    We decided to try out the tour and were very happy that we did. Located off the 15 freeway, it is a working ranch in the country side. The ranch is nicely kept, and is on 40 acres. We met Johan and he drove us around on our tour. Super friendly, nice, knowledgeable. We started with feeding the ducks and checking out the giant pond which has some fish and tadpoles to feed the ducks, but we got to feed them some pellet food. It was funny to see the ducks and their pecking order of who got to eat in what order. But it was kind of organized chaos with them trying to eat over the top of each other. Then we got to meet Ranger, 1 of the Great Pyrenees, that keeps an eye on the flock and keeps the coyotes away. Next we got to go over to the Alpacas, Steve was a big one but very standoffish. Ferguson the sheep was a favorite. After the Alpacas we got to see the Turkeys and Chickens. A lot of squawking going on in there. Then we got to feed some goats and a pot belly pig. Those goats are fun, but definitely hungry and devour the feed. Next we passed by their only current cow, but they have some coming back and they will soon have Scottish Highland cows too, so definitely going back for that. We went over to feed carrots to Bruno the donkey. We did not get to feed the little pony, it had allergies and had a face covering. Then we went to the gift shop and got some fun items and reasonable prices, and a dozen farm fresh eggs for $10. Last stop was the chicken coop to see all the chickens laying eggs, that was a unique experience. Especially to see 1 mama chicken leave her eggs and another come in to sit on them and think they were hers. I think when mom came back there was going to be a brawl. Tour was about 90 minutes, it went by very fast. Definitely fun and will go back with other visitors. Plenty of pics posted for you to check out.

    Where do I begin! Hawk Ranch is not only the most beautiful picture perfect venue in all of California but it also has the most hard working, flexible and kindest staff EVER. They made my dreams come true with the most spectacular wedding which included allowing me to bring my two horses and keep them on property for two nights, come in early for hair and makeup day of the wedding, bring my dog to be my ring bearer, fly a drone to capture me riding my horse down the aisle and more. I am forever grateful to my wedding planner Crystal for making my every wish come to life in the most perfect way possible. Planning a wedding was so stress free and easy with Crystals help and expertise. Every vendor included in their all inclusive package is just as amazing!!! Their florist Tammy, so sweet! Their DJ Andy, amazing to work with! Temecula catering, the most delicious food...my guests have not stopped raving about it! Not to mention their pricing is extremely fair and competitive. You also have the option to make monthly payments so everything is paid off by your special day. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much Hawk Ranch!

    We just had an amazing field trip tour yesterday and we could not have had a better experience. Our tour guide was lovely, patient and informative. The grounds are beautiful and well kept the animals are so amazing. My teenagers had the best time as well. Can't wait to go back for other events.

    We came here to see the ultimate spitting machines and got to see more than just the alpacas. We also got to see and feed the goats , baby doll sheep , horses , chickens , pigs and more with the hay given by our tour guide! Speaking of our tour guide, he was really informative and friendly. The tour lasted for about an hour. Anyhow, this ranch is really huge. With that said, they keep this place really clean and tidy. Also, you could tell that they take good care of the animals. They all looked healthy! Totally recommended ! TIPS: if you meant to go to The Alpaca Hacienda, all the Alpacas have moved here!

    My niece had her wedding and reception here and it was absolutely beautiful! The venue is gorgeous, the food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They took excellent care of the bride and groom and family while taking photo's, making sure they were fed. I think one of the coordinators was Crystal, she was excellent at directing our large family and keeping the event flowing. They had great sound for the ceremony especially for an outdoor wedding. They had a water view, I didn't get too many pictures we were caught up in enjoying the moment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone getting married.

