    2024 Vermentino
    Priti P.

    Sitting at the start of Temecula wineries next to Calloway, Halter Ranch Temecula is an extension of the main Paso Robles location. Loved the 2024 Vermentino and Rose. Lots of inside and outside sitting areas with beautiful views to enjoy to sit and slowly do your wine. Knowledgeable staff makes the experience even better.

    Another fantastic experience at Halter Ranch Winery! The service was truly exceptional, the team is incredibly attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It's no wonder my friend is a member! This winery consistently delivers some of the most delicious red wines in the valley. The staff took the time to walk us through each wine, share the story behind the winery, and ensure we were comfortable and having a great time. I really appreciated the perfect pacing of our tasting, which included six deliciously crafted reds. Among the standouts were the Silver Label selections: - 2022 Cazas Vineyard Zinfandel - 2022 Volcanic Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - 2021 Ancestor The Ancestor is bold and smooth, with blackberry, blueberry, and chocolate. A must-try, I mean buy! I purchased a bottle to enjoy. The wines were excellent, the views stunning, and the overall vibe was relaxed but elevated. They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor space is stylish and cozy with very comfortable seating. They also sell assorted snacks and charcuterie, perfect for pairing. And a bonus, they're dog-friendly, and have three adorable cats that live on the property! Can't wait to go back!

    Organic wines!

    The wines are excellent! We immediately joined the Wine Club. Our server, Gabe, was outstanding! The property is very scenic and peaceful. Definitely worth checking out the next time you're in Temecula.

    "So we gave up. I'd finally had enough of chasing after a ghost who did not want to be discovered. We'd failed, maybe, but some mysteries aren't meant to be solved." -- Miles Halter, "Looking for Alaska". I'd been chasing a ghost known as a Temecula winery with good wine and comparable pricing. Halter Ranch of course started out in Paso and took over Hart Winery. We visited based on other yelpers raves like Dan H. Did we find the ghost? Partly I guess...wine was solid but pricing still bonkers based on the quality. These are $20-$30 quaffers, not wines with quality at $50 - $120 levels. Temecula pricing is still laughable. But the views are lovely, the service was friendly and quick, the lobster Mac and cheese from the food truck was excellent. We'd go back to taste outside on a lovely day but will never be a retail customer. Recommended for tasting

    We love Halter Ranch wine & are happy they are in Temecula so we don't have to drive all the way to Paso. 5 stars for true certified organic wine. We had great friendly service from Brandon. Attentive to provide the tastings out on the patio in a timely manner but you can linger as long as you want. We also ordered a couple glasses of wine. No restaurant at this one but they do have a mobile made to order gourmet pizza company there during lunch hour & that was fantastic. Our friends are wine club members & we really enjoy their monthly free tastings.

    Cute and quaint, small and intimate. Much appreciated over the larger more commercial wineries in this area. Several seating areas, the only draw back is air conditioned seating is limited. Inside the barn is cool and shaded, so if it's a 90 degree day or less you'll be comfortable. Large selections of wines, noticed many are sourced from the Paso Robles area (which we also enjoy). The staff is very friendly and accommodating. A food truck was also on site this particular Saturday (though we didn't try anything). Great views of the valley all around as their location sits elevated above the vineyards.

    Fantastic wines at an intimate setting, the Viognier is was my favorite. It was crisp and bright, perfect on a warm summer day. The service is so friendly and knowledgeable. We stopped here as our last stop leaving wine country, and I'm sure glad we did. This will be a regular go-to when in town.

    Love Halter Ranch. We frequented the Paso location when living up there and were so happy about the Temecula location. This location has amazing views, and can get busy but still feels quant and relaxing. Every time we go wine tasting, we find ourselves back here (not just because we're wine club members!) Heber is the best. He always makes our experience better than the last and always puts a big smile on our toddlers face. So far, no other winery in the area compares.

    One of my all time favorite wineries in both Paso and Temecula!! I have loved their wine since I did their Defendor Tour up in Paso several years back. My favorite wine they have is their Tannat. I just wish it was available by the glass, but alas. On a hot day their off-dry Viognier is perfect to sip on and enjoy the views of the vineyards! It's also my favorite spot to relax with a good book! Staff was warm and welcoming as always! My go to whenever I'm in Temecula! Highly recommend!

    View of Temecula "French Valley" wine country! Cheers!

    We've been members of the Paso Robles location for years. This Temecula location is just as fun. All the best Paso Robles releases are available, and there are some yummy Temecula blends that we now love too. Brandon did our tasting pours, he was such a great host!

    Super cute winery! I love their open seating and the view. We absolutely love the fact that it is kid and dog friendly!

