Awesome vineyard/winery where it is definitely kid friendly with the small playground and the additional of the animals (i.e., alpaca and goats). The wine and drinks were refreshing and the service was friendly. Prices were also more affordable compared to the other wineries in the area. The only reason why I docked one star was that we came here during the summer and it was so HOT. All the tables were outdoor so it was difficult to feel comfortable, even though there was some shade cover. An indoor area or tasting room would give this place more business, especially during the scorching summer months. Food is rather limited here as well. read more

We did a stop at Longshadow while in town. Since it was a weekday, we had the place to ourselves so we did discover it's a nice little estate. They have the main tasting room as well as a nice patio and stage area next to the barn animals which include some horses, goats and an alpaca. The patio is a nice place to relax and enjoy they're vino. read more

First of all, I made a reservation for a fire pit and that it seats eight people so I made two reservations on the online when I made the first one I need some more seats so I called spoke to somebody on the phone and they told me you just put it again and request a second so I did that. I never got a confirmation request saying that they got my reservation. They got my email my name or anything so I assume it went through. We went over to our party went over. They're celebrating a birthday. We got there. They didn't have no information on my reservation. The place is empty. It was one man band singing up there very few people but yet he was giving me such a hard time about my reservation and what kind and did they give me a number they give me a fire pit number I said no everything was online and it and they couldn't find the email so he got on the phone and he was talking to somebody. He seemed a little frustrated but yet he wasn't really making our group happy. Our group was sitting there at the largest fire pit. We had about 10 to 12 people so with all that confusion I just said let's just stay there at that fire pit and he said yeah that's fine. We ordered quite a few bottles and the chocolate boot shot for everybody was about 14 we bring in quite a few money to the restaurant which was pretty much empty. But my group had a great time read more

Cool place! Kid friendly and they have horses, an alpaca and some goats! Wine was good but they definitely need to find another food vendor to work with (Souls sisters). Overall, good experience! Very laid back. read more

Ideally would rate this spot 3.5 stars! This was our second stop for our Temecula trip and it was a great place to slow down the pace. Few seats outdoors that we easily got as a party of 15. They have a small parking lot and there's an event venue on site too (there was a wedding happening when we visited). We ordered 3 bottles of white wine and it was the priciest bottles we got that weekend, $55 per. But it was my favorite bottle of the trip! Very light and sweet. The main reason I wanted to come here was to visit the animals LOL. They were sweet and active when we came. Our party didn't order food but they were serving tacos when we went. Lots of families and kids running around. I'd visit again for a small-winery chill vibe! read more

Went for their Saturday night bonfire. Very family friendly. The band was great. Service was okay, and overall environment was okay. The staff seemed to want to go home and was cleaning up people's tables and putting chairs away, which wasn't exactly warm and inviting. But good music, and the fire pit tables were nice read more

Ryan is a goat, and awesome. He for sure looked out for us. Great live country music at the place and animal to pet! read more

The good: I tried two types of wine for $12 per glass. They tasted great. I liked this winery because they had 2 horses, an alpaca, sheep and two goats. My kids enjoyed viewing them and they were located right where the fire pits, stage, bar and bathroom were. They also had a small playground. The outdoor lights were nice at night. The bad: I accidentally booked a 5:30-closing bonfire ticket for Saturday but showed up on a Friday during a private event because I had my days mixed up. The playground is on dirt so it can get a little dusty and dirty with the kids. There will be the scent of farm animals since the animal are right where everything else is located. The interesting: They had a wedding going on and they had a cute giant cowboy boot to hold flowers. I noticed there were a few boots like this on the property. There was an electric fence around the horse area. Google maps led us to the road above which is a private residence. read more

First time I've been to this winery being a Temecula resident since 1989. Founded in 1999, I came to watch a concert and while I was there ordered loaded nachos with 1/2 call Pastor & Carne Asada from A.M. Cafe y Mas. The winery event had a two drink minimum and they were serving their Cabernet Sauvignon among a long list of wine, beer and hard seltzer.. their Cabernet Sauvignon was very good for Temecula standards. Prices for all drinks was $10 each, and all the food served was really reasonably priced. I would suggest bringing your own chairs if attending a concert to make sure that you can choose a good spot. this is a great outside venue for music, wine, and food in the Temecula wine District. read more

We went up the hills to a family friendly winery. I had kiddos with me and this place had lots of kids, small children actually. There were little goats and playground in the back of the bar. They did not offer food but there was a food truck parked in the lot. The bar area is opposite of the stage where a band is playing. There's a list of wine they offered, no flights available but the winetender will give you a sample to taste before buying a cup. Beautiful winery and huge lot. Check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Well this was a hidden gem to find. We always like to try atleast one winery that we have not visited prior and Longshadow did not disappoint. First of all the grounds are gorgeous and beautifully accented by their amazing horses. We did a tasting and the gentleman who poured was friendly and informative. We were lucky enough to meet some regulars who were so much fun to enjoy wine with that it made the experience here that much more memorable. When Wine Tasting, or just seeking a glass you got to check this spot out. read more

