We just joined the Lorimar Wine Club, and we're so glad we did! Friends introduced us to Lou, and after spending some time at the winery with him, joining the club was an easy decision. Lou is the kind of person who makes you want to come back. He's incredibly attentive, genuinely friendly, and has a real passion for wine that comes through in every conversation. He's very knowledgeable but never makes you feel intimidated. Instead, he takes the time to learn what you like, shares great recommendations, and makes the whole experience fun and memorable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beyond Lou, Lorimar has a beautiful setting, great wines, and a welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can tell they care about creating a great experience for their guests and wine club members. We're looking forward to being members for years to come. If you're thinking about visiting Lorimar or joining their wine club, ask for Lou. You won't be disappointed! read more

Lorimar Vineyards and Winery - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

The hub and I stopped in on a Friday afternoon during a recent wine tasting trip to Temecula. We purchased two tastings for $25 each, which allowed us to try six wines of our choosing. We tried most of the dry white and red wines available. Most were fine; one or two were really not good, and there were three that I enjoyed: Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo/Barbara, and the Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine pourers were friendly but didn't tell us a lot about the wine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The standouts here are the grounds, tasting room, and patio. It is a beautiful winery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lorimar Vineyards and Winery - Patio seating with misters and live music - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

I booked Lorimar Vineyards and Winery to celebrate my 30th birthday with a party of 10. We encountered a level of disrespect from staff that I've genuinely never experienced at a restaurant or winery before. To be transparent: half our group ran more than 30 minutes late due to a road closure and GPS confusion. We called ahead, explained the situation, and even asked the winery for directions. Staff confirmed that since part of our party will arrive on time, we were welcome to proceed with the reservation. Walking in, I passed two servers openly talking down about another table of guests, which set an uneasy tone before our visit had even begun. Once seated, we were given plastic St. Patrick's Day cups instead of glassware, despite it being late March, and no other table on the patio was served this way. It felt like a small but pointed signal of mistreatment. The low point came when a guest accidentally spilled a drink. We asked a server for help, and he responded by tossing his cleaning rag at me rather than addressing the spill himself. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes. My friend and I brought our concerns to a manager, who said he'd speak with the server. The server did apologize afterward, which I appreciated, but it didn't erase the feeling of disrespect. I understand that running late put the staff in an awkward position, and in hindsight, calling to cancel might have been the better call on our end. But running late isn't an invitation for bullying, and no guest, late or not, deserves to be mocked or handed a dirty rag instead of basic courtesy. What should have been a joyful 30th birthday became the worst service experience I've had. read more

Lorimar Vineyards has been here over 15 years and it's one of the many vineyards and wineries in Temecula Valley. Decided to stop here and revisit for a late lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as I walked inside, the host Dakota was super cordial and got me seated at their outdoor patio beneath sun shades, next to the vineyard and I had a perfect unobstructed view of the jazz performer on stage.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After seating, I ordered a glass of their signature Cabernet Sauvignon and the Fromagé plate, which was presented shortly afterwards. The fromagé plate had a variety of cheeses, seedless red grapes, dried apricots, fig preserve spread and additionally a plate of bread... perfect for sharing or not. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The saxophone player played contemporary music which was all entertaining as I noshed and sipped vino.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their signature Cabernet Sauvignon was quiet lovely; aroma and depth of flavors was perfect with the fromagé ...love!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]After the lunch, a stroll around the grounds to see more vineyards, felt the breeze on a hot day was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Inside the gift shop there was so much to peruse through, but some of the stuff will definitely get a giggle out of you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's an art gallery connected to the main building. I wouldn't call it an art gallery but many walls were dedicated to showcasing local artists work depicting the Temecula Valley lifestyle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In the same room is the wine tasting bar and most of the people inside the art gallery seemed to be more interested in wine tasting than the art lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was my second time visiting, both times, I had a great first impression and last impression from the ambiance, food and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service from the staff members were all courteous, helpful and just wonderful, All was amazing, Cheers!!Recommend read more

We were seated right away by the host in Marcie's section and she was kind, great at explaining the different wine options and even got my mom signed up as a member! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the live band and the misters outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will say the prices are a bit high but it's the experience you are paying for as well.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The property is beautiful and the bathrooms were clean and maintained well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the chicken Caesar salad and the turkey sandwich to share with my mom and they were both so delicious. I also got the mimosa flights and they were refreshing. My favorite was the guava! read more

We had a reservation, so we were seated right away, which was a good start. We came on a Sunday during a three-day weekend, so we expected it to be busy, and we were still there to have a good time. That said, service was definitely not the fastest. Once we got seated, it took about 30 minutes for someone to greet us and take our order. Our server was sweet, so I don't want to put it all on her, but it did seem like the restaurant could have used more servers to accommodate the crowd. The food was okay. Our sides came out wrong, but once we were able to get our server's attention, she fixed it for us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, there were a few bumps, but the atmosphere helped make up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is the $24 pepperoni pizza. Tastes frozen. Any fast food pizza is better than this. Please don't waste your money. Oh and they don't even have sides of ranch. They have packets that taste sour. Please eat anywhere else but here if you are winery hopping. Such a waste of money. read more

