46 Best Wineries in Temecula

“If you like reds you have to come drink them ALL! Maybe their whites are great too, but I have my favorites. The service was amazing, thank you mark. Outdoor seating was perfect! I wish I had been hungry bc the outdoor food smelled and looked excellent.“

“Hosted our rehearsal dinner at the private patio in the vineyards and it was amazing. The actual space is unique and beautiful, and the staff was super helpful. It was a 10/10 experience for us and was a highlight for our guests. We catered through Bocconocini and the pizza was delicious, and they made extras before we left for us to take home. Cannot recommend more highly for hosting a private dinner/event.“

“We love Somerset Winery! The staff is always friendly, the music/DJ is always so much fun, and the outdoor area is perfect for relaxing while enjoying a nice glass of wine. Drunk Bunnies white wine is so refreshing! Try one of their amphorae wines, they are so good!“

“We are giant fans of Halter Ranch in Temecula. We first became members after visiting Paso Robles and loved the wines!
We were very excited when Halter opened up the winery in Temecula.
What makes our experience so much better is the wine staff. Each time we visit, the staff (Greg and Brandon) educate us, inform us of what's new with Halter, and ensure that we enjoy our stay!
Because of the guaranteed awesome service provided by Greg and Brandon and the wines produced by Halter, we consider Halter Ranch to be the one winery visitors to our part of the world have to visit.“

“Had an awesome afternoon at Frangipani Winery. Our wine educator, Mia (hope I spelled that right) was incredibly sweet, super patient and informative. My wife and I never felt rushed, and the food was perfect for our tasting.
We also really enjoyed the Jimenez Sisters boutique, a real added bonus, the girls are charming.
Wishing them all the best until we return.“

“Friendly and down to earth.“

“Total hidden gem!

Ok in done gate keeping.

My wife and I have been coming to this lovely winery for over 7 years. This family run winery is exceptional with customer service and the wines taste great. Plus they are very affordable. If you are looking for a more secluded and serene experience with great views. i highly recommend you add Lumiere Winery to your Temecula winery list.“

“Friendly and down to earth.“

“Beautiful wine. Lovely atmosphere.“

“This is now one of my favorite wineries in Temecula, The staff is amazing, the weekend entertainment is fantastic. There is an upstairs that has wine tasting on the weekend, food trucks and entertainment. Believe me you won’t want to leave!!“

“Simply amazing. A must try for sure.“

“I just signed up for membership. Ian was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and helpful suggesting wines. Very good service. Callaway has a membership only section on the weekend, which is fantastic. I can't wait to learn more about their wines.“

“I came out to this gorgeous mom and pop vineyard on 8/3 with my bestie, and we did the wine tasting and it was worth every penny. Our waiter Heston was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us great recommendations. I ended up buying 2 bottles of wine to get shipped back to Delaware so I could have a piece of California in my kitchen. The Syrah Rock Creek is my absolute favorite new red wine. For a white their vermentino is a perfect white wine. I am not a big white wine person I loved it. Whenever I am back on the west coast I will be coming back again.“

“Just spent a lovely time sipping wine and enjoying the beautiful view of valle de los caballos. Kelly was our host today and she was fabulous. She knows the wines and details about the winery. She was friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The wines are quite nice. The cabernet's were some of our favorites.“

“Best wines of the Temecula Valley region!“

“Fun, beautiful scenery, great wine, awesome staff. Totally recommend!“

“Beautiful scenery nice atmosphere“

“great bunch of wineries in this trail. it was a blast hitting some new ones“

“Friendly, welcoming atmosphere and staff - along with good of wines.“

“We had an amazing experience with Dave today! We’ve been members for about 7 years, and while we definitely miss some of the familiar faces from the past, Dave truly stood out. His knowledge of wine and level of service made it feel like he’s been part of Leoness for over a decade. He was professional, personable, and made our visit especially enjoyable.

Also, Ian during our last visit was awesome as well—consistent great service like that is why we keep coming back!“

“A visit to Europa Village is a little journey one can take, without spending expensive airfare and taking time off for a European vacation! The beautiful architecture and ambiance of the winery has been created with such attention to detail, truly unique to Wine Country. The wine and culinary offerings are diverse and so delicious! For our equestrian group, the outstanding customer service was beyond compare. Owner Dan set us up with Brian in Operations, who worked closely with our event coordinator to deliver a perfect experience! Our lunch was delicious, Max the Mercato Mgr ensured our large pre-order was ready on time. John, Winery Mgr, ensured we were perfectly situated the day of our event. Matt, Wine Club mgr, gave an excellent impromptu presentation to our group explaining the vision, mission and future of the estate with an insiders perspective. Many of us joined the Wine Club! The entire day could not have been better! Thank you Europa for allowing a special equestrian event such as ours to take place. We look forward to our next visit!

