“We booked a large table reservation at Akash for my bachelorette this last weekend and we absolutely loved it! Roberto was great and explained a lot about what we were drinking and the winery! We appreciate his excellent service and vibe. Would absolutely come back and recommend Akash!“
“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.“
“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 took my 87 year old mom to enjoy the members lounge with us. It had been many years since she was there, and Serenity was so helpful! Serenity was very attentive to mom’s interests and offered her some small tastes in order to help her decide which one mom would prefer. The one thing that really stood out is a small thing but shows a kind heart for sure. When mom tried to lean back a little to look up at Serenity, Serenity stepped back and knelt down so she could look at mom, and mom easily at her. We have a new favorite server now!“
“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.“
“Beautiful wine. Lovely atmosphere.“
“We were greeted by Liberty. She was the great big friendly malamute (?) guarding the door. If was 11 am and the wineries were just opening. Joanne invited us and we each got a tasting of 5 wines. Joann was polite, knowledgeable and not at all pushy. Fun and easygoing. This was one of the more inexpensive tastings we did today. Recommend.“
“We were visiting from Minnesota for a family wedding and decided last minute to pop into Lumiere and it was truly a highlight of our trip! Martha was such a delight, we enjoyed talking with her so much! She was so helpful and knowledgeable with selecting the wines. Such a hidden gem of a place. Everywhere else was so busy and loud and this place was quiet with incredible view which was really relaxing. We will be back next time we visit!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this winery. Janet and Claire were fantastic and provided the experience that we associate with the Temecula Valley wineries for over 12 years. Such an enjoyable personal experience. All the staff was so welcoming, friendly, and great to interact with. Beautiful views and great wine just top it all off. You must make this a stop on your wine tour, you won’t regret it.“
“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.“

“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!

“Great wine, food, service and atmosphere! Beautiful vineyards to walk through! Feels like Tuscany!“
“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.“
“Visited for a wedding. Venue is peaceful and serene. Although we didn't partake of the winery's stock much, what we did have was good, and others outside of our wedding party were having a great time with other live music and goings on...“
“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.“
“Was here for the first time attending a Wedding. It’s a beautiful location and the staff was excellent!!!“
“Briar Rose Winery is truly one of Temecula’s hidden gems! My partner and I have been Wine Club members for several years, and every visit feels like a little escape into a fairy tale.
The winery’s charming cottages were inspired by Disney’s Snow White, creating a magical setting unlike any other winery in Temecula. The beautifully landscaped grounds, gardens, and intimate atmosphere make it a peaceful place to relax and enjoy an afternoon. The storybook-inspired architecture adds to the enchantment, making every visit feel special.
The wines are exceptional! My personal favorite is the Tempranillo, a smooth, flavorful red that I look forward to every visit. The knowledgeable and friendly staff make the tasting experience enjoyable and welcoming.
Reservations are required for wine tasting, so be sure to plan ahead.
Briar Rose is also a wonderful venue for:
* Weddings
* Bridal showers
* Baby showers
* Birthday celebrations
* Anniversary parties
* Romantic date afternoons
If you’re looking for a unique winery with outstanding wines, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing atmosphere, I highly recommend Briar Rose Winery. It’s one of our favorite places in Temecula, and we always look forward to returning.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a relaxing afternoon in wine country, Briar Rose Winery is an unforgettable experience.“
“Such a lovely staff pouring excellent wines! Definitely stop in here on your Temecula Wine Country Tour!!“
“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.“
“There was a wedding and bridal shower going on at the same time so parking was limited. They have an upper and lower lot for parking.
We parked at the lower lot and there was a golf cart that went around and picked us up to bring us to the top.
The property is different than any other wineries. It has an outdoor relaxing vibe like being in the woods.
You seat yourself. There’s a QR code at the table to order and pay for your food. If you want to order drinks, walk up to the front hut to order and bring it back to your table.
They are known for sangrias in red, white or rose. We got a pitcher of red.
We also ordered a basket of fries and tenders.
There were live country music band singing covers. The upper deck is for members only.
There’s even a lake but it was occupied by the wedding. We saw kids and pets. It’s great for all ages.
They also serve beer, juice and other drinks besides wine and sangria.
When you leave the property, there’s a shuttle station to take you back down to your car.
It’s also one of the few properties that open late until 10pm on Fri and Sat.“
“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 had our wedding at Lorimar, and it was an amazing experience! The venue is beautiful, and the food and wine were excellent! Special thanks to our coordinator, Jennifer, who was professional, organized, and patient throughout the entire process, and the staff were also great on the day of. We’re so glad we chose Lorimar for our special day!
That said, the only downside was that someone stole our wedding items from the welcome table. That was partly on us for not moving them in time, but here’s hoping karma catches up with whoever did it.“
“The wine is so delicious and the food at the restaurant in incredible!! Don’t miss out!“

“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.“
“Amazing food, great service. Will definitely come back.“
“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!“
“We had our wedding at Longshadow and everything was even more perfect than we could have imagined! Everyone had a blast! Dave, John, and the team went above and beyond and we know they were key in making everything run so smooth! They were so helpful and easy to work with the whole time.
10/10 recommend working with them for catering as well, Great Scott BBQ was the clear winner for food all weekend!
Longshadow has hands down become our favorite winery in Temecula! Great wine, great service, and even better vibes!“
“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!“
“If you are a bubbly fan, this is the bubbly mothership in the Temecula. They are the first to produce sparkling wine in Temecula..1988. Been here a few times and love the variety of flights they have. Favorite is the Methode Champenoise Flight. NV Brut Reserve Natural is the bomb.“
“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!“

“Terrific tasting with Mike Swanson in June 2026. Really appreciated his knowledge and recommendations — tried several wines I wouldn’t have considered otherwise and all were excellent. The depth of the wine list, with single varietals and blends, was impressive. Definitely a Temecula highlight.“
