    We would come here every year. It has gotten busier year after year. First time back after a few years. Now they charge an entrance fee of $4. Still cheaper than other patches. But the amount of people was insane. For us it felt too crowded and trying to get a picture without people in the background was nearly impossible. Still lots of activities for the little ones. There is overflow parking too.

    Peltzer has always been an annual tradition for our family going back to 2002! Over the years I have really enjoyed visiting and seeing what is new each year. I also love though how Peltzer has kept some of the favorites around since 2002 like our favorites: the pig races, gem panning, pony rides, the petting farm (especially the turkey) and the "how tall" sign. We always have that on our list of must take a photo of! This year I am super excited about the roping dummy's (my daughter is a roper) and the cotton candy! Yum! Violet who is serving the cotton candy is super sweet girl too!! Of course and a little mom break over at the sangria silo . Overall I think there is a lot to do and one day is probably not enough time, so plan for a couple of visits. Lots of activities to do for all ages like: food trucks, beer and wine, pumpkin painting, petting farm, gem panning, photo ops galore!, train ride, pig races, John deer cars for littles, steer roping dummies, carnival games... really just so much and super adorable! I love that you just buy tickets up front and don't have to break out my wallet at every single activity, kinda like on a cruise ship. Makes it super easy for us. Definitely worth the trip to Temecula.

    An even split between Orange County and San Diego, this was a great weekend day trip with little ones though it was a littler smaller overall. There's an entrance fee ($3) and then you have to buy tickets for the experiences (we had $30 worth of tickets and it was more than enough). - good-sized pumpkin section - goat petting zoo had a good number of goats but it was a little small - go-cart track was the best part, all the kids loved it and it consistently had a line - train just goes around a dirt path with no view, would skip - panning for stones in the sand was okay as well Food and drinks: - there are coffee, beer, wine and sangria available near the entrance - there are food trucks near the back (that also have water, soft drinks). We had the chicken strips and all of would recommend avoiding them because they were SO salty Overall, would go again if you have small kids!

    Entrance

    Pumpkins, piglets, Pony rides, petting zoo & pumpkin spice popcorn! You'll find it all here! There is a good selection of pumpkins to choose from. There are several Halloween props to take photos with, and a hand washing station and portable a potties nearby. There are wheelbarrow to help carry your pumpkins selections. You can get wine and sangria, and also kettle corn and hot and cold cider drinks.

    nice big pumpkin selection!

    sadly i wont be coming back next year this was my 3rd year and it was just so disappointing there was one person helping on three games my child just didnt feel it this year he said the prices where cheap and he just didnt feel like playing for the prize also i cant Believe they still have no bouncers like whatttt how much can it be to atleast have 2 or 3 bouncers? there is more than enough space also the pumpkin patch area is extremely crowded they need to get their place together and figure something out the set up is just not it everything is separated and its annoying .

    Eggs the boys collected from the Easter egg hunt
    Molly M.

    It was a madhouse. This review is for the Easter egg hunt at Peltzer Winery. Tickets are $6 and there were 4 different times for different age ranges. You can buy tickets online in advance or at the ticket booth. I did notice that they stopped selling tickets for the 5-8 year age group because it was full/ sold out. I came for the 10:15 AM hunt for 3-4 year olds. Parking was a joke hence I barely made it to the event time with 3 minutes to spare. Thinking that they will start on time, we raced to the egg hunt but all I saw was a sea of people!!! The space for the eggs was so small. It could not safely accommodate all the people that paid for the event. It was a joke. They also started the hunt early so we completely missed it, and my son got zero eggs. Not cool, Peltzer. We complained and thankfully they let us join the next hunt at 11AM. I queued up for the 11AM line, but the line was wrapped all the way up the hill about a quarter mile long. By the time they allowed people in, it was past 11AM, close to 11:30AM at that point. Go figure they start one hunt early but very late on the next one. The line was so long that they cut off the line right before it was our turn and told us that we will go next. I mean, at least they recognize that this is way too many people to go at once, and it would be smart to split the group. I think they should sell less tickets or offer more times. People do not want to walk into a madhouse. It was so stressful. It was finally our turn, and they formed a line around the egg hunt area. We had to adjust the line and squeeze in a little bit to accommodate everyone. They did a count down before they started the egg hunt. The whole hunt lasted a few minutes before all the eggs were gone. Thankfully, my son was strategic and was able to get a lot of eggs this time so he was happy about that. The boys opened their eggs and some were empty or had junk toys/stickers. There was no candy. It was such a waste of time. We didn't keep anything and ended up throwing the whole thing away. After that, we waited in line to get lunch and take a pic with the bunny. The line for both was ridiculously long. The food line did not move for 30 minutes and kids were grumpy so we decided that it was not worth it to eat here. The line to take a pic with the bunny was also long but it was moving very slowly so I waited. The pic was free and the set up was cute (hence 2 stars vs 1). This is the first year that Peltzer Winery hosted this event. Maybe that's why the event was a madhouse as they were unprepared / unaware. The event space was beautiful. We took pics next to the vineyard. This place had potential for this to be an amazing event but it was over crowded.

