“BEST SANGRIA EVER!!! Really TOP WINES in Mission Cellars Winery. Nice and relaxing patios. Trent and his wife Sylvia are absolutely great. Highly recommended!“

“10 out of 10 for hospitality, kid friendly, food + wine and atmosphere. We’ve been to a lot of vineyards and this one stood out as so incredibly kid friendly and welcoming, from the tractor hay ride to the bouncy house and large fenced in field, we will definitely make this a regular stop! Thanks for having us, see you again soon!!“

“A very large group of us visited Sky Valley Cellars in December. The weather was exceptional, the wines were the best I’ve had as far as local vineyards and the views are just Beautiful,,,,The hospitality was the warmest, and I highly recommend this place.“

“What a delightful afternoon we had here! We did a 4-flight tasting with a choice between 6 white and 6 red varieties. The staff was so friendly, laid back, and helpful. We sat on the patio with a view of the valley listening to a musician play guitar and sing. Highly recommend this place!“

“Highland Valley has an impressive line-up of fantastic wines. Barbera, Zinfandel, Malbec, Cabernet. The Zinfandel and Malbec they are pouring right now are better than any wines I have ever had from Temecula. Just delicious. The views from the property are amazing. I love going here and you will too!“

“This place was really cool! We did the flight that tries all of their wine, highly recommend. Our favorite was the Whoa Jake! They had a very cute dog friendly patio. It was a really cool and chill vibe there. You can bring outside food, but note you can't bring outside drinks, so no splitting off to the brewery next door! All the wine we tried was excellent, we will definitely be back here.“

“Really beautiful wines and a gorgeous view. We loved everything poured, reds and whites.
The winery is located up a relatively bumpy road past a sign reading "dead end, private road". You're going the right way with a great reward at the top!“

“Great atmosphere and tasty wine! You get the best views when you visit this winery! love it 😀“

“We had a wonderful time wine tasting. Great experience all around and delightful conversation with Marilyn.“

“This is an amazing winery. Stumbled upon this gem after spending the day at the Safari Zoo Park. Wonderful wines (didn’t taste a bad one and hard to choose a favorite) and ambiance. Loved it so much that we became members of the Thirsty Kettle Club and shipped 6 fabulous bottles home. We spent some time talking w the owner, Jeannine…so personable and a true class act. Told us of the story of how they came about, what an incredible family story. To Mike the winemaker: great job!! Your bottles are fabulous!!! ❤️“

“Been driving by this Winery for the last several years and decided to stop. Sure glad we did. Proprietor is a very interesting gentleman to talk to. A lot of very interesting artifacts on the property. Couldn't choose which wine to buy so purchased 4 different bottles. Can't wait to go back.“

“Amazing! Our favorite place in Ramona. Alfredo treated us like family. The wines are unique and so clean — we did not experience headaches. We can’t drink wine bc of sensitivity to sulfates and additives. We each had 2 glasses and felt wonderful. No headaches! It’s a gem of a place. The real deal 🍷“

“Andy’s reds are superb! A must taste!“

“LOVE going to Mia Marie’s for an afternoon with friends. The atmosphere and view are incredible and the wine is fabulous. On weekends they have live music and wine vendors and we never feel like they’re so busy we have a “2 hour table limit”. Their staff is all incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and the tasting events are fantastic. We stay, we drink, we hang, we enjoy the scenery and music, and it’s always an amazing time.“

“My husband brought me here for my Birthday. I absolutely loved the service. The whole staff. They are family oriented and I love the togetherness. I also loved the Air Bnb and the bath soap is the bomb. Lol. We will for sure be coming back, perhaps for our anniversary. Great scenery. Great service.“

“Outstanding wine and proprietors of this wonderful winery. Richly rewarded over the years for their great wines, they also provide a great space to enjoy your wine and a cheese plate, or some live music some evening, or a crafty fair. Many events are hosted here. Kind people and good times. Highly recommended.“

“What a great restaurant at the Bernardo Winery. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends for lunch before walking around the cute winery and do some shopping in the boutiques on site.

There are lots of outdoor tables to choose from and most are shaded. It opens at 11am and it was busy soon after. We went on a weekday too.
You can get wines from the tasting room or delicious coffee from Manzanita next door.

You order from the counter and your food will be delivered to your table. Everything we had was delicious though the pizza was a little on the burnt side from the wood fired oven.

Parking: There are two small parking lots and plenty of street parking.“

“I very much enjoyed my visit there last Sunday. The wine was very good, and the live music with Dora Bonaventura was wonderful. The evening ended with a gorgeous sunset.“

“What I think is happening with all the 5 star reviews for this winery is that they're all based on the Art and atmosphere. Which are incredible and I definitely encourage everyone to check this winery out for that sole purpose. However, one must also leave a review in regards to service and the wine itself. Upon finding the random corner for a tasting, the guy said it was over and the two remaining bottles on the counter was what was left. I asked if I could purchase a new bottle and he said he would open it up and let us buy a glass. We finally sat down to enjoy our wine and I refrained from spitting it up on the ground. It was horrible! I would give this place 3 stars if it weren't for the unique surprise and surroundings. See this winery, yes. Drink the wine, if you're used to box wine from your youth I suppose.“
