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?

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.

It made the shortlist for stops, and after we left another winery for weird vibes, we ended up coming to Miramonte. We were immediately impressed - the parking was full and we got lucky a little further away, and there was a guy in a golf cart going around giving people rides to/from their cars. He picked us up, let us know cart service ended at 9pm and reassured an incoming car that he had spotted them and that he would come around to give them a ride. Fantastic service there! We had not made a reservation and had to put our names on the waitlist, but were able to get some wines and sit in open seating. The main criticism I have here is that my friend paid for 2 wines and then we swapped - I was offered the opportunity to tip, but my friend was not - and the server added tip on himself! Our bills should have been the same (since we ordered the same thing both times) but my friend's was higher. Other than that - we enjoyed the rest of our visit. We got through 2 rounds of wine before our table was ready and we were seated and had quick service. There was a live band and a lively atmosphere - a lot of people went up to dance in the open area in front of the band. We shared a charcuterie board and a cilantro-poblano Caesar - all delicious. I would say that overall, a solid choice for food and drink, but maybe make sure you can tip for yourself at the wine tasting area.

Last time I was here was probably 12 years ago, and WOW has this place changed. It's basically the Disneyland of wineries now! There's a mimosa station when you arrive, wine tastings in the main building, cabana-style seating on the lawn, and tables and chairs almost everywhere you look. They also have an onsite grille restaurant, wine clubs, tours, and the cutest little shop inside. The property itself is beautiful with tons of photo spots, vineyards you can stroll through, and even a little man-made lake that gives the whole place a whimsical feel. There's also a ballroom with a huge projector where we watched the World Cup game! And random but important... bathrooms everywhere. The dress code is super chill here! It was HOT when we visited, and I even saw guys walking around in flip-flops, so definitely dress comfortably for the weather. They even have a shuttle that picks you up and drops you off at the parking lot! It comes around about every 15 minutes, and tips are welcomed. Our shuttle driver told us Wilson Creek has a contract with Disneyland, where they sell their infamous Almond Champagne, and you can also find some of their champagnes at Ralph's! The staff were all super friendly! For tastings, you purchase a tasting card at the register and then belly up to the wine bar to choose your pours. You can also just grab a glass or bottle of wine, and they even have beers on tap! You can get married here, host an event, grab food, spend the day wine tasting, or just hang out and enjoy the property. It's seriously such a happening place and we can't wait to come back!

He provided the history of the winery and the background of the various wines I sampled. I was not fond of their white wines, but their red wines possessed character, complexity, and depth. The price of the tasting was on the high end, but I enjoyed it all the same. The property is very large, and well-maintained, and also hosts a distillery, somewhat hidden in the form of a speakeasy of sorts. Didn't partake, but intend to return in the future to sample. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will give some thought to joining their membership. Great views atop the hill, and a mellow vibe. Thank you Eric! Great customer service.

I moved my stroller near the gate where the ground was smoother while waiting for my friends to buy buckets for us. One staff member came up to me and immediately told me I couldn't go in without a bucket. I politely explained that I was not entering yet, just waiting because the rocky path was very hard for my stroller, and my friends were buying the buckets for me. Instead of explaining the rules kindly, she spoke to us with attitude and embarrassed us in front of everyone. The whole line was looking at us, and it felt very uncomfortable. She was impatient and rude instead of simply explaining the rules nicely to first-time visitors. We didn't know that each person needed their own bucket, and we also didn't know group picking was not allowed. That could have been explained respectfully. Customer service is not just about enforcing rules -- it's also about treating customers with kindness and patience. What disappointed me the most was how her attitude suddenly changed after I told my friend she was not friendly at all. Then she started smiling and acting nicer to the next guests.

For just $25, you get a bag that you can fill with whatever is in season. During our visit, we picked tangerines, oranges, lemons, and limes, but they have a great variety depending on the time of year. The orchard is huge, and one of my favorite parts was the owner's philosophy: everything you can eat while you're on the property is included. We definitely took advantage of that and enjoyed fresh fruit right off the trees. It doesn't get any fresher than that! The property is beautiful, the parking was easy, and the whole experience was relaxing and family-friendly. We saw plenty of families with strollers, and the walking paths were wide enough to navigate comfortably. Just keep in mind that much of the orchard is on a hillside, so I highly recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes or closed-toe shoes for better footing and to protect your feet. One tip: their hours are limited (I believe they're only open on Saturdays and Sundays), so I'd recommend arriving early, especially on warmer days. You'll beat the heat, have the best selection of fruit, and enjoy the orchard before it gets busy. This is so much more than just buying fruit--it's an experience. We'll absolutely be bringing our friends and family back because it was such a fun way to spend the day. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh citrus, beautiful scenery, and a memorable outing!

