    Fazeli is a beautiful winery, on a hilltop, with a view of the valley. They have a restaurant baba joon, that serves Mediterranean Persian food, we recommend the gyro wrap. They have a large outdoor seating area for Al fresco dining. We loved their white wine 2022 norooz, which we enjoyed with dinner.

    Fazeli Cellars Winery was our third stop of the tour. I was recommended the Grapeline Wine Tour. I really enjoyed the tour! The individuals that were on the tour with me made it even more fun. Our tour guide and driver, Tony, was very knowledgable about the area, its history, and wine making. This winery is large. The structure and outdoor area is very nice. Service is very courteous, attentive, and knowledgable. We were given 6 wines to taste. I really enjoyed the wine. I thought it was unique because their wine contains interesting ingredients, especially the sweet wines. A friend I met on the tour ordered a flat bread, and we shared it. The flat bread was delicious and paired well with the wine. Will definitely be back to explore more of their menu and wines!

    The grounds are gorgeous. The food was good. Service was friendly. They aren't super dog friendly (dogs can't go into any of the buildings and there are multiple). You do have to stay on the inner patio with a dog. We went on a Monday, so it was quiet. $10 glasses of select wine too, which was nice. We really enjoyed the wine here. The food was good -- I like that it's different than the rest of the area. Persian food. We ate some kebabs. The beef was SO overcooked we could barely cut it, which was a shame because it had good flavor. The chicken though was great, as was the rice, cucumber yogurt, and salad.

    The outdoor area and our group on the tour.

    This was the first stop on our wine tour and they were very under prepared. Nothing was set up, the wine was sitting in boxes out in the sun, and no one seemed to know we were coming there. We were directed to the tasting room while they set up the outdoor area but the lady inside promptly told us she wasn't ready and started complaining saying she needed 10-15 before she was able to serve us. Once she was ready she continued to complain that she was alone and the other person called out sick. Overall, it was a bad experience.

    I had the membership here when I was living in the area. It was my favorite spot for a solo date during the week and brunch spot to bring family and friends when they were visiting! Their food portions and options were my favorite across the board compared to the other wineries in the area, which ultimately got me to get their membership. Their sweet reds and sangria mixes were my main go-to for drinks as well! I had my two favorite workers that I always sought out on my wine bottle pick up days because their service and conversation always made my time there. Their names are completely escaping my mind right now, but it was one red headed female on the VIP side and one tall male on the general side. Don't know if that helps, but I hope they get the recognition they deserve by others as well! If living nearby again, I will definitely restart my membership.

    I was "wowed" by this two-story winery. It was on a hilltop with great views of the vineyard and surrounding area. This was a great discovery with my girlfriend, @Te-see B. We enjoyed a wine tasting flight and brunch (available on weekends). The food service on-site is available by Baba Joon Kitchen. MENU HIGHLIGHTS: -Wine Flights in a towering holder. -Charcuterie Board of assorted meats, cheeses, olives and fruits. $42 -Chicken Shawarma Sando. $26 -Chicken Pesto Sando. $22 It was a fabulous feast for four adults. I highly recommend any casual wine drinker or serious wine lover to bookmark and try this wonderful place. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary and Te-see sent ya!!

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich $22

    Our second winery stop! WOW!!!! GORGEOUS estate/winery with a spectacular view. A very Mediterranean design & vibe here:) Not surprising since the owner, Bizhan Fazeli, is Persian, M.E. like moi:) As soon as we climbed up the stone staircase to the wine tasting room, I had to stop and take in the view. I felt like I was in Italy or some exotic Mediterranean location. The food served here is Middle Eastern/Mediterranean with plenty of vegetarian selections. We ordered: The Artisan Board ($42) 5/5 which was huge The Chicken Shawarma Platter ($26) 5/5 The Chicken Pesto Sandwich ($22) 5/5 Everything was DELICIOUS! *The Red wines were bold with lots of flavor. Since 2006, Fazeli Cellars has more than 20 varietals of boutique wines from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sauvignon Blanc, Petite Sirah to Mourvedre, and Viognier to Chardonnay. All have earned numerous prestigious festival competition awards along the loyalty of enthusiasts across the region. Fazeli Cellars' commitment to excellence has transformed his winery into home for high quality wines that pay homage to the rich cultural heritage of Ancient Persia with roots firmly planted in present day Southern California. *Open Monday - Sunday 10 am - 5 pm *Traditional wine tasting is offered daily - $25 per person (6 - 1oz pours); walk in basis only. *90 Minute Tour and Tasting Experience - Saturdays & Sundays at 11am & 1:00pm *Baba Joon's Kitchen 11am - 5pm Daily (walk-in basis only - last order 4:45pm *Brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm

    We enjoyed the tour and tasting however our friends asked to purchase the sparkling wine, Wycliff brut. It was $32/ bottle. Its actually made by Gallo and sells only at wine shops for under $7. I expect to payback little more at the winery but thats outrageous.

    Came here for easter brunch. They had a great selection of breakfast food. I had the gyro bowl and the potatoes were so crispy and served with a perfectly cooked egg. The espresso martini was so delicious, probably the best one i've ever had. The alcohol selection was great, the large champagne glass was such a cool experience. Overall great time and great food.

    Beautiful property and great customer service but was disappointed in the wines, especially their chardonnay. Tried two different types of flights, the reds and the whites. Was bummed out because the wines were not great and the property is real nice. I got cat fished. Five stars for sure on the customer service.

    Sauvignon Blanc
    Bernardo B.

    Very nice location , beautiful property either way great service . We shared a bottle of their Sauvignon blanc which is fruity fresh and nice green apple taste . Fun place and relaxed . Very recomendable

    The very cool entertainers, George and Gracie posed with us.