“The property is beautiful and the service was great; last Saturday’s comedians were a fun evening out and the place was packed - everyone seemed to be fully entertained & enjoy the food … delish truffle fries - huge portions! We had the chicken salad- Yummers!“

“We enjoyed a delicious bottle of Tango and a loaf of fresh baked Brie Bread for lunch today at your beautiful winery. Thank you for the hospitality and horsepitality! Our server kindly brought up a tub of water for the horses because it was hot today.“

“Stopped in on a recommendation. So glad we did. We are red wine drinkers and found the reds to be very good. Enjoyed our 1st time here. Will be back again. Personable and a smaller winery. Great wines with a reasonable price. A must place to stop and check out“

“Was here for the first time attending a Wedding. It’s a beautiful location and the staff was excellent!!!“

“I recently visited and had such a fantastic experience. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, and they made me feel right at home. The wine tasting was top-notch, with a great variety of delicious wines to sample. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere was so relaxing with stunning views of the vineyards and surrounding countryside. I also had the chance to take a tour of the winemaking facilities, which was really interesting and informative. Overall, I had a wonderful time at the winery and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great wine tasting. The combination of beautiful scenery, friendly staff, and delicious wines made for a memorable visit. I will definitely be returning in the future.“

“The setting is fabulous. Service is spectacular. Sweet people. I personally didn’t like the tastings. I was disappointed in the fact that we bought two bottles in our group but none of the tasting were comped and they are $33 each so I was disappointed by that.“

“Such a lovely staff pouring excellent wines! Definitely stop in here on your Temecula Wine Country Tour!!“

“Great quality wines. Lovely people.“

“When you first get here it can be a little confusing because it's such a big property. But at least the first thing you see is a nice pond with fountains and big koi. Once you finally get oriented and make your way to the main area it's nice and open. You order before for drinks and seat yourselves then get a table and order food using the QR code. When we came today there was live music so it was really nice.

We ordered a pitcher of sangria topped off with champagne which the ladies enjoyed. I like that they had a full bar so I had several scotches and ended the night with an old fashioned. Oscar was AMAZING! I looked forward to ordering my next drink. He was friendly, outgoing, and made great drinks. After the sangria the ladies ordered his special hibiscus margarita and they loved it!

They also serve food here and everything we ordered was delicious! We got the truffle fries, pizza, and Brussel sprouts everything was delicious! We wanted the charcuterie board but it was sold out. We asked several servers but they said it was sold out. But there was one server that said she would look into it then came back with the charcuterie board. Bonus points!!!! Amazing customer service. Such a nice environment and amazing customer service. I wish I knew the servers name to give her kudos but she was petite, dark long hair, fair skin, really nice!“

“I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Once you open the front door you can smell the scent t of fresh cooked garlic.(Yum!) While wine tasting you can stand at the bar, sit at one of the inside tables or take you drink to the outside patio. There is a small kitchen/deli on-site that offers a variety of food if you're hungry.

Cougar offers a nice selection of wines: reds, whites, sparkling, & dessert. You will find something you like.

The inside table sitting area looks like a restaurant but there are chairs as well as other tables & chairs to sit around and enjoy the view. There are also a few individual chairs and a side table for two which face thw vineyard. The location is dog and family friendly. This is a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of some of the larger wineries. I would recommend.“

“Great wine, food, service and atmosphere! Beautiful vineyards to walk through! Feels like Tuscany!“

“My husband and I went yesterday. The views are magical. it felt like we traveled very far to find this enchanted place. Even though it's very convenient located in Temecula wine country. it's just a wonderful escape from the noisy buisiness of life. The food is definitely upscale and every attention to detail has been considered. of course the wine speaks for itself. I highly recommend it.“

“Lot of fun and great music..food is good they are a little short on help we had to wait probably 20 minutes for our wine. The food got there before the wine. they were pretty backed up and again that's probably because they don't have enough employees. I don't know if that's in their control because of the state of California making it hard for businesses these days to run efficiently“

“Dani was a great bartender🍷🍻“

“The wine is so delicious and the food at the restaurant in incredible!! Don’t miss out!“

“I’m selling 4 GA Jon Batiste Tickets for Thursday show September 18th at Mountain Winery - Saratoga, CA. If anyone interested in buying please send me a message ASAP unfortunately we cannot attend anymore. Willing to transfer them via Ticketmaster“

“I don’t know how this restaurant has 3.5stars . Both dishes I ordered were standout and was some of the best winery food I’ve had . If anything just come for the wagyu carpaccio, the meat was perfect and that hint of truffle oil and cheese with the crisp salad on toast was magic .

The mushroom risotto was fantastic as well …. It came out pipping hot and perfectly cooked ( I added chicken to it ) . Highly recommend if you are in the area . My waiter Adrian was super nice, gave me a bunch of tastings and let me choose my wine. The wine itself however I would say is average.“

“Great place to go to avoid crowds and chat with the owner/winemaker. Low alcohol wines show the character of the fruit used and are a great option for those who aren't fans of big tannic wines. This place is a pleasant throwback to the Temecula of 20 years ago!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Carter Estates! The location is stunning, surrounded by beautiful vineyards that make for a truly picturesque setting. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff went above and beyond — they were incredibly helpful and even accommodated an early check-in, which we really appreciated.
Our room was beautiful, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathtub was luxuriously oversized — exactly what you want on a getaway. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations.
Highly recommend Carter Estates to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience!“

“Nice outdoor space, kid friendly, and good pours. We had a great experience walking around the winery and enjoying the live music with my wife and one year old son. I will give a 5 star, but not sure why they were serving nice wine in plastic cups. We will be back for sure.“

“Amazing food, great service. Will definitely come back.“

“We visited for lunch first and were greeted by the GM. She was so friendly and invited us on a tour to meet the winemaker. Nate was so impressive. It was a pleasure to meet both! Excellent wines and great venue. Well worth the visit!“

“Very accommodating for our giant group. We were a post-wedding family brunch. We talked to them ahead of time and for the Sunday brunch at the restaurant, they were able to put together a long table for our ~26 people out on the beautiful patio with great views. Food was alright, not something I'd come back for necessarily (and maybe influenced by how huge our group was) but the great setting made up for it“

“We went here with a few friends and three kids. The food was wonderful as was the sangria. They were able to make my son's flatbread gluten free and our waitress was very careful to make sure it was put in correctly. Had a lovely time and will be back!“