    This is how their General Manager chose to respond

    It saddens me that I am posting with negative feedback of my experience at your ranch, but if I didn't share this with you change would never happen. I was in Temecula at the South Coast Winery for a week to celebrate my 45th birthday. I planned out every activity and one of them on my agenda was your ranch. I'm a wheelchair user and when I searched for wheelchair accessible activities, I was super excited about your ranch. Today was horrible! I had a 2pm appointment for a private tour with my father and two friends. Unfortunately, my father and I got lost so I arrived after the rest of my party. Once my father and I arrived, the tour guide never bothered to come introduce himself to me (let alone my father who was the driver of my wheelchair accessible vehicle). Instead, he chose to direct his questions and concerns about me to my two friends who were with him in the golf that was parked where my father and I couldn't even see. It was my two friends that came to rely information that the tour guide was sharing about the best way for me to get to your farm area. Which was to follow behind his golf cart to the location. My father, then started to follow the tour guide (after we could see him) and as we proceeded we came to another stop near a building. We see the tour guide saying something to the rest of my party, but again, not approaching my father and I about anything. We are now confused and don't understand what is happening. The tour guide started to drive again only this time my vehicle cannot fit in between another parked golf cart and the shrubbery. The tour guide kept driving so my father honked the horn. The tour guide just kept driving! So my father honked the horn two more times to get his attention! Finally, he stopped, but now he is so far away that my father gets out of the vehicle and yells "someone needs to talk to me!" The tour guide now comes running towards him and apologizes to my father and said he thought the other two people knew everything that was needed for me. At this point, yes, my father is frustrated and annoyed, but he wasn't yelling at that point. He was telling the tour guide to talk to him about me not the rest of my party. Obviously, my father and I would know what is best for me! The tour guide completely understood and everything would have been just fine, until the on site manager, DeAnna, came out and interjected! She came outside with an attitude and said "I'm the manager. What's the problem here?" My father (still frustrated and annoyed) started to explain and next thing we know she is telling my father to stop yelling at her employee and that they have the right to refuse service. My father tried to explain that the tour guide was so far he had to yell. She told the tour guide that he doesn't have to put up with that and told my father to get off the property before she calls the police and no refund. Then she left. Not once did she try to de-escalate the situation. She involved herself after the tour guide and my father were ready to move forward. And not once did the tour guide step up to say, "hey, I made a mistake and I understand why he is frustrated and annoyed. I should have communicated my questions and concerns with Biancca and her father due to Biancca's disability needs." This isn't the first rude encounter I have had with your General Manager via email and I should have taken it as a red flag! Today was a horrible experience $190 later! If I could give 0 stars I would!

    Hawk Ranch is, quite literally, the perfect wedding venue. The care they put into the smallest details, the beautiful setting, the ambiance, I just can't praise it enough! From the moment we saw it, we knew THIS was where we wanted one of the most special days of our lives to take place. We toured other venues, most had nice features but came with sacrifices and they all lacked a certain magic that is innate at Hawk Ranch. Hawk Ranch knows this, by the way, you can tell it in the pride they take showing off the venue and their complete lack of pressure to make a decision right away. Of everyone, the staff at Hawk Ranch was the most genuinely welcoming and kind. Shout out to Kailey, DeAnna, and Crystal (who we'll get to in a moment). We decided to go with an all inclusive package which included the absolute best staff and local vendors imaginable. Hawk Ranch has done its vetting, let me tell you. Our guests raved that we had the best food, deserts and music of any wedding they had been to. They loved our bartender (and her drinks) and were so impressed with Rachel, our officiant who was phenomenal to work with, and our floral arrangements (which many guests asked to take home with them). Our wedding coordinator, Crystal, was an absolute gem and a pleasure to work with. From day one, she felt like a friend and brought so much excitement to the process. A well of ideas, inspiration, and information. Any question we had she had an answer for. She also had the very best referrals for vendors that fell outside the scope of our package. I could go on and on with this review. I feel indebted to Hawk Ranch and their phenomenal staff for making our day so incredibly special and memorable. It's been three months since our wedding day and we're still hearing from guests about how beautiful it was. "The perfect wedding" has been used to describe it multiple times. That tells you just about everything you could hope to know.

    Recently attended a company party here during the day. It was a perfect setting on a warm sunny day. Picturesque property most often used for weddings and funerals but the company party worked out well. The venue has lots of space, a pond and walking trails, places where games can be set up as well as food areas with tables and chairs. Kids and their parents were treated to a petting zoo. There were ducks in the pond that added ambiance. For this party we had a dance floor and DJ. A nice place we are happy to recommend.

    Hawk Ranch and their staff were our favorite part of our wedding!! Cannot say enough good things about them and the venue!! Their team was amazing and took care of everything to make sure our day was seamless!! Crystal answered all questions and supported us every step of the way. The entire staff was overly accommodating and made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. Cannot recommend Hawk Ranch enough!!!

    Went to a wedding here yesterday. Funny that I live just a few miles away, but never knew it was there. Absolutely a beautiful venue! It's back in horse country of Murrieta. The grounds are amazing! The couple had no problems at all. Everything went off without even a hiccup. Definitely would recommend looking into if you're planning on any kind of event.

    Ceremony area.

    Hawk Ranch made all of our wedding dreams and ideas a reality and we cannot thank them enough! This venue will go above and beyond to make sure every detail of your big day goes as smooth as possible and EXACTLY how you imagined it. From the initial planning stage to the day of your wedding, you can count on them to be easy to reach and willing to answer all your questions. Crystal was amazing! No matter what the question, problem or concern, she had it handled. She is VERY knowledgeable about every little thing on the property and with vendors. She without a doubt made this whole process easy for us. She is an incredible resource to have help you plan! The Venue itself is gorgeous, very clean and romantic. The ceremony sight is very secluded and personal, no matter the time of day. We also had our reception on site which was beautiful under the lights in the trees and lighted pathways. 12/10 recommend getting married at Hawk Ranch!

    Pathways

    Beautiful location for an outdoor event! We attended a graduation here and it would be the perfect location for a wedding! Only suggestion would be to add more restrooms for a large event (but this was a pretty large group ). All in all I do recommend this amazing place!

