Alpaca

Had an amazing time here for my sister bday. A different way to celebrate but it was fun and a very cute experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Got to feed Alpacas, fluffy cows, cute little goats, they even have these awesome dogs that help with the protection of the other animals. It was super hot today but the staff accommodated That with golf carts for the tour. The property was so beautiful, they use it for multiple occasions, events. Didn't feel like we were in Murrieta. Highly recommend if you love animals, super fun for the kids. Super intimate so you get to learn a lot.

Mercedes, Kelly & Anthony took excellent care of our family during our tour! It was a special day because we were celebrating one year since our father passed surrounded by his favorite thing: family, nature & animals, especially horses! Our tour guides were very knowledgeable, patient & professional as we had ages 6 up to 90 today! I highly recommend you book this tour! You will love it!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

The crowd arriving for a company party.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

A Special Place for Our Family -- From Vision to Reality!…read more Europa Village Winery was the perfect place for a memorable date night! My wife surprised me with this experience because she knows how much I love wine and spending time at wineries, and she absolutely nailed it. We started our evening at the Secret Room Speakeasy, enjoying cocktails, delicious burrata, and fried calamari before heading over to enjoy some red wines. The combination of great food, drinks, and the beautiful winery atmosphere made for a wonderful evening together. What makes Europa Village especially meaningful to us is our family's personal connection to the project. My family was one of the founding members involved during its early days, so seeing how far it has come and what it has become today as a destination for visitors and wine lovers is truly an incredible experience. Watching the vision unfold into what Europa Village is now fills us with a tremendous sense of pride and appreciation. It was more than just a date night for us. It was an opportunity to revisit a place connected to our family's history, reflect on how much it has grown, and appreciate the experience it offers to so many people today. A special thank-you to my wife for planning such a thoughtful surprise and bringing me somewhere that means so much to us. If you're looking for a romantic getaway with cocktails, delicious appetizers, beautiful surroundings, and excellent red wine, Europa Village is absolutely worth visiting. Great wine, wonderful ambiance, meaningful memories, and a beautiful story behind it all. We'll definitely be back!

Very Disappointing Experience - Bolero at Europa Village…read more I am not a member of Europa Village, but I went to Bolero specifically because I wanted to try their "large seafood paella." Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. We were a group of 10 people, and our server was very pushy about ordering the chicken paella and suggested getting two small paellas instead of the large seafood paella we originally wanted. I felt like she was not listening to what our group actually wanted, and the service was not good. The seafood paella was $70, which I expected to be worth the price. Unfortunately, the rice was burned, and there was almost no seafood--just one shell and a very tiny piece of calamari buried in a large amount of rice. The rice tasted like packaged or prepared rice, rather than freshly made paella. We also tried the chicken paella, and it was just as disappointing. There was only one piece of chicken with a large amount of rice, and nobody in our group liked it. Almost everyone at our table had a negative comment about the paella. In the end, we were so disappointed that we left most of the food and threw it away. For $70, I expected a much better-quality dish, especially from a winery restaurant. The should call "RICE PAELLA," Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to our expectations, and I would not order the paella again.

I love going around and trying out different themed tea parties. I booked for the Marie Antoinette…read moretea and it was a very cute space. 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 atmosphere is warm and social, making it easy to relax, mingle, meet new people, and enjoy the evening. The General Manager DeCarlo is professional, personable, and attentive, and his commitment to customer service is evident. Sunday nights are especially enjoyable. The live band, karaoke, talented singers, and DJ create an energetic mix that keeps the evening entertaining and the dance floor moving. The food is delicious, and the menu offers a nice variety, along with an impressive selection of cocktails and adult libations. What stands out most is the overall experience. There is a genuine sense of camaraderie and positive energy that makes you want to return. If you're looking for a grown and sophisticated place in Temecula to enjoy good company, entertainment, dancing, and a memorable night out, Temecula Sports Lounge is definitely worth visiting. Five stars from me and I can't wait to return!

It's a nice venue, the DJ was good, and the musical guest (female Saxophonist) was awesome!…read moreThe problem we had was the price, we were told that it was $80.00 cover charge because it was a special event, later to find out it was only $20.00. when we complained, the owner said he would make arrangements for better seating, he did after the musical set was over. by then it was time to leave. 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.
