Hands down our family’s favorite winery stay in Temecula. If you get lucky to wake up with balloons outside your window- it is an image you will never forget. Great pool and hot tub. Free shuttle across 2 sister hotels. Great service and good wine- what more would you ask for?

Been here before the food menu at the pool area was amazing . But now they changed to new Management & the food is disgusting and horrible. We had to go eat out of the resort. Came here for our 8th year anniversary, was disappointed with food!!! However our room was really nice.

We stayed for 2 nights for a quick getaway and stayed in one of the bungalow villas. Marci at check in was amazingly helpful and Debbie at the front desk really provided top tier service as well. I would recommend this place based on the views alone but the customer service was an unexpected bonus. Plus, the wine is great too - if you call the front desk, they'll even deliver a bottle to your room!

Amazing! Loved this place!! Brought my husband here for a two night stay for his birthday! We had the best time. Very clean and quiet! Since, it was my husband's birthday, we were gifted a bottle of wine, which we enjoyed on our semi private patio, overlooking the vineyard. In the morning we were pleasantly awoken to hot air balloons drifting over the vineyard outside our room. We feasted on our continental breakfast while watching them. The room was really nice and had a large bathtub and shower. We had the room with the Murphy bed. The bed was ok. Not the worst bed I've slept in but not the best. My only complaint. Our room faced the sunset and it was just beautiful to watch. It is also close to many of the vineyards to go wine tasting. I highly recommend this place, and we will definitely be back! Next time, trying out the queen bed.

Nice secluded area. Private gated entrance makes you feel like you’re in a residential area. Does not have many amenities and dining but it does have a sister winery down the street that provides these. They provide free shuttle service between properties. They do have a tasting room with a nice patio view. I liked that we were able to choose all 5 wines at the same time to enjoy. Free continental breakfast, with add-ons for additional purchase. The coffee in the room was decent as well. Great service at the registration area, everyone was so nice!

We like the quietness of the resort. Room is big with jacuzzi, seating area and patio with vineyard view. It feel like some place far way yet only less then 2 hour drive from our house.

We've stayed here every year for the last 3 years for our annual trip. To say this property has gone down hill fast is an understatement. First, we were greeted to dirty towels on the floor in our room. Next to find dirty socks in one of the drawers. The next day we tried the pool and the food there was horrible! Hard bread you can't bite into. And brown moldy lettuce for a Cesar salad. I couldn't even feel my 2 year old son here. I had to order Uber eats.Also if you don't book directly with the resort (you can't until January) you WILL NOT BE TREATED THE SAME AS OTHER GUESTS. No complimentary bottle of wine for you!

My hubby and I took a few days to vacate life in Vegas for a winery getaway. I was really looking forward to staying at this winery. Everything about the concept is fabulous. Upon arriving we found out that they are under new management and will be renovating in 2024. Looking forward to that since there are many little things that need repair. However, they aren't bad enough to not give this setting high marks. Each room is like a little villa and it's like you have your own little home. Love this !!! Our room faced the vineyards and in the morning we were surprised with a wonderful hot air balloon "show." So cool. We enjoyed a wine tasting when we arrived and unfortunately are not really a fan of their selection but that's ok. Different strokes as the saying goes. All in all it was a wonderful 3 days !!

My friend and I stayed here recently (end of August) a little by accident. We had reservations at another location but we are SO Happy that fell through and we ended up here!Check-in was easy & the staff was extremely friendly and generous. The room was nice and clean. Wine glasses & wine key provided. There was a mini fridge and safe, and a few bottles of water. TV and fireplace, we didn't use either during our stay. The view is fantastic from all the rooms no matter what side you're on but we really enjoyed the east facing room we had. You can stroll through the vineyard, which is right outside your back patio door (all rooms are ground level), or walk to the tasting room. The BEST surprise we experienced staying here was watching the early morning hot air balloons literally take off right outside our patio (we had no idea they actually launched from this property)!! Such an indescribable & unforgettable part of our trip.Continental breakfast was included. After you check-in, there's a menu in your room you leave on the door with your selections and time you want it delivered. Be realistic about what this is, if you're looking for a large breakfast spread, go elsewhere. We really enjoyed it and it was nice to have while watching the morning balloon show.We only stayed one night so we didn't get a chance to use the pool but they have one, and hot tub. The pool isn't anything fancy but we saw plenty of people there having a good time. They have a covered patio area with tables & chairs, a few cabanas and pool lounge chairs available. It looks like they also have a small grill open during certain hours too. They have a water bottle refill station at the pool patio for anytime use. This was nice for us since we had brought water bottles with us.We had no problems getting a Lyft at night into Old Town Temecula, it's about a 15-20 minute drive.I thought the amenities were amazing & appropriate considering most guests are most likely touring other wineries or Temecula during the day/evening. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was spacious and comfortable. Notably, even when we requested assistance late in the evening, the staff (Michael) displayed exceptional kindness and attentiveness, allowing us to enjoy a truly exceptional evening.

Our experience was great! We had four bungalows among our families and the rooms were clean, spacious and had great views of the air balloons in the morning. The breakfast that was included with our stay were delicious.

Waking up to this beautiful scenery was amazing. It was a wonderful experience coming here to stay. I recommend coming here if you come and visit Temecula and go to the wineries. I will definitely be coming back.

The property and staff were great, wish we had daily room service for new towels and made up bed. The winery staff and the front desk staff were very helpful and kind and addressed problems immediately.

Based on one overnight stay - This was a very last minute addition to our San Diego trip, but I'm so glad we changed our plans so we could stay here. It's a beautiful landscape, the rooms are spacious, and it's a very quiet, serene place to be, despite being so close to a populous area. The large jet tub was great, the shower was awesome, and I thought the bed was actually pretty comfortable. The breakfast was what you'd expect from a free continental breakfast, but it was more enjoyable since it was hand delivered and we could eat it on the back patio overlooking the view.