I will say that the place is beautiful and the pandemonium wine was pretty good. However, THIS IS NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR LGBTQIA+ populations or minorities!!!!! Just a warning. We went to this winery for the first time tonight for a "comedy" show. Comedy's are supposed to be fun and poke fun at culture, race, class, politics, etc. However, what was displayed tonight was disgusting and disappointing. The main "comedian" was Kvon and he spoke about being part of Charlie Kirk's cult and being kicked off of campuses himself for his own hate speech. He spoke about trans individuals and how he viewed them as disgusting beings, or didn't acknowledge them at all as humans. He spoke from his own binary perspective and it came off as dismissive of peoples' lived realities as well as disrespectful. He spoke about being "half Persian" which in his eyes made it okay, and then dissed minority populations on the premise that it's okay because he's "half Persian". This is internalized racism and colonization at its finest. The epitome of that. The worst part of it all was that the owner "Persian Santa clause" was there laughing the whole time!! It was disgusting. Nothing about it was funny, it was ignorance based on a colonial and binary perspective fueled by hate. This alone will make me NEVER visit this place again!! I also believe that it is my duty to warn others especially those who identify as LGBTQIA and minorities to be careful in a space like this. Wolf in sheep's clothing is the saying? I'm so angry at the hate that was being spilled and at the sight of the owner sitting there laughing at it all. Gross. Please be careful in this space. read more

Fazeli's Winery in Temecula, California is a truly unique wine experience. Not only are their wines crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, but they are also named after famous Persian poets. This added layer of history and culture makes the experience of tasting their wines even more special and memorable. The wines themselves are a delight to drink, with bold flavors and a wonderful balance of acidity and tannins. The reds are especially noteworthy; they have a bold presence on the palate but never overpowering. The whites are similarly delightful, with a nice crispness and minerality that make them perfect for a summer day. The tasting room itself is a warm and inviting space, with just the right atmosphere for enjoying the wines. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Overall, Fazeli's Winery in Temecula is a wonderful place to visit. Their wines are truly special and the atmosphere is inviting. If you're looking for an authentic wine experience, this is the place to go. read more

What a beautiful place! The wine is top notch, the atmosphere is unbeatable and Elbert gave us the best possible service. Even the food is delicious! Probably the BEST view in all of Temecula Wine Country. It's truly stunning! So why only four stars...? Well, I've been there twice now, both times on beautiful sunny days, and both times they had the place sealed up tight with all of these giant black shades that block out the view. I mean, they have the most amazing location with two big open air patios and potentially the best view around and they block it all out with black shades, it seems like such a waste. Both times I asked if the shades could be pulled up and both times I was politely denied. It makes no sense to me. I would love to give this place 5 stars because it really deserves it but they are making a big mistake denying customers the full extent of the potential panoramic view. I'm a member now so I'll definitely be back and I hope very much to edit this review soon and give them the 5 stars that they deserve. read more

After a bad experience at an Italian restaurant in Murrieta recently and going to Fazelli Winery it would seem our luck is running pretty lousy. We are 2 for 2 on horrible outings. Heard mixed reviews regarding Fazelli but, we decided to look into the place for our quarterly sales events. The establishment is impressive in its scope and size. Thats about it. Wines: over priced and nothing outstanding. Food: nondescript and rather odd. Live entertainment: Unoriginal and substandard. Who manages the web page and hires the musicians? How about mentioning who you are having perform on your events calendar? Just having "LIVE music" only tells possible clients that "LIVE music" to you is nothing more than a marketing tool. Have a little more respect for the artists you hire and stop treating them like second class citizens. read more

I came all the way from Irvine to try this place out based on a recommendation from my room mate, and honestly... I couldn't be happier. Aside from being without a doubt the most beautiful winery Temecula has to offer, both the food and wine menus were superb. The menu has a lot of Persian influence to it which I thought was very unique, and they did a great job pulling it off. Their wine was fantastic, service was fantastic, and all in all I had such a great time. The family that owned the place treated me like I was one of their own, It truly was an awesome experience, thanks for going out of your way to make sure my night was special!

