    A do not want to miss winery in Temecula. IMO they are pouring some of the best wine in the valley. Granted, some of the juice comes from Paso Robles. Some weekends they have a food truck as well as live music. It's a small winery and the first one you come to when entering the valley, so keep an eye out.

    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!

    Enjoying a glass of wine with all our kids.

    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!

    New to Temecula (old Hart Winery) the Paso Robles based Winery is here! Fun place with new and old wines. Great reds here to enjoy. They've improved the patio area with more nice tables and the Southside with some tables. Looking forward to the growth and the enlarged tasting room area. We joined the wine club and committed to a year. Cheers!

    See all

    GENERALLY OPEN LATER - MUST GO ON A SUNDAY EVENING!…read more I do not frequent Temecula very often. I've only been here a few times. Visiting wineries is a fun way to spend a Sunday in Temecula, yet the only down side is that the majority of wineries close at 5pm. The Peltzer, however, is open a bit later and usually till 7pm. I have a very nice time here. The two wines I tried here were very good. The service was friendly and welcoming. I happened to love the vibe and decor here a bit more as it was not all restaurant orientated. It felt more like a family friendly brewery where you can bring a board game and sip some wine and enjoy your time with friends. I would definitely come back to the Peltzer!

    Peltzer is such a fun and welcoming spot in Temecula. There's a short walk up to the winery, but…read morethe property is so lovely that it feels like part of the experience. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating, charming décor, and even pigs and small activities such as "gem mining"--which adds to the relaxed, family‑friendly vibe. Inside, the tasting room is large, lively, and inviting. The staff was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share their wines with us. They also gave us great recommendations for other wineries to check out during our weekend, which we really appreciated. Peltzer doubles as a venue, and you can tell--there's always something happening. Concerts, weddings, events... it feels like a place that has something for everyone. We can't wait to come back and explore more because it truly feels like a winery you can enjoy in a dozen different ways. The only downside of our evening was that they had to close down early due to a wedding.
