Erika was fire. Would only come back to her. She knew everything about everything. The price of the tour was reasonable too and the views were amazing. read more

Just had a great tasting experience with Amanda! I love whites and bubbles and her recommendations were spot on!

Amanda C was amazing, I don't drink much wine but she mixes a couple to find what I liked. It's was yummy.

Okay... this place turned us into winery people We actually came to Callaway Vineyard & Winery for a surprise birthday trip and had zero expectations of becoming members, but that's exactly what happened. We started at Meritage and WOW. We ordered the burgers, grilled octopus, spicy shrimp, and shrimp salad, and everything was incredible. The octopus was cooked perfectly with so much flavor, and the spicy shrimp had the best kick. Honestly, every single thing we had was amazing. After that, we took some pictures in front of the Callaway sign (the views are insane), then headed over to the winery, and that's when everything changed. Dave helped us at first and was super welcoming, but then we met Daniel, and he completely made the experience. He was so knowledgeable, so kind, and just genuinely connected with us. Because of him, we joined the wine club, and now we literally come back at least once a week. Laura (his manager) remembered us from our previous visits, which was honestly so cool. The banter between her and Daniel with us makes the whole experience even more fun. We also met Krystal, their higher-up manager, who happened to be next to us in the tasting room, she was just as amazing. And Shannon even reached out to personally welcome me after we joined, which was such a nice touch. And the craziest part? I drive from Simi Valley, through terrible traffic, just to come here. That's how much we love it. The views, the staff, the whole vibe, it honestly feels like I'm back at my ranch in Mexico just relaxing with family. That's the best way I can describe it. If you're thinking about coming here, just do it. You might walk in for a visit and leave as a member like we did. read more

Came back to this winery and brought my parents this time, and it was such a lovely experience. We visited middle of the week, so it was nice and --no crowds at all. The vineyard views were beautiful, and the whole setting made it easy to slow down and just relax. It was one of those perfect California days with sunshine, fresh air, and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely a great spot to unwind and enjoy a quiet, scenic outing. read more

Did a tour with Dave, and followed by a tasting. The tour was enjoyable, started with a glass of champagne. I was a bit surprised you had to buy a tasting + the tour. But overall it was still worth it. Beautiful location. Wine is good, it's a bit costly compared to other wineries but enjoyed our time there. The tasting room got extremely loud, it was quite annoying. But we were able to outside instead. read more

If you're looking for a good quiet spot to have a nice glass of wine, then Callaway is the place to be. The weather was beautiful, sun shining and nice breeze. I had a tasting and my favorite glass was my final glass that was a mix of the late harvest and a white which turned out to be refreshing and sweet. I am NOT a wine person so apologies for not being more specific about what I was drinking lol! Staff was nice and pours came fast, definitely like this spot! read more

The view at Callaway is beautiful. Definitely perfect for an intimate wedding or a photo op. But when it comes to the service and wine, there's definitely better options around Temecula. The pour is way less than an oz and also they are not personable at all. read more

We were first time visitors on 3/25/26. Very much enjoyed the views and the wines. Our server Sierra was very friendly , knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend! Oh, and we also were able to use a military discount! Kudos to Callaway for offering that! read more

Current member can't wait to cancel. When joined, staff accommodated & show cased wine variety & Gio's wine blends. Recent visit, staff was inattentive, lack of wine descriptions & when I didn't like red sample, staff member said " that's ok I didn't make it", what else do you want to taste. Server had bad attitude & appeared she didn't want to be there. Didn't feel like a member & experience was very poor & disappointing. If we could give negative rating we'd mark a minus 4 star read more

This was a stop on our wine tour and they had a private barrel set up for tasting. The wine was great and the atmosphere was wonderful. The tasting room was very lively and busier than most of the other wineries we visited but the service was still fast and friendly. read more

Callaway was our first winery we stopped off at on our booked wine tour. Out of the three Callaway was the best! I think there are about 8 wine tickets, but you definitely don't need them all because ifykyk! Overall it was a great time for our group of 16, there is a big outside area. Their tasting room was welcoming and they had a large variety! They are dog friendly too! (dog didn't actually drink)! read more

My son got engaged in our beautiful hometown at Callaway Winery, and it truly couldn't have been a more perfect choice. After touring a few nearby wineries, Callaway stood out immediately. Gorgeous, welcoming, and exactly what we hoped for. Jen from the events team was amazing. She went above and beyond, made everything effortless, and treated this special day with so much care. The entire experience was unforgettable! Thank you, Callaway Winery and Jen, for making my son's engagement absolutely perfect! read more

Callaway Vineyard is proof that grapes live a better life than most of us. They get pampered in perfect rows, soaked in sunshine, and then transformed into wine that makes you forget about your boss, your bills, and the fact that you once thought boxed wine was fancy. The tasting room is gorgeous like, "I suddenly feel underdressed in my best Target outfit" gorgeous. Every sip had me convinced I was developing a sophisticated palate, though really I was just nodding like, "Yes, I totally taste the notes of... uh... fruit." And the views? Unreal. You could be sipping straight grape juice and still feel like royalty with those rolling vineyards around you. So if you're looking for a vineyard that'll make you feel classy while you secretly try to figure out how many glasses it takes before you start talking to the vines, then Callaway is your spot. read more

Amanda was awesome. Wine was great. Joined the wine club. Loved the gorgeous view from the patio and tasting room.

