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!!! read more

Love the views from this winery. We ate at Faulkner Winery Pinnacle Restaurant. I love that they have a separate vegan menu. The service was great. read more

I came here with my girlfriend and a couple of our friends and it was amazing! Bella was our hostess and she was super friendly and welcoming, one of the best hosts I've ever had. We were very impressed by the service, and the food was incredible. A few of our friends got the santa barbara salad and loved it, and I enjoyed the pinnacle burger. The environment and feeling of the place was really nice too. 10/10 one of the best experiences we've had at a restaurant. read more

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. read more

Falkner Winery - The view from the deck overlooking the vineyards. - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

Great ambience, great food, was waited by Krystal , friendly and very professional, highly recommended.

Went here for a wine tasting, had so much fun! As someone who doesn't like wine, they had great options. Staff was super friendly!

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. read more

Our first time here was amazing thanks to Krystal S. She was so welcoming, kind, and made us feel right at home. Her wine and food recommendations were perfect, and the service was outstanding. We'll definitely be back! read more

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. read more

What they only have going is the view. But come after harvest,view disappears...just bare and not too appealing. Experience is only with the restaurant. Brought visitors from out of state,only to be presented with an old facility,restrooms are comparable to fastfood places. Pretty disappointing. To be fair,food was great and staff were nice but experiences was pretty disappointing. No scenic views,all grape plants in front of the restaurant view was gone. One and done for us. read more

Went on mothers day and the service was top notch. The staff (especially Bella) was awesome and made sure everyone was comfortable. the food came out very fast and was delicious. One of my favorite wineries in the area for a reason. read more

My husband and I, and family members thought we would give this winery a try for the first time. It is in a beautiful location with the most amazing views. Tastings are $35 which I think is typical for Temecula. We were enjoying the beautiful weather and thought we would go to the outdoor tasting area, and that is the reason I am giving this winery my three stars. The music was so loud that you could not hear yourself speak and had to ask a few times to hear what wine selection we were being poured. My watch even gave me a loud noise warning as the music was being played over 90 decibels! I love music and I don't even mind louder music, but when it is being played so loud you can't even hold a conversation without having to yell to the person next to you that makes it uncomfortable. I am not going to review the wine as we all have different pallets, but I did like one or two. Some sediment in the bottom of the glass with one of the reds, not sure about that, as the wineries I am a member of don't have that. Can not review the food as we did not eat there. We finished our tasting and left for somewhere less loud! read more

Stopped in for lunch, nice view from the main restaurant overlooking rolling hills. Ordered the crab cake burger. It was fine, lots of breading and a bit mushy for my preference. Service was also fine nothing to write about. Bill was a bit high for the service and quality imo. read more

Worth visiting for the modern vibes! This place has a great view from their patio, and while tastings are inside, you can bring them out to enjoy the view! Would just have to go back in every time you were ready for your next glass. Very open seating and when you keep walking you'll see a large grass area for kids and dogs to run around in! Lots of trees to shade you from the sun as well. On Saturday they had a live dj which made it feel more lively for the younger crowd. They're website mentioned that they had food here, but that is only being served at the Pinnacle side, we even tried to see if we can get a charcuterie board (which they have available on the wine tasting side) but was told that they were sold out. read more

I went on a wine tour to Falkner for the first time. My wife and I fell in love right away, so much so that we became members. We've had a couple pick-ups so far and truly appreciate what they have to offer. All of their wines are different and I highly recommend doing a tasting to learn which one fits your pallet.Additionally, they have a restaurant in the premises called "Pinnacle." The cuisine is delicious. The staff members are generous and highly knowledgeable about their wines. You may enjoy your wines in plenty of space with beautiful views. read more

Falkner Winery is one of our favorite wineries in town. We are wine club members, and regularly stop by on weekends to enjoy a glass of wine. The view from the patio is fantastic and enjoying a lovely glass of wine there is one of our favorite things to do on a nice day. They regularly have entertainment, sometimes it is a DJ, other times it is live music. They also have tacos some days. There are often wedding events here, and it is a popular stop for winery tours so it can get pretty busy some weekends, but we have never had an issue getting a table. Service is always excellent! Jim in the tasting room is the best! Knowledgeable, attentive and personable. In the wine club room, Holly is awesome! My husband and I have been to several of the wineries in Temecula, and this is the one we enjoy visiting the most. Our favorite wines are the Meritage and Super Tuscan ! read more

So we joined the wine club 3-4 months ago. 4 out of the last 5 times we went there a special event closed the tasting room. When we got there last week of Father's Day the music was awful. We had one glass of wine and left. Step up your game Falkner. You're better than this. read more

