It is in San Bernardino but please DO NOT judge this book by its covers because what comes out from what is within is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! They have a variety of cold and hot sandwiches and salads! My favorite is the turkey club is too simple to describe their sandwich called the Green Shack Signature sandwich. The shaved Turkey Breast, the crispy bacon the creamy avocado, the shaved iceberg lettuce all the ingredients TOP NOTCH! One of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had in a long time!! Got it as a combo with their Jalapeño popper potato salad RYFKM! Dam that was good!! Tried it with their Farmers Punch so refreshing!! My wife ordered the Summer in Rome salad with Burrata cheese, crispy salami marinated artichoke hearts roasted grape tomatoes on a bed of romaine lettuce and she loved it!!. Super cool service very friendly making you feel at home for our first time there!! I am definitely going back and I'm spreading the word!! You have to come out and try them! I get the wait time but you can't rush quality!!! So be patient you won't be disappointed!!

From day one, Rachel made us feel welcome. Her warmth is genuine, her energy is contagious, and her professionalism never misses a beat. She has this rare ability to make every visit feel personal, not transactional. And let's be real... her hugs alone are worth the membership. Rachel consistently goes above and beyond, creating an experience that feels more like family than a winery visit. We appreciate her more than we can put into words and feel lucky every time we get to see her. Food and ambience are also amazing however anytime we react with Rachel it's the perfect day.

My husband and I came down from LA for my birthday weekend, and Wiens was easily one of our…read morefavorite stops. My sister has been raving about their red wines forever, so we finally had to check it out. The whole vibe of the place is amazing! Right when we walked in, the host took us to our reserved table with a delicious charcuterie board. We did a private tasting, and Brian, the winemaker, actually gave us a behind the scenes tour. The best highlight was when he let us taste a brand new, unreleased Barbera and Pinot Noir blend straight out of the tank! Such a cool, VIP experience. When we came back to our table, other wine club members were asking us all about it. I'm not gonna lie, I felt like I was that girl lol. The barrel room also has this moody lighting that is perfect for photos, and the entire staff was super welcoming. Sharon our server took great care of us. They really went out of their way to make my birthday setup feel extra special. If you're looking for delicious wine and a great atmosphere in Temecula, definitely add this to your list. We will absolutely be back!

Recently visited Wiens Family Cellars for a tasting. The venue is huge with plenty of seating, but…read moreoverall it wasn't my favorite experience. The wines were just okay and felt a bit overpriced for the quality. I've definitely enjoyed tastings more in Paso Robles. It does get very busy on weekends, so if you're looking for something more low-key, I'd recommend going during the week. A very nice touch though was that we were able to bring our own charcuterie spread.

We like coming to the Temecula Valley wine country. In many ways it reminds us of Santa Barbara, or…read moreSanta Ynez, just twenty or so years younger. Up in Santa Barbara, Fess Parker used his Daniel Boone Disney money in the 50's to buy up acreage. See the movie Sideways for more on this. Here in Temecula, you had Vincenzo Cilurzo (another Hollywood refugee), whose weekday job was that as a Light Director for Merv Griffin, see IMdB. Vincenzo and his wife Audrey planted 40 acres and that are considered Temecula's first vines in 1968, then along came Ely Callaway, then Joe Hart and the rest is history. We have visited over a dozen plus vineyards in Temecula and they're all a lot of fun. Each offers up a little history and a taste of their best for a few bucks. The wineries we continue to return to are Callaway, Wilson, Wiens, Hart, Ponte and South Coast. If you find one you like, I would recommend joining their wine club. Many of the wines aren't sold in discount stores. We would also suggest trying some the restaurants attached to the Winery, like Meritage at Callaway. As a postscript, Vincenzo & Audrey Cilurzo sold their winery in 2004 to Imre & Gizella Czirakis and they renamed it Bella Vista. Vincenzo died last year, but the family stayed in the Temecula area. Enjoy!

The way the veranda is framed with greenery looking out at the hills is stunning. Miramonte is still one of my favorite places in Temecula Wine Country!

We sampled a couple of wines before making our selection, then headed outside and stood by the bar.

That said, based solely on this visit, I can say this experience was better than the previous one.

Debbie was our guide and Kurt was our driver. When you get to the winery, Debbie provides you with a drink card. You get six taste tests (1/3rd of a glass) that is checked off by the wine stewards. The whole adventure takes about 4 hours. Overall, it was fun and a great opportunity to try different wines and see the beautiful wineries in temecula. Now, why the 4 star rating?? ~The bus featured a great sound system where we could choose songs from an ipad. But it was unbelievably warm inside. It was a hot day and the AC seemed to not be working, leaving most of us sticky. We were told to open one window at the front and at the end of the bus to let the air flow. After the first stop, most people just opened all the windows to get a breeze. One guy was close to just taking off his shirt. ~We felt that one of our stops at mount Palomar winery was rushed. Our package did include a charcuterie. And we ordered some other appetizers right when we arrived. We ended up having to cancel them since it still wasnt done and we were heading out. This also led to rushing to get the remaining sample tastes. A reciept check showed it was a 30 min visit. ~My other minor disappointment was that our guide stated they could only take photos through their phone and not our own. But Debbie's photos often came out with this unfocused glare. Rather than something crispy clear. So we took group selfies instead. You might want to take a selfie stick.

One of the biggest appeals is its peace, quiet, and the open back patio that overlooks acres and acres of vineyards. The room itself was spacious with a huge king-sized bed. The bathroom was also big with both a tub and shower. Other amenities included a pool, a restaurant on-site, and complimentary shuttles to other wineries in the area. They also offer hot air balloon and spa packages. The only thing was that the fridge was not that cold so our water and food weren't very cold overnight. The tasting room is on-site closer to the front of the property and when staying at the resort you get $5 off their wine tasting ($30 for 5). We came here after we checked out of our room and our favorite was the cuvée prestige. This place is very peaceful and secluded which makes for the perfect weekend getaway. It's pricey but it's relaxing with beautiful vineyard views.

It's such an educational tour. We highly recommend visiting LetterPress Chocolate Factory and already shared about our experience with family and friends. Once we arrived and checked in Corey handed us hairnets and masks to prevent any contamination in the facility. She is so nice and friendly and explained the process to us (party of 5). David the speaker and tour guide was excellent. We learned so much about the process on how to grow and cultivate cacao trees then ferment cacao. He educated us about the process to the completion from the bean to bar and packaging of chocolate. He also informed us the quality versus quantity of chocolate manufacturing. Which was very interesting. During this whole process David showed videos, slides and also had us try cacao beans and different types from different parts of the world. From there we moved on to the chocolate factory and how they are made. We then placed our masks on once we entered the closed section. It was fun and unforgettable experience. Everyone in our party of 5 enjoyed it. We also got to try more samples. After the chocolate factory tour we bought some ice cream and LetterPress Chocolates. Definitely fine and quality chocolate. We are so thankful for this experience and have now looked at the chocolate manufacturing and producing process from a much better perspective.

She was super chill and fun, and just the kind of person you want to go beer tasting with. She is extremely knowledgeable about brewing, so it was awesome to hear about how the different beers are made, and understand why they taste the way they do. Second, can we talk about the fact that a fun bus picks you up and drives you to your preselected list of breweries? That alone is cause for celebration. And third, the beer tastings were tasty and varied, which I very much appreciated. We tried lagers, IPAs, porters, saisons, wheat ales, etc. A total of 12 tastings, and all expertly picked. So, all that said, I'd definitely go again and try a few new breweries!
