    Wine tasting
    Jordan T.

    We bought the wine tasting a choice of 6 wines. They ended just shorting us our wines, so my partner and I couldn't finish our passport. They should really call to attention about last call. I wonder how much they are saving for just kicking everyone out before they finish their wine passports. The staff don't care about any of this stuff, they just want you out as soon as they can. You might as well order all six wines immediately and chug them all so that this doesn't happen. Just go to Europa Village Wineries instead!

    We came to celebrate a friend's birthday which also happened to be the anniversary of 9-11. When we arrived, we were informed that they were closing early for a private event that was being held there. Sounds ok as we didn't think that we'll be there more than an hour to an half. The whole stage area and courtyard wasn't open as they were setting up the area for the concert. Only the side patio and back area was open for outdoor use. And the tasting room inside. The last time I was here was also during a holiday weekend which was packed. Both the tasting room and patio was completely utilized with everyone and it was first come first serve. This visit, mainly the tasting room was utilized. We did wanted to be inside but it was pretty full and we had a big group. Ended up outside which they had a lot of open table. It was pretty hot out even with the misters on. The tasting counter is where you would have your tasting. I don't know if they serve you outside or only at the counter. But it seemed like everything was done there. You can purchase a bottle and take it to your table. All the cold drinks, sparking wine and so on was in the fridge along the wall. Grab what you need and pay for it and an ice bucket and glasses will be given to you. The reds are along the front and same concept, glasses will be given to you if you wanted to enjoy it outside. Same as last we just enjoyed a bottle ourself on the patio. Food can also be ordered which we did get a couple of items. The winery itself is ok. The grounds is massive with the stage area and then you have the vineyards behind the area. It's a beautiful property if you wanted to walk through the wines and it's beautiful for pictures. I would like them to have table service where you can have your tasting outside and assigned someone who takes care of you the whole time instead of being inside along the counter. The place is nice to walk around. I'm sure you can take your drink and wander but then have to come back for your next pour. Overall, it's decent for a big groups as there's a big courtyard. Wines were decent.

    Yeah! I keep coming back because service is excellent & food is always delicious because the staff always welcomes you with a smile. The atmosphere is amazing with a breeze tonight. Many vineyards, shade trees & flowers, perfectly manicured. Parking is free & if you need to pay use Valet.

    Huge grounds to explore and lots of photo ops

    I really like visiting Wilson Creek. It is usually busy so prepare for that but they have so many places to sit, water misters, and I love the fact that you can walk through the fields. The only thing is the service isn't always spectacular. I'd rather get a bottle and spend time outside and not be at the bar too. We had no food but they did have an eatery on site with QR codes to order.

    Such a fun stop on our wine tasting tour in Temecula. This family owned winery is set amongst beautifully landscaped property. Our tour guide was phenomenal and provided us with history about the vineyards, the new ways they are working on becoming more eco-friendly, and how they work WITH nature to create a more sustainable growing environment and better conditions for the next generation of wine making. The wines were excellent, and all of the staff as well as the resident golden retriever were the best! Will definitely be back!

    I love coming here. Such a chill and relaxing atmosphere. Good way to spend a lazy Sunday. Some food, wine and life music with family and friends. I will definitely be back to this winery.

    Wilson Creek Winery is a popular winery that spans 90 acres in Temecula Wine Country. It was founded 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.

    Cheers to 3 years!!

    My husband and I had the most AMAZING time at Wilson Creek. We choose a Monday visit the winey to avoid the crowd as we celebrated our 3rd year wedding anniversary. Although we missed the wine festival, we were provided the royal treatment by Sam. We tasted delicious wine, took a tone of pictures, and was provided a tour as Sam told us about the winery's history and strong family ties. Thank you, Sam for making this day so special for us! Sam, your love for hospitality shined through.