Wow! Fazeli Cellars is the real deal! The views are fantastic -between the vineyard, all the arches and bougainvillea it was like being on a fancy vacay. The wines are first class - we especially loved the Ruckus and the Turmoil (very clever to have a line of Chaos wines during this time). Shout out to the kitchen for their yummy BBQ Chicken Flatbread and the ciabatta (tho, wish there had been fries...). But what we were most impressed with was the staff - they were rockin' it on a busy weekend (pic of our server Rhiannonn balancing wines with a smile). They were super friendly and we had fun watching the servers interact with the clients and each other. Can't wait to come back! read more

What a wonderful winery! We met the most wonderful "wine tasting" expert, Barb, who not only told us about the wines but shared how they were named and the history behind the Persian poets, philosophers, and great historical people they were named after. The whites were awesome and the reds sublime! We had told ourselves we were not going to join another wine club, but this one was a must. The winery is new and the grounds are exquisite! There is a private tasting area for the wine club member and we can't wait to go back and have the delicious looking food from Baba Joon's. This is truly a place that needs to be on your list of wine tasting places in Temecula!! ***** read more

It's interesting that you don't have anything to correct about my experience but criticize me leaving one. You don't even know what the term "just asking" means, cause if you did you'd have a more professional response. I had positive and negative comments in my review and you are focusing on the 1 star, which you're not even trying to correct. I wish your business and winery all the best and sincerely hope that you would take customers feedback as constructive criticism and see what you can do to make improvements to your winery. There's always room for improvement no matter what business you are in. Wishing you, your staff, and winery all the best. read more

Fazeli Cellars is like stepping into a magical nook where time slows down, and every sip of wine takes you to this warm, cozy place where good things unfold. My girlfriends and I gather here for our semi-annual wine meetings, and it never disappoints. The food is divine, with a delightful Persian touch, and the wines are simply fabulous, especially the premium selection. The patio overlooks rolling hills of vineyards, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a wine sampler and just soak in the atmosphere. The music is pleasant and the place is clean, inviting, vineyard-y and peaceful. It's truly a nostalgic, misty, and magical experience! read more

Fazeli Winery was a great experience! I recently attended a comedy show there and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff truly made the evening special. Bartender Dana was absolutely incredible super attentive and friendly, she really added to the experience. I was a big fan of the white wine crisp and delicious! The reds weren't quite my favorite, but that's just personal preference. The food was fantastic every bite was flavorful and well-prepared. Overall, Fazeli Winery provided a wonderful night of laughs, great wine, and delicious food. I'll definitely be back for another visit! read more

We had the absolute pleasure at Fazeli. We were blessed to have Lisa during our wine tasting, and she made the entire experience unforgettable. Lisa was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wines but also passionate in the way she shared her expertise. She tailored her recommendations perfectly to our preferences and explained the nuances of each wine with such clarity and enthusiasm that it enhanced our appreciation tenfold. We can't recommend Lisa enough--her combination of expertise, charm, and attentiveness is a rare find. Thank you, Lisa, for making our visit so memorable! We can't wait to return! read more

We had a fantastic experience at Fazeli Cellars in Temecula! The views are stunning, the atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, and the wine selection is top-notch--but what truly made our visit exceptional was Lisa. She was our bartender and absolutely amazing!

My girlfriends & I had so much fun at Fazeli Cellars Winery! The vineyard was absolutely stunning - gorgeous rolling hills & greenery. The scenery was breathtaking.

So glad we came here for wine tasting. I gave this place a 5 star because Jose made it that much better for us. He was attentive, knowledgeable, funny, and a conversationalist (we did not think it was overbearing at all). I definitely recommend him if you want to talk about wine and random things. We tried some of their white wines with a cheese plate and were very happy with the service and care. Grabbed a bottle to go! Highly recommend! Great ambience, beautiful views, and delicious treats. read more

Off the main road, and well worth the trip. We originally came out to visit another winery we joined, only to find they are never open, that's a review for their page. So we made our way to Fazeli. One word... AMAZING. Every single wine we sampled was delicious. I am not a chard fan, but theirs was so good. We loved every single tasting. Jose, you were also a pleasure to talk to and you nailed it with your recommendations. Loved it so much we joined and we will be back. read more

I just discovered Fazeli Cellars on a recent trip to Temecula. I very much liked their wine so I signed up for their wine club. Their winery and tasting room is beautiful and they offer some unique gifts that you can purchase. The view is incredible and their custom bar is just gorgeous, made from burnt trees from a wildfire in the Julien area. Our tasting room host was very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm anxious to taste more of their wines as time goes on! read more

Love Fazeli Winery The owners BJ and Wendy Fazeli truly thought of everything when designing this beautiful winery. If you are looking for an amazing afternoon you need not look any further. There food is so good it will keep you coming back for more. The Persian influence is very unique. The wines are the best in the Valley. Take a trip out to DePortola Road in Temecula California and enjoy. You will be glad you did. read more

Magnificent winery in the Temecula and across the board some of the best wines in the valley. Very knowledgeable staff makes the tasting experience enjoyable. Beautiful outdoor patios to enjoy the wines and views of the winery.

