It is very cute! It's giving a fairy tale wonderland vibe....the atmosphere is magical, with beautiful flowers everywhere and books lining the walls. The wines were great--I especially loved their Chardonnay. They also have mocktails for $8. We came here for the butterfly effect, there was a $15 fee per person. I expected to see a butterfly conservatory with plenty of different kinds of butterflies but I was disappointed to only see a small outdoor umbrella gazebo with mosquito netting. They are also strict of the viewing, you need to arrive 30mins early to only see very few of the little guys.... It was just okay, we still had fun. It's a cute experience. Haha

I had made a reservation for a tasting and we arrived a little early but they were so nice. We don't even know they weren't open yet! They allowed us to walk around the cute little area while we waited and take in the scenery. I am a huge Disney fan and this is such a great place to have a get together with friends. My husband took me here as a stop during a weekend getaway and it did not disappoint. The wines are delicious! The young lady who served us was so knowledgeable! The only downside is that they have food trucks which is not a downside at all. BUT all seating is outside. We will definitely be back though.

I'm so glad my cell phone tracks my location, I came across a reel on social media on Briar Rose Winery the night before and luckily I was still @ San Diego, I asked the wonderful hubby- my uber driver, if he can take me. Not knowing where Temecula is located, it sounds far to me. hehe. We squeezed this in as Briar Rose Winery has a closing time of 5 pm on a Saturday. It was already after 3, when we made the drive. It was a nice drive heading in to Temecula. It is located all the way in the hills but I am glad it is not windy and curvy. Driving on the highway to get to BR, I enjoyed the scenery, the super huge rocks in the mountains are huge and curious why it is white?. Parking is located in front of the huge lot, you will see an "Open" sign, enter through that sign, upon entering, you will see where the magic begins! Such a lovely place, like Deja Vu again, seeing all the reels and being there in real life. We were greeted by lovely hostess, Peggy. After we our seating for 2, We walked around to explore the premises, took tons of photos., feeling so grateful & so happy that I get to be here! They had an event going on and looks like a big party. This is for sure a very adorable place for the ladies/girlies to hang out! (My poor hubby!) No charcuterie board/food was available for purchase as they were sold out. I guess its wine for us, ( hard to drink w/out some bites) I did the wine tasting ( went with the Reds, 5 different tasting for $30.) The hubby took a few sips of the wine and he said he is already buzz. lol. That is not good because he is my Uber driver, haha. The wines are really good- very strong & smooth. The grand finale of the wine, was $135. bottle of cabarnet sauvignon- bourdeaux style! All Rose Briar wines are produced at here at their winery and only produced in small batches, only sold at Briar Rose, not available in stores. Here is a fun fact for all ya Disney fanatics, Briar Rose was built by a Disney Imagineer in the 1960s, Briar Rose is in reference to Sleeping Beauty. There are many pieces of Disneyland throughout the property. Go explore and check it out! They also have a boutique store of lovely floral/colorful dresses , like for a princess theme. Keep in mind that, Briar Rose Winery hours are Friday-Sunday from 12-5 pm. All in all, I had a great time and charming visit. I need to go back here with my daughter, she is the true Disney fan but not a fan of wine so I can drink it for her!

The ambience is absolutely amazing! So much detail in history here! Definitely, will go back! The charcuterie from grazing theory is amazing there, the wine incredible absolutely love the rosé!

the beautiful Dorian. such a captivating energy

This is such a lovely winery with truly exceptional wines! You can really feel the heart and history behind every bottle -- their grapes are family-grown and personally curated to create the perfect wine. I had the best time with Peggy and Dorian, who was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all my wine questions with passion and warmth. She even shared about her 46 years of friendship with Peggy and showed photos of how they process the grapes -- from offering prayers to the harvest to transforming them into wine. The winery has a quaint, mellow, and peaceful vibe, with about ten charming garden tables and larger ones for groups. My favorite wine was the Riesling -- absolutely divine! Did i mention that this is a 52 or 58 acres vineyard:) Thank you, Briar Rose Winery, for such a serene and magical experience. I'll definitely be back!

riar Rose Winery is pure magic! We booked a private picnic for eight girls, and it was such a dream experience. You get to choose your own meats and cheeses, and the spread also includes fresh bread, a delicious hummus, and a flavored cream cheese that was amazing. The owner was overwhelmingly kind and made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The whole setting felt so magical -- surrounded by fairytale charm and unique Disney touches. We even learned some fun facts about the Disney Imagineer who helped create the winery, which made it all the more special. The wine itself was exceptional -- made with no preservatives and honestly the best I've ever had. I would come here every single time I visit Temecula without a doubt. A truly enchanting experience!

From Patches the cat, to my new hand made flower crown, we had a lovely day. With the secret entrance through the hedge you really feel like you're stepping into an old dreamy cottage setting. The small Disney inspirations throughout are very lovely. We sat under the trees and watched butterflies float by while drinking wine, what more could you ask for. Ps- you can help the staff by making a reservation, and be ready to listed to a lot of Elvis

Briar Rose is such a cute winery to visit! Definitely add this place to your itinerary but make sure you make reservations first. We didn't order any food but I know they do offer nibbles. The service was excellent and it was a lovely afternoon on their yard area.

