As someone from Argentina, I really appreciate restaurants that understand food and hospitality beyond just the typical "American" experience, and this place absolutely does. One thing that stands out to me is how diverse and knowledgeable the staff is. Many servers are well versed about Latin flavors, and it makes the experience feel more authentic, welcoming, and internationally minded, which is very important to me. The winery itself is beautiful - elegant, clean, and always impressive. The views are some of the best in Temecula (I think they even won an award for it). I'm proud to bring friends and family here when they visit from outside the country because it consistently leaves a great impression. I personally don't drink wine, but when I go with people who do they say it's very good. I also appreciate that they offer excellent non-alcoholic options. Their cappuccino is fantastic, and it's nice that people who don't drink (whether permanently, temporarily, or for health reasons) can still fully enjoy the experience. The food quality has always been excellent. I like high-protein meals, and the steak frites with chimichurri sauce is one of my favorites. Everything tastes fresh, high quality, and consistently well prepared. Overall, this is a classy, welcoming place with outstanding service, great food, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. read more

Everything was very nice, but one employee stood out . His name was Jared, anything we requested, that young man was with there. This winery is one of my favorite place to come and relax. read more

Connor is the guide I always hope for at wineries; knowledgable, kind, and friendly. He made our time at Altisima extra special.

Jay was phenomenal. Talk about incredible energy from the jump. Greeted with it when we walked in. Let me start over. The drive up was absolutely stunning. Walk through the door and greeted with nothing but smiles. Jay is the man. Liz is also the woman. The sun was getting to us halfway through our wine tastes, so we elected to get a table and she was our server. We ordered the patatas bravas and empanadas. I wish I wasn't with other people because I wanted the food to myself. Delectable. Ambiance = thumbs up. Thanks for an incredible time. read more

Checked this place out last spring with 3 friends for wine tasting experience. We got sitted right away in the patio, without reservation. Ordered wine and charcuterie board, it was good amount of portion for 4. Our server was attentive and made sure we were okay. Place is nice to hang around for a bit to take pictures. Overall, it's a nice experience and will definitely recommend to Yelpers. read more

We've been coming to Altisima since it opened here in Temecula, and somehow the service has gone to a whole new level. We started with the octopus, oysters, ceviche, and crispy bread prepared exactly the way we requested. We paired it with a flight of margaritas and some excellent wine selections. Every dish was outstanding. What truly made this experience exceptional was Liz. She is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. Liz expertly described each dish with confidence, knowledge, and passion. Everything she explained about the flavors, preparation, and presentation was delivered exactly as promised. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing a great dining experience elevated our entire meal. Outstanding customer service Liz! Altisima deserves a shout out, the service and food was not very good when they opened... but now... If you're looking for a place to enjoy incredible food, outstanding drinks, and top-tier service, this is the spot. Bring your appetite, come ready to enjoy yourself, and let the kitchen and staff do the rest. From Drake's Good Eats, this place earns a strong recommendation. And for families looking for a welcoming environment, it's a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience as well. Liz, job well done. We'll definitely be back. read more

It was a busy Saturday as the weather was gorgeous. It was tough to get pours and i thought the wine was ok. Ambiance was nice at the tasting bar. However service could improve as felt I had to flag someone to get the next pour even when the crowd dissipated read more

Came to visit the winery on a Sunday morning to celebrate some birthdays, and we went upstairs to have glasses of champagne and enjoy the views. We had previously had lunch and drinks during the weekend and so we decided to just out for drinks upstairs in the members lounge, although we would've liked to have had food served upstairs. Our overall experience with the winery has always been plentiful and joyous with the memories we have with family and friends. The parking is a little sparse, but the service and accommodations have always been five star. I would recommend this winery as one of your stops to enjoy your day. read more

Love this place!!!! It has an absolutely amazing view of the mountains and rolling hills. I was so amazed by how dynamic this place was between quiet chills afternoons and entertaining/loud evenings with live music. They also offer some good food (fries), really good margaritas (they have a full bar), and great tasting wine slushies ! I love the friendly staff with the extra / heavy-handed pours that I even proposed to my girlfriend here ....she said YES! 100% recommend this place. read more

When we first pulled in I felt a bit like we were in Napa. Very modern building that is more restaurant than tasting room. The place was packed with wall-to-wall people at 3pm on a Saturday. Outdoors was packed as well, we stood out there and drank a glass. Not a lot of shade. Our friends are members so we were able to go up to the members lounge after a one hour wait. Much more chill up there. On to the wines: Luna Mia was an outstanding, crisp white blend with a bit of body. Perfect for a hot day. Burlington Elegante is an interesting red blend that's mostly montepulciano. It was bold and interesting yet drinkable without much fuss. Food: Spanish meat flatbread was on point topped with spicy sausage. Empanadas were surprisingly delicious. All in a fun outing. Parking sucks, be prepared for dirt/gravel and a bit of walking. read more

