We went to do wine tasting and see the horses we had been told about. We saw 2 Draft horses in an open pen with no coverage for them from the weather. They are obviously old, too thin, with split hooves. One could not put his foot all the way dow. It was appalling. Needless to say, we did not stay for wine tasting. read more

I've been visiting Longshadow for many years. I recently decided to become a Wine Club member for two reasons: I love the Bonfire Saturdays and have a 5-yr old so the outdoor area w/ a playground makes it very family friendly. The wine is not great, there are a few good reds, but I have NOT liked the whites at all. The main reason for my 2-star review is because of issues I am still having with my wine club membership. I discovered I was being charged twice for my membership. Upon realizing it, I wrote 3 emails to the Wine Club email. I had NO response (however, they did get back to me months ago with an easy question about the Bonfire events). I called - the gentleman was nice - he cancelled one of the memberships so I wouldn't get charged in the future, but advised I email the events email instead of the wine club, as they check those emails more frequently. Well my friends, I think I am up to 6 total emails over a month or two period...ZERO RESPONSE. So unprofessional!!! I eventually just reported a problem through my credit card to get reimbursed for the two double charges. But it's a shame it even had to come to that. As soon as my 1 year membership is up I am cancelling immediately. I'll take my money elsewhere to wineries that have good customer service and value their members. read more

Very peaceful, family friendly. Food was decent, price was good. We will definitely one back. It was a nice change from busy city life.

Love this vineyard! They have a huge outside area with a live band and dancing. Huge indoor area as well. Super clean, nice bathrooms, fast service. Great tasting wine and if you get tired of drinking- you can switch over to wine popsicles! Yum! read more

Everything.....atmosphere is great, wine is delicious and staff was very friendly. Definitely a 5 star establishment read more

The Buttero and L'Orange white wines were the best white wines I tried all day. They were light and fruity, sweet but not syrupy. My boyfriend loved the reds as well, his favorite was the outlaw red. The boot shooter was so cute and yummy, chocolate cowboy boot with port inside. Loved the country ranch atmosphere. Services was great, workers were friendly. Just the type of people you want pouring you wine! read more

They could improve their service. Their hospitality not too mention their cleanliness of the overall place. 8-3-2024 attended a wedding. The bathrooms were disgusting. The reception hall floor was a mess. The onsite food service was mediocre at best. The reception hall was so hot, the doors were open to get some air coming in. The person that was there running the event said their air wasn't that great. The ceiling fans they had inside were on super slow, so slow you could see the spider webs hanging from them along with off the huge ceiling. The bride and groom were so nice and great people. They had a good crowd. The owner of the winery booked another small acoustic guitar player at the lower spot, but he started playing and you could hear that guy over the private ceremony. If I owned this place I would be ashamed of the horrible and down right disrespectful service that was provided. The wine that is made there, taste like paint thinner The vineyards look like they could use some gardening. Weeds everywhere. I wouldn't hold anything here, after seeing what they went through and how the owner isn't taking ownership of not providing what they paid for. That's just down right unethical. read more

Although the grounds are pretty, staff was friendly and wine was good -- as an animal care professional it was disappointing to see the lack of care for the animals at the establishment. It appears that all animals hooves require maintenance in addition to overall grooming. The enclosures would also benefit from more routine cleaning / general maintenance in addition to fly prevention measures. The horses would especially benefit from fly prevention. There are a variety of methods to address flies to ensure the comfort and overall well being of the animals. I don't feel it is beyond financial means for Long Shadow to provide more adequate care for the animals. Based off business reviews it appears this has been an ongoing issue as other community members have shared their concerns. I even had a friend opt to not have her wedding at the location based off the animals care not being at a higher standard. There are many local groups that can provide referrals for hiring additional care from grooming services to farrier's all in which would come to your location. Speaking on behalf of the community and animal advocates and lovers alike we'd appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. read more

Cute little spot for wine tasting. Felt like I was in the woods away from the busy city. Dave who assisted us provided the best customer service ever. He was so kind easily to exchange conversations. Made us comfortable suggesting the best wines to taste. Complimentary popcorn was provided upon request. There were horses, goats, and alpaca to see on the ranch which made it a nice touch. Highly recommend visiting this winery. Thanks to Dave, I will returned. read more

Amazing views, great staff and easy parking. Enjoyed that the animals were on-site and so easy to take pics with

This place looked charming when we first got here, but the longer we stayed the more we didn't like it. We showed up with a reservation, but it still took them a while to get set up. They sat us at dirty tables, then barely wiped it down for us afterwards. We had to go back in with our own napkins after whey wiped it down. The wine was served in plastic cups, and wasn't that great. A lot of my family did the tastings, but wasn't too fond of the choices. Quite a small menu. The hot chocolate with a shot of port was decent though. And helped to keep us warm. We tried to use the fire pit and they told us no because it wasn't 5:30pm yet, it was only 4pm. We asked the guy if we can pay for early use since we were cold and he told us no, and that all of them were reserved already anyways. We asked if there were other heaters we could use, like the tall portable ones, and I'm assuming us asking all these things got him frustrated because he then got rude with us. Not accommodating at all and he reminded us several times we had the "free" reservation as if that was the reason why we were being treated the way we were being treated. We up and left after that. read more

