Great wine, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a Temecula wine country favorite!

First and foremost, I will NEVER be visiting this winery EVER again. To anyone that reads this…read morereview, YOU ARE WARNED you will be subjected to the worst experience and customer service that you will probably have to ever endure. My Wife and I are appalled over what happened. To the Business Owner, Cane V., you need to train your employees, the faces of YOUR everyday business, to be more EMOTIONALLY INTUITIVE and PROFESSIONAL and have GENERAL MATURITY. Where do I start? If you are looking for a winery that has an unprofessional, rowdy brewery atmosphere that attracts Entitled Stank Faced Boomer Temecula Wine Moms and their Snobby Little Cliques LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Our Experience: my Wife and I came over to sample some wines from this winery that was recommended from a friend. On the Winery Website, you can do 2 different types of wine tastings: Classic Tastings of 6 wines of your choice or a Private Wine Tasting of 8 different ones for a higher price. This is what initially attracted my Wife and I to this winery in the first place (big mistake on our end). Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that wine tasting is no longer being offered at all. The incompetent red haired bartender at the front entrance provided us with no other alternative other than "Yea we don't offer that anymore, you can do by the glass or by the bottle." Her tone changed completely when I asked her about the Club they advertise everywhere. She then tells us that they are booked for the day, however the BAR and LAWN area are open seating, after 8PM everything is open seating. It was 6:30/7PM so we decided by that point, we'll wait for a spot to open up and enjoy some wine then in the meantime. We figured, it's just the 2 of us so we should have luck finding a spot. At the bar area, I noticed that 3 seats were left unattended. The people there got up and left, no drinks were left behind or any "Reservation" placards were placed to notify people. I walk over, sit down and wave to my Wife to come and sit at the bar area. We sat down, sipped some of our wine for 10-15 minutes. Bar had 2 people working, a gentleman and heavier set Blonde lady. Both of them never said anything and nothing was ever exchanged between us and the heavier set Blond lady. I was even thinking about buying a beer or cocktail and thankfully I didn't. Shortly after this time, an EXTREMELY RUDE, ENTITLED, and VISIBLY DRUNK lady and her husband RUDLY went in between my Wife and I and COMMANDED we leave her spots. My Wife and I laughed at her and were genuinely confused because the BAR IS OPEN SEATING, THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS FOR OPEN SEATING. She then gets even more angry and DEMANDS we leave or else, says to my Wife and I "YOU're GOING TO LEAVE NOW," I tell the lady to kick rocks, it's open seating then she enters the bar area to talk to the heavier set Blond bar tender that we wont move. The Blond bar tender THEN has the AUDACITY to tell us "They have been sitting here all night, YOU TWO need to leave immediately." My Wife and I look at each other and absolutely laugh it off at the sheer absurdity of everyone's tone towards us. Who do you think you are to blatantly kick us out ON OPEN SEATING? Either you are severely undertrained from the Owner or you as a staff member play favorites with other entitled customers. Both of which are absolutely absurd. Upon this interaction, my Wife and I leave and go right down the street to Europa Winery and sampled several wines and had a $250 dinner at Bolero. Here, the experience was a complete 180° and we should've never wasted our time at Miramonte Winery being subjected to the nastiness from the Temecula Trash. If you are a large party, or wanting to host private events, I STRONGLY recommend ANYWHERE else besides Miramonte Winery. The Staff here is atrocious, rude, immature and ugly. I pride myself in never leaving nasty reviews but this experience changed everything moving forward.

There were Adirondack chairs outside, cornhole, etc. It was such a welcoming place. There were food trucks from which to purchase Mexican food etc. out in the parking lot. After Covid, they expanded which is great. The comfy Adirondack chairs turned into metal tables and chairs. The space feels much more crammed. It does not feel so relaxed anymore. And as for the employees, snarky comments should never be tolerated. My daughter-in-law had her mother's retirement party at this establishment. Initially, the woman she talked to on the phone was not very helpful or welcoming. Some other gentleman was VERY helpful and gave the impression that this party was welcome here. On the night of the event, 15 people actually showed up. We had three tables inside. There was one party of 4 in the back corner. The place was empty. There were a few people outside enjoying the live music. The music was great. Anyway, we brought some of our Somerset wines from home but also ordered beers, pizza and champagne. It's not like we were merely using their facility with no benefit to them. A couple came in and used another inside table. Again, there was still open seating inside. We weren't loud. We were respectful. We spent money. When it came time to cut the cake, we asked to borrow a knife. The female employee's comment was, "We can't lend you a knife. This is why we tell people to bring cupcakes" in a very condescending and rude tone. There was absolutely no excuse for that demeanor. She should have been kind. And as a side note, any time someone from our party walked up to the tasting counter, the employees didn't acknowledge them. A male and female were talking to each other and told us we needed to wait. What kind of customer service is that?? I've read through many of the comments and it sounds like bridal parties and bachelor parties are perfectly acceptable. And we all know how rowdy they can get. But our quiet retirement party did not feel welcomed. Go to Peltzer if you're in the area. Great vibe! Very chill! Amazing Sangrias and slushies.

