Nice place a little overpriced, but that's all of Wine country. I'm sad that they didn't have a cappuccino or any fancy coffee, but it worked and it was a fun visit and the service was great.

Thank you to Travis for the excellent service! We went for a birthday brunch and his genuine hospitality was evident throughout the meal. He was patient and kind helping my mom select the right bubbly, which was greatly appreciated.

Great venue for music and summer events. Menu is limited during concerts. Wine by the glass or ny the bottle is available along with bottle water and soft drinks. Plan early for parking and general admission seating and bring a jacket as it cools off in the evening once the sun goes down.

Enjoy.

Lisa is the very best at customer service! A rare gem! Always request her by name! Great brunch . Very fond of the Natural sparkling wine. Love bone dry.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Thornton Winery. We shared the Cafe Champagne salad, which we both loved. For our entrees, we chose the filet mignon and the braised short rib. Both were excellent. Service could have been a bit more attentive, but overall, we had a very positive experience, and we would definitely return.

It is always and Adult experience. Atmosphere is always friendly, and relaxing. They bring the best Jazz artist ever.

I think it's crazy that they have a whole parking lot that ends up mostly empty at the end of the night while there are people with walkers and canes forced to park at the bottom of the hill. I was told it's for the season ticket pass holders but why can't they RSVP or something so other people who cant walk the hill dont have to struggle. We pay hundreds of dollars to attend the concert on top of food. I walked out during intermission to see over 10 parking spots not being used. The dinner package is not worth it because apparently its not the same as VIP who is the season holders. You still have to park at the shittiest dirt parking and get treated poorly. I recommend go to any other winery with parking.

Celebrated my birthday with friends. We had a reservation, but frankly, the place was deserted on a Monday afternoon. They closed the Cafe Restaurant and seated us instead up on the patio outside the gift shop. It was a nice enough area. Our server was nice and knew the menu well. The champagne and wine flights were fun. The beverages were good. Two of us had the beef short rib in red wine sauce. Mashed potatoes and some young veggies were included. Very tasty meal. The saucer was really good and the beef was very tender, although a bit dry. The other entree was a beautiful serving of fresh salmon with a white sauce. Came with the same potatoes and veggies. My friend ate the whole portion. She said it was so very good. We had two desserts - Death by Chocolate cake and caramel bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Both were good. We enjoyed being outdoors in beautiful Temecula and had a really nice lunch.

I highly recommend this winery. We were there on a Sunday for brunch. Had the sea bass special and mimosa. Great saxophone music artist.

The location was beautiful looking over here vineyards. The service was very good, and it was a wonderful experience having never been to the Temecula wine country. The food was very enjoyable. The wine was disappointing. Having experienced the wines of Napa and Sonoma, Temecula has a way to go to meet wine expectations.

Thornton isn't what it used to be to be. Service and food were mediocre. My wife and I were disappointed last time we visited and we gave a two year break. We went back and it appeared to decline even more. This winery for us is on the two year list.