    We ended up at this winery by mistake (we turned too soon) and were hungry, but the upstairs people told us they were closing soon (it was 4:40) and sent us downstairs. Then the downstairs people said they weren't open until 5:00. We were a little lost, confused, and frustrated until the chef took pity on us and gave us a little tour, told us his favorites from the menu, and told us we were welcome to sit down while the musical act was setting up and wait until the bar staff was ready to take our food order. The musicians ended up playing to a crowd of two (us!) and they were amazing! George and Gracie were their names and they gave us a private concert with all the songs we requested and then all songs from Minnesota complete with stories because we were all chatting this whole time and they knew we were from Minnesota. Our food came and it was ok, nothing to write home about (except for the caesar dressing which the chef said he made himself and it was amazing!) But hey, stop in for free live music so these entertainers have someone to play for!

    Beautiful property to visit in Temecula Wine Country. We came for brunch on a Saturday. It was not crowded on the beautiful sunny day, which was surprising. They have a downstairs tasting area and restaurant. Upstairs is an expansive patio, another restaurant, and a members only lounge. Service was friendly and slow to start. We opted for the brussels appetizer - a huge portion of sprouts with a poached egg; the shakshuka - a tomato and olive sauce, feta, arugula and 3 poached eggs with 2 pitas; the log French toast - a huge cube topped with bacon-mascarpone, blueberry compote, and maple syrup. Portions are large and made for sharing. I asked for the bacon mascarpone to be on the side, which they forgot. Took time getting the cocktails too. Food was tasty and plentiful. Lovely spot to enjoy the view and relax.

    Do I need reservations for wine tasting?

    How many in the party? If more than 4 please call and make appointment, otherwise please just walk in

    Is there a doggie meal offered?

    I know dogs are allowed, but I've not seen anything about a doggie meal offered.

    Do you serve dinner?

    Sorry not at this point.

    Hello. What is the cost for wine tasting?

    Im not sure now that they are back up 100% Ive always just ordered wine by the glass and don't miss out on the food.. Its really good. The place is very much in line with the cost of the other wineries around. The wine is great.

    Do you have wine tasting at this time?

    Very limited, Friday’s, Saturday’s and Sundays from 11 am.

    Are dogs allowed?

    On the main patio only if the dog is friendly

    I'd like to bring my kids (teens) for lunchtime Anniversary Celebration on a Friday. Are children under 21 allowed at the winery for dining? I have seen some wineries stating that Saturday and Sunday are 21+ only, but weekdays, under 21 are allowed.

    Outside in the patio I have seen little kids.

    Do you serve beer or mixed drinks also? My brother is coming for a visit and doesn't drink wine. We love your beautiful winery and wine. Would love for him to experience it.

    Yes to the beer no to the mixed drink if you mean cocktails.

    Are we allowed to bring our own snacks and food while we wine taste?

    Yep. They also have bread 🥖 crackers on the counter

    Can we bring our toddler here? is the place somewhat stroller friendly?

    Yes you may, please drive to the upper parking lot and make your way to the tasting room

    Do you have designated areas for special romantic situations? Better yet do you have a deal that would include all the bell and whistles for a romantic time? Dinner, wine and flowers?

    Please call the office and ask for the events department tomorrow after 9 am

    What's the cost of Saturday tasting per person?

    Groupon has a deal for weekend for two people for $29. It's for six tastings.

    I would like to visit Fazeli for wine tasting on a Saturday with my husband and a dog. Would it be possible?

    We look forward to seeing you, please note your pet should stay on the main patio accompanied by someone in your party at all time and behave in a manner not to discomfort others.

Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona.

Eggplant Musakka ($23): This Eggplant dish was prepared in a Tomato sauce with fall off the bone Lamb shank and some garlic sauce. Accompanied with rice, it was also excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The only setback was that the food took almost 30 minutes to be served but the restaurant was fully packed. Service was also top notch. I would definitely be going back there again.

Someone mentioned it smelling horrible in there. Based off of my one visit (so far), I'd guess that person has never travelled to a foreign country. It did not smell bad at all. It smelled like a bunch of different spices. Come to realize that the little store that is within the restaurant sells... guess what!! Spices. Quite a selection, in fact! Anyway, I grabbed a few items from the market side while they prepared the food and heading home. Three out of three people that ate from Mr. Kabob's want to eat there again. Portion size was good and the food was quite tasty.

    Soo fresh and delicious!…read more I've been eating so much junk food lately so just had a need to eat something healthy, hoping it would be delicious too, ohhh my gosh, it was. I binged on a YouTube channel where this guy made Arabic food. He had a video of him making hummus. Well, of course, I started craving hummus and pita after that. I ordered a gyro plate and salad. It also came with some hummus that wasn't listed on their menu so it was a happy surprise. I also ordered hummus and it was as creamy as the one on YouTube looked. All so yummy, well spiced and totally delicious. Because I ordered it delivered I didn't see what the place looked like inside. I plan to go there though so will update then. .

    We were looking for a Mediterranean place, and I'm so glad we chose Al-Reef!…read more We ordered: -Greek salad with chicken kebab -Greek salad with beef kebab -Gyro sandwich (comes with crinkle cut fries!) -2 orders of hummus Everything was DELICIOUS! Portions were generous, and prices are extremely reasonable! The gyro was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed the tzatziki on it. All sandwiches come with fries, and they were not only crinkle cut but also fried perfectly. They were still crispy even as a take out order! The flavor of the Greek salad was savory, tangy, and refreshing. The hummus was also *chef's kiss*. We were more than satisfied with our order! We phoned in our order, and it was ready in 15 minutes. The owner was so sweet and attentive! He noticed we were missing our hummus and pita and made sure we got it before finishing up packing our order. Please do you and your tastebuds a favor and try Al-Reef. I just wish we lived closer!
