    I've been to the tasting room at Ponte Winery a few times now and it never disappoints. This time we were staying at Ponte Vineyard Inn and the tastings were complimentary because of our stay. This was such a great perk! The outdoor views are so peaceful and beautiful here. We looooved taking our glasses outside after each tasting and walking around the property. The views, the breeze, the wine... it was all just a vibe! Kim helped us during our tastings and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. She made everything feel easy, fun and we really appreciated how she guided us through the wines. Long story short, we couldn't leave without: 2022 The Angry Wife and 2022 Merlot. Both are bold and full of flavor 10/10 highly recommend.

    By far my FAVORITE winery of them all and mainly because of the AMAZING food they serve here! Make sure to have a reservation before you get here, makes it so much easier and no waiting if it's busy. Everything on the menu is so good! Highly recommend getting the calamari appetizer to start OR if you're just looking for something to snack on you cant go wrong with their charcuterie board (you can get it with or without meats). The grounds are beautiful and there's an upper deck you can go up to sit at after you're done eating to enjoy the scenery. I really like this winery and they also have a hotel on the grounds where you can stay (I have yet to do that but plan on it)! Gorgeous place, amazing wine and food!

    Ponte is a great winery for visiting and becoming a wine member. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. It's never crazy crowded but even when there are lots of visitors, the team try to help you out as soon as possible. Love the boutique, shopping options cute and reasonable items to buy. The view outside is beautiful. Lots of areas to sit, walk around, and relax. Wedding ceremony options are really nice. The restaurant on-site has great reviews although I haven't tried it. I enjoy the live music at the member's patio. The wine club price is decent and you get access to the hotel swimming pool!

    3/8- Visit -This winery is absolutely gorgeous. It's huge ... with hotel and restaurant and tasting room and indoor and outdoor seating and plenty places to entertain guests. I don't recall our servers name but she's was incredible. We ordered an appetizer platter and a few entrees and they offer bread and a dipping sauce . We also did the wine tasting too . Overall, everything was excellent and amazing staff . I can't wait to come back with a larger group and do wine tasting and lunch. Our food was delicious and flavorful and such a gorgeous place.

    Wine seeds! lol

    We had wine tastings and the pourers were fun and made it very interesting. Service with a smile and a story. The place was beautiful. The hotel attached was very nice as well. This is a must when we come back to Temecula.

    Have been a member at Ponte for around 19 years if that tells you anything about what I think of the place. The wines themselves have evolved in the best of ways over the years. I originally became a member because of the Doppietta and the Super T, but so many of their other wines are just so great now. The winery itself has also evolved over the years. The beautiful outdoor restaurant has always been excellent. The pull apart bread and dip are worth it by themselves. The grounds are gorgeous and i honestly love just being there. It makes a day trip feel like a vacation. The Inn is my favorite place to stay in the world. The Boquet restaurant is equally as good as the restaurant by the tasting room and the Cellar Bar is my favorite hangout in all of Temecula. Try the pb&j old fashioned, I wish I could make this at home. I know I sound like I work for Ponte, it i really just love the place and the folks that work there. The membership is worth it just for the wines, but you also get discounts at all the restaurants and shop and the Inn. There are so many great wines in Temecula, but if I had to choose one place to be a member, this would be it.

    celebration for my sister at Ponte Winery in Temecula, CA.

    We enjoyed birthday celebration for my sister at Ponte Winery in Temecula, CA. We had our own private room which was nice. This was my first time at Ponte Winery and really enjoyed our lunch and wine tasting. We had the following: -Rib bye steak, seafood pasta, lamb chops, and salmon plate. For dessert, loved the mango, raspberry and lemon sorbet with fresh strawberries and blueberries. This was the perfect dessert for the hot weather in the area. The vineyard is huge with outdoor dining with beautiful views of the gardens and vineyard fields depending which section you sit at. The service was great! Check it out next time you're in Temecula. Happy Yelping :)

    First time to Temecula and tried a few winery and Ponte is one of our favorites! Lunch was wonderful and everything we ordered were yummy- esp like the mussels. Celebrating my early birthday and noted that on our reservation but the server didn't acknowledge that which was fine except we saw the next table had their birthday dessert with candle. Nevertheless, it is still a nice restaurant and the green and view were pretty ! Will definitely revisit!

    I was thoroughly impressed with Ponte Winery. When you drive up, the property is massive, beautiful, and clean! I found the restaurant right away amongst the vines and pretty roses. The outdoor patio setting was absolutely stunning! All tables have shade, and they have misters!! It was in the 90s, so the misters were very much appreciated! I saw a few couples checking out the venue for a potential wedding site; I say yes, go for it!! Our waitress, Ashlee, was on point!! Kudos to her, wonderful customer service! I ordered a wine flight and Ashlee helped me pick out great wines. I loved them so much we ended up buying 3 bottles!! Lunch started with fresh bread with a thick dip that was so yummy! My friend ordered the eggplant dish, and I had the steak and shrimp. Both entrees were so fresh and delicious. We highly recommend both!! After our lunch, we walked over to the tasting room where they had such cute souvenirs, and lots of wine for purchase. I love everything about this winery and can't wait to return.

    Fabulous & festive!

    I've been to Ponte for lunch over the years but something has changed in the most wonderful way! The food was always good but now it is EXCEPTIONAL. Ordered the wine country salad. Usually don't like balsamic vinaigrette but this one was absolutely sublime. Matched the salad perfectly. And the salad! Whoa! The candied pecans, feta, fresh lettuce spring mix & mandarin orange was divine! Also ordered the tomato bisque and enjoyed every drop. Kudos to the chef!

    Had the best time at Ponte Winery & Restaurant. The food was great, however the service was even better! We had Ramon as our server and he was excellent. Presented a friendly demeanor, knowledgeable of the restaurant, menu and offered great food suggestions. He would constantly check in on our table and went above & beyond for my Mom's bday. Thank you Ramon!

    5/5 -- An Unforgettable Winery Experience at ponte Vineyards I visited Ponte Vineyards in Temecula with my friends, and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. The restaurant exceeded all expectations everything we ordered was incredible. From the perfectly cooked steak to the flavorful Brussels sprouts, creamy mashed potatoes, and delicious appetizers, every dish was a hit. The wine selection was just as impressive. Both the whites and the reds were absolutely magnificent, and each pour made the experience even better. The service throughout the entire property was spectacular. Everyone we encountered -- from the cellar and bar staff to the team on the floor -- made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Their hospitality alone makes us excited to plan our next girls trip back. The views at Vineyards are breathtaking. The lake, the walkways, the fire pits, and the overall atmosphere create the perfect setting for a relaxing and memorable day. I highly recommend ponte Vineyards to anyone looking for great food, amazing wine, and outstanding service. Five out of five stars can't wait to return!

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.