I purchased a Groupon for Lorimar Vineyards & Winery. It was our first time visiting this winery, and it will definitely not be our last. Our server was Chris. He was absolutely AMAZING! He was so entertaining and friendly. We asked him if we could taste only red wines. OMG!! We enjoyed every single red wine we tasted, which is rare. It was really hard to decide which bottle to purchase. We ended up choosing a bottle of 2021 Montepulciano. Honestly, I was surprised at how reasonably priced their wines were. I've been a wine club member at four other wineries in the past, and their prices were such a pleasant surprise. Chris provided wine club information to us before we left, and we even got to meet his lovely wife who also works there. We had such a great time! I hope to join their wine club in the future! read more

I went there with friends there for the first time! They were members of after that day of experience, they canceled their membership! The wine tasting was great, the wine was amazing! But we had lunch, and that's where it went really down hill! Food , and service was awful! I will never be back ! That's how awful it was! And it didn't seem like they cared ! Sad! read more

Members of Lorimar and love the Quartet membership plan. Love the music and great service. Visited last Friday for dinner and to see our favorite band Those Guys. We were only away for a few weeks and what happened? Extremely limited menu. Our food was served in plastic containers with plastic utensils. No explanation why with the old menu still on there website. The Vineyard Mac and Cheese was not warm and horrible. Priced also at over $20 for a small plastic bowl. Service was poor which we addressed twice with the shift manager Dakota. I hope something changes fast or many will not be happy like we are. read more

Love the venue- to get a reservation in weekend it is required to spend 30$ also they have a notice that any no shows in your party will be charged 10$. Not a great incentive go. Worst part is after spending 30$ plus per guest -they offer only 2 entrees. And all food comes on a PAPER PLATE OR BOWL. With disposal utensils. Food very sub par Crazy downgrades. Skip this place read more

Decided to have lunch here today and I ordered a good glass of red wine and the Turkey Bacon Sandwich. The wine was excellent and the sandwich was very good as it came with fries. Our server was Kristin and she was wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was good and we enjoyed our time there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It seems things have changed at this winery, we have been members for almost 10 years but the personnel has changed and I don't see the same managers from before. I'll give it one more try before we decide if we cancel our membership. It just didn't have same old vibe. read more

Had a family day at the winery and it was great! The weather was perfect to take our 5-month-old and sit outside with some wine. Brought my parents along as well. They don't drink wine so my mom was the DD and my dad sampled a flight with us. The ambiance was great. Lots of seating in various areas and child friendly. The flights are priced well at $25 for 6 pours, and the knowledgeable sommelier even gave us an additional glass. Overall the taste of wine was OK, but nothing we'd purchase. I don't recommend the charcuterie board. It was an unimpressive spread of lunch meat, grapes, cheese, and crackers that I believe cost $30 something. I'd return for the atmosphere and try some different wines and maybe food from the restaurant. Overall was happy with the visit. read more

Came for the murder mystery dinner after seeing a flyer at our tasting last month. WILL NEVER RETURN! The event was great for the price however the service was atrocious. Erin took over a half hour to take our order. We waited for everything all night! After our order was finally in still waited another 10 minutes or so for drinks. Hard to enjoy the event waiting for food and drinks. Even had to flag down someone else for utensils. The sangria and Sauvignon Blanc were great but thanks to the horrible slow service we wouldn't come back. read more

GREAT FOR A LATE SUNDAY VISIT (Before Closing) My first time here to this winery. A nice welcoming place. Not too large and not too small. Great for groups. Close and intimate. Tasting area has some nice visual art pieces, paintings & photography to admire. Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon on the last hour. Ashleigh and Dakota served us with a few tastes before choosing a wine to pour for a glass. We tried the Berbera, the Petite Savoy, and one other wine. All were great! It was nice that a small sample was able to he tried before committing to a glass. On top of the overall excellent experience, upon asking about bottle corks, I was welcomed to fill a small bag full of them if I wanted some for some DIY project. That was awesome! The winery was really nice and I wish I could have gotten here earlier to try the food here. I would definitely come back! read more

Lorimar is a favorite spot in the Temecula Valley. The wine and atmosphere is comparable to Napa Valley. What makes the visit the best? Lou!!! We will continue to visit. Thank you for the perfect afternoon. read more

We enjoyed our experience on Valentines Day. It is not as posh as some of the other wineries, but they were still clean and professional. The music was so fun and it was a great atmosphere. The food was a decent portion and the prices were fair. I think our waitress was a little overwhelmed so service was a little slow, but the food came fast and it was tasty. We would return! read more

