They're the best with rich, complimentary flavors in each dish! Our server was great! Very pleasant! I love the ambiance at this particular winery because the views are gorgeous! There are multiple seating areas - the main veranda, an extended seating area directly to the side of the main deck (veranda), and cabana seating (deposit required). The way the veranda is framed with greenery looking out at the hills is stunning. Miramonte is still one of my favorite places in Temecula Wine Country!

Not sure how to feel about this winery, but after the second winery we visited after Miramonte, I…read moreprobably would not visit Miramonte again. I decided to do a wine tasting for my birthday with 2 other guests and drove from LA to Temecula on a Sunday. Arriving to the estate was easy, there's plenty of free parking spots surrounding the winery. It's quite an uphill stroll and some stairs are involved, but you definitely get a workout in. They have a covered patio area of tables that are either reserved or you put your name down to get a table on the left side of the winery, the middle/terrace area is usually used for private parties/events such as a bridal shower or birthday party, where there are 2 outside bars and sometimes they offer live music, the back area of the estate has a grassy area with small vendors selling jewelry and such with picnic style tables (no shade or cover), a gazebo of seating facing in my opinion, the best part of the view, and a separate location for wine club members. The inside is where you do the actual wine tasting experience, and has high bar stool tables and chairs for seating as well. Stepping up to the hostess desk, a man who worked there greeted us and very quickly told us what they offer and then walked away (had nothing to do with the check in desk area, so it was a little confusing). The hostesses had the same spiel to give, and I had mentioned it was our first time and we had absolutely no idea how to even begin a wine tasting experience. The explanations were rushed and basically told us to figure it out. We walked away towards the inside/outside terrace of the winery and were stuck walking around for 5 minutes not knowing where to go. We stopped by one of the outside bars and asked for help, the bartender told us we could start our wine tasting experience inside. Now was that so hard to help us navigate where we're supposed to go and what we're supposed to do? Not everything should be explained on a script, most of the time hospitality and customer service goes a longer distance than formalities. We finally get inside and the women working the front for the tastings were really impersonal and standoffish. We finally start getting a tasting experience going, asked for recommendations and none were received or explained so we just picked random options and had them pour. Throughout the 6 tastings we had, each pour was a different amount, if the bottle they were using was running low, they would pour the last bits of it (barely 2 sips), and hand it over, vs a bottle that was more than full, would get a nice even tasting pour. We eventually wanted to order food, and before we even started the tasting, we asked for a table and the hostess told us it would be over an hour wait. We put our names down, they called us in the middle of our 2/6 tasting, which was less than 20 min. So we went to our table and kept having to go back inside one by one to taste our different wines, as we were at a table now and not just doing the tasting experience inside. Food was great, service at the table was also great. Afterwards we left our table and walked towards the gazebo area and sat down by the view. The most enjoyable part of our day just taking in the atmosphere. On our way out, we wanted to experience a different viewpoint which was the bar area with the stools next to the tables of the "reserved/name down" area. I very nicely asked the hostess if we could sit in the empty seats for just a second to finish our last tasting and take in the view, she told us no those are reserved areas and not just open for anyone to sit at as they please. "Sorryyyy those are reserved spaces" with a smile that was clearly not genuine. We understood, dropped our wine glasses off at the bar, and proceeded to our next destination. All in all, the service here was not great. The entire experience felt absolutely rushed, it was not focused on the wine tasting experience at all, they are more focused on selling tables and getting you to order food. There was no explanations on a quick backstory of the wines we were interested in trying, it was just like "which one do you want" "*point*" poured it, and just told us to enjoy. I didn't enjoy my time here at all, and I won't be back to visit, as there are many many other lowkey wineries that are not as highly reviewed or popular as this one, and they are a much better experience.

I recently spent a lovely evening at Vitagliano winery. Upon getting out of my car I was…read moreimmediately greeted by a very friendly gentlemen, Giovanni Centrone, who offered a cart ride down to the bar. He gave me a tour of the entire grounds, which are expansive and very beautiful. Giovanni was very knowledgeable about the property and business and gave good tips about how to order food and buy wine there. He was funny and was a highlight of the whole experience. The wine list has several Italian reds which I love and I thoroughly enjoyed the Pimativo. The menu has many items to choose from that will satisfy most people's tastes. I ordered a pizza which came quickly and was hot and very delicious. The service was attentive. I would highly recommend this winery.

It's nothing particularly special, but it's fine. They also have mixed drinks and beer. The only challenge I have with this place is the line. When they get busy, the line gets long because it's not the standard winery tasting experience. This is the place to go to for the ambience. To be clear, I enjoy all their wines, but there are better wineries in Temecula for wine. Not any better for nature, though. It's always all ages, and if you like country music, it's a great vibe on Friday night as well.

Ezra was so helpful and found us a spot upfront. His helpful gesture set the tone for the rest of our visit which was a pleasant experience. Keanu was friendly and patient with us as we moved from the outside to the cave. The food and drinks did not disappoint. I enjoy non-alcoholic drinks but decided to share the mimosa flight with my sister. It was amazing! I would definitely order it again. Make sure to have a sweater or coat available for the cave as it can get pretty cold. If I could make changes, it would be the size of the tables. Our table was extremely small. Perfect for only drinking but not for those who plan to order food.

Our server Fabio was a true highlight of the visit. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable whether recommending wines or walking us through the pairings, he made the whole experience feel personal and special. We started with a beautiful charcuterie board, loaded with cheeses, grapes, olives, crackers, and more the perfect way to kick off the tasting.
