We were here around 3pm. We have made reservations and had no issue being seated right away. The hostesses were very welcoming and our server was attentive. However, it took an hour to get our food and due to this reason, we did receive a complementary cheese boards. This was a nice touch. We did appreciate this as we were starving. I have got award winning persian tacos. There wasn't much award winning about this taco. They looked like they were vegetarian tacos when it came out.. I wish the chicken was spiced more, little bland but pickled onions helped a little. My friends got flatbread, kabob, and gyro wrap and there were much better than my tacos. They also have a wide selection of wine and have tastings. They don't have the greatest view, however, a lot of seating and they do have this garden where it looks like you get do parties or weddings. read more

My mother and I visited this beautiful place and were so amazed! It was so beautiful, we met Lisa who served us our tastings and was just so kind and informative. She made our experience very welcoming and fun. She told us about their wines and about the events they host. We are definitely going back! 10/10!! read more

5 star for the lunch meals. 3-4 star wines in our opinion but the covered patios are lovely with live music on weekend so rounded up to 5 stars total. All the wine labels are gorgeous! 2019 Boland Rooz 100% Sauvignon Blanc was our favorite $24 for the bottle. Buy the bottle to share otherwise it's $14-16 a glass. Delicious cheeseburger sliders $20. The steak & blue flatbread is enormous $22. The Caesar salad had a few reddened old pieces of lettuce but the added chicken was tasty in flavor. read more

The kind manager at Fazeli's read my review and refunded me for the bottle issue. Thank you so much! Clearly a misunderstanding and I've updated my review to 5 stars. Everyone please try Fazeli's Cellars Winery! You'll love it. read more

Steak was a bit too over done but cute setting for a Persian style eatery in Temecula

Do not come here if you like quality wine. The location and buildings are beautiful but....the wines are pretty bad. It tastes worse than "barefoot" brands. We tried doing the wine tasting and only 1 wine out of the 6 was "drinkable". Also, the server was pretty rude after I asked politely for a new glass. I didn't catch her name since she didn't tell us but she was white with red/blonde hair. It was strange after I asked for a new glass, she gave the whole party attitude and even asked the other server to finish taking care of us (without telling us herself! And she continued to help the party next to us). Overall, it was not a great experience and we won't be back. We were thinking of a membership since it is close to Leoness where we have a membership but not after this experience. 2 stars for the gorgeous of the architecture. read more

Best customer service ever. Ryan and Christian are so amazing, they both help in everything they could to make you feel comfortable. Honestly if it wasn't for them two we wouldn't be members.

We did the tour and tasting with Gina and she was fantastic ! Highly recommend! Beautiful winery and delicious wines

Food is good, taste, portion and presentation good. Our waitress is great, very attentive. The BIG BUT, is the BAR TENDER- SO RUDE. I was waiting at the counter to have a taste of the other wine before making my decision which bottle of wine to buy. He knows I was waiting, not making any eye contact, not saying anything to let me know that he'll be with me soon or something. So totally RUDE and UNINTERESTED. My waitress finally went ahead n gave me a taste of the other wine and made my purchase after standing there at the bar in front of that RUDE bar tender for a long long time. read more

Fazeli is absolutely TOP notch from start to finish!! The service and crew there were impeccable, the food was outstanding, and the place looked absolutely beautiful. We were lucky enough to have a very small and in-depth tour of the winery which was just perfect. Cannot recommend this place strongly enough!! read more

Amazing views with bad service is what I call this place. It's nice to visit for wine tasting but not for dining here. The food takes forever to come out. What was supposed to be a quick lunch before heading out to LA took us 3 hours. The food is good, Mediterranean flavors and dishes. The wines are on a sweeter side so if you like sweet wine this is the place for you. My favorite from the flight was the white wine. read more

We have been coming here for years and after trying so many different wineries in the area this one is still our favorite. The quality of the wine is very good. They are not your typical wine, they have a lot more character and depth to them so I really enjoy them. I like how they have good food, live music, souvenirs, events and many other things. Their website is user friendly and you can find up to date info on their music and events. read more

Good food and service. Had the steak and eggs which will not disappoint . We went for brunch so no live music at that time

