include Halter Ranch wine in the tastings, and it's very good. The same staff is there to greet you and serve as they have for many years. Three new cats live there now. Long live Hart Winery!!! Well..... Hart is no more! Halter Ranch is getting rid of the Hart name and changing it to Halter Ranch Temecula. This year's harvest was sold. Wine club members were kicked off the Hart club and told they had to come pick up their wine quickly. Very cold and corporate. Lots of changes. I was hopeful (and promised) that things would stay the same but no! I'm hoping that things will revert back to the family atmosphere that has been. I have my doubts.

Hart Winery is one of the oldest wineries in Temecula and the first one on your left when driving down Rancho California Road on your way to wine country. It's a small operation, family owned & operated since 1980. We stopped in for our first visit on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in January 2020 and were delighted to find lots of great wine, helpful staff and friendly fellow tasters. You receive 6 pours for a very reasonable $15 (can purchase the Hart wine glass for $5) and the tasting room is open 7 days/week. We struck up conversations with wine club members who were incredibly knowledgeable about Hart wines and so supportive of the winery in general. Although the tasting room itself is small, there's a nice outdoor area with lots of seating. There's no food here, but you're welcome to bring picnic food to enjoy with your wine while taking in the beautiful views. Hart is clearly focused on producing small runs of high-quality wines. We especially enjoyed the Syrah and Zinfandel. People raved about their flagship Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé, both of which were already sold out. But that's ok, we now have a very good reason to come back in...with some cheese, crackers & fruit next time!

Stopped in for a wine tasting, and was pleasantly surprised! The woman at the wine bar advised us that this was the original winery in Temecula, and though the other wineries may have all the flash and big names, this location absolutely holds its own. Others can suffer from the “corporate” feel, but Hart has just that, heart. From handwritten chalkboard menus, to the wooden picnic tables outside, the place is completely charming. Admittedly these were not my favorite wines in Temecula, but the down home feeling of Hart made it worth the visit!

Beautiful winery with some very good Italian wines on the tasting menu. The 2019 Sangiovese, Barbera and Primitivo exceeded our expectations for Italian wines out of Italy. Give them a try!

They were able to provide good wines that had characteristics of each region they originate from... decent prices and a "wine club" discount as well. Wonderful views of the country and hills.

We went here years ago and always loved their reds but it’s been awhile . We visited this week and were reminded of the pleasant customer service. It’s a small, laid back casual place that is DOG FRIENDLY❤️! We are fans of dog friendly, whether we have ours or not .. we like petting other peoples too ! I wish I could say I loved their wine still but clearly the wine maker is not the same as I was not loving any of the choices I had. But it was only 20.00 a piece with 5 heavy tastes and we have the wine priority pass so it is BOGO which made it even better.. Overall sitting on the small rustic patio, listening to live music with friends and a taste of wine is always nice. Ps, you can bring your own food but they have a 28.00 pretty robust looking charcuterie to purchase as well and the views are lovely !!

Having become a wine member there is no doubt I like their wine. Not much to say about the place it is small, kind of lacking the right vibe. The patio areas need some love, it's just lifeless. Back to the wine...what I have found is later in the year the good stuff is sold out, sure wish I had more money to buy when released. As a member, I've never felt to be treated any differently. I wait and get the look just like everyone else. Not sure why the staff offers such unwelcoming service. Hart I hope you are listening. In the end, I do love the boutique wineries the best. Try this!

We had a breakfast there and the food was so yummy! And the staff were so friendly. Cool atmosphere! It is a good place to take friends and families for weekend activities! Will definitely go back!

After a scenic hike along the Flower Trail at Diamond Valley Lake with friends, we made our way to Fezeli Cellars Winery in Temecula for some well-deserved relaxation. The highlight of our visit was a bubbly white wine that was both floral and mysterious—absolutely delightful! We initially planned to try dishes from Baba Joon’s menu, but unfortunately, we arrived too late and the kitchen was closed. Instead, we headed downstairs for a casual bite and ended up having burgers and fries, which turned out to be quite satisfying. Despite the missed opportunity to try their kabobs, the overall experience was wonderful. The wine, the ambiance, and the company made it a memorable visit. We’re already looking forward to returning to Fezeli Cellars to finally enjoy Baba Joon’s offerings!