    long line at train ride

    We took our grandkids to Peltzer pumpkin farm last weekend and were thoroughly underwhelmed. Maybe we were just spoiled - we moved from PA where apple festivals and pumpkin farms are done right! Parking was our first challenge, followed by a long line to pay simply to enter ($3/each), as well as purchase tickets for various "attractions". You will be totally nickeled and dimed here - everything costs something. I asked the girl selling tickets if I could take a pic of the breakdown cost of everything (see attached) and it wasn't until I got home and looked at it that I realized there was an ADDITIONAL 3% fee on all credit card transactions! Note we weren't advised of this when paying. Boy, they are squeezing every last penny out of customers... First impression - sooo dusty, dirty, with a farmyard manure smell. There's no corn maze which in my opinion, is required at any pumpkin farm! We thought the kids would like the petting farm (3 tickets/$3 each), but heard it was pathetic with the poor animals ill-cared for and no supervision in there. The smell was so overwhelming that thankfully, the kids didn't even want to go in. We were anxious for the train ride (6 tickets/$6 each) and waited about 25 minutes. During our wait, I had been timing the ride and it was literally 4 minutes long! I wanted to shake the sullen teenager driving the train - even the slightest bit of enthusiasm would have helped ease the fact that we had just spent $24 for a 4 minute ride on a loosely constructed "train" which as my 3 year old grandson pointed out, "Where are the tracks? A train runs on a track!" We then went to wait in another line for pony rides (7 tickets/$7 each). These poor ponies had knit coverings over their eyes with only a tiny slit for them to see through. They looked drugged, malnourished and shackled to endlessly walk in circles all day. The kids each got on a pony and rode for several minutes. When it was over, I had to stop one of the workers who were quickly trying to get the kids off for the next riders - just so I could get a picture. We ended with a small bag of kettle corn for each child ($7/each) and wisely decided against the outrageous prices for pumpkins. They honestly shouldn't be charging you to enter what they call a "pumpkin farm". I think that if you walked through before paying for tickets, you'd soon decide it wasn't worth it for any of the attractions and you'd walk out. By forcing you to pay to enter AND to buy your tickets to do ANYTHING inside, there's a sunk cost that makes you rationalize trying to make the best of it. Note to owners: this could be a cool place if totally revamped with a new model of what a pumpkin farm should really be. So, once and done at Peltzer Pumpkin Farm was enough for us! It's definitely not worth the time or money to go here.

    Cute little farm. We got here at 10am when it opened and there were a few dozen school kids on tour. It cost $2 per person for entry M-F, weekends is $3. This is just to enter the pumpkin area. Everything else requires a payment (pony, train, games, etc). Parking is free. There's a petting zoo area, one large pumpkin patch area, 4 game booths. Walk up the hill and you pass the sunflower fields. Be careful of the bees! Lots of bees in the sunflower. You'll see 3 food trucks, keep walking up the hill to Silo bar where you can get wine and sangria. Only opened on weekends. Plenty of open space and tables for family gathering. Great for adults and children.

    We have been coming here for years between Halloween and Christmas, it's a nice family friendly place to make memories while dropping loads of cash. Family of 6, spent nearly $200 today between entrance fees, tickets, a bag of popcorn and 2 sangrias! Everything is outrageously expensive, when you calculate it all, a 30 second train ride for a family of 6 is $25. I love spending this time with my family, but thank sweet baby cheesus that this is only a once a year event for us. Our littles have a blast, the big kids just tag along and pretend to have fun for the littles' sake. You get nickle and dimed for every little thing in here! We got 2 sangrias and that was over $52, they don't taste like $52 in my honest opinion, but you sure do need the alcohol to survive the crowds here and waiting in lines for hours of your life. Lots of fun photo ops, but still there are places like Wickered Farm that we could get just as nice pics and for free.

    One of my new favorite pumpkin patches! I love peltzer winery so it's a plus during their Fall time Pumpkin Farm. It's very family friendly and they have lots of things for the kids to do! I also love that they have different food trucks here serving food as well. Soo soo yummy! Very spacious and I absolutely love the rustic vibes. To get in the pumpkin patch it's $2 on weekdays and $3 on weekends per person. Love the goats and seeing the pony rides. I wish they had more white pumpkins this year but I think they sold out in a couple days! There's also a bar you can order drinks from in the patch which is great! I got the refillable mason jar with their amazing sangria! If you come back you can always use it to get a discount on sangria. They also have plenty of parking. Staff are all friendly and helpful. I came a few times this fall and I will be back next year!

    2 glass jars for $56 dollars. The price is insane.

    There's not much to see here. For the entry fee to be $4, it only has some pumpkins out, a few animals, and like 3 booths for drinks.

ABC keeps their trees in water which not all other sellers do. The gentleman that helped us pick out our tree was very helpful, showing us the different options and was patient with us as we went back and forth. We ended up going with a 7-8' noble fir for $139.99 that is definitely at the top end of that range. It is a very full tree. The guys tied it to our roof rack and we were on our way. We'll definitely be back in future years.
