    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    One of two winery cats ‍ very friendly

    Walked in for some wine tasting and had a great experience at Halter Ranch. The service was awesome. All of the staff were very friendly. The wines were delicious. The Malbec was my favorite. Also a bottle of 2009 Syrah, not on the tasting menu, was opened and I got to try it. It was fabulous. I left with two bottles each. Pizza is made on the weekends. If I had been hungry I would've tried it too; next time I guess. I will definitely visit again!

    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!

    First and foremost, I will NEVER be visiting this winery EVER again. To anyone that reads this…read morereview, YOU ARE WARNED you will be subjected to the worst experience and customer service that you will probably have to ever endure. My Wife and I are appalled over what happened. To the Business Owner, Cane V., you need to train your employees, the faces of YOUR everyday business, to be more EMOTIONALLY INTUITIVE and PROFESSIONAL and have GENERAL MATURITY. Where do I start? If you are looking for a winery that has an unprofessional, rowdy brewery atmosphere that attracts Entitled Stank Faced Boomer Temecula Wine Moms and their Snobby Little Cliques LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Our Experience: my Wife and I came over to sample some wines from this winery that was recommended from a friend. On the Winery Website, you can do 2 different types of wine tastings: Classic Tastings of 6 wines of your choice or a Private Wine Tasting of 8 different ones for a higher price. This is what initially attracted my Wife and I to this winery in the first place (big mistake on our end). Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that wine tasting is no longer being offered at all. The incompetent red haired bartender at the front entrance provided us with no other alternative other than "Yea we don't offer that anymore, you can do by the glass or by the bottle." Her tone changed completely when I asked her about the Club they advertise everywhere. She then tells us that they are booked for the day, however the BAR and LAWN area are open seating, after 8PM everything is open seating. It was 6:30/7PM so we decided by that point, we'll wait for a spot to open up and enjoy some wine then in the meantime. We figured, it's just the 2 of us so we should have luck finding a spot. At the bar area, I noticed that 3 seats were left unattended. The people there got up and left, no drinks were left behind or any "Reservation" placards were placed to notify people. I walk over, sit down and wave to my Wife to come and sit at the bar area. We sat down, sipped some of our wine for 10-15 minutes. Bar had 2 people working, a gentleman and heavier set Blonde lady. Both of them never said anything and nothing was ever exchanged between us and the heavier set Blond lady. I was even thinking about buying a beer or cocktail and thankfully I didn't. Shortly after this time, an EXTREMELY RUDE, ENTITLED, and VISIBLY DRUNK lady and her husband RUDLY went in between my Wife and I and COMMANDED we leave her spots. My Wife and I laughed at her and were genuinely confused because the BAR IS OPEN SEATING, THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS FOR OPEN SEATING. She then gets even more angry and DEMANDS we leave or else, says to my Wife and I "YOU're GOING TO LEAVE NOW," I tell the lady to kick rocks, it's open seating then she enters the bar area to talk to the heavier set Blond bar tender that we wont move. The Blond bar tender THEN has the AUDACITY to tell us "They have been sitting here all night, YOU TWO need to leave immediately." My Wife and I look at each other and absolutely laugh it off at the sheer absurdity of everyone's tone towards us. Who do you think you are to blatantly kick us out ON OPEN SEATING? Either you are severely undertrained from the Owner or you as a staff member play favorites with other entitled customers. Both of which are absolutely absurd. Upon this interaction, my Wife and I leave and go right down the street to Europa Winery and sampled several wines and had a $250 dinner at Bolero. Here, the experience was a complete 180° and we should've never wasted our time at Miramonte Winery being subjected to the nastiness from the Temecula Trash. If you are a large party, or wanting to host private events, I STRONGLY recommend ANYWHERE else besides Miramonte Winery. The Staff here is atrocious, rude, immature and ugly. I pride myself in never leaving nasty reviews but this experience changed everything moving forward.

You can also order a bottle or glass by itself if you don't want the full tasting. As a gal who doesn't dabble in the fine art of tasting wine or drinking alcohol, they also had a couple delicious sparkling fruit drink options for me and a couple of other gals in my party, which was sweet, and delicious. The gals said they absolutely loved the Riesling white wine and it was perfectly sweet. I was able to book the whole experience and the table seating online on their website, and the whole process was easy. They email you a confirmation right away and all we did was show up. Upon checking in, we just informed one of the team members we have arrived and they let us pick our table outside. The reservation did note there would be a tour of some sort first, but that wasn't offered upon our arrival but that's okay! It is a bit hard to get ahold of someone on the phone, but I had a great experience speaking to their AI on the telephone and didn't notice until a minute into the phone call that they are AI. Talk about technology over here, woo! The AI was able to answer all my questions around where to park, are there signs directing us to the winery, if our party can have both wine-drinkers and non-drinkers, they answered it all and was spot on. Their winery also offers a fun shopping experience inside and put out these cottage-core long dresses and lacey tops you can try on and purchase. It looked like it was personally curated and it definitely had my gals and I hooked from the start. The only thing is that there is only 1 changing room, that is also the bathroom, so the line was always long and you would feel bad for taking too much time in there if you want to try things on. The team here made sure we were comfortable and even helped us take photos, and treated us very well for our first visit. All of us had a great time and left with a bottles of wine to take home!