    This is always our gotta-stop-here perfect break up the drive from here to there for any girls' weekend away that brings us anywhere close to Temecula. We've wine tasted before, but we know what we like and went straight for a couple bottles of White Cab. It's like sunshine in every sip! I love that they sink the bottles in a deep bucket of ice. Nothing better than a frosty pour on a warm day! Inside there's plenty of wine-thematic, seasonal items, and souvenirs for those who love useful, beautiful, or humorous gifts. Also inside the spacious building are the wine tasting and ordering bars. Friendly and knowledgeable folks are there to answer any questions and provide insight into your pour. Outside is the place for us! A beautiful day, warm sunshine, a gentle breeze in a beautiful setting? And the owner's dog!!! Yes please! We got there just a few minutes after opening, so we had our pick of the place for our desired seating. Pristine clean bathroom, immaculate grounds, plenty of parking, and easy access to the winery are all noteworthy. I will note we got here on a Friday a few minutes after opening. When we left, the place was filling up quickly! Come early if you can for maximum chillaxing. It's a great place to spend an afternoon with friends! Great conversation and before we knew it, it was time to be on our way. But rest assured, we'll be back again.

    This place is always one of my favorite stops whenever I'm in Temecula. The atmosphere and overall vibe are hard to beat and I love their sparkling wine. It's become a tradition for me to visit every time I'm in wine country and it never disappoints.

    We came here on a Saturday a couple hours before closing and were expecting to be turned away from the section of the Winery that closes earlier. Upon inquiring we were pleasantly surprised and were taken to the part of the Winery we had hoped to visit. We were mindful that our time was limited and wanted to be respectful of the staff so we ordered quickly with our wonderful server Diana who was so lovely, patient, knowledgeable of wine selections and even made a recommendation for places in the area. Every member of the staff at Wilson's were so friendly, warm, helpful and accommodating. There was a larger party who were a bit loud but we inquired about moving outside and again were accommodated. Diana our server was incredible and we were very happy with our first time visit to Wilson Creek and will definitely be back.

    I absolutely love coming to Wilson Creek--it's easily one of my favorite wineries. It's definitely one of the more popular spots, and for good reason. They have a great selection of bubbly sparkling wines, and everything I've tried has been delicious. It's such a great place to bring family and friends to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and stroll through the vineyards. My all-time favorite is the sangria sparkling--it's a must-try! They have plenty of other options too, especially if you enjoy sparkling wines. The atmosphere is one of the best parts. It's beautiful and welcoming, though it can get pretty crowded on weekends. I personally prefer during the weekdays when it's a bit more quieter and you can really take your time enjoy everything. Overall, it's my go-to spot for great wine and a relaxing experience. Highly recommend this winery.

    I was recommended the Grapeline Wine Tour from the Front Desk agent that checked me in at the Embassy Suites. I can confirm I really enjoyed the tour! The individuals that were on the tour with me made it even more fun. Our tour guide and driver, Tony, was very knowledgable about the area, its history, and wine making. Wilson Creek Winery was our first stop of the tour. The winery is very nice and well kept. We walked over to Michael and Brian at the bar. They gave us some wine to start the tour off. They also acknowledged my birthday by giving me a necklace with a cork on it. Such a sweet gesture. "Motor City Mike" is an incredible teacher. He gave us a tour around the winery, educated us about viniculture and corks, and taught us about the Wilson's history. By the end of the tour, we had tasted five different wines already. I enjoyed all their wine and will definitely be back!

    Engagement photos and other photo shoots are generally allowed free of charge. Schedule in advance and make a reservation before arriving.… 

    Are kids allowed at 2025 concerts?

    It's no longer a family place. More like day clubbing!

    Is smoking allowed?

    They have a designated smoking area.

    I would like to know if is kid friendly and if I need to make reservations to sit at the restaurant?

    Totally kid friendly! They have swing sets and other things for kids to occupy themselves. I believe walk-ins are accepted.

    For wine tasting, do we have to make a reservation?

    No, just go.

    Do they still have the all you can eat Sunday brunch? It's been a while since I have been but I remember I loved it there for this.

    Unfortunately, post-covid they don't. Now, they just have breakfast specials on Sunday.

    Hi. May I bring a picnic and Buy wine?

    I don't believe that outside food or drinks are allowed. They have food available for purchase (charcuterie type things) and there are plenty of tables outside to enjoy it.… 

    Is there a lot of walking involved for the 1 hour wine tour? I have two older ladies joining us.

    Yes ... the whole tour is walking and standing and in between it all we have our glasses poured with different favors of wine

    Is there a location that we can bring our food and have nice picnic at Wilson creek winery?