Aftin J.

This was our first and favorite winery of the day. Obviously the draw of the place is that the house/winery itself is based of Snow Whites Cottage. It does feel like a bit of a fairytale when you are here. I made a reservation for an early time slot on Friday but it wasn't crowded at all. I can imagine it does get quite packed on the weekends however. I went with the mixed tasting and I have to say I enjoyed the Pinot Grigio the most when I'm not typically a white wine person. An absolute must visit.

Ysela F.

Absolutely love this place ! The owners are amazing, kind, and loving ! You can tell that this place is family owned and care about the community, and people. I'm not a wine person but I'm always up for a beautiful ambiance. They let you take as many pictures as you want! Oh also love love loveeee there jam and crackers !

Manor
KayAnna S.

Such a magical and whimsy winery! They have a lot of outdoor seating options for tastings that overlook their beautiful manor. They do add a lot of decor to match their enchanting theme, from apples in trees, Snow White Merch, to frog wine, their details are endless. You do have to make a reservation ahead of time in order to have a tasting, which I would recommend anyways because they are constantly busy, especially on beautiful sunny days. Our server was incredibly attentive and kind. She was on it. As soon as our glasses emptied, she was already there with our next round for each of our tastings. We couldn't ask for more! For the tasting itself, I quite enjoyed it! They offer a white, red, and mixed tasting. I love a bit of both so a mixed tasting is always perfect for me. I was quite delighted with their mixed tasting as it included two white, one rosé, and two red tastings. My personal favorite was their rosé. I'm quite picky when it comes to rosé as I don't like it too dry or too sweet. They have a perfect balance between the two with a gentle crisp. While I enjoyed each glass in my tasting, I did favor their reds more than their whites. The bottles of each wine are also beautiful and a great keepsake from the winery. I can't wait to go back to show more family members and friends such a fun and delightful winery.

Such a intimate and cozy location.. Everyone here is so welcoming and cheerful... I could stay her for hours.. Wine is tasty... Overall a beautiful place with a fun back story... Great place for a wedding.

The front of the winery cottage and little boutique shop on the side.
Dee C.

Beautiful winery in a Disney style fairytale cottage with outside tasting area. Delicious wines, a nice family story behind the winery. Attentive service. Family owned. Plenty of free parking. I feel like Temecula has beautiful wineries, but it's a good idea to bring your own snacks along the journey to all of the wineries in the area. Food offerings aren't common at the tasting areas overall. Nice that this winery had a snacks menu.

Ask the Community - Briar Rose Winery

Would we be able to bring a picnic lunch, if we purchased 10 wine tastings and a few bottles to share?

Absolutely! Bringing a picnic lunch to enjoy alongside the wine tasting is a great way to enhance your wine tasting experience and have a delightful outdoor meal. We are more than happy to accommodate visitors who want to bring their own food, but… 

If booking a 4:45 reservation but winery closes at 5, do you only get 15 minutes to complete your tasting?

Hi Leeann, Wine tastings take approximately 1 hour. A 4:45pm reservation is possible to make on a Saturday because we are open until 6pm during the summer. If you have any… 

Does Briar Rose offer champagne/sparkling wine? All I could find was white or reds.. maybe there is an updated menu I am not privy to

How much do wine flights cost?

They ranged from $23-$30 when I was there in May! The white wine flight is the cheapest, and the red wine flight the most expensive.

Can I bring outside food or is food available?

We were at a wedding but I know that you can absolutely bring your own food and sit outside while enjoying everything

Can the deal offered on Yelp "$25 for $35" be used on Saturdays?

Yes, please call 951.308.1098 for your reservation when ready. Take care,

Can you bring your child?

My apologizes for the late response as we are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. No, all persons must be 21 years of age or older to visit our property. I hope you have a wonderful day.

I decided to…read morevisit here recently with family to sample some wines together, and the experience left much to desire. If you're not part of their wine club membership, you will be forced to sit in their lawn area--the seats and views are not great and the space is very limited. Meanwhile, their membership area has lounge tables and cooling fans, but it is strictly reserved for members despite it being completely empty at the time. The associates at the wine tasting room were not welcoming nor were they attentive either as they often talked amongst themselves even with patrons around. With how long Miramonte Winery has been around, it's unfortunate to see the service and ambiance go completely downhill. There are plenty of other wineries in Temecula at this point that I would rather visit than to come here again. I strongly suggest going elsewhere if you want to visit a winery with great atmosphere and views. I gave an extra star because the place is not the worst, it looks to be clean, the wine is decent, but the winery itself is far from good nor is it worth your time or money.