Falkner Winery is our favorite winery in Temecula. It is in the heart of Temecula and is very large. There is also an eatery on the property. The entire space is just so beautiful. It does not matter if you don't drink wine, it is a site to see, and you can get a bottle for a friend. The service is so kind and sweet. You can go into the winery and try some wines or you can take a tour. You can have lunch at the Pinnacle restaurant located on the property of just have snacks. There are places to sit in the shade and the whole experience is quite relaxing. Falkner Winery is one of the premier wineries in Temecula. The hill-top vistas are stunning and what a view you will have. Falkner Winery's flagship wine is the award-winning Amante Super Tuscan blend. It is amazing. They also have Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The Syrah is great. Now, it can get crowded during tourist season, but the place is big so you will be fine. What I really love is the knowledge of the staff. They know everything about their wine and the entire region. They give great advice. You will love this place. read more

I've been wanting to visit this winery for sometime. My BFF came into visit so we decided to go to Falkner Winery for brunch. The service was good and the seating was great. We were seated by the window and were able to get a nice view of the wineries. I ordered the crab cake burger and my BFF ordered the burger. We both had this amazing blueberry drink made with Vodka. I can't remember the name but boy o boy, it was delicious. My BFF said her burger was really but the fries seemed to be old. My crab cake burger was really and so were the homemade chips that came with it. The menu is a bit limited with things that I would order however I would definitely come back as I would like to bring my husband. read more

We originally reached out to Falkner Winery to inquire about wedding packages and prices. Prices were within our budget so we decided to do a tour. During the tour, our tour guide was very brief with everything. She showed us around the ceremony site which had rose bushes that were just trimmed. I asked if the roses are normally bloomed for the time of the year that we were planning. She was then confused and didn't know what time of year we were even talking about. Why did I submit an inquire then? For all other tours I've done elsewhere, they normally go through our inquiry prior to our arrival and know everything but that just showed unpreparedness and it was kinda unprofessional. After our tour, she took us to her office and gave us a pricing pamphlet and asked us if we had any questions. That was really it. She didn't go over much on the pamphlet just kinda handed it to us and sent us on our way. Such a red flag and also so disappointing for us considering the customer service wasn't there. If you're thinking of booking Falkner Winery for your wedding, I recommend doing a deep dive into all the reviews before proceeding. A few days after our initial tour, we submitted some questions and even that took a few days for a response. Although the venue is beautiful, the customer service isn't and will probably compromise your experience. read more

Falkner is one of the older wineries in the Temecula area. Their selection are diverse and tends to run with Cabs, Rosés and sweet white, but no Sangiovese or Italians. Their wine tastings run $30 for six. Ambiance of the Wine Tasting (photo) area is nice and upscale. We tried three reds and three whites. The most expensive wines were the Reds, which run around $79, with the less expensive sweet wines at $19-ish (photo). We ended up buying a bottle of their 2021 Rosato, which we really enjoyed. Also, we found you could avoid the crowds by coming here midweek, around one-thirty. read more

The ambiance was great for a wedding painting with a beautiful view of vineyard, ample parking, nice indoor restaurant and outdoor seating. I oil painted a couple in the lovely grounds with a fountain background. During the night the couple and the guests came over to watch me painting. The couple was thrilled with the wedding at the winery and with my painting. Jess Perna Fine Art read more

We truly enjoyed our experience at Falkner Winery. The wines are wonderful. Loved their Chardonnay. The view was beautiful. We received VIP treatment and it was our first time there.

Thank you read more

We've been a member on and off here for years! Prior fire and after renovation it's still a beautiful spot to enjoy the views of the Valley and the pinnacle Restaurant next-door has really nice food options with views and if you're a member you get nice discounts off bottles and glasses of wine While dining! Ask for Holly for more details on membership she is amazing and so accommodating! Love her! They're the only ones that I know of in Wine country that offer a point system, and if you take advantage of it, you can end up with a free case of wine at the end of the year! read more

My boyfriend and I were exploring the local wineries while visiting his parents and had initially wanted to go across the street to Peltzer, but the parking was a nightmare. On a whim, we went up the hill to get our wine on and were pleasantly surprised with Falkner! First of all, the views are gorgeous. The hilltop patio was the perfect place to relax and sip some wine. Plus, they're dog friendly! Other wineries had turned us away because we had our gentle old pup in tow, but Falkner welcomes our furry friends openly. The owners were pouring tastings and they were so friendly and knowledgeable of the wines. Each wine was tasty--I'm big on reds and the Lucious Lips was my standout favorite. They were setting up for a wedding so unfortunately our time here was cut short, but we'll definitely be back! I fully intend on grabbing a Crush Club pack next time :) read more

I loved my experience. We had our annual Christmas party here and it was incredible from the moment we met with the owner/coordinator of our event. I knew it was going to be great.