There were Adirondack chairs outside, cornhole, etc. It was such a welcoming place. There were food trucks from which to purchase Mexican food etc. out in the parking lot. After Covid, they expanded which is great. The comfy Adirondack chairs turned into metal tables and chairs. The space feels much more crammed. It does not feel so relaxed anymore. And as for the employees, snarky comments should never be tolerated. My daughter-in-law had her mother's retirement party at this establishment. Initially, the woman she talked to on the phone was not very helpful or welcoming. Some other gentleman was VERY helpful and gave the impression that this party was welcome here. On the night of the event, 15 people actually showed up. We had three tables inside. There was one party of 4 in the back corner. The place was empty. There were a few people outside enjoying the live music. The music was great. Anyway, we brought some of our Somerset wines from home but also ordered beers, pizza and champagne. It's not like we were merely using their facility with no benefit to them. A couple came in and used another inside table. Again, there was still open seating inside. We weren't loud. We were respectful. We spent money. When it came time to cut the cake, we asked to borrow a knife. The female employee's comment was, "We can't lend you a knife. This is why we tell people to bring cupcakes" in a very condescending and rude tone. There was absolutely no excuse for that demeanor. She should have been kind. And as a side note, any time someone from our party walked up to the tasting counter, the employees didn't acknowledge them. A male and female were talking to each other and told us we needed to wait. What kind of customer service is that?? I've read through many of the comments and it sounds like bridal parties and bachelor parties are perfectly acceptable. And we all know how rowdy they can get. But our quiet retirement party did not feel welcomed. Go to Peltzer if you're in the area. Great vibe! Very chill! Amazing Sangrias and slushies.

    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!

    The ambience and service at the bar and in the winery itself is good, even though it gets very busy…read morethe service is still great and it's a great place to sit around and catch up with friends while sipping wine. 5/17/26 Food: I arrived at 5:30pm, sat with friends for 20 minutes I then went to get food. I was told by a staff member that the only food was out of the food truck in front of the building. I ordered nachos and a quesadilla, the waited for 1 hour to get my food, I had ordered by 6pm. I did not get my food until 7:05pm. Two employees were running the food truck and only one was working on the orders. By the time my food was handed to me it was past the time to go. Post ordering I was given a buzzer and was told to stay near because if it went off and I wasn't close it might not buzz. All of my friends were in the member area of the winery so I opted to stay near the food truck. I did ask about my order, I asked for it to just be cancelled but was told that it was being worked on; one hour later I finally received the smallest most bare carne asada nachos and a small quesadilla.

Max Lotorto, the manager, helped facilitate our menu requests and was so kind and thoughtful throughout the process. Honestly, Max makes every visit better he's such a genuinely nice guy, and we always love stopping by and catching up with him when we're there. Needless to say, our birthday celebration was everything we needed and more. Lulu Marie is a staple and a true asset to the team. She's genuine and always happy to help in any way, every single time we've seen her she made our experience even more special. We recently became members, and coming in regularly makes this place feel like family. I can't recommend Venzia enough.

We kept hearing everyone rave about the Pistachio Pesto Pizza with pepperoncinis, so we had to try it--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We also ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli. It arrived a little less than piping hot, but the flavor was so incredible I happily took the leftovers home to enjoy later. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and the friendly, attentive service behind the counter made our first visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

    Callaway Vineyard & Winery hosted a 4th of July celebration and fireworks viewing for a minimum…read morefee, that included free parking and a celebratory glass of sparkling wine. The venue provided numerous opportunities for viewing fireworks provided by the city of Temecula and another hosted by the Pechanga Casino. Seating was provided at different viewpoints both indoor and outside among the vines. The afternoon was consumed by a DJ playing 70s/80s hits as people sang, danced, enjoyed food from local vendors or the Meritage restaurant. Very warm, casual, and friendly environment that provided a wonderful California sunset. Great time for all.

The grounds and overall atmosphere are definitely one of its strongest qualities. That said, when it comes to the service and the wine itself, there are definitely better options in Temecula. The pours were surprisingly small -- well under what you would expect -- and the service felt impersonal. Unfortunately, the experience lacked the warmth and attentiveness that make a wine tasting feel enjoyable and memorable. As for the wine, we found it not very palatable, especially in comparison to Bolero next door, which offered a much more enjoyable overall experience. While Callaway has the advantage of a gorgeous view, the quality of the wine and the hospitality simply did not measure up for us. Overall, it's a lovely place to visit for the scenery, but if your priority is excellent wine and welcoming service, there are stronger choices nearby.
