    Nice Brunch here at Doffo. The champagne/Mimosa flights are a bit pricey at $50/bottle. Food was average but tasty. The atmosphere was nice with old scooters and motorcycles. The restaurant is outdoors but shaded with ceiling fans and misters. Service was good. We had a very nice server. It would have been nice to have our dirty plates removed while we sat and socialized after eating. None of our spent plates were ever removed. The restaurant servers are different than the wine servers so you would have to pay separately for wine.

    Outstanding small winery with personalized service. We went on the busy and warm 4th of July weekend. Inspite of the crowd, the service was excellent. Lots of indoor, outdoor and patio seating with beautiful decor. The wines, though expensive for Temecula were excellent, especially their reds. I would highly recommend doing a tasting for around $39, which is comped if you buy or become a member. The food was very good too.

    Beautiful day for brunch and wine tasting.

    4 1/2 stars. We arrived for some wine tasting and sat at one of many patios where you can dine and wine taste. This was my third visit after joining their wine club. Shout out to Jacob our sommelier who I met previously. Jacob is friendly, attentive and our tasting was casual, but we enjoyed many pours, and he even created a blend of their popular zinfindal and their Paulia sparkling wine. I really enjoyed our wine tasting here and the enjoyed the food at The Brunch House where we enjoyed the rib eye chimichurri fries and chicken sammie with our tasting. I'm already looking foward to my next visit.

    Recently visited Doffo Winery and, once again, I'm just not a huge fan of wine tasting in this region. I tend to prefer spots in Paso Robles or Napa Valley. The price point felt high for what you get, and nothing really stood out--except maybe the limoncello freeze. That said, the grounds are beautiful, the vineyard views are great, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. On a nice, sunny day, it's definitely a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the scenery.

    Daffo is the Hard Rock of the Temecula wineries. They have two tasting areas. The first room is for lounging and is very similar vibe to other wineries in the area...beautiful fresh floral views and wine flowing at a fast pace. The second room is for rocking out. They have tons of motorcycles hanging from the walls, killer merch, and a mixture of high and low top tables. Very fun to check out, and totally unique to the other wineries in the area. The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. They cater to the notion that it's about what you like and not necesarily what is liked by the general population...and I love that. The wines in my opinion are the best in temecula, although I have visited about 70% of the wineries so I'll keep you posted if I find a notable contender. You must try the Vermintino...it's worth the visit alone. They also have chimchurri and other items for sale which are quite good. Go check it out next time your in the area, you won't regret it.

    Came here for brunch and we ended up splitting a bottle of their sparkling called Paulina. It was crips and sweet. Brunch was tasty and came out quickly. Service was good. I need to come back for an actual tasting

    If you're looking for exceptional reds in Temecula, Doffo Winery is a MUST visit! Doug was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, guiding us to the tastings that perfectly matched what we were looking for. I had the $32 MOTOROSSO and my husband enjoyed the $38 ROSSO, both were fantastic (we shared our tastings). Their reds are truly the best I've had in Temecula. By the end of our tastings, we already knew which ones were coming home with us: 2022 Syrah, 2021 Petite Sirah, and 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve....sooo GOOD! As for the atmosphere, very warm and very inviting. You can tell a lot of thought went into the space. The motorcycle collection is such a cool, unique touch and makes the whole experience feel that much more memorable. 100% Highly recommend making a stop here. We'll definitely be returning next time we're in Temecula!

    We had the best time at Doffo. The wines are amazing especially the 2023 Syrah and the 2023 Zin. Melody was the best, she was so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, even though the tasting room was packed. She made our day! Thank you Melody!

    We went to Temecula for the day to celebrate my birthday. We stopped by Doffo. Doffo is not where all the big wineries are. It's smaller and off the beaten path. We did a tasting and then we were given a private tour of the motorcycle museum which we did not expect so that was super cool. The owner of the winery collects vintage motorcycles and fixes them up. These were really neat to see. The oldest motorcycle was from 1947! Their wines are great too! My favorite was the sparkling one. The labels on their bottles are really neat! Go on a weekend. The museum is open then. We went on a weekday but our connoisseur was sweet to give us a tour! We will definitely be back! I need to pick up a bottle of their sparkling wine!

