Thank you to Travis for the excellent service! We went for a birthday brunch and his genuine hospitality was evident throughout the meal. He was patient and kind helping my mom select the right bubbly, which was greatly appreciated.

Lisa is the very best at customer service! A rare gem! Always request her by name! Great brunch . Very fond of the Natural sparkling wine. Love bone dry.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Thornton Winery. We shared the Cafe Champagne salad, which we both loved. For our entrees, we chose the filet mignon and the braised short rib. Both were excellent. Service could have been a bit more attentive, but overall, we had a very positive experience, and we would definitely return.

Celebrated my birthday with friends. We had a reservation, but frankly, the place was deserted on a Monday afternoon. They closed the Cafe Restaurant and seated us instead up on the patio outside the gift shop. It was a nice enough area. Our server was nice and knew the menu well. The champagne and wine flights were fun. The beverages were good. Two of us had the beef short rib in red wine sauce. Mashed potatoes and some young veggies were included. Very tasty meal. The saucer was really good and the beef was very tender, although a bit dry. The other entree was a beautiful serving of fresh salmon with a white sauce. Came with the same potatoes and veggies. My friend ate the whole portion. She said it was so very good. We had two desserts - Death by Chocolate cake and caramel bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Both were good. We enjoyed being outdoors in beautiful Temecula and had a really nice lunch.

I highly recommend this winery. We were there on a Sunday for brunch. Had the sea bass special and mimosa. Great saxophone music artist.

The location was beautiful looking over here vineyards. The service was very good, and it was a wonderful experience having never been to the Temecula wine country. The food was very enjoyable. The wine was disappointing. Having experienced the wines of Napa and Sonoma, Temecula has a way to go to meet wine expectations.

Thornton isn't what it used to be to be. Service and food were mediocre. My wife and I were disappointed last time we visited and we gave a two year break. We went back and it appeared to decline even more. This winery for us is on the two year list.

Great outdoor venue with fun dj music for weekend brunch. Champagne flight tasting is a must and the food is super yummy too!

Honestly, this place could be so much better. It is in a beautiful location and has plenty of space. However, the food isn't good. I ordered a Caesar Salad, which is hard to mess up but there wasn't anything spectacular about it. I'd give it a 2/5. Then I ordered the special, the chilled seafood platter. It was God awful. It was probably half my fault for ordering seafood in the middle of wine country, but I figured it had to be fresh because it was the daily special. It was so gross. The crab legs were watery and flavorless. I also wasn't too sure of the claws, as the meat had a weird consistency. I would not recommend this restaurant, there has to be better options. My gf ordered the filet mignon, which again, was subpar.
I took my friend there to celebrate her birthday. We had a very relaxing time. It was a great experience.

Three of us had lunch today. One the vegan burger, two the turkey sandwich, and three large chef salad. All were excellent. And the staff and Service there was off the charts excellent. So friendly so helpful. We had a wonderful afternoon.

Was expecting better quality in the food served for the price. Some items such as the seafood and prime rib were a good value. The rest of the food was just mediocre and I was really expecting more for $125 a person..

Came for Easter brunch, will ABSOLUTELY come back! Food was phenomenal, fresh vegetables and fruit complemented a fantastic selection, patio was gorgeous and the musician was incredible. 11/10, no joke, literally exceeded expectations in every regard. Pricey but worth every penny!