There is a lot to like about Lorimar Winery, though a few details kept the experience from being great. The winery and its grounds are both beautiful and spacious, offering plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The sangria was unfortunately quite diluted and lacked flavor, most likely due to the main ingredient, wine, being too light. Actually, there was no fruit either. The charcuterie board was more entertaining than appetizing; the rolled deli ham (which appeared like turkey at first glance) felt like an afterthought or space filler rather than a curated choice. Overall, the board lacked balance and texture, with components that felt mismatched and underwhelming. On the bright side, the Brussels sprouts were flavorful and came in a generous portion. The mimosa flights were enjoyed by my friends, fun, fruity, and refreshing. I should have ordered the mimosa flight instead; the sangria, while a good idea on a hot day, was unfortunately watered down and surprisingly bland. Service was friendly, though we had to ask for ice (on a very hot day) and utensils to share the board. The outdoor patio seating area is large and includes misters, which are a thoughtful touch for cooling things down, though sitting too close can be uncomfortable due to the spray. The beautiful thing is, they have live music and entertainment. I've also visited in the past and enjoyed a Reserve Wine Tasting, which included six 1-ounce pours of my choice from the Sparkling, White, Rosé, Red, and Reserve tasting menus, a well-rounded experience. read more

Before our cruise out of LA we had a day to spend in Temecula and came to Lorimar for a tasting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a beautiful winery and the tasting was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tasting included your selection of multiple wines and the wine hosts were very helpful and the wines were all good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside space was amazing to sit and relax with your wine, chat and listen to the live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here unexpectedly and had a fantastic time. It was very poppin when we came around 2 PM. The flights are affordable here for $25 for 6 1-oz pours. Their white wines were delicious. The vibe is casual and have live music and bunch of outdoor seating. Lines seem long but goes pretty fast. Overall cute winery with friendly service. read more

For both wine and food, Lorimar is a very solid choice. Their Sangiovese is fantastic and all food I've had has been yummy. My friend's got married there last year and what was served at the wedding was so good! I've also done a couple of tastings over the last year and they've been nice, as well. The property is also super pretty. I recommend checking it out if you're making a day in Wine Country. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lorimar has a beautiful property and the service was friendly, but the overall experience was just okay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was decent, but I felt it was overpriced for what you get. The biggest downside was the wait--it took a long time for our food to come out, and we didn't receive many updates from our server while we were waiting. Better communication would have made the experience much better. Overall, I'd give it 3/5 stars. Great atmosphere, but the food and wait time left room for improvement. read more

It is always a pleasure to be greeted by Lou. He makes you feel like family in the members lounge. We schedule our visits on Fridays when he is working. Thank you for brightening our day. read more

First of all, thank you Suzy for taking the time to give us a tour and your warm welcome. We came here in search for a venue for a small and intimate wedding anniversary. This place has a great atmosphere, and I appreciate that it was not crowded. It is beautiful with a picturesque vineyard and private reserved area on the lawn. If you walk down the path after the lawn, there is a really nice arch for pictures, and we plan to do a quick little ceremony out there on our event day. We really liked this place and cannot wait to come back again. Very beautiful property! read more

I was in the area and was wondering how Lorimar winery had progressed over the years, so I dropped in today for a tasting. To my surprise they had totally revamped the property by expanding the patio area; repurposed the small party room as a tasting room; and created a member's room. Erin D ensured my tasting was perfect, and enjoyable! The wine was good and refreshing, but I didn't understand that the standard sparkling wine was on the reserve list and unavailable for the standard tasting and the only option was a raspberry or peach sparkling? Real wineries don't make soda pop wines! Kudos to their Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay! read more

I had a fantastic time at Lorimar but honestly, it was the service that truly made the experience stand out. From the second we arrived, we felt welcomed and taken care of. It can sometimes feel a bit pretentious at wine tastings, but the team here was the exact opposite they were down-to-earth, friendly, and genuinely excited to help us navigate the menu. A huge shout-out to Lou for being so attentive. They didn't just pour the wine; they really took the time to chat with us, check in throughout the tasting to see how we were liking the selections, and provided great recommendations based on our personal preferences. We never felt rushed, even though it was a busy day, which I really appreciated. If you're looking for a spot where you can just sit back and enjoy great wine without any fuss, this is the place. It's rare to find such high-quality service that feels this personal and relaxed. We'll definitely be back! read more

As wine club members for the past six years, we were really disappointed with our recent experience at Lorimar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We called early for a reservation but were seated in one of the worst locations for both viewing the stage and hearing the live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, the issues didn't stop there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our table was dirty when we were seated, and on a 90-degree day we were served warm water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was equally disappointing. The Short Rib Pasta Ragu was extremely acidic and tomato-heavy, tasting more like crushed canned tomatoes than a slow-cooked ragu. The sliders were very dry and needed to be dipped into the pasta sauce just to make them palatable. The Chicken Marsala lacked any noticeable Marsala flavor and instead tasted primarily of peas and spinach. The Caprese was served warm despite is typically being served as cold, although the flavors themselves were good. We've always enjoyed Lorimar and have supported the winery for years, which makes this visit especially disappointing. We hope this feedback is taken seriously because the quality of both the food and service was well below what we've come to expect. C'mon Mark, we know you can do better...we've had great experiences previously. read more