    Enjoying the bikes!

    I'm not a huge wine person, but I have learned that a good glass of wine occasionally helps me tolerate my husband's hobby of drinking... so here we are. Luckily for him, Doffo is his absolute favorite winery. Luckily for me, I'm obsessed with the food from The Brunch House, the views, and all the incredible motorcycles. We've been here hundreds of times and it somehow never gets old. As a wife of an Argentine, I love seeing the owner's roots and culture woven throughout the experience, it makes the place feel even more special and authentic. Today we came to watch the Brazil vs. Haiti World Cup game (let's just say Brazil did not come to play around ), and it was such a fun atmosphere. But whether there's a game on or not, Doffo is a vibe. The property has beautiful vineyard views, a large tasting room, patio seating, an outdoor area by The Brunch House, and my personal favorite... the barrel room. It's filled with amazing motorcycles, parts, memorabilia, and pieces of the owner's motto life. You can spend a surprising amount of time just walking around and taking it all in. The Brunch House is another reason I keep coming back. Their empanadas, burgers, and fries are seriously delicious. I wouldn't necessarily call it the most kid-friendly winery, but I always bring my kid and we make it work. There's enough open space to enjoy yourselves while soaking in the atmosphere. Out of all the wineries in Temecula, this one offers something truly fun. It's not just wine tasting, it's history, culture, motorcycles, amazing food, and stunning views all wrapped into one experience.

    Doffo Winery is one of the more popular wineries in Wine Country, Temecula, with numerous accolades under their belt. We wanted to try a wine tasting here in Southern California, so we stopped by in autumn of 2024. Prices are moderate, in the $30s for 4-6 wines depending on your course. We wanted to try the Rosso Tasting ($38) as our server recommended it for anyone starting their wine tasting journey: it featured their popular wines and balanced well with whites and reds. We really liked their 2021 Zinfandel, a well-crafted blend of rich fruit aromas (figs, cherries, plum) in an easy-to-drink red wine. Our server was also kind enough to allow us to try 2 drinks from the Misto tasting, since we did not want to double up on the same wine from doing 2 of the same tasting. Overall, the tasting was a pleasant and elevated experience. We liked being able to enjoy the outdoor patio, scenic views of the vineyard, while savoring the tastes of the various wines crafted at Doffo! I would definitely recommend this winery to anyone in the area.

    Beautiful wines here

    We absolutely love this this winery and their family. They treat their members as royalty! Came here for a members seafood boil and it was magical. The service is top notch! The winery ambiance is best of Temecula in the barrel room. Best reds n zins in Temecula by far! Multiple award winner year after year!!! We love Doffo for life!!!!

    Cheers

    Ask the Community - Doffo Wines

    Is out side food welcome?

    Rule of thumb is if a business is selling food, it's not as welcoming to bring some in . Might be health depth rule. So just call n ask.

    It's a winery. Nothing for kids to do or to roam around.

    If I'm coming from Burbank ca and cannot drive what's the best travel to your location if I fly? I'm coming to an event at your location in April. Thank you in advance

    If you insist on flying and not taking the train then Ontario or San Diego or OC would be your best best.

    Do you have live music on Saturdays?

    Yes Saturdays and Sundays!

    Is the winery dog friendly?

    They now allow dogs 🐶

    Do you allow dogs at the MotoGP viewings?

    Only service dogs are allowed.