A really beautiful and unique winery with middle eastern influence. The food incorporated Persian flavors throughout and everything we tried was really excellent. The staff were so friendly and had great recommendations. Sunday brunch was absolutely incredible and I definitely recommend the mimosa if you want to take a break from wine tasting.

The food here was delicious!!! I would come back for the food! The wines were just okay. The best French toast I’ve had! Brioche bread!! Didn’t like the pork sauce they put on top but other then that it was sooo good. Portion sizes are great! The eggs were amazing also. Got the sweet wine flight and mixed. Didn’t like any really. Good friendly staff and beautiful winery. I rate this 4.6/5

Very beautiful views of the hills and the grape vines. Pet friendly, children are welcome; however, your choice. Brunch was good I had smoked salmon avocado toast, we were a party of 12. I tried most of the menu would recommend. Wait time for the food and drinks was a bit long. Our server was patient and friendly, gave us recommendation to plan our day at the winery.

Great place for wine tasting and buying them. Our bar tender, Lisa, was really friendly and knowledgeable. She explained each type of wine and had recommendations for each of us. They have great seating areas with beautiful views and live music. This was our second trip there, and we will be back again.

We went for lunch with a group of 14 people and the staff and servers were so attentive and friendly. It was Mothers day weekend and we had to make reservations in advance but we had the best table and view. Their food was delicious and wine was up to par. We loved this place and will come back soon.

An intimant wine tasting experience located on a hill top with views of vineyards on all sides. The sign out front says no dogs, but be carfeul you don't trip on the resident dog on your way into the tasting room. Enjoyed a decent merl/cab-sav/cab-franc they call Tre Fratelli. Nice place.

Was an ok spot, nice and quiet. Really wanted to compare their different wines, especially same varietals, side-by-side. When I requested our 2nd taster to be able to compare while we still had the 1st, I was told "We don't do that!" Um, isn't it what the customer would like?

8/20 - Chose this winery due to a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I were the only two there at the time, and the owner (Cindy) told us about each of the 5 wines we were tasting. All of them were red (which my girlfriend loves). I'm not much of wine person, but am learning. We brought home a bottle of the 2014 50/50 Blend which we will save for a special occasion. The grounds are beautiful, and wish we had more time to sit and take in the view.

went to 7 wineries here and this was the worst by far for ambience, cost (glasses more more expensive at 20 a glass), and they didn't have free water - it was 1 dollar for a bottle; everywhere else I went had free water I love boutique places but this didn't hit the mark and the 4.7 review is overblown

Family owned and operated Winery. Tucked away on a Tuscan-esq hilltop, surrounded by vines and beautiful countryside. Best find in the Temecula Valley! Wines are impeccable.

Such a lovely family owned business. We felt like the guests of honor as Darnell gave us the best recommendations for the area, facts about the wines, and poured us a tasty wine tasting. This spot was so peaceful and authentic and it felt as if we were in the Italian hills. Definitely one of the highlights our our wine tour.

Palumbo Family Vineyard is a small boutique Temecula Winery that is producing fantastic reds. You're also very likely to run into a Palumbo family member on your visit... the tasting room is simple and intimate, and they have a pretty picnic area adjacent to the tasting room that is situatated to overlook the vines. Do yourself a favor and don't miss Palumbo on your next visit!

Another beautiful addition to the area. The scenery makes me want to live out here. They have umbrellas that are adjustable, which made sitting in the sun not so bad. I burn within mins of being outside so the umbrella was a life saver. Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable of the wine selection. I am not a huge wine drinker but the wine was good, I had one favorite of the 3 that I tried. They had more limits to the wine tasting than other places I've tried, but the pour amount wasn't bad. I would absolutely come back next time I'm in the area.

