A sign for Falkner Winery is mounted on two wooden posts on a hillside, with vineyard rows visible in the background. The landscape includes grassy slopes and scattered trees under a cloudy sky, indicating a rural setting near the winery.

This was a very peaceful experience. We came here as our second stop and decided to share a flight. They are very modern feeling with tables outside overlooking the vineyards. The service was ok and the wine was good. We came on a Sunday so it was pretty empty which made it a very peaceful experience.

Falkner Winery was the perfect venue for our October wedding. We specifically wanted a winery that offered both great food and a full bar (not just wine), and Faulkner checked every box. One of the biggest highlights was that their day-of coordinator, Victoria, was included--and she was fantastic. From the very beginning, the team provided a clear planning checklist and a list of trusted vendors, which made the entire process feel manageable (especially since we're not natural planners). Everything was organized, communication was strong, and it truly felt like working with a well-oiled machine. The venue itself is absolutely stunning--it genuinely feels like you're in Tuscany. The sunset views are unreal, and both the bridal suite and barrel room were beautiful spaces for getting ready and photos. The food was also a huge win. We did a tasting beforehand and loved it, and our guests are still talking about how good everything was. That alone says a lot. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and right on time. Victoria kept everything moving seamlessly, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the day. We also added an extra late-night hour in the restaurant space, which was such a fun way to extend the celebration with more dancing, drinks, and late-night bites. Overall, we felt it was an incredible value for everything that was included. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and Falkner Winery played a huge role in making it so memorable. We couldn't recommend them more!

Great wines. Wonderful tour guide, Stephen. Beautiful property. So glad that this was included in our wine tour!!!

We had the best time!! We booked the VIP tour and Jim had the best table reserved for us. He was so knowledgeable about the winery, the wines and the wine making process. It was a step above the tastings I've done in the area which was exactly what we were looking for. There was a DJ that was playing the funnest music (not too loud), a beautiful view, and a taco truck if you're hungry. This was our first stop of the day and we were there for 3 hours. We love Jim!! I ended up joining the wine club and can't wait to come back.

Came here on a wine tour over Thanksgiving break. Ambiance is casual and very chill. Some folks had on date-ish attire and others had shorts and tshirts on. Service was great. We had someone in staff give us a tour of the vineyard in addition to our tasting. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, their Sangiovese is SO good!

This is the site for a wedding and had an extraordinary time. The facilities were well stocked, the staff was all very kind and the food and drink for except exceptional. We're over the venue itself was a treasure. What a beautiful way to celebrate a wedding.

Such beautiful views especially because we arrived just before sunset. There's a large deck in the front of the tasting room that overlooks the valley as well as a large grassy area to the side. Plenty of seating on the patio. I had the pleasure of trying their Almante Super Tuscan at a local event and came just to get a glass and enjoy the views. Andy was the wine pourer and he was super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our wine on the grassy area and took pictures by the cute photo spot. Next time I'll have to come and try more of the wines and check out the restaurant on site as well.

We absolutely loved loved loved this winery. It's such a beautiful property. We got there around 1 o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday , they had a guy making fresh tacos on the deck and a DJ that was spinning out some danceable Jams.... " a little bit too loud to be on the outside, you couldn't really hear a person talking to you" We decided to have our tasting on the inside and we could still hear the music. It was so fun. Very dog friendly. Wonderful people pouring the wine . I loved their Chardonnay and their Cabernet we will be back and we are bringing friends!!!

The view from the deck overlooking the vineyards. - String lights are hanging above a vineyard with lush green grapevines, with a mountain in the background and a partly cloudy blue sky. Outdoor tables and chairs are visible in the foreground, indicating an outdoor seating area at a winery or similar venue.

Went for a wine tasting, and left joining their wine club. The service was wonderful, the views were spectacular. I'm looking forward to returning soon.

Jim is an amazing host and recommended the best wines for our pallets. He was so wonderful we even decided to become members. I will definitely recommend this place if you enjoy great views and excellent customer service.

We just had the most amazing wine tasting experience here with Jim! Jim has a slight accent from Denmark that is endearing but he was so attentive, informative and helpful. We've done ALOT of wine tasting but this was a rare experience of having such a knowledgeable person helping us. He knew so much about wines in general but especially Falkner wines and other vineyards in the area. Very impressive! I had no intention of joining their wine club but I did because he was so convincing and we are very glad we did.

Although there was some confusion and my card was used for an unauthorized charge, Holly, the wine club manager took care of everything. She was extremely accommodating and professional. They also were very welcoming to our service dogs that were visiting today.