No help arranging table and chairs. Meanwhile they never offered to seat us in the air conditioned space when they could have easily accommodated our group. We then discovered that there are no food servers-you have to order food at the bar and then someone eventually delivers it in phases. Plastic hardware, condiment packages. There are MUCH better places to enjoy in Temecula.

We came to this place on the Saturday after my official birthday which was good because my palette was fresh and ready to try new wine. They have been open since 2010 and they The property itself is gorgeous, but the coolest part is definitely the main tasting room. They have this massive glass floor where you can look straight down into the barrel cellar. It's such a unique vibe and makes for amazing photos. And on this day you can even see the set up for a wedding they were having later on that day. We did the premier tasting flight out on the patio by the water and the wine was fantastic. We also ordered some food from the bistro-the strawberry salad with chicken and Parmesan truffle fries-which had great portions we really didn't even need the fries. The salad with the goat cheese went perfectly with the wine we were drinking. A huge shoutout to Matt, the Operations Manager, who took such great care of us. The entire staff was super welcoming and really made my birthday feel extra special. Highly recommend stopping by whether you're doing a couples trip or a girls' weekend! I can't wait to come back!

I can't say whether this applies to every Friday night performance, but it absolutely applied to this particular show. If you want anything close to a decent view of the stage, it is imperative that you purchase assigned table seating! For this concert, reserved table seating was only $10 more per person than General Admission (GA) seating, and in hindsight, it would have been well worth the extra cost. The General Admission section was positioned so far off to the left side and elevated that the stage view was extremely limited. Depending on where you were seated, portions of the artist and band could be obstructed entirely. The audio quality in the GA area was also disappointing, with vocals often difficult to hear clearly. We understand these events are designed to encourage dancing and a lively atmosphere, but there was a large amount of unused dance-floor space where additional premium seating could have been placed to provide better sight lines and improved sound quality. Another major issue was the seating layout in the GA section. The spacing between rows was tighter than airline coach seating. In our row, some guests literally had to stand up and fully exit the row just to allow others to enter or leave their seats. To make matters worse, the chairs were zip-tied together, leaving virtually no personal space. Thankfully, we were seated next to friends, because if we had been next to strangers, it would have been uncomfortable for everyone involved. In my opinion, the GA seating experience simply was not worth the ticket price given the poor visibility, cramped seating, and weak sound quality in that area. The bright spot of the evening was the performance itself. L Young and the Trouble Man band were outstanding and absolutely delivered a fantastic show! I would gladly see them perform again. However, unless I could secure reserved table seating, I personally would not return to this venue for another concert from the GA section. What stood out most was that this wasn't just our opinion -- many guests seated around us also voiced the exact same frustrations throughout the evening.

From the moment we walked into Julie's Dream over a year ago, we knew that this vineyard was special. We were referred here from more than one winery multiple times, and we finally decided to go. We were warmly greated and shown to a spot at their beautiful counter. Time was taken to find out each of our wine preferences. My mom loves her whites, while I love my reds and whites both. The staff worked with us to find the wines that best fit each of our pallets. My mom loved their Chardonnay and Reisling, while I loved their Reisling, Chardonnay and Cab Franc, plus many others. We walked away wine members in September of 2025. Angie was absolutely amazing!!! She heads the wine club, and was incredibly understanding when it came to the fact that we live in a "hot state" and shipping is difficult during the bulk of the year. My mom and I make trips twice a year to Temecula and try and pick up all of membership shipments during those trips. Angie has been more than accommodating about this. They recently rolled out their new red and white sangria, which took up a lot of their storage floor space. But Angie made surr to keep or wines stored for us. I have had other wineries push for shipping despite being less than optimal temperature and weather. But Angle will not compromise on the quality of their wines. Every week a news letter gets published showing what food and entertainment will be happening. And, if anything changes, you can could on Angie and her crew keeping you posted. When we walk in to Julie's Dream, we feel like we are home and part of the family. If you haven't been to this amazing Vineyard, give it a shot. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
