Wine was mediocre. Food was terrible. We got the cheese plate and the cheese from Albertsons was better. The chicken kabab was flavorless and dry. The frazeli salad was terrible. The hummus was great! Beautiful scenery! Wouldn't come back, though. read more

What can I say, Lisa thank you for an amazing time. Stopped in with my daughter mother and family friends for my daughter's 25th birthday and Lisa was there to assist us with our tasting! Amazing info on each wine and great job pairing wines with our palettes. Thank you Lisa for a great time and memory! read more

This review is solely based on dining (we did not try the wine at this winery). We were told that the food was really good here. Sadly it did not live up to the hype. We ordered the Persian Tacos, kabob plate and half order of Cesar salad total was over $50 before tip. Food was cold and simply lacked flavor. Not a restaurant that I will want to try again. read more

This winery is absolutely breath taking! From the view to the whole building. It is pretty secluded which I personally love! Could simply relax and drink some wine while admiring such stunning view! Really nice to get away for a little and to try different wines. Ended up getting a bottle called the May hem which was really good! Bitter but good which is my personal favorite when it comes to wine. They also had food options in case you get hungry or decide to eat there. Was really beautiful. read more

We stopped in at Fazeli Winery on a tour of the wineries to the East of Temecula. This is a really beautiful winery, with a stunning view of the valley from the Baba Joon restaurant. Just walking up the flight of stairs to get to the restaurant and tasting room is breathtaking. Ther'es plenty of parking - and valet on the weekend. The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxing, as there was a guitarist playing soft music on the patio. read more

It's a Mediterranean place and really bad kebabs. It had a weird smell. Not a hood view as shown in pictures read more

Came here today. The place were pretty packed. I ordered the Kabobs which was mentioned on the menu not a Mediterranean style so we're disappointed. The chicken kabob was good but the beef was super hard. I felt like the kabob was missing the grilled tomatoes, the flat bread which garlic sauce so I wasn't really happy with the food and so as my husband. I also didn't like the fact that they use paper plates and plastics forks and spoons. I also ordered the flight which comes with 3 different sweet wines for $25. The wines were good at least . The service was ok. Parking was hard. I would comeback here again but only for wines but definitely not for food. Felt like the food was lack of seasonings. read more

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend in Temecula and had lunch with some wine pairings at Fazeli Cellars. The service was great and the grounds were beautiful, but as someone that eats a lot of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, I have to unfortunately note that the food was mediocre. Pretty place, just the quality of food needs to be reevaluated for improvements! read more

Fazeli Cellars is a delightful experience. Interesting architecture and very beautiful scenery. Authentic wine making and not completely commercialized. The wines are very good and the food too. The cheese plate was especially nice. The entire team was so accommodating and so The staff is wonderful and extremely nice. Plan on coming back. Thank you Fazeli staff for the wonderful time! read more

We had an amazing time today for my friend's birthday. There were 6 of us today and we had an amazing experience with Lisa as our sommelier who really spent a lot of time to ensure we would have tastings that fit our palette and ensured our experience was the best. Thank you Lisa for this great experience! read more

The pink pineapple special was spectacular! So good especially with the mint and berries! My favorite wine was the Chardonnay and the Boland rooz. Affordable wine tasting and very nice staff! Indoor seating was comfortable and accommodating! read more

My girlfriends and I discovered Fazeli Cellars due to a wine tasting Groupon but it was the food that really set this winery apart for me. After finishing our first round of drinks at another winery, we decided it would be a good decision to eat before starting round two or we might get a little too tipsy. We placed our order indoors and then chose a table on the shaded patio outside. The view of the vineyards from the second story was incredible and reminded me of photos that I've seen of Tuscany. I haven't been in real life but it's what I imagine an Italian winery to look like. It was a warm day in Temecula, well into the 90s, and the patio was warm but not unbearable thanks to a breeze. I ordered the Prime Rib sandwich and it may have been the best version of French dip that I've ever had. The horseradish aioli had the perfect bite to it and the meat wasn't fatty at all, which is often an issue I encounter with these types of sandwiches. The au jus dip was thick and flavorful and I was obsessed! Although the sandwich comes with cole slaw, they swapped it for a side caesar salad that had delicious croutons. All in all, it was an amazing meal! As for the wines, I loved the sweet Ruby Rose, Riesling and Norooz equally. Despite the recommendation of many of my friends, I was not a fan of the overly sweet Shirin dessert red. I took one sip and it was more than enough. Thankfully, they offered to pour me a different glass of wine. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for future visits to Temecula wine country! read more

Truly beautiful winery with fantastic wines and delicious food. The view is stunning and the service is superb! We will be back!