Super outdoorsy feel! Wine was pretty good, did a tasting each and enjoyed them all. The employee who helped us "dave" was very attentive and helpful. They have a delicious sangria and wine slushes as well. Have a play ground for the kids, and a few animals for the kids to enjoy as well. Highly recommend a stop in, you won't feel like a number like some of these other wineries, feel wanted and appreciated! read more

My husband and I got married here this past weekend and I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding. It is a beautiful venue. You don't need a lot of extra decore as the barn is beautiful in itself. Dave, Chris and the team did an AMAZING job at coordinating all the aspects of the wedding. Mark and Monica are the sweetest and make the most delicious bbq food. My family cannot stop talking about how good it was. One thing to note if you plan on getting married here, which I highly suggest, is beware that communication from the owner isn't fantastic. John is your main contact with all the wedding details, payments, etc. He has fantastic communication in the beginning, as he is making the sale of his venue for your wedding. He answers so fast. However, if you have any questions for him during the time you're planning, he kind of disappears. After a few emails (one a month), we just called the winery and the team told him to call us and he did. Luckily, we like going to Temecula and aren't terribly far away, so we were also able to make a quick stop to the winery and ask Dave questions, to which he answered, otherwise somethings may not have been ever answered. John's communication picks up in the last two to three months prior to the wedding. He was more responsive. Overall, fantastic venue for a wedding, great bbq food and good wine! Our wedding turned out great! read more

Kid friendly! Putting that first so all my parents know that this is the spot to go if you have a little one. Such a great winery for parents to come relax and let their kids play and see some farm animals. We opted for the 3 tastings and it was more than enough. The bar tenders were very welcoming and helped us choose some yummy wines. Thanks guys! We chilled in the patio which had more than enough seating. My 4 year old loved the play area and looking at the goats and horses. Can't wait to come back! read more

Definitely kid/family friendly. Kinda hoped there was music playing the whole time. And more animal interaction would be nice. But as far as wine goes, enjoyed it! read more

Longshadow Ranch has its own unique charms, but with all of the wineries in the area it doesn't quite feel like those are enough to make it stand out. It's very rustic and cute with lots of animals and an outdoorsy feel, but it doesn't seem to be kept up very well between the dirty bathrooms, animal pens, and tables. With a small staff, it feels like a place that has been left in need of some real TLC. Sitting outside is pleasant and the big tables inside are appreciated with the cool indoor environment and atmosphere. Our bartender was also super great, being transparent about what he did and didn't recommend, keeping conversation and sharing generous wine pours for our tasting. Ultimately, though, the wine wasn't really very good. We did tasting flights, and nothing stood out with taste of each wine ranging from fine to poor. However, the price for the generous tasting pours was super reasonable and our group was able to hang out for a while. Given the chance to come back I wouldn't completely say no, but I'd be more interested in trying somewhere new instead. read more

The service here was great. They don't do wine tasting on the weekends but they honored the value of our Groupon and applied that to a bottle which was great. They had live music and it was good. The Sauvignon Blanc was delicious and crisp. I wish I remembered the name of the guy that helped us out. So friendly and efficient. Loved him. read more

I bought a Groupon that requires calling ahead to make a reservation for a wine tasting, but for two days they never answered the telephone. I'll keep trying, but if I can't get through, I'll have to show up and complain to management, and then Groupon if they refuse service. read more

I want to say thank you again for allowing me to use your establishment for my retirement ceremony today. Your hospitality and courteous nature is very much appreciated. (John the owner) I was very impressed with the lady who initially set up my event before Maria was assigned to be my host for my event. When my wife and  I first met Maria, she was late for our scheduled appointment and directed her tardiness on someone else.  When we met a second time, she was late again. The second time we met, she attempted to overcharge me $500 and stated someone told her to charge me another amount, I pulled up the contract on my phone, and she had no clear explanation on why "the front office", was overcharging me.  On the Day of the rehearsal, I was told by my colleagues that she was very rude before I arrived, venting her frustration to them about things she wasn't comfortable with  and or asking you the owner or making an adjustment for things, such as moving the tables out of the way a little.  When I came, she immediately started loud talking to me in front of my official party participating in the rehearsal (I have several people that can provide accounts for this). I eventually told her that this was embarrassing and that we could quit this conversation because my guests were waiting for me to start the rehearsal. I was very proud of myself because her tone was disrespectful to me, and I don't usually allow nor tolerate any form of disrespect. I am not here to go tit for tat on what she said would happen and the particular time frame she said that things would be completed. I just wanted to state how very unprofessional she was. I originally booked your location because I previously attended a Chief Ball, and a few of my service members recommended it would be a beautiful occasion if I did my ceremony there. If maria is their host, in the future I would advise  them not to book through her and notify you ( John) if there is someone else who can cater to their needs. Thanks again for the use of the establishment. read more

This is a great winery to come to if you have kids. There are animals to pet, a small playground, and live music. I felt like the wine selection was a bit limited and the food coming off of a food truck wasn't the best, BUT I was in a beautiful environment with my kids and friends. read more