I've been to a handful of wineries in Temecula and this ranks amongst my favorites! It was super busy on Memorial Day Weekend and they had no availability at the restaurant. We were lucky to snag a spot in the grass area right as someone was leaving. There was live music and the vibes were good. I also liked that they had a more extensive drink list then most the wineries I've been to. If I came back I'd probably try to get a reservation and eat there too! Highly recommend. read more

Went to Temecula for a day trip with the girls. Altisima was our first stop. We had reservations at 1130 for brunch on a Saturday. The place was decent, got sat right away, and took our time ordering food and drinks. 4 drinks, 4 entrees, and 2 appetizers to share came out to about 85$ a person including tip. The food wasn't amazing, but rather decent. Some of us liked the calamari, but I didn't like it as much. I should have tried their ceviche. I ordered their tomato pasta with salmon. The salmon was way overcooked and dry. Wasn't worth what I paid for it. Eventually a live ban started playing. Lots of outdoor seating and spots to take pictures. Staff members were nice and place was clean. We were celebrating belated birthdays so they gave us churros which were good and came in perfect bite size. read more

The environment here is great. The location is picturesque. There are so many reasons to visit here. The location, the wine of course, the decor and set up. Just beautiful. The atmosphere is perfect for day drinking. My friend has a membership, so we were able to be seated upstairs on the 2nd level in the members' lounge. It felt like VIP getting in that elevator. I love the view from up there. I did not drink the wine but from what I saw, the pours were very generous. The property is well kept. It is beautiful and modern with an extremely accommodating staff. Our group had a wonderful time. I will definitely visit this winery again so I can get the full experience. read more

This review is for the food. This was my first time here and was sadly highly disappointed by the sea bass dish. It was overcooked, causing it to be so dry, and it was very salty with some bites. I only ended up maybe eating half of it, unfortunately, due to needing substance. My drink was tasty, but a little too sweet. I got the peach and mint sangria. The service, on the hand, was great and everyone was so nice and friendly. The view was also nice. The patio area we were sitting in had a nice view, however, it was a little chilly out. read more

Food was fantastic. The mains were pretty large serving. I wasn't hungry when we got there So the ceviche was the best option for me. And it was fantastic. As well as the Brussels sprouts . Normally you're able to make reservations at the restaurant online. For some reason it was not an option that day. So we had to walk in. Little did we know it was Palm Sunday. So there were tons of kids running around. I think they pick and choose kids days. Cause my friend had brought a baby in a stroller that was sleeping and was told they can't be there. But this day the kids were running all over. So I would recommend just calling before. The wine was pretty good. But I think the views of this place if what makes it stand out. it's beautiful read more

I don't usually drive all the way up here, but for this view and wine tasting experience, it makes the drive worth it. Place is huge and very pretty with plenty of seats. As soon as you walked in, there is an elevator to the left, which would take you to the second floor, for the members lounge only. It is a really beautiful lounge but make sure to bring a sweater because it gets chilly later in the afternoon. We were finishing up around 6:40 PM when we notice a bunch of people with their blankets and thick jackets walking towards the projector screen at the first floor getting ready for an outdoor free movie night, that was really cool. If we came prepared with our blankets too to keep us warm we would've stayed longer and watched too. Wines are very nice however it is a little pricey starting from $15 a glass for a Chardonnay and price ranges from $23 and up per glass for the Reds. read more

Been here many times and Hands down still my favorite winery in Temecula! The beautiful views of the vineyards on top of the hill are breathtaking. Love it so much brought 3 different groups of friends and purchased the membership. It can get pretty busy on the weekends and appreciated the ride in nice clothes from the top of the overflow parking lot down to the main area and the driver was so friendly he let us ladies take a quick peak in the wine barrel room. There is a new chef and they added some new delicious items. The beef empanadas are my favorite appetizer. There are also 3 items only offered Friday-Monday. We tried the sea bass and the Rib eye which were cooked to perfection. The sangria flight is so refreshing and my favorite is the peach sangria. The service is welcoming at Gaspars and the membership lounge. JT was our server at Gaspars and he made sure to take are of all of our employees we brought for one of the appreciation dinners we had at Gaspars. Love the thought and detail in the service from JT to the hostess and servers in the members lounge. Cannot wait to sip another sangria. read more