    They don't allow outside food or snacks.

    Can you walk around with your tastings/take them to the courtyard and sit?

    Yes

    Are there TVs in the restaurant or bar area?

    No it's not a Buffalo Wild Wings lol. It's a winery so you'll have to be entertained by the people around you and socialize and enjoy the scenery.

    Do the outdoor areas have misters for hot weather?

    I was there a couple of weeks ago and did not see misters in the outdoor restaurant but it was a mild and breeze afternoon

    How much does the winery taste card? How many taste does it come with me?

    The tasting was $30 when I went on a weekend. I believe it is a lil bit cheaper on weekdays if anything and it comes with 7 tastings.

    How many people does the courtyard private Cabana accommodate?

    I just called the events department and they told me it would hold about 15-20 people (15 comfortably).

    Hi Kimberly! Yes, you need a a reservation. They reserve tables for up to 10 at a time.

    It's very casual or you can dress up if you like.

    How much is it?

    Burgers and beverage 2 folks $60.00 + tax + 20% tip… 

    Can you take your own snacks and have a picnic?

    No they won't let you bring in outside food or beverages. I have brought in my own bottled water.

The combination of salty and sweet is perfect, with so much flavor in every bite. Definitely a must-try! The wine is wonderful as well, and Opulente is one of my favorites. Great service, beautiful atmosphere, and I love that they offer different events throughout the weekends, which makes every visit feel a little different. 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.

    Very Disappointing Experience - Bolero at Europa Village…read more I am not a member of Europa Village, but I went to Bolero specifically because I wanted to try their "large seafood paella." Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. We were a group of 10 people, and our server was very pushy about ordering the chicken paella and suggested getting two small paellas instead of the large seafood paella we originally wanted. I felt like she was not listening to what our group actually wanted, and the service was not good. The seafood paella was $70, which I expected to be worth the price. Unfortunately, the rice was burned, and there was almost no seafood--just one shell and a very tiny piece of calamari buried in a large amount of rice. The rice tasted like packaged or prepared rice, rather than freshly made paella. We also tried the chicken paella, and it was just as disappointing. There was only one piece of chicken with a large amount of rice, and nobody in our group liked it. Almost everyone at our table had a negative comment about the paella. In the end, we were so disappointed that we left most of the food and threw it away. For $70, I expected a much better-quality dish, especially from a winery restaurant. The should call "RICE PAELLA," Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to our expectations, and I would not order the paella again.

Ordered wine flights, De Portola Power Salad, Truffle fries, Grilled Chicken Margherita Flatbread, Blackened Salmon Filet and Shrimp Scampi Alfredo Linguini. The foods are all delicious!!! Perfect for sharing. The service was great, given that it's a busy Thursday. Our birthday girl got a small cake in the end. It was a wonderful experience, I will come back with my hubby!

SERVICE: Jalynne, our Leoness hostess, is a consummate (and cheerful) professional. After her informative, concise overview of Leonesses offerings, we opted (as the vast number of guests there) for the "brunch" buffet. Despite the guest-crush, all staffers we encountered were knowledgeable, courteous, efficient and good listeners. Qualities which made our visit an absolute pleasure! FOOD: All selections we had - customized omelets; other eggs; prime rib; shrimp cocktail; mahi-mahi; multiple potato preparations; waffles; salads; fresh-cut fruits: all quite tasty, fresh and adequate. WINES: Once we were ready to munch and sip, - aside from our main beverages - we experienced a memorable (member's) wine tasting. WOW! curated by Jalynne, her presentations were well-timed and just paired perfectly with our food choices - Jalynne can conduct her way through an orchestra of food ... incredible! Our non-sommelier judgement? Their wines are superb! AMBIENCE: The external and interior layouts, the views, the tasting room/store area all are beautiful - interiors are well designed and quite ergonomically laid out. Leoness, it appears you are taking care of business and your staff - they are taking care of you!

