Shout out to Orion for taking time to check on our dinner satisfaction. Very courteous and professional.

Our first time tasting at Ponte, and it was a nice experience. Service (5/5) Joel was serving us at the bar. He quickly greeted us and made us feel welcomed. We told him it was our first time, so he took a moment to tell us a little about the winery, restaurants, bar, and wine club. No pressure to sell us, and he was very personable. Wines (3/5) The wine was good, but not fantastic. We tried most of the menu, and the whites were just not hitting the mark. The reds were definitely better & we walked away with a bottle of their 20th anniversary. There just wasn't a lot of depth of flavor until you got to some of these higher quality reds. I also liked the Pinot noir. Ambiance (4/5) Couple things stood out that didn't give it a 5 - where are the holiday decorations outside? The bar is really gorgeous inside, but unless you're a member and can sit on the deck, there isn't a good look at this incredible view. The indoor bars are surrounded by a boutique/gift shop, which is fun, but eliminated any other areas inside to sip besides standing at the bar (no seating). Ponte does have some of the most beautiful grounds though, and we look forward to trying the restaurant! read more

Nothing else to say other than a Great spot to connect with family over a glass of wine. This is definitely one where we will meet twice a month to catch up! read more

Ramon was our server and he was phenomenal!! He knew the wine and what foods paired best with what. My girlfriend and I celebrated our 50th birthday and he was amazing!!! read more

I've been a member here with my wife for some time and the service has been in steady decline over the recent years. I feel more important on the non-member side. It seems like management feels like they made their money off of us through the membership and don't have to put any effort into service if we stop in for tastings. One person pouring for the entire members area on a Saturday, come on!!! Line was steadily 10 to 12 deep. ‍. Time to reconsider our membership.... read more

Wow! Saturday brunch is $50 each exclusive of specialty coffee which is $6. Nothing special about the buffet at all. Omelets, pre-made scrambled eggs. Bloody Mary's are $14. Soda was $6. Total for 4 over $250 with tip. It was a Dennys quality breakfast. So disappointing. Will never make this mistake again. read more

Came to Ponte for a quick bite and drinks. They have a nice patio in the back with misters. Very relaxing, great selections of wine to choose from. Their free bread is really good along with their Calamari. Was a bit disappointed with the Brussel Sprouts, they are all over the place and not whole, was a struggle to enjoy. Service was definitely great. read more

Comp bread was good. The cioppino was too tomato forward but had good taste. The soufflé was good and the moscato was a "win." Our server was on point and really nice. The weather did not cooperate. It was too cold. read more

I've stayed at a hotel before, and it was very good, so I went to the winery this time. The inside of the store was very comfortable and smelled very good. The customer service at the wine tasting was also very kind, and I was able to try various wines in a good mood. After that, I went to the restaurant. But it was hard to wait for an hour and a half. The server at the restaurant was very pleasant, and the food was very delicious. The presentation, taste, and quantity were all perfect. I would like to visit again with my family soon. read more

Really good restaurant. The wine flight was a great deal for 20$ the place itself was beautiful and rustic. The gift shop was well curated. For the food itself, the bread course was probably the best I've ever had. So fresh and perfect and the oil was to die for. I got the seafood pasta which has a super delicious sauce and the noodles were great. Unfortunately all the seafood in the pasta was overcooked and rubbery. That was the only downside. Everything else was excellent. read more

The one thing I noticed when I first visited Temecula, there are winery shops all over the city. Therefore, we felt that it's only fitting to try wine tasting at least once before leaving the city . We ended up doing this in Ponte Winery and it was a great decision. I thought this place was well maintained and the customer service was great! The pricing was also very reasonable. We got to try 6 different wines for just $30 per person . It was definitely worth it. This place is more than just wine tasting, there is a pretty wedding venue through the backdoor. My girlfriend ended up spending an hour just taking pictures there . I totally recommend this place if you are wine lovers. read more

Ponte Winery - Mini maze - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

We went to the restaurant for dinner and the atmosphere, service and live music were lovely. But the food is simply bad. It started with a huge appetizer of air fried brussel sprouts that lacked any nuance or sophistication. It was huge, however. Then for dinner we had a pizza that I don't think was made in a pizza oven. It tasted like cheese on white bread. The eggplant rollatini was heavy and dull. Once again, no nuance or craft went into its making. And the panna cota was the worst version of that we've ever had in our life. Zero flavor. I'm not sure if it was a bad night in the kitchen or they think the atmosphere and music are enough. But for the prices they charge, I think good food is not too much to expect. read more

Roni was the sweetest during mine and my friend's tasting. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and open to chat when we wanted to. Really appreciated her friendliness. She's a girls girl and it's the perfect way to be a part of someones's experience at Ponte. Thank you Roni!! read more

The food was amazing! The bread was so delish! The polenta was crisp on the outside but still flavorful. The ciopinno was delish. The service was ok. Could be better but they were pretty busy. The ambiance was amazing! A great place to help a venue for a wedding. read more

I love Ponte Winery and have eaten at their restaurant more times than I can count, however, today stood out above all my previous times. Ramon was our server, and not only was he engaging, personable, and knowledgeable, but he was beyond generous with his service. We were celebrating my sister's birthday. and at the end of the meal, he brought us two more complimentary glasses of the same bottle we had purchased and a special dessert for my sister. I have always loved this property, but today it was extra special. Ramon is a true asset to your team and has a complete understanding of customer service. Thank you for making today a memorable celebration for my sister's special day. read more