Went to Altisma today with a member for a nice birthday lunch. I ordered the $32 mimosa flight, and it was four somewhat large jars of warm fruit juice, with basically undetectable sparkling wine. I had a conversation with the server, and she was not helpful at all. Basically asked me if I wanted to order something else. Did not offer to fix it. I wanted the mimosa flight that I've been looking forward to. I ended up ordering TWO MORE glasses of sparkling wine (one of which was totally flat) to try to make mimosas, and I still had flat juice with a mild wine taste. What kind of winery does not know how to mix a mimosa? That was annoying, but then we got our food. The "tomato soup" tasted like very thick (the spoon stands up in it) pasta sauce that was uncomfortably spicy. No difference between the tomato soup and pasta sauce I had on my seafood pasta. My dad, who never complains about anything, said his tomato soup was too spicy to eat. We asked the server to bring us some cream or something to cut the soup, and she did so, which was helpful. I poured the leftovers on my pasta to eat later. The fish of the day, seabass, was overcooked, but the risotto was decent. All this to say, when you pay a little extra, you expect decent quality. Altisima does not seem to care. If it weren't for my friend's membership, I would never go to Altisima again. read more

We came here for the first time from a recommendation. We recently broke up with our other winery and have been shopping around! Our must haves are as follows...bold reds, good social events and overall a place that values and appreciates their members! Well all three boxes were checked! We enjoyed the tasting and Connor was exceptional at his wine knowledge and overall appreciation for transparency about what is offered in coordination with what we looking for as potential members. They have 2 tiers of membership. Both a great value so we look forward to finding out more details. We don't get to try the food but the service and ambiance was quite exceptional! Live music was great and every one, including us seemed to be having a great time on a beautiful Friday afternoon. We can't wait to visit again and bring friends! read more

Altisima Winery / Gaspar's Restaurant is consistently a fantastic experience. The serving staff is exceptional - JT, Mike M, and Angeline are all wonderful (honestly not a bad one in the bunch). The outdoor patio is beautiful, with stunning rolling hill views and endless blue skies that make you want to linger for hours. Food is excellent across the board - the Spanish grilled cheese and truffle fries are perfect if you're feeling indulgent, while the braised beef with garlic mashed potatoes is incredibly satisfying. Pro tip: stop by the tasting room before eating. Jay and Ty, longtime wine servers at Altisima, make the experience especially fun and welcoming. read more

Beautiful venue but the service was left much to be desired. Four of us decided to come here for wine tasting. It was quiet when we arrived to the tasting room and there were two staff behind the bar. They saw us walking towards them but didn't greet or acknowledge us. We got to the bar and the staff had their backs turned. We waited thinking that they were perhaps busy. But then they went over to other customers standing further away and spoke with them and continued to ignore our group. At one point we even left the bar to see if someone else could serve us. We eventually got our tastings started ($30 per person). While we enjoyed some of their wines and the outdoor views, the lack of service left a sour note for us. read more

One of my top 3 Port wine experiences. I was there before the release of Dona Dulce NV, and they said we can sell you a bottle. It is fantastic. They took the step to ask the owner or manager if it can happen. That is what makes you feel special in a situation. I go for the ports, though I love wine in general. Now I will seek to buy this in the future. Thank you for such a great memory and experience. read more

My first time here and I ended up signing up to be a member, so that tells you how great it was! The staff is all so friendly and helpful. The brewery is a beautiful spot with so much outdoor seating and can accommodate large parties. They had live music on Sunday which brings the entire atmosphere together.

Altisima's pricing for a tasting flight was for 5 pours at $30 per person. Our sommelier suggested that we get a couple of bottles of wine and have it outside in their patio area as it was more cost effective that way. Since we purchased the wine flights for our group, I was able to sample a couple of different Altisima wines. I ended up really enjoying their Rosé. We eventually ended up in their patio area. However, it was super hot outside. I think if I had to do this again, I would get a table in their restaurant area where it is covered from the heat! Also, we had purchased a charcuterie plate. Now that was totally worth it for our entire group. read more

One of the wineries that's I would take visitors to since they have a wonderful space, back patio area overlooking the vineyard, and music on the weekends. They also have a restaurant onsite that is well integrated into the space so would recommend making reservations. They also have tours that you can book too. The wine here is some of my favorite in the area and is one of my top picks out of the many wineries here. read more

Had reservations for the restaurant and I've always loved Altísima, but this visit the food missed the mark. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken lacked flavor even with the pesto. My friends ordered steak frites medium rare but came out a different temp. That said, the wine, views, and overall vibe are still beautiful. Our server Leo was attentive and kind, which we appreciated. Regardless, this is a perfect winery to get food before you start your tours. read more