The views from the top were gorgeous, especially since we arrived around sunset and got to overlook the vineyards. Getting to the restaurant was part of the experience. We walked through the wine barrel area before reaching our private dining space, and the name definitely speaks for itself because you're literally dining inside a cave! The dim lighting, ambiance, and beautiful table setting made the evening feel extra special. We started with the chimichurri fries, which were so good! The bread with melted cheese and marinara was another favorite. We had a set menu for dinner, and I chose the Maine lobster followed by the cannolis for dessert. The lobster was a little overcooked for me, but it was seasoned well and the presentation was beautiful. The cannolis were delicious! Our servers were wonderful and very attentive throughout the evening. Overall, we had a great dining experience and such a fun night with the group. I definitely want to come back and try their wine tasting next time!

I was low-key panicking when we pulled in because parking looked completely full, but somehow I found a spot at the very last minute, so don't lose hope if it looks packed.

The line dancing was beginner-friendly, so even if you've never done it before, you'll catch on pretty quickly. Also... the little golf cart shuttle that takes you back to the parking lot afterward?

He was knowledgeable about the wines and did a great job explaining the pairings. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the pond is gorgeous. It's a great setting to relax, enjoy some wine, and take in the views. They also have a nice selection of wines to choose from. Unfortunately, the food options were a bit of a letdown. I was particularly disappointed in what they presented as a charcuterie board. There were no jams, olives, or brie, and the overall presentation was pretty underwhelming. The walnuts presentation were also soft and soggy. How do walnuts get that way unless they've been sitting out too long?! The "charcuterie board" came in a square paper box and for $42.00, I expected a much better presentation and options. Honestly, it just felt blah and wasn't what I would typically expect from a winery. Overall, the wine, service, and beautiful surroundings made for an enjoyable visit. I just wish the food offerings and presentation were more in line with the rest of the experience. I'd consider coming back for the wine and scenery, but I hope they improve their food selection. On another note, my friend order the truffle fries. It was okay but it was barely dusted with truffle.

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.

The counters where you drink wine are on wheels, which gives it even more of an industrial feel . The building itself is not that pretty. It looks like an old airplane hanger. The fixtures inside, such as the lighting, were a bit cheap looking. The furniture inside was comfortable. The wine tasting room has no restrooms inside. The building was filled with flies that kept landing on our heads. The grounds are very nice, with nice views, comfortable outside furniture, and equipped with misters and heaters. The employees were friendly. The food offerings when we were there were very minimal. The crowd was overwhelmingly in their 20's, which if representative is fine, but also telling in terms of the appeal of the wines here to more experienced palates. Speaking of which, we did not really care for any of the reds that we tasted. We did not taste a single wine that we would be interested in buying. They lacked body, balance, and complexity. I should add that the wine tasting room is also the barrel room, yet it was at room temperature. Red wine barrels are supposed to be stored at 55 - 60F, not room temp. All other wineries manage this temperature requirement vigorously. This is most certainly affecting the taste of the final product. I know this place has good reviews, but it just doesn't seem to be up to the standard of some of the nicer wineries in Temecula.

Great get seated after 2 big parties. Also in a booth in the bar area. Very nice booth. We were sat without menus first. Luckily a nice bartender I assume gave us menus. Nobody came for at least 5 minutes as we decided on drinks and all are food. Finally got a server, ordered everything because we were ready. An appetizer, a salad, and paella. To share and each a cocktail. Sooooo the appetizer comes. And we're waiting a few and then a few turns into 10 minutes. We are almost done with our appetizer. No server in sight I look over to the bar no drinks. So I go up to the Hose stand to ask where our drinks are it appears there might've been a manager there, but they ran away. The host said where are you pointed at our table. Got our server. She came over to let us know that they were waiting on juice. We now have our second course and luckily our drink. I probably would've ordered another cocktail, but it was already 25 minutes into our meal. So I did order finally a glass of wine. To go with our paella. We had a tomato salad with that was lacking in flavor and very underwhelming. The paella comes we have the seafood one. It is hot. It is also overcooked, and I saw no calamari and we had very little seafood. I would say this was not the best paella I have had. Which is unfortunate as my friend kept saying this is the best she ever had when she had been there before. I asked her if she ever had been to café Seville. Where they have what I consider the best paella. But this is also Temecula so I really don't expect much from this area. They were very busy so maybe I just had a bad moment and I hope that that is true and everyone else has a great experience there. I wish a manager had been present to be aware of what was happening on the floor during a possible breakfast to lunch transition

    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.