We had our office Christmas party here and we had a private building. We were greeted warmly and escorted downstairs to have appetizers and cocktails prior to seating for dinner. The appetizers, especially the crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms and shrimp we're all 10/10. It can be difficult to keep appetizers warm when they pass them out by the tray but they were all warm and delicious. Then we headed upstairs and the dinner buffet was also 10/10. The pesto chicken was very moist and tender. It's hard to feed multiple people and keep white chicken breasts moist. All the sides were delicious and the service was phenomenal! Extra shout out to Danielle and Jenna. They were amazing all night and very organized. I highly recommend the food and will be back to try the winery side.

Vineyard view wasn't there...only bare spot...post harvest period. Don't come post harvest season if you are after views

See all

Ask the Community - Falkner Winery

Are kids allowed?

Hi Andrea! YES! Kids are always allowed :)

Is the restaurant dog friendly?

Falkner Winery's tasting room and outdoor grounds are very dog friendly. However, the Pinnacle restaurant does not allow dogs.

Can visitors walk around the vineyard?

I do not believe so. They are overlooked and all dirt. The horse and carriage I took went thru the vineyard but that was on approve of the owners for that special day

Is there indoor dining?

Yes. At The Pinnacle Restaurant.

SHORT VERSION: Wilson Creek Manor is an Avantstay property…read more "Unparalleled service" is supposedly one of their hallmarks but all I got was very poor service. Oh, and by the way, the previous owner MURDERED someone on this property. LONG VERSION: Booked Wilson Creek Manor directly through Avantstay's website but the day before check-in I got an email saying they had to cancel my reservation because of a broken water heater. Why wouldn't you CALL instead of just emailing? My reservation was less than 2 days away, call and leave a voicemail. I called Avantstay immediately after I saw the email and the call gets routed to some overseas call center. The person can't help and says they'll reach out to the dept that handles this and I should hear back within the hour. 1.5 hours later I still haven't received a callback so I call again. Same response, said I should hear back in an hour. 1.5 hours later, still no call, I call again, now they say I should receive a call by 5pm (5.5 hours later). My check-in date is the NEXT DAY! 5pm might be too late because what if they don't call me back and everyone goes home for the day? Then they change their answer to someone will call back in an hour. But I've heard that one before. FINALLY someone who can help calls back and finds me a replacement property. After we hangup I discover a hiccup. One of the families staying with us was planning to bring their dog they noticed that the new property doesn't allow pets. We paid a pet deposit so this is something that Avantstay should've caught and pointed out. That family had to find a last minute accommodation for their dog so that was another added inconvenience. Another hiccup: I was told I'd receive check-in instructions the next morning. On the way to the property my wife asks for the details of how to get inside the property so she could send it to the other families. Realized I didn't receive those details. Had to call Avantstay once again. Another inconvenience. This is all BEFORE we even stepped foot onto the property. While on the property we discovered someone was MURDERED in that house. This spooked everyone and no one was able to sleep well. Here's the evidence: https://patch.com/california/temecula/murder-victim-alleged-scam-artist-accused-of-stealing-before "Unparalleled service", yeah right. Stay away from Avantstay.

Let me start with, I'm horrible at planning anything! My fiancé and I went to view this venue and…read morewhen we tell you we fell in love with how gorgeous it was it's an understatement. The important thing to note here is that they do a lot of weddings! Towards the beginning they were undergoing a lot of changes within staff and it was difficult initially to contact them or get a response which was extremely frustrating. Once it got closer to our wedding day we got a new coordinator named Tessa and she basically saved my sanity because from that moment on I had no issues and felt so prioritized. Be patient with them in the beginning because you're one of many brides they speak to on a daily basis. Once you're wedding day is actually there, it will be worth every single penny. The food was amazing, the DJ is so good and attentive, our day of coordinator Hayley was also really nice and Victoria made sure to ask me if I needed anything she was there to make it happen. I can't stress enough how incredibly beautiful our wedding was and every single guest told us the pictures of the venue we sent did not do it justice. Also, get the horse carriage it's such a beautiful moment I shared with my dad then with my husband. We saw Tessa the next day when I went to pick up some things we left behind and she asked where we were going for our honeymoon and literally within the hour of us leaving she emailed us so many great ideas and recommendations. Lake Oak Meadows is lucky to have someone like her that is so kind, reassuring, goes above and beyond expectations, and genuinely you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you to everyone who helped create our magical day sorry if I was a stressed wreck initially but you guys definitely delivered and made me look good because like I said I can't plan anything accordingly. To see how great it turned out you guys definitely know how to make everything feel perfect. 12.2.21

