    Merlot

    We had an appointment in town and squeezed in a wine tasting beforehand. So glad that we tried Big Nose! Parking was a breeze. There is street parking and a little lot across the street that had tons. The tasting room itself was really cute and full of memorabilia. It's attached to a little hotel with a backyard area where you could take your wine or come back from one of their musical events. Seems like a perfect place to drink some wine under the stars. Also has a nice bathroom, which is sometimes hard to find while wine tasting! The wine itself was well worth the tasting price! Service was great. We were very well attended to without feeling smothered. Ended up taking a bottle of the Merlot and Cab home with us! And everything was wrapped so well. They honestly use the cutest tissue paper that I've ever seen. Perfect for gift giving. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area!

    KID-FRIENDLY AND DOG-FRIENDLY! In Old Town Temecula! Roger was the best. And the place is so charming and relaxing. Can't wait to go back next time we are in the area.

    All the wine was amazing. Roger who I believe is the owner was phenomenal and extremely friendly. I didn't have a bad pour of wine. The winery was amazingly set up and the decor was very old town. 10/10 recommend giving them a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Rodger is AMAZING !!! Did a wine tasting for $25 I had a party of 6 and we had a great time Rodger explained all the wines to us and went the extra mile to get us some chocolate to pair with there desert wine. We left with two bottles and a couple of big nose wine glasses. Also the spot is just a whole vibe and the owners are too sweet!

    I just stepped back in time and discovered the Big Nose Winery tasting room, another Old Town Temecula gem which I didn't even know existed! Roger Mattar, his wife Janice and son Matthew operate Big Nose Winery in the historic Hotel Temecula, built in 1882 to lodge riders on the newly completed Southern California railroad. Located on Main Street in the heart of Old Town (across from Pennypickle's Workshop), the property is so much more than what appears from the street. The outdoor area has plenty of seating and it was the perfect day to be out there. Big Nose is family and pet-friendly. Janice was an amazing and gracious host to our lively group, providing us with lots of historical info in addition to serving us wine. She checked on us frequently as we enjoyed our wine, a charcuterie board and taking lots of pics/vids around the outdoor gardens. Right out of the Wild West and as a reminder of how much history there is to be found in Old Town, behold the iconic Emigrant Office, built by the US Border Patrol after WWII and used into the 1970s. From what I've read, agents were on the lookout for any illegal liquor being transported through here during Prohibition! We were treated to a tour by Janice of some of the back rooms including the Ladies Parlor and a room housing the Temecula Post Office from 1887-1915 and the switchboard which once "Served Temecula Day and Night"! I'd definitely recommend checking out this Old Town Temecula gem.

    Where do I begin? I guess I should begin with Roger and Janice who own Big Nose Winery. They are one of the kindest couples that I've ever met. They are exquisite hosts serving up delicious wines. The grounds of the historic hotel Temecula are what you get to explore while sipping your wine. It is a lush and beautiful farm style garden packed with relics and antiques and even a couple of chickens. It's relaxing and peaceful like an oasis in the middle of old town Temecula. Next time you are in old town Temecula do not miss this beautiful and historic spot. You will return over and over once you do.

    Wine tasting inside the beautiful historic hotel!

We parked at the lower lot and there was a golf cart that went around and picked us up to bring us to the top. The property is different than any other wineries. It has an outdoor relaxing vibe like being in the woods. You seat yourself. There's a QR code at the table to order and pay for your food. If you want to order drinks, walk up to the front hut to order and bring it back to your table. They are known for sangrias in red, white or rose. We got a pitcher of red. We also ordered a basket of fries and tenders. There were live country music band singing covers. The upper deck is for members only. There's even a lake but it was occupied by the wedding. We saw kids and pets. It's great for all ages. They also serve beer, juice and other drinks besides wine and sangria. When you leave the property, there's a shuttle station to take you back down to your car. It's also one of the few properties that open late until 10pm on Fri and Sat.

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.