Just an alright spot. The good: the grounds are large, with lots of outdoor seating for the restaurant. Misting fans a-go. A lovely garden to walk around and view, with a number of benches as well. Service was kind. Not so good: the tasting pours are especially tiny. This is the reason I don't typically visit Temecula wineries, however their pours were particularly small compared to others in the area. The food was barely mediocre- my braised beef sandwich that I was told was rather popular had 0 flavor in the meat; the au jus tasted like water; and they very clearly don't know what "caramelized" onions means since mine were just translucent & still firm. Comp bread was cold. Also the man providing pours weirdly didn't want to tell me how much the glasses of wine were (menu only lists bottle prices). He tried to just tell me the general price range and seemed very put out that he had to look up the specific one I was asking about. read more

Ponte Winery was the first stop of our Galentines and it was everything and more. I honestly wish we had more time here to check out the patio but we were on a time crunch. The nice thing about this winery is they open earlier than most at 10am. The tasting room isn't huge and I can see it getting crazy on a busy day. I was surprised at how busy they were at 11am. Cynthia got us going with a wine flight and she was a delight. She had great customer service and was really informative with the wine offerings. She knew we had more of a sweet pallet so she kept the vibe going. She was attentive despite it getting busier by the minute! Reservations weren't needed for the wine tasting which was $30 for 6 1oz pours. read more

Always a lovely ambiance! The patio is lovely on a nice day and the scenery is hard to beat. The food recently has been slightly underwhelming. The beef and rice was very flavorful but a bit dry. Additionally the crostata was okay, but also a bit dry. This is the second time recently we've been slightly disappointed by the food. Not sure if mgmt changed or what happened, but hopefully we've just caught them on off nights. read more

Great girls day out the grounds are beautiful. Joel was the best, he had a lot of interesting information for the wines that I tested. The wait for the restaurant was an hour and 30 minutes so my recommendations are to make your reservations for the restaurant before you do your pairing. A great time with great people and great wine definitely will be back ! read more

We came here for a law office retreat. It was 6 of us total. We did the tasting room and the restaurant. I would just like to say Kim was rude and not helpful and when Aidan tried to acknowledge some of us she called him over to the opposite side to help her. We took our business to Wilson Creek instead for a friendly and very helpful vibe where we ended up purchasing several bottles. The Ponte restaurant made up for it. The food was amazing. The two stars are for Aidan and the waitress at Ponte. 0 stars for Kim. read more

The food is outstanding, as normal. Ramon, our server was on point and there for any request. Pleasant and very attentive. Our seating on the other hand could have been better, as we were the first to be seated upon opening. Not in the main patio but back in a corner with walls on two sides. Oh well, the food was still superb. read more

Wine, food, service and ambiance was perfection! The Inn is top notch! I have stayed there many times since their opening and have never been disappointed. Spacious rooms with balconies, and the most comfortable beds! read more

Great experience here and. Loved the hotel they have as well very quiet and relaxing Winery

One of our usual stops when coming to Temecula, beautiful gardens and great members deck was just put in with an awesome view of all the vineyards and mountains. They have a good selection of wines to choose from and love the gift shop inside, right now it's filled with cute Christmas decor and feels really festive! Service is usually good, nothing remarkable or over the top but nice, would recommend to check out the grounds, it's the best part! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The property is beautiful and the wine was great. They have an outdoor garden you can walk around at while tasting, a man-made pond, and we spent the night at their hotel. Each room had a balcony with a beautiful view and the pool was heated. Love this winery! read more

My daughter and I stayed here for a birthday trip. The room was very spacious and beautiful. It was so comfortable and well designed. We were welcomed with a complementary glass of sparkling wine.

The Ponte experience is absolutely amazing! Please be aware that you will NOT be able to use tasting from the same day you sign up for a membership! Please be aware of this if you're coming to wine taste that you won't be able to actually use your membership on tastings until the following day, but you can use your membership discount on bottles. Pretty unfortunate but after you come back for a second visit, it will pay off. The bar down below it's absolutely the best place to enjoy a glass of wine and be completely disconnected from the real world since you don't have cell service. :) read more

We waited 30 minutes to sit in the outside patio. We ordered the white pinot grigio and the sparkling Moscato, both were very good and complimented our meal. The Caesar salad 10/10, traditional, shaved parmesean, handcrafted dressing, croutons, and anchovies! Excellent and enough to share. The scallop entree was 10/10, seared perfectly, on a bed of pea and corn risotto, with delicious sautéed carrots, squash, and zucchini. This is one of the best redentions we've tried. The sirloin steak kabobs and shrimp entree was 6/10, served with sautéed new potatoes (a bit under done) corn, and heirloom cherry tomatoes, the potatoes seemed more like a breakfast side. The steak was medium, a bit dry with some rare pieces (what I ordered), the shrimp were over cooked and the Cajun sauce seemed out of place. It was a letdown compared to the scallops. I wouldn't recommend this dish. We tried the choclate pot du creme, served with two small lemon anise cookies, this was decadent and takes care of your chocolate cravings. It was a large serving, more than enough to share. Our server, Megan deserves a 10/10 for exceptional service and a bonus! She handled two tables of 8 people, along with a four top and three two tops. The patio is nice between the tasting room and gardens, it was in the 90's, but they have misters and ceiling fans to keep it decently comfortable. Thanks for a nice Sunday daycation. read more

Garbage service and give so little for wine tasting. Avoid at all cause!!!!!!!! The wine tasting is 30 dollars, but the pour was not usually what I normally experience. We had to go to another winery that we previously visited after this place. So just save yourself some time and go to another one!! read more