Very Disappointing Experience - Bolero at Europa Village…read more I am not a member of Europa Village, but I went to Bolero specifically because I wanted to try their "large seafood paella." Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. We were a group of 10 people, and our server was very pushy about ordering the chicken paella and suggested getting two small paellas instead of the large seafood paella we originally wanted. I felt like she was not listening to what our group actually wanted, and the service was not good. The seafood paella was $70, which I expected to be worth the price. Unfortunately, the rice was burned, and there was almost no seafood--just one shell and a very tiny piece of calamari buried in a large amount of rice. The rice tasted like packaged or prepared rice, rather than freshly made paella. We also tried the chicken paella, and it was just as disappointing. There was only one piece of chicken with a large amount of rice, and nobody in our group liked it. Almost everyone at our table had a negative comment about the paella. In the end, we were so disappointed that we left most of the food and threw it away. For $70, I expected a much better-quality dish, especially from a winery restaurant. The should call "RICE PAELLA," Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to our expectations, and I would not order the paella again.

I was particularly disappointed in what they presented as a charcuterie board. There were no jams, olives, or brie, and the overall presentation was pretty underwhelming. The walnuts presentation were also soft and soggy. How do walnuts get that way unless they've been sitting out too long?! The "charcuterie board" came in a square paper box and for $42.00, I expected a much better presentation and options. Honestly, it just felt blah and wasn't what I would typically expect from a winery. Overall, the wine, service, and beautiful surroundings made for an enjoyable visit. I just wish the food offerings and presentation were more in line with the rest of the experience. I'd consider coming back for the wine and scenery, but I hope they improve their food selection. On another note, my friend order the truffle fries. It was okay but it was barely dusted with truffle.

There were Adirondack chairs outside, cornhole, etc. It was such a welcoming place. There were food trucks from which to purchase Mexican food etc. out in the parking lot. After Covid, they expanded which is great. The comfy Adirondack chairs turned into metal tables and chairs. The space feels much more crammed. It does not feel so relaxed anymore. And as for the employees, snarky comments should never be tolerated. My daughter-in-law had her mother's retirement party at this establishment. Initially, the woman she talked to on the phone was not very helpful or welcoming. Some other gentleman was VERY helpful and gave the impression that this party was welcome here. On the night of the event, 15 people actually showed up. We had three tables inside. There was one party of 4 in the back corner. The place was empty. There were a few people outside enjoying the live music. The music was great. Anyway, we brought some of our Somerset wines from home but also ordered beers, pizza and champagne. It's not like we were merely using their facility with no benefit to them. A couple came in and used another inside table. Again, there was still open seating inside. We weren't loud. We were respectful. We spent money. When it came time to cut the cake, we asked to borrow a knife. The female employee's comment was, "We can't lend you a knife. This is why we tell people to bring cupcakes" in a very condescending and rude tone. There was absolutely no excuse for that demeanor. She should have been kind. And as a side note, any time someone from our party walked up to the tasting counter, the employees didn't acknowledge them. A male and female were talking to each other and told us we needed to wait. What kind of customer service is that?? I've read through many of the comments and it sounds like bridal parties and bachelor parties are perfectly acceptable. And we all know how rowdy they can get. But our quiet retirement party did not feel welcomed. Go to Peltzer if you're in the area. Great vibe! Very chill! Amazing Sangrias and slushies.

The employees were friendly. The food offerings when we were there were very minimal. The crowd was overwhelmingly in their 20's, which if representative is fine, but also telling in terms of the appeal of the wines here to more experienced palates. Speaking of which, we did not really care for any of the reds that we tasted. We did not taste a single wine that we would be interested in buying. They lacked body, balance, and complexity. I should add that the wine tasting room is also the barrel room, yet it was at room temperature. Red wine barrels are supposed to be stored at 55 - 60F, not room temp. All other wineries manage this temperature requirement vigorously. This is most certainly affecting the taste of the final product. I know this place has good reviews, but it just doesn't seem to be up to the standard of some of the nicer wineries in Temecula.

To share and each a cocktail. Sooooo the appetizer comes. And we're waiting a few and then a few turns into 10 minutes. We are almost done with our appetizer. No server in sight I look over to the bar no drinks. So I go up to the Hose stand to ask where our drinks are it appears there might've been a manager there, but they ran away. The host said where are you pointed at our table. Got our server. She came over to let us know that they were waiting on juice. We now have our second course and luckily our drink. I probably would've ordered another cocktail, but it was already 25 minutes into our meal. So I did order finally a glass of wine. To go with our paella. We had a tomato salad with that was lacking in flavor and very underwhelming. The paella comes we have the seafood one. It is hot. It is also overcooked, and I saw no calamari and we had very little seafood. I would say this was not the best paella I have had. Which is unfortunate as my friend kept saying this is the best she ever had when she had been there before. I asked her if she ever had been to café Seville. Where they have what I consider the best paella. But this is also Temecula so I really don't expect much from this area. They were very busy so maybe I just had a bad moment and I hope that that is true and everyone else has a great experience there. I wish a manager had been present to be aware of what was happening on the floor during a possible breakfast to lunch transition