    Hawk coordinator Crystal is a great person, she was very helpful at all times. I highly recommend this venue for your events, everything was so beautiful. My daughter had a great time. Thank you Hawk Ranch!!

    See all

The decor was great and I loved that many people dressed up. I definitely enjoyed my time there. The only thing I didn't like was how long it took for the food to be brought out. I recommend that you have a small bite to eat prior to going.

    I wanted to give it a few days and take a deep breath before I wrote this post. My friend and I…read moretook our toddlers here for a mommy & me Valentine's date this past weekend and we were both super disappointed. We paid $30 per person for the tea party so $120 total. Honestly we weren't expecting anything crazy, but even with that we were super bummed with the experience. The one star is for how cute the place and setup are. It has a lot of potential, and maybe something was just going on this particular day that made the experience so awful. But even if that was the case I wish they would have explained. Anyway, the tea party started at 11 am and they did not specify how long it was supposed to be or the end time. We get there on time and sit down, enjoy the adorable set up and wait to be served. It took about 20-30 for us to be served our tea and lemonade. After that we are waiting for our finger foods (which on the advertisement they stated it would be sweet and savory). They did not bring our bites until 12:30! Meaning it took an hour and a half for them to bring a small tray of croissants, cupcakes and cookies! I was so confused as to why it took so long to serve.. I mean clearly almost everything was premade besides the little basic finger sandwiches (and it was taking a long time for everyone, because we were listening to all the little girls around us complaining of how hungry they were). So finally we get ours and instead of getting ham & cheese sandwiches like everyone around us, they gave us chicken salad sandwiches which the kids did not want at all. I ate them because at this point I am super hungry and getting a headache because i'm also super pregnant. We ask the lady if they have anything else and she said she can make them grilled cheese sandwiches. The main problem was that for the amount of tickets they sold/tables they had.. they were understaffed. There was just one adult (who i'm assuming was the owner) and two kids helping her (i'm guessing her kids). I loved that the kids were serving the tables but it literally took an hour and a half for us to get a super basic tray of snacks and they only came twice to fill our tea. On top of all that, what bothered me the most was there were moms waiting in the waiting room for a solid hour waiting to be seated! Their daughters all dolled up for a cute day with their moms and literally waiting an hour to be seated for something that was supposed to start at 11 am. A lot of the moms were disappointed but what can they say? They don't want to ruin the experience for their daughters. No joke if this was my business i would 100% refund all the moms there. I was so bummed I ended up leaving with a headache that lasted all day. I am just tired of businesses taking peoples money and not delivering.

The only dishes I have tried here since under new management were the chicken wings & lumpia both very tasty, but not enough food for the price. The bathrooms are clean which is HUGE for me!! They have a tv's throughoutthe bar & a huge projector they use during events. I believe that there is a cover charge for special events & they have security during these as well. The downside is they are tucked away in a corner of a smaller shopping center & they don't advertise well enough & sometimes post things that get canceled or push out later example: the karaoke times or days are notorious for this to happen. Making it at times unreliable to plan group outings. Still a nice spot to grab a drink & hangout from time to time!

The stools were hard; we end up standing most of the time so our butts wouldn't hurt! The food was nasty, i had nachos, my friend had a cheeseburger, they didn't have pickles or tomatoes. Bummer. There was only 1 server who was doing the best she could. I don't think i will go back.

We stopped in on a Saturday morning to drop off our cars and luggage and returned later to check in between wine tasting and dinner. I will start with the few positive points. First, the staff is very friendly and they tried to be helpful. Also, there is always fruit iced water in the lobby as well as a free coffee and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast didn't look too good, so I just grabbed a little fruit, but I was grateful that they had coffee. As far as the hotel, it was really run down with tons of scrapes on the furniture and appliances. You practically had to wrangle the bathroom door to get it to slide closed. The pool area was far from picturesque and in major need of an upgrade. They do a free happy hour for guests which includes 2 free drinks. It is a nice effort, but the wine was pretty bad and the margaritas were an unnatural shade of green. It would probably be best to either give just one decent drink (this is the Temecula Valley after all) or forgo the happy hour altogether. This would have been a 2-star review, but two things really bothered me. First, they knew that we had arrived early and requested (but didn't expect) an early check-in. In any other hotel, we would have been able to check in by 3PM, or at least 4. We had been wine-tasting and I really wanted to take a quick nap before dinner and our evening out, but our room wasn't ready until after 5:30, which is really out of the question. Also, in the morning, I ran downstairs to grab a couple of coffees for myself and a friend. Then I went back upstairs to get into the room. Our key wouldn't work. I ran down to ask for another key, and they explained that I had to turn the doorknob up to make it work instead of down. It did work, but the other key I used the day before had worked normally (downward). I don't like keys that require instructions....especially when not given instructions. In the process of trying to open the door and running downstairs twice, I spilled coffee hot coffee all over my hands. The location is so-so. It is convenient to the freeway and a short drive to Old Town, but not in a great location for wine-tasting. I will not stay here again.