Longshadow is one of my favorite last stops of the day. Great service every time, cozy fire pits, and live music on some nights makes it even better. read more

Place is very unorganized they "reserve" tables for bonfire night and then have no clue what tables are actually the reserved tables. We were moved from a table by one worker and later on another worker told people they can go sit at that table because it's not a reserved area. read more

Visited here during the crazy August heatwave. I was worried that it wouldn't be a good experience because of other reviews on Yelp but I had such a great time! Bought a tasting for 2 off of Groupon and I think we got 4 or 5 pours? The guy who helped us was very friendly and quick to come out and help us. He was pretty heavy handed with the pours and it wasn't the best wine I've ever had but definitely a fun experience. My favorite thing was the port wine in a chocolate boot which was served cold and so tasty! If it's really hot out, I would recommend that you call beforehand and make sure that the indoor space is available to sit in. Otherwise I had fun exploring, the wines were good, and the animals all looked healthy. Don't try to pet the alpaca! read more

Nice place to hang out kid friendly if ever in the area I will definitely be returning

My first visit to this winery a few years ago wasn't great. To be fair, it was a crowded weekend outdoor event on a miserably hot day. I had been totally underwhelmed by warm white wine in a plastic cup and didn't visit again until recently...but am glad I gave it another shot! This recent visit was with a women's wine group on a Friday as soon as they opened. I had never been inside the tasting room which is beautiful with a warm wood decor and western ambiance. Our servers were friendly and my Cab Franc was good. We all tried their famous Ponderosa Port shots in chocolate cowboy boots which was such a fun and yummy combo! Breezy pleasant temps after a heat wave meant we were able to sit outside. Although not pet-friendly, it is a kid-friendly winery, with a playground area and some farm animals. They have Saturday night bonfires, music and food trucks. There was a taco truck the day we were there and those who ordered said it was great. While I probably wouldn't visit on a regular basis, this was a unique winery that I'd especially recommend to anyone with kids. read more

Great chill vibe. :) This winery is great for families. They have a play structure for the kids, live music on certain days, and animals around the vineyard. We had a great time. read more

Wine is ok, like most temecula wineries. But this place is dirty. Thick Cobb webs everywhere. Tables outside haven't been cleaned in months, ants and webs and dirty chairs. And social media is misleading- only 2 horses and 2 goats not like an actual farm. And goat enclosure looks like it hasn't been cleaned in weeks. Staff is nice. I don't think it would take much to power wash lol. read more

My Favorite new winery in Temecula! The wine is always so great, and the Dave and Chris take such great care of the customers. As a port lover, I was so happy to see that Longshadow had a great one on the menu. The Saturday nights are a blast with live music, fire pits, and a family friendly environment. Looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

The winery itself is definitely not high end which is totally fine. There's a little playground which was great for the kids but the wine was warm and the biggest problem was the level of care for the animals. We noticed it mostly with the horses whose pen was covered in poop they looked like they have never been groomed and you could visibly see their ribs. It was so hard to look and at ultimately made our experience a bad one. The animals deserve so much better read more

We saw lots of videos online of this place we're excited to try it as a kid friendly option in the area. Let's just say the whole place was a let down. Compared with other wineries in the area the grounds left alot to be desired, not well landscaped or shaded at all. The play structure was old and dingy and there weren't many animals at all. The worst part was the staff, they weren't helpful, friendly or really even attentive and were busier looking through their phones and ignored us even though we were standing in front of them waiting to order. The bathrooms were also foul and filthy, and the guys making tacos left their cooler full of raw meat open and in direct sun for the entire hour that we were there. There are way too many beautiful kid friendly wineries in the area I would never recommend this place and we will never be back. read more

A nice little winery, not too crowded on a Saturday afternoon in July. Decent stage for live music but we were too early. I especially enjoyed the Port wine! So sweet and delicious. We also shared a bottle of orange Muscat that was good. My friend packed a basket of snack Items for us to enjoy. It was a nice small birthday celebration. I would return! read more

Nice place. Good for families. ...but no food today (advertise there would be) nice place to play! The website stated no outside food could be brought but then we were told we could get door dash. A bit confusing. Maybe call before you come if you have questions. We would like to return more prepared. We will def try again! read more