If you're thinking about proposing at Lake Oak Meadows, it's honestly hard to imagine a more…read morebeautiful setting. It's adjacent to an INCREDIBLE winery. Grab a bottle of their Grand Cuvée Reserve if you want something bubbly or my personal favorite the 17 Dolcetto Reserve (an 88point). MMM baked fruit and toasted oak. The property itself feels peaceful the second you arrive. The lake, the oak trees, the open sky -- it all comes together in a way that feels natural and romantic without trying too hard. There's something about being surrounded by rolling hills and water that just makes the moment feel bigger and more meaningful. One of the BEST parts about Lake Oak Meadows is how many perfect little spots there are. You can walk along the lake at sunset, find a quiet corner under the trees, or use the rustic barn and open fields as your backdrop. The light in the evening is especially stunning -- soft, golden, and perfect for photos you'll look back on forever. It doesn't feel crowded or overly formal. It feels calm. Intimate. Like you can take your time and really be in the moment. That's what makes it such a special place to ask such an important question. If you want a proposal setting that's naturally beautiful and unforgettable without feeling staged, Lake Oak Meadows is truly something special. I would be HONORED to be sneaky and take your proposal photos here! Email: hello@amandacantonphoto.com Instagram: @amandacantonphoto

They have tons of greenery and flowers throughout the property, and a small fountain. The outdoor ceremony area is overlooking the Vineyards, and has a wooden arch that can be decorated with drapes or flowers, Etc. The reception area is also extremely nice. It's big and spacious. They have options to include many things in their package, so you can really get an all-inclusive day. The bridal Suite was extremely pretty and bright. It had a full bathroom, and chairs and mirrors for getting ready. The Grooms Suite was awesome nice, and had a foosball table. After, we stopped and had a glass of wine under pretty patio area. The wine we tried was very good, and The View just added to the experience. We didn't have much time here, so hope to go back to explore more.

I truly had such a good experience with wedding planning with Villa de Amore and Myla and Mandy. If…read moreyou are not much of a planner or want to be more hands off for your big day, this is definitely a venue I would look into thoroughly. They have so many resources and vendors all wrapped into one price and streamlined. Since they do weddings four days a week, the team is well prepared for almost anything and has thought through the entire day from start to finish. As a pride, my advice would be to be as specific and organized as possible when communicating with the team, as they do this often they are well prepared, but it made for a more seamless planning process because I was diligent in prepping information, creative design choices, and confirmed every step of the way. I give the venue 10 out of 10 stars, my pain point was with the DJ vendor. While I think they try to do a good job, they're not hitting the mark. When I mention about following up and confirming, you need to be as specific with them as possible. Outline everything and don't leave anything to chance. In my experience, they were disorganized and had mixed communication- though our dancing and evening wasn't effected the planning process was. All in all, I would recommend VDA has your place to get married and trust to execute your big day. Happy to speak with any bride looking at this venue find me @sincerely_siena on IG

From our perspective and the guests. HUGE KUDOS to David, Mandi, Michelle, Kylie, Amber, and the catering staff. They worked with me so graciously up until the last minute. I changed décor and floral design about a month before the event and they were so kind and made sure everything was exactly what I wanted. The communication was very timely and clear. This venue really works with you to make sure everything aligns with your vision. Mandi and Amber went above and beyond for all of the design and all our guests keep telling us how they felt each event felt like a brand new experience (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing). Michelle was in charge of florals and it was exactly what I pictured in my mind. She matched my colors, vision and vibe directly to what I wanted. Kylie was our coordinator and she was truly amazing. She kept our bridal parties in line (we are a little rowdy) and made sure each event flowed perfectly for the day. Our guests really complimented the catering staff as they were seamless and made sure dinner was a smooth success. The food was great and the steaks were huge! AJ was our DJ and he did an amazing job on making sure the dancefloor was always filled. Reliving the day for this review only makes me smile because it honestly was a perfect day. From my perspective and the guests, it was a day that had no hiccups, no drama, nothing was out of place. I can truly say that Villa De Amore and all of their team members are amazing at what they do and I HIGHLY recommend considering this venue for the wedding day of your dreams!

Visiting wineries is a fun way to spend a Sunday in Temecula, yet the only down side is that the majority of wineries close at 5pm. The Peltzer, however, is open a bit later and usually till 7pm. I have a very nice time here. The two wines I tried here were very good. The service was friendly and welcoming. I happened to love the vibe and decor here a bit more as it was not all restaurant orientated.

They also gave us great recommendations for other wineries to check out during our weekend, which we really appreciated. Peltzer doubles as a venue, and you can tell--there's always something happening. Concerts, weddings, events... it feels like a place that has something for everyone. We can't wait to come back and explore more because it truly feels like a winery you can enjoy in a dozen different ways. The only downside of our evening was that they had to close down early due to a wedding.