There was so much to experience, and I'm so glad we went. I especially want to recognize Philip for his outstanding service. At one point, I accidentally dropped my glass of sangria and the wine glass shattered. Philip appeared almost instantly with a broom and took care of everything. Then, without me even asking, he asked what I had been drinking and went and got me a brand-new glass of sangria to replace it. When I thanked him, he simply said, "My pleasure," and you could tell he truly meant it. He genuinely seems to enjoy what he does and taking care of guests. That kind of service really stands out and made an already great event even more memorable. Great job, Europa, and a special thank you to Philip!

The whole property has such a charming European-inspired atmosphere, which made the experience feel like a little getaway without having to travel far. It's a great place to relax, enjoy some wine, grab a few tapas, and take in the scenery. Definitely a fun spot for a date, girls' day, or just a relaxing afternoon. Would love to come back and explore more of the different villages!

I enjoy the reserve room the most as you get a smaller amount of guests there vs the large tasting room. That area gets packed on a busy day. Outdoor areas are well manicured and gorgeous. Walk over to the hotel side and you find more seating, more restaurants, more ceremony locations and a pond. Haven't tried the food unfortunately but I need to! I've heard it's pretty great. Live music is a wonderful touch. Oh and the WINE! Haha gotta say it's incredible! The Angry Wife is in a league of its own. The bubbly Rose is crisp and not overly sweet. They don't have it available until early next year though. Make sure to come here if you're looking for a top notch winery.

The Restaurant at Ponte is undeniably set in beautiful surroundings, but the current menu lacks the…read morefocus and technical consistency expected at this price point. The meal opened with a complimentary amuse-bouche: thick cucumber slices topped with a vegetable "succotash," feta, balsamic glaze, and an assertive seasoning. It was visually pleasant but confused on the palate. The feta and balsamic dominated the first impression, only to give way to an indistinct seasoning that overwhelmed the delicate vegetables. Rather than awakening the palate, the bite exhausted it. The $22 scallop crudo was the most significant technical failure of the meal. The citrus-marinated scallops had become remarkably tough and chewy--closer to bubblegum than the tender, clean texture one expects from crudo. The accompanying passion fruit reduction was the strongest flavor on the plate, but it was extraordinarily thick and rich, resembling a fruit curd or concentrated dessert base. I remarked at the table that cream could be added, the mixture churned, and it could be served quite successfully as passion fruit ice cream. That may have made an excellent dessert; beneath scallops, however, it was heavy and misplaced. The remaining components, including the cucumber, offered little seasoning or balance. The black mussels were described as being served with tomato, red curry, coconut, and white wine broth. What arrived was primarily a tomato-based preparation with only a vague suggestion of curry in the background. The aromatic complexity expected from Thai red curry--particularly the warmth and fragrance of ingredients such as galangal--was absent. The result tasted less like red curry and more like a mussel-only interpretation of cioppino. Curiously, the highlight of the meal was the complimentary bread and scallion dip: simple, cohesive, and more satisfying than either of the dishes we ordered. The manager ultimately apologized, telling us, "It's my restaurant, it's my fault." I respected his willingness to take ownership. More revealingly, however, he assured us that the menu is already being revamped toward a more traditional Italian concept. That forthcoming change became the defining detail of the experience. It suggests management is aware that the existing menu--currently moving among Italian, Thai, Moroccan, Californian, and other influences without a convincing culinary through-line--is not working. But guests are paying for the menu being served today, not the more focused restaurant being promised for the future. If the shortcomings are already recognized internally, dishes with clear problems in conception and execution should not continue leaving the kitchen unchanged. The setting has considerable potential, and the manager's accountability was appreciated. Unfortunately, the food itself was disjointed, inconsistently executed, and disappointing. We will return, but I would wait for the announced menu overhaul before considering the WHEN.