    Previously Hart Winery, now owned by the Paso Robles Halter Ranch Winery. There hasn't been much change to the property, not yet anyway. Right now, it's a very small tasting counter inside their barrel room, and some picnic tables and seating around the perimeter. Nice views, rustic and simple. They have moved all bottling equipment to their Paso Robles location, which will free up space for changes to be made. Changes include expanding the tasting room. They are pouring both Hart and Halter Ranch wines, which offers a good range of some very good reds. Club membership includes your monthly glasses of wine that can be used at their wineries in Paso (2) and the one that will open at the end of 2023 in Fredericksburg, Texas. Currently they have a vendor who keeps a pizza oven on site, the only food offering on the weekends. They are dog friendly. But keep in mind there are three very lovable winery cats on the property (one had a very close call with a coyote the other day!). It's still a transition from old owners to new owners. The servers seem to be handling things, though I think maybe communication with Paso may sometimes gets mixed up. The phone number is an 805 area code for the Paso location. I couldn't get through to the Temecula location when trying to reach them. They really should change that. We are giving them a try and signed up as wine club members. I can't wait to see what they do with the winery!

The way the veranda is framed with greenery looking out at the hills is stunning. Miramonte is still one of my favorite places in Temecula Wine Country!

    Not sure how to feel about this winery, but after the second winery we visited after Miramonte, I…read moreprobably would not visit Miramonte again. I decided to do a wine tasting for my birthday with 2 other guests and drove from LA to Temecula on a Sunday. Arriving to the estate was easy, there's plenty of free parking spots surrounding the winery. It's quite an uphill stroll and some stairs are involved, but you definitely get a workout in. They have a covered patio area of tables that are either reserved or you put your name down to get a table on the left side of the winery, the middle/terrace area is usually used for private parties/events such as a bridal shower or birthday party, where there are 2 outside bars and sometimes they offer live music, the back area of the estate has a grassy area with small vendors selling jewelry and such with picnic style tables (no shade or cover), a gazebo of seating facing in my opinion, the best part of the view, and a separate location for wine club members. The inside is where you do the actual wine tasting experience, and has high bar stool tables and chairs for seating as well. Stepping up to the hostess desk, a man who worked there greeted us and very quickly told us what they offer and then walked away (had nothing to do with the check in desk area, so it was a little confusing). The hostesses had the same spiel to give, and I had mentioned it was our first time and we had absolutely no idea how to even begin a wine tasting experience. The explanations were rushed and basically told us to figure it out. We walked away towards the inside/outside terrace of the winery and were stuck walking around for 5 minutes not knowing where to go. We stopped by one of the outside bars and asked for help, the bartender told us we could start our wine tasting experience inside. Now was that so hard to help us navigate where we're supposed to go and what we're supposed to do? Not everything should be explained on a script, most of the time hospitality and customer service goes a longer distance than formalities. We finally get inside and the women working the front for the tastings were really impersonal and standoffish. We finally start getting a tasting experience going, asked for recommendations and none were received or explained so we just picked random options and had them pour. Throughout the 6 tastings we had, each pour was a different amount, if the bottle they were using was running low, they would pour the last bits of it (barely 2 sips), and hand it over, vs a bottle that was more than full, would get a nice even tasting pour. We eventually wanted to order food, and before we even started the tasting, we asked for a table and the hostess told us it would be over an hour wait. We put our names down, they called us in the middle of our 2/6 tasting, which was less than 20 min. So we went to our table and kept having to go back inside one by one to taste our different wines, as we were at a table now and not just doing the tasting experience inside. Food was great, service at the table was also great. Afterwards we left our table and walked towards the gazebo area and sat down by the view. The most enjoyable part of our day just taking in the atmosphere. On our way out, we wanted to experience a different viewpoint which was the bar area with the stools next to the tables of the "reserved/name down" area. I very nicely asked the hostess if we could sit in the empty seats for just a second to finish our last tasting and take in the view, she told us no those are reserved areas and not just open for anyone to sit at as they please. "Sorryyyy those are reserved spaces" with a smile that was clearly not genuine. We understood, dropped our wine glasses off at the bar, and proceeded to our next destination. All in all, the service here was not great. The entire experience felt absolutely rushed, it was not focused on the wine tasting experience at all, they are more focused on selling tables and getting you to order food. There was no explanations on a quick backstory of the wines we were interested in trying, it was just like "which one do you want" "*point*" poured it, and just told us to enjoy. I didn't enjoy my time here at all, and I won't be back to visit, as there are many many other lowkey wineries that are not as highly reviewed or popular as this one, and they are a much better experience.