Awesome winery in Temecula! They had live music when we went & people were dancing, great vibes! They also have a petting zoo which was adorable! Delicious wines & food. Love their sangria! read more

Good winery to bring the kids. Nice playground, animals they can pet, small zip line. Great bbq truck with a good tri tip sandwich, burgers, nachos etc. good wine, good love music. read more

Three stars for the animals and live band. Food was crappy - super cheeseball. The nachos are cheap corn chips with canned cheese sauce. Worse than a movie theatre. Wine was awful and had a metallic smell. 10 bucks for a little plastic cup of crappy wine. We couldn't even finish. We paid 30 to reserve a table. Turned out to be a Table top fire table. Like you buy at Home Depot. No space for food. Which was ok because no one ate it anyway. 2 sandwiches nachos cheese plate cost about 70 - wow. They should be embarrassed. Signs say no pets but a lady at a nearby table had her dog in her lap. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Longshadow Ranch Vineyard And Winery - No room at the table..crappy cheese plate...we just had to laugh - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

The server was nice, he did decent pours. The wine is just not good at all. I had a hard time to even finish some of them and just dumped them. We won't be back to this winery with so many other good ones in the area. read more

Nice place if you have kids - we went on a weekday right as it opened, so there really wasn't anyone there. There are trees and shade near the playground area so it didn't feel as hot as we thought it was going to be. There are a lot of ants (it's the summer heat!) so if you have little ones crawling around, they might have ants crawling on them. read more

Came here yesterday and had a very nice time.. Ryan is beyond entertaining. We were there for a while and when he got up to leave Ryan just had us cracking up.. I want to hire him for a party lol...

Extremely disappointed with the costumer service! The flight pour was so inconsistent when it came to our party not to mention how rude Chris was to my daughter and insulted her. I've been to other wineries and they have always explained their wines and given suggestions based on our taste buds but they just stood there and did not explain a single thing making the entire experience a bad one and we happened to be celebrating my mother in laws 65 birth day. read more

Great place for families. Our toddler enjoyed watching the horses, playing outdoors and the live music. Husband and I enjoyed their port wine. Highly recommend. Service was excellent. They also had a food truck which made all very convenient and enjoyable. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the landscaping/ seating area upcoming. It could use some attention for a cleaner environment. read more

We called ahead asked if we needed reservations they said no just come in, we got a Groupon for this place and once we arrived the gates were closed the phone was busy and no one picked up. There were other cars by the gate also trying to go here. Sad I guess we won't get to try it. read more

This is the 5th winery I visited in Temecula and was the 1st one that made me realize that not all wineries in Temecula are actually nice. We didn't get to sit inside because the building was closed, so I couldn't comment on that. First off, things that I actually liked: the setting is much more natural and not so ritz bougie (this could be a bad thing too tho). There are plenty of space outside for kids to run around without having to worry about bothering other guests. All staff were very nice. Then all the bads: wine simply didn't taste good for me, came in a plastic cup instead of glasses, animals were dirty and smelly, tables and chairs were extremely filthy with dirt/rust/spider webs, flies and gnats everywhere, fastfood out of the food truck was the only available food option and it was laughably terrible. My Temecula resident inlaws who brought me there were apologizing the whole time for such let down. I thought it could be worse and even enjoyed my time with them there, but the winery definitely way subpar in every way. Probably won't visit again. read more

Update - So we started drinking by the glass then decided to buy 2 bottles & also food from the food truck onsite. I ended up getting really sick. Threw up a lot that night then the next morning. When I threw up my upper body got hot & sweaty (food/drink poisoning?) Not sure if it was a bad bottle or if it was the food. My 2 other friends also threw up. The only person who did not throw up was the one driving & he did not taste any wine from the bottles just the single serve from the cups. We had half a bottle left that we brought back home but ended up throwing it away because we were not sure if it was a contaminated bottle. Overall great time while there but got sick from either the bottled wine or food. read more

Great place for wine and lunch with the kids. make sure you bring your own lunch Mon-Fri because the vendors are only there on the weekend. They even have a playground and petting zoo with sheep, goats and llamas. I just can't give it 5 stars because of all the magnificent winery's in the area, nonetheless a great place if you don't like the crowds at the other places. read more

I personally do not like Red Wine. It's hard to find places that have sweet whites that I enjoy. This place was awesome, lots of choices, great atmosphere, and the staff had great personalities. I highly recommend going on a date, a group, or to have an event there. read more

We came here today after reading reviews saying it was a family friendly winery. It's definitely a good place to bring kids - there's a playground and everything is pretty open so you can see little ones easily. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the animals are... Sad. The animals were one of the reasons we were excited to visit since a lot of reviews said that kids like seeing them, but their living conditions were pretty bad. The goat pen is next to the bathroom and their stall was so dirty. The alpaca and sheep have a similarly small pen that was just as dirty and their water pail was full of filth. The horses's hooves appeared to be flared and they looked uncomfortable. I like the concept of having animals there, but just couldn't get over the fact of how poorly they were maintained. read more