Love the uniqueness of this winery. Service is great, they are open late and have live music. Playground area for kids. The issue is the overall care and happiness of the animals on site. It just breaks my heart seeing them. The enclosures are full of poop, the lamb had a full wool coat in the middle of summer when it's 100°+ outside and no shade. The horses hooves look so terrible. It's sad to see that the animals are not properly cared for. read more

Beautiful winery for the whole family. It's kid friendly and the staff are all amazing especially Chris. He was very welcoming and efficient. It was a good day well spent. We had a very relaxing day here after Wilson Creek. The wines we got were delicious and I really enjoyed the kick back, not crowded and relax atmosphere. They also had an amazing food truck too, my kid loved it. The bathrooms are clean and what we enjoyed the most were the perfect picturesque arch for our family photos. 1000/1000. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a quiet Friday afternoon at this winery. We had purchased a Groupon and it was easy to redeem. The employees were very friendly and helpful.

If you have little kids and like animals then this winery is for you. My husband and I visited this winery via a Groupon. Unfortunately, we were not able to do a tasting because it was a Saturday (I guess we missed that small print on the Groupon). However, they allowed us to purchase a glass of wine each using the Groupon. I ordered the Rose and it was fabulous. We probably won't return since we don't have small kids but we enjoyed our time while we were there. We met some really cool ppl that we chatted with for a while. read more

We had an amazing Mother's Day brunch here! It was perfect for the kiddos since there's a playground and animals that they were all about. The rose drinks I got were refreshing and perfect for the hot day. Generally the prices are fair, but Mother's Day pricing was a little high. We had a wonderful time as a family and I highly recommend Longshadow if you have kids, and/or if you just love wine! read more

Just an overall sour experience...service was rude, pours were super stingy, bathrooms were smelly and gross, and the wines were mid to bad while asking for 65 a bottle. I can but a world class Cab at Vons for that price. The music was skipping badly but the attendant claimed guests enjoys that...WTF??? Why would I come back here??? Stay away...its my advice. There are soooo many other wineries in Temecula who value ur business. read more

There are many wineries to consider in Temecula but not all are created equal. I would choose this winery for a casual, kid friendly atmosphere that has a country vibe. We weren't fans of the wine or tasting experience. read more

Qualifier: I perform marriage ceremonies, and this review is about the wedding that I performed at this winery. I gave it only 4 There's enough room for about 70 people, not many more. That's true for the outside wedding area as well as the reception area inside. There is ample parking, but the main lot is a short hike from the back of the winery. The groom gets his own dressing room, about 50 yards away from the outdoor wedding arch. The bride gets her own dressing area, the loft above the reception area. There is no elevator access to the loft. The winery catered the meal, but the wedding couple provided their own cake and desserts. According to the couple, they could not bring their own alcohol, but they were able to bring their own non-alcoholic beverages. The winery provided the alcohol and served it from a fully stocked bar. The environment is rustic. The reception area appears to be a converted barn, with huge barn doors at both ends. I worked primarily with the DJ hired by the wedding couple and a couple of the winery employees. They were all very friendly and helpful. From what I could tell, the winery itself has a tasting area and live music available for everyday patrons of the winery. read more

Great Vineyard to visit with kids (2 and 4 year old) and without kids. They have a food truck that has something for everyone. We ended up staying for about 3 hours. We got really comfortable and the kids were roaming the property the entire time. Wine was ok but the experience was fantastic for the family. Live music and customer service was a A+++ read more

We used to love visiting this winery and had a membership there for many years. We ended up cancelling our membership back in 2024 simply because we didn't have the time to go there any more. After more than a year since cancelling, I noticed two new unauthorized charges made by Longshadow totaling almost $200 that had been charged to the card they kept on file. After disputing these charges a number of times they have not returned the money. This business is not trustworthy. read more

We came here last weekend to listen to music and hangout for their Saturday night bonfire event. We got here before 5:30, but the musician couldn't play until after 6 pm because of the wedding that was taking place. I called ahead to book a table, because that was suggested by others. I called and spoke with someone on the phone mutiple times and they recommended that I book the table online because they were too busy to help me. I asked if it made a difference if I choose the firepit versus a regular table, mostly the fire pits were left. The worker said it didn't matter because they don't light up the fire pits during summer because it's too hot. It was too cold for us since it was cold and I didn't book a firepit because that was the advice given by the worker, so we ended up leaving early. We were only able to listen to the music for about an hour after a 2 hour roundtrip drive. I tried ordering a peach bellini, but the worker said they don't have those on the menu anymore. They had hardly any choices for white wine and I don't drink red wine and they didn't have other cocktails. After I wasted $10 booking a dirty table and one that we didn't want, it wasn't a good experience and I won't be returning. Next time, I will find another winery to go to. It was sold on being kid friendly, but it also needs to be adult friendly. read more