EXCELLENT WINES!!! This boutique winery is located towards the back of one country, but very well situated with beautiful views, and incredible atmosphere, really excellent in every way. The wines are absolutely some of the best in all of Temecula. They had a food truck, which had gourmet artisan pizza too.

Harvest Mooners absolutely loved the food / wine pairing! Way beyond our expectations for our party of 30 - excellent food, service and wine… Thank you

Chapin is my favorite winery! And, trust me, I’ve been to a lot! I am a red girl, and Chapin has the best reds anywhere both in this country and out. Even though I live out of state, I have been a member for many years. Other wineries have come and gone, but Chapin is my staple! I visit several times a year to pick up my wine and enjoy a glass on their amazing deck. The property is absolutely beautiful, and everyone who works for this winery is top-notch.

Great selection of red wines. This is a smaller winery and I prefer coming here than to the other larger wineries in Temecula. You can take your time enjoying the wine and chatting with the friendly staff without feeling rushed or being in a loud room filled with people. They also allow you to bring outside food to eat at the picnic tables around the tasting areas.

Update 8/30/25: if you haven't been yet, you're doing yourself a disservice. We'll see you there! Update, 12/16/22: Wine Club members for several years now. Always a great visit, especially this time of year; the vines are red and gold and the sunsets are beautiful. Original: My favorite Family Owned winery in Temecula! Quaint and quiet with amazing views.

Chapin is a hidden gem in the Temecula Valley! Came here because I heard great things about their wines and wasn't disappointed. Highly suggest doing the Premium Tasting that includes 7 wines for $20. Enjoyed their wines, staff (Thanks Andrew & Nicole!) & their patio so much that we joined their wine club too!!!

This is always our second stop when we go to Temecula! There’s a short path that connect Frangipani to Cougar so we always come here too! I love that they’re super dog friendly and your dog could be inside or outside. We got the sangria and a rosé and they were both refreshing for a hot afternoon. We had a pesto sandwich and it was sooo good! I loved the focaccia bread and she said it was made fresh there along with the pesto. Our dog played with their dog named Liberty and it was really cute. The outside area is so cute because you can see all the little grapes growing right now.

Did not like their wines they had one good wine. They took soooooooooooo long to bring out the food for us and we only ordered a trio platter and it took 1.3 hrs to come out no I think longer we got there at 3:10 and left at 5:15 waiting for our trio platter that just had basic food no cheese nothing that needed to be cooked. I asked the waitress why it taking so long is because a bday group came in and they got back up. Idk if they took their ordered an and put us last but it seemed like that. Never again. Ruined our night. Do better, don’t let a small group wait so long just because we’re not complaining.

Great small winery. Unique wines, great place to relax and unwind. Go down to play Bocce in the lower court. Gorgeous views! There are not bad wines, just different preferences😉

When we visit our daughter (a wine club member), in California (we are from Illinois) we absolutely love coming to Frangipani. Their wine is amazing and Nick is wonderful. Love the Chardonnay and Sangiovese! All of their wines are amazing!!

Beautiful winery, showed up an hour before close but received a warm welcome. Friendly and knowledgeable Nick guided us through our wine tasting with relatable descriptors that just made the tasting memorable. Bought a fantastic grand cuvee.

This is such a great venue for a wedding! Our company, GoodFellas Taco Catering, catered a wedding here. The winery was so beautiful and the staff was so friendly. We hope to be back here soon! We offer Taco Catering, Appetizers, Drinks, Mexican Buffets, Kabob Catering, Build A Burger Bars, and lots more! Reach out to us to cater your next event at Frangipani Winery.

We visited this amazing winery for the second year in a row and it is still the best we have been to! The wine was amazing! Nick is super helpful and knowledgeable. The dog and cat were still angling for treats. We sat outdoor with our Trader Joe's treats and enjoyed some great wines: My husband's favorite is the Grenache.