    First and foremost, I will NEVER be visiting this winery EVER again. To anyone that reads this…read morereview, YOU ARE WARNED you will be subjected to the worst experience and customer service that you will probably have to ever endure. My Wife and I are appalled over what happened. To the Business Owner, Cane V., you need to train your employees, the faces of YOUR everyday business, to be more EMOTIONALLY INTUITIVE and PROFESSIONAL and have GENERAL MATURITY. Where do I start? If you are looking for a winery that has an unprofessional, rowdy brewery atmosphere that attracts Entitled Stank Faced Boomer Temecula Wine Moms and their Snobby Little Cliques LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Our Experience: my Wife and I came over to sample some wines from this winery that was recommended from a friend. On the Winery Website, you can do 2 different types of wine tastings: Classic Tastings of 6 wines of your choice or a Private Wine Tasting of 8 different ones for a higher price. This is what initially attracted my Wife and I to this winery in the first place (big mistake on our end). Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that wine tasting is no longer being offered at all. The incompetent red haired bartender at the front entrance provided us with no other alternative other than "Yea we don't offer that anymore, you can do by the glass or by the bottle." Her tone changed completely when I asked her about the Club they advertise everywhere. She then tells us that they are booked for the day, however the BAR and LAWN area are open seating, after 8PM everything is open seating. It was 6:30/7PM so we decided by that point, we'll wait for a spot to open up and enjoy some wine then in the meantime. We figured, it's just the 2 of us so we should have luck finding a spot. At the bar area, I noticed that 3 seats were left unattended. The people there got up and left, no drinks were left behind or any "Reservation" placards were placed to notify people. I walk over, sit down and wave to my Wife to come and sit at the bar area. We sat down, sipped some of our wine for 10-15 minutes. Bar had 2 people working, a gentleman and heavier set Blonde lady. Both of them never said anything and nothing was ever exchanged between us and the heavier set Blond lady. I was even thinking about buying a beer or cocktail and thankfully I didn't. Shortly after this time, an EXTREMELY RUDE, ENTITLED, and VISIBLY DRUNK lady and her husband RUDLY went in between my Wife and I and COMMANDED we leave her spots. My Wife and I laughed at her and were genuinely confused because the BAR IS OPEN SEATING, THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS FOR OPEN SEATING. She then gets even more angry and DEMANDS we leave or else, says to my Wife and I "YOU're GOING TO LEAVE NOW," I tell the lady to kick rocks, it's open seating then she enters the bar area to talk to the heavier set Blond bar tender that we wont move. The Blond bar tender THEN has the AUDACITY to tell us "They have been sitting here all night, YOU TWO need to leave immediately." My Wife and I look at each other and absolutely laugh it off at the sheer absurdity of everyone's tone towards us. Who do you think you are to blatantly kick us out ON OPEN SEATING? Either you are severely undertrained from the Owner or you as a staff member play favorites with other entitled customers. Both of which are absolutely absurd. Upon this interaction, my Wife and I leave and go right down the street to Europa Winery and sampled several wines and had a $250 dinner at Bolero. Here, the experience was a complete 180° and we should've never wasted our time at Miramonte Winery being subjected to the nastiness from the Temecula Trash. If you are a large party, or wanting to host private events, I STRONGLY recommend ANYWHERE else besides Miramonte Winery. The Staff here is atrocious, rude, immature and ugly. I pride myself in never leaving nasty reviews but this experience changed everything moving forward.

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.

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.

    We have lived in Temecula over 14 years now. We love enjoying all of the wineries and have been…read moremembers at several of them over the years! We find ourselves revisiting Akash, but never crossed over from taster to member. UNTIL Nisreen Rafeedie was hired, she brings the best smile, experience, and makes you feel like family. What you experience at Akash, when Nisreen is behind the counter: - You are creating a friendship! -She gives every person who walks through the door the best service! -She is knowledgeable about Wine and will work with you to find perfect taste to meet your palette! These are just a few amazing things that we love about her and why we signed up to be members. Hands down, she elevates Akash as bringing one of the best wineries in the Valley. You got a gem when she came to Akash.

    Not impressed. The wine tasting room is very industrial feeling, like you're drinking wine inside…read moreof a Costco. The counters where you drink wine are on wheels, which gives it even more of an industrial feel . The building itself is not that pretty. It looks like an old airplane hanger. The fixtures inside, such as the lighting, were a bit cheap looking. The furniture inside was comfortable. The wine tasting room has no restrooms inside. The building was filled with flies that kept landing on our heads. The grounds are very nice, with nice views, comfortable outside furniture, and equipped with misters and heaters. 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.

    I really wanted to like this place.. unfortunately not a great experience. We had a reservation…read morelater in the day on a Sunday. We checked-in. They said cleaning our table. Great get seated after 2 big parties. Also in a booth in the bar area. Very nice booth. We were sat without menus first. Luckily a nice bartender I assume gave us menus. Nobody came for at least 5 minutes as we decided on drinks and all are food. Finally got a server, ordered everything because we were ready. An appetizer, a salad, and paella. 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