Nice open space, plenty of room for the entire crew. We took our furry friend and she loved it. Wine was tasty and staff were helpful. Knocking off a star for value. They were very stingy with their pours considering the price tag. Normally you'd want to evangelize your wines, they'd rather do extreme bean counting. read more

We love Callaway! Always have and always will, so much that the membership is worth it for us. However, today we visited the member area, and there was a server with long black hair and tattoos who was rather rude when closing was 15 minutes out. She took all of our tasting tabs even though we hadn't used them all and could proceed with tasting downstairs. After I let her know that we did give the appropriate amount to her, she still proceeded to take our last tabs. Her service was lack luster and she was so concerned with leaving that she left a horrible impression. read more

My husband and I have visited Callaway Winery several times now as part of a wine tour. Callaway Winery is my favorite winery in Temecula. The grounds are so beautiful and they have plenty of seating space. They also hold weddings there, which looks like a perfect wedding venue. Everything is so green and beautiful. The wine is delicious! I usually prefer white wine, but their red wine is also amazing. We had 6 tasting and we were able to choose from a list of wines which was nice. Most wineries have a preset list. Service is always good. We took our tasting's outside to enjoy the beautiful views, like always it was a perfect visit! read more

My husband and I decided to join the OPR wine club because the wine servers in the tasting room are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Ian, in particular, gave us great food recommendations, which we ended up trying and loved. The combination of delicious food, warm hospitality, and beautiful views made it an easy decision to become members. The venue itself is stunning and ideal for hosting all kinds of events from engagements and weddings to birthdays and baby showers. The upstairs members-only area offers a breathtaking view that's perfect for any special occasion. read more

This has been one of my top wineries to go for tastings. There was only one server working behind the bar and multiple people waiting for service. She got backed up trying to assist someone with a purchase. I went to the front and asked if we could use our tastings another day and was told no. I would expect a manager to come assist someone who's in the weeds. Another server showed up as we were complaining but we just asked for a large pour and headed out. Never coming back. read more

We stopped by on the way to Lake Elsinore. $25 for 6 tastes of wine and the selection of wines are vast. We wanted to buy a few wine glasses, however, they wanted $15 a glass - a bit steep. We then ate at the onsite restaurant Meritage: the menu was small and somewhat expensive. Overall, a good visit. read more

(3.7 out of 5) - Honest Review of Our Wedding at Callaway Winery My wife and I were married at Callaway Winery this fall and wanted to share a transparent review for future couples. The venue itself is stunning. The Tuscany-style views, the Barrel Room, and the West Lawn were even more beautiful in person than in photos. Our tour with Tanya made a great first impression and we even joined the wine club afterward because we genuinely liked their wines. Planning Experience The all-inclusive package made planning from out of state much easier, and Mariah, our main coordinator, was wonderful--responsive, patient, and helpful. That said, I'd still recommend couples hire a dedicated month-of or day-of coordinator to ensure small details don't get missed. Food Tasting Our first tasting was extremely disappointing. Several appetizers were served in small black plastic cups, the meatballs and sliders were cold and dry, and the entrées lacked seasoning. We paid extra to bring parents and our MOH, and it felt like a poor value given the quality. The second tasting, however, was excellent and restored our confidence. The only lingering issue was that, despite requesting multiple times that no appetizers be served in black plastic cups, they still appeared on the wedding day. Bar & Drinks This was our biggest frustration. We expected a full bar but later learned the venue only allows beer, wine, and lower-proof spirits. The "premium bar" still used very low-tier brands, and cocktails defaulted to plastic cups unless we rented glassware. We requested two bartenders repeatedly but only had one on the wedding day, which created long lines and pushed guests to switch to wine or beer. Drinks also lacked consistency because the bartender was free-pouring everything--one groomsman even asked, and the bartender replied, "Yeah, because I am baller." Not ideal for a black-tie wedding. Wedding Day Beyond the bar issues, the day was beautiful. The remodeled bridal suite is gorgeous, Soiree Floral made the dinner terrace look like a magazine, and the sunset over the vineyard was unreal. The Barrel Room was the perfect ending and the coffee bar was a huge surprise hit--hand-crafted lattes and chai were loved by everyone. Our DJ, Mark, kept the energy high all night. One unexpected stressor was being told at the end of the night that we needed to handle all breakdown, cleanup, and clearing of the suites ourselves. Our package mentioned setup and breakdown of personal décor, so we assumed this would be handled. Instead, we scrambled for over an hour and missed the first part of our after-party. Guest Feedback Guests raved about the venue, food, and overall atmosphere. The only consistent complaint was the long bar line. Final Thoughts Callaway is gorgeous, romantic, and has an amazing staff. We truly had a beautiful wedding. However, the bar limitations and staffing issues were the biggest drawback and not aligned with the elevated guest experience we envisioned. If bar service is not a priority, Callaway is a great choice. If it is, I recommend asking very specific questions upfront or considering other venues that offer a true full bar. read more