We went to celebrate my birthday and we ended up celebrating everyone's birthday! Food was great, we did the sweet wine tasting and ended up drinking 7 bottles of the Shirin wine. Our server was also having a birthday and she was the sweetest and gave us great recommendations. I saw families with members of all ages enjoying their visit and the view in pretty great as well. We enjoyed our time there and we will definitely be back again! read more

This is in relation to having a wedding at Fazeli Cellars. My husband and I saw this winery and felt it was the perfect place to have our wedding in May of 2019. We signed the "contract" in early 2018 and the wedding coordinator at that time had promised us many things. She would be the Day of coordinator, access to all the grounds, private room for the bride and groom, drapery for the ceiling, a stand for a sign I wanted...etc. I should have known better because the contract was only 1 page and only stated the food, the bar, coffee, and some decor. Time went on, the wedding venue coordinator would change. Each one promising less and less than the one before. The next one would tell me the packages would change and the contract that stated my package is no longer available and didn't translate into the new packages so we would have to upgrade the bar if we wanted what was promised. Again, the contract would just state "x" package without many details. 2 weeks prior to the wedding, I'm told there are no ceiling drapes, the groom had nowhere to get ready and needed to be ready by the time he got to the venue, no stand for a custom mirror I had for the ceremony, and she was not a "day of" coordinator. You can only imagine how much stress that added (finding vendors and paying an unexpected charge on top of everything). Now we see it's about to rain on our day and I asked about a location change, the venue coordinator states we can move everything inside the bar area. Cool, one less thing to worry about. Day before the wedding, my new Day of Coordinator and I ask the venue coordinator how the seating will be arraigned inside the bar area and she states she doesn't actually think it will work! they've never tried it but it definitely can't hold 150 ppl. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F!?!? We couldn't even find a place to rent a tent because other brides in the area have rented them all out...a literal tent outage. So, I'm had to come to terms that it was going to just rain on all my guests. Wedding day, bridal team get to the room to get ready and it stinks...bad. We can't pin the smell but we had to light candles. We had to beg one of the workers to bring the champagne promised to us. Then throughout the process of getting ready and taking pictures, the venue coordinator opens the room and starts showing RANDOM STRANGERS the room! I asked what was going on and she states "We're still a running business so we are going to be running tours through here until noon". 4 tours went through there, that day. All of them commented on the smell and 1 of them was so stunned to find me getting ready for my wedding she actually apologized and tried to hurry out of there...only for the coordinator to tell her "oh, don't worry, she knows" just...wow. Throughout the day, random people would stop by the ceremony grounds, try to get a picture of me, with me, drink with our guests....yeah, they don't close the place so anyone can just join your wedding! You can even see in one of the reviews one guest actually admitting to wanting to crash a wedding. The food was good but they forgot to bring out the coffee which sucks because in our culture, the coffee and desserts are the best part of the food. Never saw a refund on that... Finally, the day after I go to pick up the stuff left in the bridal room. The owner helps me open the door and he immediately comments on the smell. He goes to the bathroom and flushes the toilet. He tells me the sewer tank and that it dries out and the oder comes up if you don't flush the toilet often enough.... So yeah, what we were smelling all day was sewage. It's a beautiful location, the food is good but honestly, I don't think they have the wedding thing down yet. If I could do it over again, I'd probably get married at Wilson Creek Winery. ***update: I had previously given this a 2 star rating but now I see another bride had stated they had offered her the draping for free! I am in disbelief of how rude, unprofessional and adamant they were when they told me drapes never have been offered by Fazeli and tried to talk to me as if I was the crazy one! Just stay away from this place. It's not worth the headache and misery. read more

Food is always good same for the ambiance, as well as the service. This was the things my husband and I remember about this place. We were members for 7 years took a break because of covid and the uncertainty . We decided yo return and rejoin this last weekend as we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary it was one of our favorite places to visit However we were very disappointed from our service as we did rejoin only to to be redirected from members lounge to tasting room to have to someone assistant us to rejoining. We were exited to rejoin the person that help us seem very confused of what she was doing, was more concerned of getting our payment info then helping us. We sat outside with the beautiful music. We were hungry so my husband went order us food . The service was not what it was from before. We decided to return the next day in hope that it was just different. We went on Sunday to have lunch and drinks we love the members lounge , how again the gale from the members lounge redirected us to the tasting room to ordered our drinks and food . We did Meet one great employee name Ryan great customer service. However over all was Not what remember,not only did are person that signed us up not remind us of the perks of being a member we from food to buying extra wine or even from gift shop . The gal in the members lounge seem more annoyed with us when I asked questions about merchandise again redirected me to the tasting room . We left ended up going to south coast winerys had a great time where we spent our money and anniversary. Re thinking our membership Fazeli . So dad read more

We came down to Temecula for a wedding and wanted to pickup some wine to take back as a gift. Almost everyone we asked mentioned Fazeli ... and we can see why! This winery has a beautiful, open atmosphere with ample parking. Every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly and were incredibly attentive. We were lucky enough to have Lisa working the day we went. She went above and beyond in helping us find the perfect wine. As it was our first time at Fazeli, we were at a loss when selecting a wine. Lisa was very knowledgeable in all the wines and was able to answer any questions we had. We walked away with a selection we felt comfortable with and more importantly, we walked away knowing we'd be stopping here any time we are in Temecula. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on Valentine's Day to do a little wine tasting. We had such a great time, and the lady pouring our wine, Sharon, was so lovely. We did arrive at the Winery around 5pm, hungry and expecting to have dinner there. But we come to find out that the kitchen closed at 5, so we were a little disappointed. However, other than that we had an amazing time for it being our first time wine tasting Also had a beautiful view, especially when the sun was setting! Would definitely recommend going! read more

