    Monte De Oro is definitely my favorite winery in Temecula! The wine is great especially if you enjoy white wines. They have really good food too and a wide variety compared to most wineries. I also adore the wine glasses and kitchenware that they sell. Everything is reasonably priced. They have live music sometimes in the courtyard. And I don't find it to be overcrowded the staff is very friendly and all the food comes out fairly quick. It's a nice quiet winery.

    Julia really needs to get her attitude checked out. Demeanor was very off, she seems like she doesnt want to help anyone, rushed us. Honestly terrible first impression, made me want to go to another winery. Ended up going to the other side with Rebecca, COMPLETE game changer. Felt welcomed, learned so much about the process, the winery, the way things are grown, made the experience a 10/10. Very welcoming, very knowledgable. You can tell she loved what she does. Some other guests agreed Becca made the experience amazing. Wines are great, atmosphere is pleasant. Will be back for Becca and the Red Synergy65 :)

    A must try. Our server was such a great guy. He really took his time explaining the wines, the history of Monte De Oro, and surrounding places to check out in Temecula. The property is so peaceful and relaxing, after the tasting, we purchased bottles to both take home and enjoy on the outside patio. Clean restrooms and plenty of parking. I'd return and suggest you check them out.

    The reds here are superb and so is the menu. Monte must be going broke paying the salary of the chef. Not kidding. We got the truffle fries...to die for. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was like biting into butter. Honestly. It was real steak but it was so soft and tender. What the heck?!?!?? The burger is delish as well, a must, soft, tender and meaty, like a good man. The food and wine here is phenomenal. I just love this place. Ask for Mary at the wine bar, she's the best.

    My wife and I took a short trip to Temecula and we wanted to try new places. This place looks beautiful from the road so we had to stop by. If you're looking for great affordable wine, this is the place we ordered a bottle of Muscat Canelli, it was great, refreshing and just a chill vibe inside. This isn't a high end fancy winery but it had beautiful architecture and nice views of the mountains.

    Our perennial favorite. It was relatively quiet and intimate compared to the other wineries in the area. Being members we picked an outdoor table next to the fireplace. The wines as usual were outstanding. I would highly recommend a visit.

    I've been a never of MDO for many years and there are two reason we keep coming back. 1 the value of the excellent wines 2. Mary. Say no mor Love everything about MDO. Brought many friends and all have joined club -can't beat the quality of wines vs the value. The pick up parties, the luaus, concerts. You name it

    This was weekend getaway. To drive up to Temecula and do some wine tasting. Monte De Oro Winery. Cocktails wow, wine great and lovely selection. I had to try their pizza and Charcuterie tray. We sipped wine and enjoyed the experience. Red wines and white wines.Love this place and will continue to visit.

    I've previously dined in before, but today I swung by to buy some wine for an Easter get-together. The wine here is amazing! I got three bottles: Cuvée de Oro, Unique elements, & Vigna Vicini. This place got a lot of variety, from dry to sweet to bubbly. My past dined-in experience was just as great, vineyard is beautiful and service is excellent. Not only that, but this place is kid-friendly, making it ideal for family outings.

    It's been some time but my return to Monte De Oro Winery was very enjoyable because the staff remembered me and being a Monday the atmosphere was pleasant and calm which allowed me to utilize my five senses during the tasting. Mary was instrumental in making the experience extraordinary and enjoyable. Great conversation, overall knowledge of the wines presented, and background on the past and present of the winery. Plan to attend the Temecula Crush Event later in the year hosted on this spacious property. The wines were delicious and reminiscent of years past.

    First time coming here. We were not impressed with the Margherita pizza and the Caesar salad. Pizza was bland like the sauce is from a can. The Cesar salad is from a bag of salad that you buy at the store. The Pretzel Bites with beer cheese was delicious. Wine was okay we tasted better wines. Bartender was great! We definitely will not be coming back.

    Friday, June 21: My friend Maureen and I came for another fun evening of Bingo! The weather outdoors was a little warm but as soon as evening hit it was perfect! It wasn't a full house, which was surprising. This time I did not buy extra raffle tickets and held on to the three tickets that came with the price of admission. We both opted for a glass of Muscat Canelli , yummy! I finally was able to call out Bingo and do was Maureen! I can't believe I finally won! Always a good feeling to leave with your hands full! We really appreciate the entire staff especially Madison! She was so sweet & friendly and she handled the wine pouring. Maureen bought a bottle of the Muscat. It was so much fun we plan on returning next month!

    It was a very beautiful spot, set over a hill with lovely views, but it didn't really have much of a vibe. The atmosphere felt a bit flat, even though the setting was nice. The wine prices were great, which was a plus, but all the food was just basic bar food -- nothing too exciting. The service was very nice and friendly, which we appreciated. We went during the hot season, and it was extremely hot, so that definitely affected the experience a bit.

    See all

    Wilson Creek Winery is a popular winery that spans 90 acres in Temecula Wine Country. It was…read morefounded in 1996 and has a huge space, private residences, restaurants, and covered patios. You buy a tasting card at the counter and then you can try any six wines on their menu. Their most popular is the almond sparkling wine and they offer a variety of other flavors. We tried lots of different wines including the sauvignon blanc and petite sirah but our favorites were the different sparkling wines. It was less of a quiet wine-tasting vibe and more like a party-vibe. There were tons of people and we saw a lot of bachelorette parties. The music was loud and there was a fun social vibe. There were still some vineyards that you could walk through and take pictures, but the core of the action is where the food and drinks are. Even though it was geared toward adults I saw a lot of kids and strollers around. We spent a couple hours here drinking the different wines and relaxing at the table. It was fun to people-watch and just enjoy the experience and energy. If you are coming to Temecula Wine Country, this should be one of the places on your list to visit.

Each time we've come, we've had such a wonderful time. The food is always delicious and their variety of wines are superb. We recently came and brought new friends and they loved it. I understand that a larger group can be a bit overwhelming for the servers so we always try to commend them and thank them for their patience. This time it was Luke and like all Leoness staff, he was attentive, patient and knowledgeable. We asked him about his favorite wines and his recommendations were great!

From the moment we arrived, it just felt like one of those places you want to slow down and soak in. It was a bright, sunny day, and the views of the vineyards were absolutely beautiful. We decided to dine inside at their restaurant, and it honestly felt like a fine dining experience without being overly formal or stuffy. The atmosphere was elegant but still relaxed, and everything was really well organized. The staff were attentive but never hovering. For food, I had the wild mushroom risotto, which was rich and comforting, and we also shared hummus and the Urgosa Farms spinach quail. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and pairing it all with their wine just made the experience even better. Overall, it was such a memorable stop during our trip. Great food, beautiful setting, and genuinely good service. Definitely a place I'd come back to again. It is definitely Yelp worthy