Went for the Fathers Day celebration and came away with pretty mixed but overall below average results. The weather was sweltering hot at 99 ° F the hottest day to date, and the sunroom turned into semi outdoor dining room with no air conditioning and mist blowing fan just didn't do anything for creature comfort that we needed for our dining. The service was decent. Due to the demands, the staffs were ill prepared to keep up with our reservation, but it didn't take too long for the lady to clean and set up the simple table with small dishes and utensils. The appetizers were decent but small portions for the price. It was made for individual serving but with Napa Valley prices. The best one was air fried cauliflower with few mushrooms and bacon. The Ahi Tartarè and Ceviche were decent. Problem arose with dinner salads. Cesar salad with white anchovies came out with room temperature romaine lettuce unwashed. The leaves were all black, shriveled as if they were left out few days after the expiration date. The Duck Leg Spätzle was atrocious. The German pasta was tasteless with no sign of semolina or herbs to bring out the robust flavor. It lacked true nutty deep flavor instead had bland flour flavor that I personally get turned off. The duck leg was cooked to make the meat only edible with leftover Neanderthal teeth. If you like plastic tough flavorless dark meat, you are in for the treat of your life. I rather enjoy the perfectly prepared Peking Duck at any time. The Father's Day special Tritip was well done and had Mac & Cheese as a side dish. The special day was not that special due to the mediocre foods. Hopefully it was an exceptional day not the norm. read more

This is our second time here for my wife and I. This time we came with some friends who haven't. Callaway is the first winery to come to Temecula in 1974. The location is awesome on top of a hill with great views and with great wines/tasting bar. This time we ate at their restaurant Meritage. The food is great and the service is even greater. We ordered the arugula flatbread and a cheese and charcuterie plate with a bottle of chardonnay. We had a great time enjoying the food with great friends and great wine. read more

Our wine specialist Laura V. Was amazing! So knowledgeable but also kind and just the right amount of friendly! The wines are wonderful, lighter in taste and feel. This is a great place to get wines for hot weather. Don't sleep on this winery, we were told it's been here since the 70s ( thanks for the efu action Laura) and the grounds are beautiful! You can also pick up some cute fifties, the blown glass wine glasses with sea creatures inside are so cute! A must stop. I'm 100% happy with my time here! read more

Callaway Vineyard & Winery - A nice glass of bella alluring sparkling red. Perfect on the patio overlooking the vines and mountains! - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

Compared to the other wineries, this one just didn't stand out. It's basically a patio with a partial view, set up just to take money for the wine. I wish they'd tried a little harder to create an experience--maybe a walk through the vines or something more immersive, with the plants and environment. Just sitting under a shade sail and drinking wine? I can do that in my backyard. read more

My wife and I visited Callaway when the tasting room was absolutely packed, yet Amanda made us feel like we were the only guests there. She cared for us with such warmth and attention, sharing both the wines and the winery's story with genuine pride highlighting the use of wild yeast fermentation which was particularly interesting! As Chief of Operations in New York City leading teams of over 145 people, I can say without hesitation that Amanda is exceptional. Thoughtful, professional, and caring--her love for what she does shines through. Callaway is lucky to have her. read more

We were doing a quick visit to Temecula wine country and kind of randomly picked a couple of wineries to try. Since Callaway was one of the oldest, and got recommendations on travel reviews we added it to the list. We were there on a Thursday, so we didn't have to worry about crowds at all. Callaway was easy to find and parking was plentiful. There were only a couple of other parties there while we were so we got very prompt and personal service. The tasting was $27 for 6 pours and you get to choose what you want from a pretty large menu of wines. Servers were friendly and offered suggestions when asked, but weren't super outgoing. The tasting room and grounds are nice, very clean and had good indoor and outside space, but for my taste, lacking a little in character. The wines were very good, but not exceptional. Would I return, probably. But my goal is to try several wineries to find my favorites. read more

We were here for a convention and did not taste any wine nor go inside any of their retail facilities. We were in the barrel room with 500 people and I must say that is probably too many people. Not sure who planned it, but it was too much togetherness and too hot in there. They did get more air conditioning and the people cleared out (as they do at multiple day conventions) so it was less cozy. The employees that sold water and snacks and the security were very friendly. The grounds were very clean. The bathrooms were plentiful and nice. There is an onsite restaurant, I had $28 worth of couscous, good but spendy. Beautiful views. Plenty of parking. Well marked signs to get in. Try to be there when the sun sets! read more

There wasn't a wine I tried that I didn't enjoy and we're looking forward to receiving our first shipment. The members' area upstairs is also nice and you really cannot beat the view between the tasting room and the restaurant - it's so beautiful! Definitely recommend stopping by for a tasting at the very least. read more
