Maurice Car’rie Vineyard

A MUST VISIT WINERY. Ann, Ann, Ann, and Ray. Ann is the manager of this place and she is awesome. If you want a great experience-she is the woman to know. Ray is one of the wine expert/maker and he is amazing. I followed them from another winery I love their spirit and energy so much. The vibe is great and the wine is good. The music top notch. The jazz guy and dj on Saturday turn the party out. The band on the second Saturday is good also. And the BRIE……Magnificent . I love this place so much I can’t say enough. Sorry I only have videos. No photos.

It’s my daughters bday month celebration and I wanted to bring them here to enjoy a nice ambience and relaxing time. Everyone was very kind and attentive. The live band was so cool and played some awesome music! 10/10. For lunch we had tomato bisque bowl 10/10, clam chowder bowl 10/10, chicken panini pesto 6/10, Tuscan pasta 9/10. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely recommend everyone one to come at least once but I think after one time you will make this a frequent place. We also had boozy pop mango 10/10 and mangoneada 10/10. See you next time! Awesome place to visit for sure!

I love this place so much and it’s the only place that has the delicious brie filled cheese bread! I wish more people knew about it because I don’t ever want it to go away! And every time I talk about it with anyone they don’t know what I’m talking about so I show them the pictures.

I recently had the pleasure of revisiting Maurice Car’rie/Ultimate Winery, and what an experience it was! Since our last visit, they’ve incorporated the new reds and wines from Ultimate Winery, and we couldn’t be happier with the addition. Of course, we have to rave about their famous baked garlic sourdough bread bowl with Brie—it’s a must-have every time and the perfect shareable.

The property is expansive, with a large grassy area where families and friends can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. My wife and I shared a bottle of their Petite Syrah, which was absolutely fantastic! Our server, Alan, went above and beyond by letting us sample a few wines before we made our choice, which we really appreciated.

In addition to the wine, they now have a full food menu, and we were blown away by the mushroom toast—it was delicious! Miguel, another amazing server, provided excellent service during our visit as well. We also tried the white wine Tango, and it was a perfect pairing with the food.

This place is perfect for large groups, with plenty of picturesque spots for photos. Conveniently located at the start of wine country, right off Rancho California Road, it’s easy to get to and an ideal stop. We loved the addition of the Ultimate Winery wines alongside the classic sparkling wines from Maurice Car’rie.

Highly recommend this winery for any gathering, and don’t forget to impress your group with that Brie bowl—it never disappoints!

Beautiful place, excellent food and wonderful staff 😊 thank you !! ❤️

I stopped into Maurice Car'rie recently with a group of girlfriends for lunch after wine tasting at nearby Halter Ranch (where they don't have food). They're best known (for good reason) for their famous garlic sourdough bread baked with Brie cheese...and of course, someone in our group ordered this to share with all! I had the pesto chicken pizza which was also amazing. The casual menu has something for everyone and the food is all great. Our group shared several bottles - Syrah, Rosé Grenache and one of the sparklings. It was a beautiful afternoon and we took over a big table on the covered outdoor side porch. The staff are all so friendly and helpful; service is excellent!

We were fortunate enough to meet winemaker James through his adorable dog Milo who was running around in the grassy area. While talking to James, he graciously offered our group a very special port education and tasting from the barrel! What an absolute treat...and testament to the wonderful people who work at Maurice Car'rie!

Austin did our tour and he was excellent 👌🏽. Also you have to go when Rene is performing. One of the most lively wineries in the area!

My husband and children took me here for a Mother’s Day lunch and it is absolutely gorgeous. The service was wonderful and laid back. The menu is simple and easy to order from. The food was great! Definitely going again!

Worst service

This wine tasting experience stands out because of the attention to detail. We were escorted through the grapevine cultivation and grape production with just the right amount of information. Helen was knowledgeable and a good facilitator. Highly recommend.

Fun atmosphere, wine was very good, our dog was welcomed inside and outside. The staff was very helpful in choosing which wines to taste. The sourdough with Brie was amazing! We also had lunch with the tasting, which was very good. Overall nice experience.

Went for the band and TWICE the Waitress gave our table to other customers while we were on the dance floor. When I asked the manager to give us our table back she said she would bring us another table. I said bring THEM another table we already have one and they are using it.

The sour dough bread was stale and tasteless.

Wines were bitter and not very good.

Staff were not helpful and nowhere to be found.

Wilson Creek and Bel Vino have bands regularly and much better food and wine.

Worst winery EVER choose another among hundreds of others in Temecula!

This was our second time at this winery. Helen did a great job giving us info about the various wines that we were drinking. The wines were good and the brie bread bowl was delicious!

Cute spot with some good wines and some pizza. Lots of options!

We visited this winery for the 1st time to see The John Demps Full Effect Band. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon with a perfect temperature of 76 degrees on Dec 7th. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food & wine. It was unexpectedly delicious & well prepared! The pricing was fair as well and also a nice surprise. I ordered the Harvest Apple Salad with Chicken & The Apple & Brie Toast. Both dishes had an impressive presentation & were brought out to our table by the staff. You need to order at the bar tasting room and are given a number to set on your table for your food delivery. I was surprised to find that the chicken on my salad were generously cut pieces of tasty rotisserie chicken & not salty processed deli meat. The salad was a spring mix with plenty of walnuts & bleu cheese too. It was wonderful! The Apple & Brie Toast was a perfect compliment to the salad. Fresh baked sourdough bread with melted Brie & fresh slices of apple sitting on salad greens. I loved it! It also paired well with their Gewurztraminer wine, which was light & crisp & not overly sweet. Overall, we had a wonderful day & loved the food & wine & and fabulous music by John Demps Full Effect! All of the staff I communicated with were friendly & helpful as well & made us feel welcome. Thank you. 😃

As for the downsides of my experience, the women's restroom needed attention! One sink was clogged and gross & one toilet was horrible! There was dog poop 💩 on the grass near the outdoor table where we were seated. Ew! The holes all over the grassy area can cause you to twist an ankle. Be careful & dont wear heels. 👠

The seating on the wrap around deck is the best, but very loud when there is a band playing. Dancing will be on concrete. There is no wood dance floor. You may also want to bring your own comfortable folding chairs if you choose to sit out on the lawn area. Dress casual with 👟 sneakers & a hat 👒 to this winery. It's like visiting a park.🌳
