Cougar Vineyard and Winery

Best wine and views in Temecula wine county!

I absolutely loved this place. Good food, good prices and really dog friendly. They don't just say they accept dogs, but also provide an environment where dogs can be confortable. The staff is great and the service outstanding! We will be coming back for sure.

Had fun at a Saturday trivia night. Good wines and the Pizzas were YUM! Staff is great! A good venue to share with friends.

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.

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.

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.

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:)

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

I was kind of intimidated to stop in, yknow maybe run by cougar women on the prowl. But our host was Meli, and he let us sample the wines we wanted to have with lunch. Good thing, because the sweet bubbly my wife ordered was DRY so she changed her choice. The antipasto salad was superb.

The septic tank truck pumping out the tank right next to the front door was horrendous. Wine was good, many unique varietals. Food was just okay. I don't like the order at the counter and we'll bring it to you model.

The only winery I have a membership with.
Their sparkling wines (Dolce Bubbly, Cougar Bubbly, and Sparkling Peach Sangria) are unbeatable.

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.

Thought we would try another winery in Temecula. This place was so disappointing by astronomical proportions! Friendly customer service was nil!! Their red wines were subpar, and they did not honor what they said was their military discount!

They sucked and we will never come back!

We will gladly let everyone we know not to come to this winery!!

We encountered a gracious and helpful hostess with valued insights into the various wines offered. I'm a huge new fan of their Pinot Grigio. Wish I could get it in Maine! (Shipping, of course, is very dear).
