Went on the wine tour. Tour guide Gabe was amazing and made the experience a really fun time. Great wines and good ambiance. Check it out!

Love this place! The wine, the food, but the service! Surpasses all expectations. A must visit if in the Temecula Valley.

nice indoor and outdoor section, known for white wine

Very disappointed. We had a 5pm reservation for dinner. When we arrived and were seated, we didn’t see a server for 10 minutes. Our server arrived with out a greeting and just asked if we were going to order drinks which we did. We were trying to enjoy ourselves as we’ve had a nice day so far. After our flights of wine arrived we were asked if we were going to order food because the kitchen was closing at 6pm. Mind you, we just arrived and promptly ordered our drinks. There was no lag time. This was very off putting. Don’t have a time slot so close to closing. One of our meals never arrived. The server didn’t even notice. We had to ask to have it removed from our bill. The food was just ok. Wine was good, company was great which saved the restaurant experience. Eat elsewhere.

I REALLLLLLLY wanted to like this place but by the end of the trip I left very disgruntled.Bought the cave tour Groupon for two. Went to the website to reserve as it requested. Clicked on cave tour, then made a reservation on open table. We got there and were told my reservation was for the Cafe. So someone needs to update the website. Luckily Judy let us join the tour group. For that I was very appreciative.Tour was just ok to me. Judy was extremely knowledgeable. But I expected a bit more then to sit at tables in a parking lot for 30 min, then walk through a man-made hole in the ground for 15. Meanwhile our glasses were near empty (everyones) 90% of the tour until we were seated at the end.The reds were alright. Not my favorite but everyone's pallette is different and I can respect that. The cheese and meat board were pretty good, honestly my favorite part of the whole experience.The final moments of the table session and walk back to the front desk and making any final purchases is what really turned me off to this place.Judy gave an ample selling lecture on the wine club. Ok whatever, again I can put up with a little bit, maybe that's how she makes her money. She asked if we buy bottles of wine, to buy from her as she gets credit for that. Ok no problem... But my goodness, the blunt and out front mentions of her damn tip jar were ridiculous. Seriously to the point of pushy and awkward. We always tip well at the wineries, and even the same in this case, but don't ruin the experience pushing/begging to fill the tip jar.A guy that was in our group put in a dollar... yea that's almost a slap in the face. My wife actually looked at him and made a comment, "come on". He laughed and said it was all he had left... but turned to his wife and grabbed another $10 to drop in it. Meanwhile during a quick walk by, Judy grabbed the dollar bill and said "that's embarrassing" as to hide it and imply the customer was a joke. And I agree that was a lousy tip, but you don't say that. That's just rude... luckily the guy didn't hear her...We tipped her well, twice, then also picked up a $60 bottle of wine from her to celebrate a recent achievement of ours. We tried mentioning it to her to be friendly and drum up some conversation, and let me tell you, she could have cared less. Once we tipped her and bought the bottle of wine, her demeanor completely changed and she was just focused on closing up shop and we were just in the way... I just looked at my wife and said let's go. We turned and left and I couldn't believe how unappreciated we were as patrons for the first time at this place. The entire time we were very respectful and not over demanding and really just trying to have a nice evening. The lack of professionalism and not giving an F was out for all to see at the end of the tour.We won't be back, and I'll spend my money elsewhere, where I've had a much better experience at many of the other wineries where I'm appreciated as a customer.

Great wine and AMAZING service. We did a wine tasting for Valentine’s Day and we were lucky to have James as our guide! James was absolutely fantastic, he was hilarious and extremely knowledgeable and so kind. I would highly recommend this tasting to anyone! And if you get James as your guide you’re in for an extra great experience! The entire winery and cave is beautiful. Thank you Oak Mountain, we will certainly be back!
We are members of Oak Mountain Winery Cave Distillery and love coming for date night. The staff is always pleasant friendly. When we have friends in town this is the one spot we will stop for lunch/dinner and drinks.

We absolutely loved it! The drinks were amazing. Staff was fantastic. Watching them mix drinks was great. It's not a large place and kitchen is at the main building so it's a little slow for food but well worth it. My favorite place we went to all weekend..

For the price did not find it worth it, short cave walk where you sit down and share some cheese trays with other people. The wine samples were so-so, our guide Gabe was not any better.

My fiancée took me on a tour to Oak Mountain Winery for my birthday and it was very entertaining, we gained knowledge about wine making, history of wine as well! The Cave was pretty cool to see. Our tour guide was great and had a pleasant upbeat attitude. Another couple was on the tour with us as well and they were great company! Great atmosphere and beautiful scenery! After we went to Old Town Temecula for dinner and walked through the town. What an amazing time!

Had a unique experience. Parking can be tough. Our guide into the not too long cave was very good and humerus. Very tasty variety of wines at a respectable prices.
