Last night was nothing short of magical. The winery and incredible service we received from Mandy was the absolute highlight of my families trip to Temecula. From the moment we stepped into the bar area, she greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile; demeanor incredibly polite and kind, making my Wife & Aunt feel instantly at ease in the stunning, palatial winery.
We aren’t big wine drinkers, but after this trip I think it’s safe to say we might be moving forward! Mandy wasn't pouring wine; she was telling a story. A true gem of exceptional knowledge and connoisseurship. Guiding us through Fazeli’s impressive selection, offering fascinating insights into the different varietals, the winemaking process, and its unique Persian heritage that makes the holistic experience so incredible. Go to Fazeli’s & ask for Mandy!!!

Beautiful and flavorful and wonderful place for snacks, lunch, sangria, or tastings!

The wines being named after Islamic figures like Saadi, Rumi, Khayyam is an insult and disrespect to their legacies and work. Especially to Rumi and Saadi, whose work revolved around Islam. Don’t take these Islamic figures and belittle them by naming them after your wines (wine is haram in Islam). I highly suggest taking these down as it’s not just a disrespect to these historical figures, but to their work, and to Islam.

Everything went well until the end of the night. I met BJ and he was amazing. However, there was an incident with one of the workers who was laughing and being disrespectful. I shared my perspective with the manager. At the end, I wanted to leave things respectfully and professionally, so I reached out to shake her hand. Instead, she stood with her arms crossed, looked at me, and refused to shake my hand.
As a manager, professionalism and people skills are essential. Running a business isn’t about pride—it’s about respect, understanding, and valuing customers. I spent a lot of money here, and now I truly regret it. Unfortunately, because of this experience, they’ve lost me and my family as customers. BJ is great, but this overshadowed everything else.

Beautiful winery! Love the stunning views.

We took our guest from Canada here for a Sunday brunch. The service was really slow and food was not great. I ordered Shakshuka(!) which was disgustingly salty and not able to eat it. When I mentioned that to the server, she said she has no idea of that dish and will tell the kitchen staff!! They charged a lot for salty tomato sauce bowl. Overpriced food and not the best service. Not going back there!

Great spot but it was empty on 5pm on Saturday

i ordered mixed kabob platter and for $28 dollars the portion was super small. Hardly was six piece of meet in total. The salad and yogurt on the platter came also as a small sauce. The meet had zero flavor. Not happy with the food at all.

Location and views were absolutely amazing. A group of us all agree — avoid the wine. Not sure how the reviews are high enough to warrant the lack of quality Temecula wine. If you’re going, enjoy the view, the grounds, and the bar. Avoid the wine.

Beautiful views. Wine is trash. Full cocktail bar is a sign that you should not drink the vile wine. Stick with a Spritz.
Fazeli Cellars wine, venue and staff are top notch!!
Just hosted a Welcome Reception for 100 family and friends who couldn't stop raving about the flavorful food, wine and spectacular views. Fazeli Cellars has become one of my new destination additions when visiting SoCal!!

I am giving 4 start because they are advertising food special on the board of $22 and charger me $25 when I asked why they said we increased our prices 2 weeks ago. I told them why are you advertising and old price when you can’t honor it. Mr Fazeli I expected better from this operation. Your employees are not the friendliest either. You need to do better than this

We ordered their mediterranean food and it came out dead cold. Their menu board says we make every item fresh, we are not fast food but seemed like they just pulled the food out from the fridge and served it to us. We even complained to the manager and she did absolutely nothing about it. Simply said i'll talk to the chef about it and went on doing other work and completely ignored us. Never order food over here as its overpriced and not worth a dime!

Wile the staff was nice, waiting for over an hour for our food is not acceptable.

I pulled a 2014 Meritage off my rack tonight. Just had to write and say how delicious it is. I made a good purchase.