Wine was good but the waitress wasn't timely and i felt uncomfortable because she seemed scared to talk to me and interact when i asked about the menu. They have three menus; only one will be given if you don't ask for the food or full wine menu. Waitress later came back to confront me about leaving this review. I did not expect to cone here and be physically confronted about how i felt about the bad service from the individual providing the uncomfortable experience.. The place is probably family owned since she knew seconds after I posted this review that i was unsatisfied . In hindsight waitress isn't scary; just awkward and confrontational. I let her know i wasn't interested in conflict and i only wanted to give others a honest review. Update :Clearly from the response below the business cant take feedback. Im not even sure why the ID is mentioned; i dont care who ask for me ID. Reading is fundamental; the waitress made me feel uncomfortable, wasnt timely, and was later confrontational. Take the feedback objectively and as stated. read more

Our incredible server Lisa mentioned she "pours from the heart" and I had a fabulous Fazeli experience because of this warm and knowledgeable approach. She helped me choose the premium wines as my tasting and they were fabulous, especially the 2019 Syrah and their Cab Franc that they call Ferdowsi. Also, their Mediterranean style food is excellent;chicken schwarma was delish and vegan friends can get tasty hummus and roasted veggies. read more

Met some out of town family visiting the area.. we were very impressed with the attentive and knowledgeable staff pouring for us..A very large party came in, and the owner came to assist her.. he was very friendly .all the wines we tasted were excellent and we did purchase a few bottles!

We had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Fazeli Winery. We're not from the SoCal area, actually closer to true Napa wine county. Having been to wineries of various styles and landscapes, walking up to Fazeli, it held that awe effect. Very grand in size. I didn't drink much, as the designated driver. However I did sample some of my husband's wine. Not bad. My review is more about how they managed a wedding. The ceremony was held outside, with a beautiful view of the hillside. The staff supplied us with an iced water station. Great for the middle of summer. Bathrooms were a bit of a challenge to get to, the wedding party was taking photos in the area that led to the bathrooms, so I had to walk to the front and up the stairs. I don't see this happening for every wedding. Cocktail hour was another hit. We hung out outside near the barn doors. They had tables and chairs set up, food and someone playing music. Once the main room was ready, we were allowed entry. Reception room is so pretty! A grand room. They had a stage set up, food near the bar, buffet style, dessert table in the reception room. Bathrooms inside. To sum up, I think that they made our friends special day one of the best. Willing to accommodate their vision and make it a memory. read more

Did a tour and tasting at Fazeli's and had a great time. We toured with Rachel, who was awesome. The tour wasn't that long, but the company was great. She showed us around and gave us great information. She even entertained my non-wine related questions and comments and made me feel like I was just walking with a friend and having some drinks. The vineyard is beautiful. The views are amazing. Being here in May, the vineyard is green with very young grapes. But I think I'll come back in September during the harvest season. I prefer white wine and was able to sample some really good whites. The tour comes with a small cheese plate. Nothing fancy but good cheeses. read more

Our first time here and we chose to come on a Friday evening to see a comedy show by Eric Schwartz. Parking wasn't bad and were sat immediately. Our server was very sweet and made sure she checked in regularly. It was a little strange they sat multiple groups down at one table but it worked out ok. They had a pre-set menu so we had to stick to that which was a bummer. But what was even more of a disappointment was not only the tiny extremely overpriced cocktails, but they also made last call for food right as the show starts. I get wineries typically close early but if you are going to have an event from 8-10pm, you would think they would serve food for at least the first half. It wasn't a bad experience but now we know what to expect I guess. read more

Amazing winery with fun events! We have been members for over 6 months now and have a great time every time we go. Lisa is the best, she is very knowledgeable and great to talk with and have a good laugh. Honestly, if she left we would likely cancel our membership. We have had Karin as well who is very sweet as well. We have attended the dueling pianos event which was a ton of fun! Only critique is needing more bartenders. We love this place! read more

First off, we were running late due to traffic. Called the winery and was told since it was beyond 15 mins they can not guarantee our table of 4. We came there and it was almost completely empty, that ordeal was off putting. The wine is okay, I'm quite a wine snob. 3 stars are mainly for the charcuterie board and flat bread. read more