This was my 40th birthday and Tam made it super special. The view, the food, the wine, the service was beyond expectations. There was only one thing I wasn't happy about, the beef kabob was over cooked and when we told they took it off our bill in a heart bit. I highly recommend this winery. A hidden gem! read more

Visiting Temecula and so many wineries. We came with a group and opted to purchase a bottle of yummy wine. Didn't do the tastings but will next time. We split a Mediterranean flatbread pizza which was spot on. Will definitely visit again. Beautiful winery read more

Gorgeous view. But really, coming here feels like we were mainly paying for the atmosphere. They had wine flights option but note that its all pre-selected. Norooz appears to be their popular wine choice. I wasn't really impressed with it, but maybe I am not a white wine sort of person. As for the food, it was ... mediocre, to put it nicely. There was so much more to be desired. I got the kabob plate and they ran out of chicken so it came with 2 beef skewers instead. The beef was not tender nor juicy. It was hard. My friend who was with me also tried a bite and agreed the meat was tough. I am looking at it and it does seem like it was cooked right. So were they using old or poor quality meat? I had no energy to raise the dissatisfaction, they were so slow with service that I was famished by the time the food came by. I get that service might be slow because they may be short-staffed due to covid-19, but quality should not have been sacrificed as well. The food that finally arrived did not meet expectations or leave me with any feelings of "this was worth the wait". My friend got the tacos which I saw a few customers getting it too. It looked good and delicious, but she was not satisfied with her meal either. A beautiful view so it might be worth a visit if you want to try their wine flights and enjoy the scenery. read more

This is a very nice and large winery. The wines are delicious and incredible views. Also, it's located next door to Robert Renzoni Vineyards and the newest Altisima Winery (which is amazing). It's located off the De Portola road on the Sputhern side of Wine Country here, but these newer wineries are very nice and definitely worth the less than 5 minute drive. read more

Fazeli Cellars Winery - View (amazing) with a Red Wine - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

Came here for a glass of wine but this was my 2nd visit as I have done a taste when they first opened. I found the Red wine flavors to be interesting...but interesting in a good way. For my glass of wine I had the Ferdowsi which on the intial taste wasn't overwhelmed by. By the time I was done with the glass I was liking it and wanted another glass. The grounds of this place are spectacular. Definitely considering joining the wine club here as I have struggled to find something good in Temecula wines. This is one of the best for reds that I have come across. I definitely will be returning and look forward to coming back. I would definitely recommend stopping by. read more

The environment is really cool. We sat and ate at the resultant which had great views of the Temecula wine country. The service was good. Our server was very kind. At the restaurant you can get three different flights. The flight we got was a Chardonnay and two reds. The wines were not my favorite, and it was $25 for three small tastings. It took sometime for our food to come out and it wasn't busy at all, we were sat right away. We ordered the gyro flatbread and it was so good! We added feta and it was delicious. We also ordered the award winning Persian tacos, which were delicious as well. The inside of the taco came in a square shape which was kind of awkward to eat, but otherwise the flavor was definitely there! read more

Loved this winery. The outdoor seating was fantastic with a view to die for. The wine was very, very good. They have a small kitchen with interesting items. Flat bread and salads but more, much more. We went here with friends and we all enjoyed 'lunch'. The wine was good enough that we are thinking of returning soon or becoming members. I would recommend a visit when you can just sit and relax. We spent almost three hours just enjoying the wine, food and the view. read more

Pretty views, great food, GARBAGE wine. We ordered three different flights (white, red, and sweet, three different wines per flight), and each flight had 1 "ok", 1 bad, and 1 undrinkable wine. We had to leave the drinks on the table. It didn't help that they cost far too much for the amount of tastings, even if it tasted good. When we sat down, they told us we had to leave in 90 minutes (general rule), even though the place was empty. Conclusion: order the Reuben sandwich and get out. read more

We visited Fazeli recently. We loved the ambience. Nice view and very peaceful. It was a week day. The wine is very good. The food from the deli was good. It was a bit "sweet" for me. You order the food at the deli and they bring it to your table. Service was good but upstairs isn't a full service restaurant. read more

The wine is beautiful with awesome views of the Temecula area. The wines are still young but good tasting. It is worth tasting at the winery. The reason for the lower score is due to the food experience at Baba Joons Mediterranean restaurant. My wife is Persian and we eat the cuisine often hence our review is as follows; The beef is full of gristle and not good quality and the chicken kabob was made of thigh meat and not quality either. The rice was also not worthy of a positive comment. I will say the hummus was very good and the pita bread good as well. We will not be returning and remember this one unhappy customer tells 10 people and those 10 tell 10 more and so on. I will say the staff were all pleasant as far as the winery operation goes. read more