My obsession with the Persian culture is never ending. So when I heard about a winery that was owned by a Persian entrepreneur, I had to go check it out. Now I say entrepreneur in the most impressive way. Originally from Iran . He's responsible for bringing the thigh master to the US. Invented the infomercial in the 1970s. He coined the phrase "but wait, there's more" He also has a car waxing brand that is sold in Walmart .Then he retired But still decided to go to UC Davis to learn some more ! Has been in retirement since 2003 making wine and Temecula California. i'm completely impressed ! The place is breathtaking. Perfect place to have a food & Wine tasting. Enjoy the Stunning architecture along with the lovely voice of Gaby Aparicio singing so many beautiful, melodic melodies ! Plenty of places for your Instagram moments ! The staff was so amazing ! Timothy was so helpful give me all the cool insider info ! Somebody give this guy a raise. He told me not only is the wine excellent but is it the best place to work ! All the employees are like a real family. I love the idea of supporting a business that is good to their employees. I can't wait to go back and hopefully one day, meet Romy Fazeli Alahmari in person.

Stopped into Fazeli when passing through Temecula and had a great experience! They weren't super crowded on this weekend at afternoon, and I enjoyed a beautiful view of their vineyard from their upstairs patio while I dined. I chose Fazeli because I was intrigued by the departure from more 'typical' winery cuisine and was not disappointed. Their Mediterranean and Persian influenced menu had so many delicious options it was hard to choose! Most of the menu would be well-suited for sharing, and I could see spending an afternoon with a big group of friends enjoying shared plates and wine here. I ended up getting the Fazeli salad and the steak and blue flatbread. The salad was fresh and tasty. The flatbread was out of this world! It's definitely on the richer side, and would be a nice plate to share with a group. The wine was also very good, although I have to say I was more focused on the food and the view. I would definitely recommend and hope to come back in the future! read more

We came for a late lunch on Saturday around 1:30 and were seated quickly. We got a view over the winery and had Denise come take our order quickly. I enjoyed a glass of wine with my gyro wrap.

We enjoyed our visit to Fazeli Cellars. We made a reservation for brunch and I'm glad we did. The restaurant o-ens at 10am and by 10:30am the -lace was packed. We had an inexperienced server, but he muddled through and the food was excellent. Some tables took the Bigger Than Life Champagne option. This comes with a bottle of champagne and all the different flavorings to make mimosas of many colors. That did look fun for a larger group. I had the C H I C K E N S H A W A R M A W R A P which was very tasty. read more

We've been members here 2-3x now, it's hard to visit and take advantage of all wine club benefits because we live an hour away. Wines are good and I love the live music on weekend afternoons. But customer service (wait staff) needs much improvement. They're not at all attentive, they seem to favor certain tables (?). Turquoise wine club membership comes with 2 wine bottles bimonthly, complimentary 8 glasses or wine flights or wine tastings per month, etc. read more

Well, I saw the response to my review from the business manager. The saying "The fish stinks from the head" is so true in this case. His rudeness is definitely an example for his staff to do the same, and it shows. I never threatened with lawsuits or, much less, recording the conversation... WOW He has been down this road before and dealt with other unhappy customers. He is mistaking me for someone else. Your employee in the picture, Tyler, was there to take pictures. No one informed me they were going to go check on the car. To my surprise, when I came back to keep an eye on my car, I found them there and jokingly told them, "So you are here to take pictures to cover yourselves." He smiled and said yes. I have to admit, of all people I talked to, Tyler was the most polite but obviously no authority. The 2 managers were absolutely rude. The Business Manager serves as a good role model for this rudeness, based on all his responses to those that leave a 1 rating and show dissatisfaction with their services. You need to learn to own it and take constructive feedback. Your customers are telling you your managers are being rude, and instead of saying, "Thank you, we will look into it," you get defensive! When I told the employees how rude the Manager Stacy was, he responded, "I'm sorry. She is under a lot of stress right now. She is expecting a large group." BTW, your employees NEVER told me that was not your property, hmmmmm? Who placed the "Additional Parking" sign there... the City of Temecula? Doubt it! read more
