    I recently visited BOTTAIA Winery for the second time. My first time had been almost six years ago. We were taking my friend for a wine-tasting week-end for her birthday, and I remembered that it was a really beautiful place. So, we decided to begin the day there. BOTTAIA offers poolside seating for $40 per chaise. We considered spending the afternoon poolside and ordering wine throughout the afternoon, but instead, opted for the outdoor patio seating so that we could move on and check out other wineries later in the day. We arrived just prior to 11AM when the winery opens, and we were the first group to check in. For non-wine club members, we could not make reservations, but it wasn't crowded at all that day. We were seated readily on the patio. On our way to be seated, we walked through the gift shop which was really cute. We enjoyed our seating as it had a nice view of the hills and the vineyards. We studied the menu for a bit and finally decided on the dry sparkling rose'. It was very nice. I do think it would have been nicer to have a server rather than having to walk up to the bar to order. It is a fancy place so that would have been a nice touch. We found out that they do serve light food items on that patio and more lunch options in the small cafe below. All in all, I really enjoyed the views and the wine at BOTTAIA.

    Alayna was such an amazing server, I asked what she could recommend on certain wines and she gave me her honest recommendation, I loved it. The whole experience was amazing and she really is an amazing person

    A beautiful tasting room to relax and enjoy wine. The vineyard views are absolutely stunning! and the outdoor patio creates such a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. My husband and I each got our own wine flights and had the best time relaxing outside. The Terrace Board? Absolutely delicious!!! and perfect to share 10/10. Also, service was super friendly and welcoming every step of the way. Long story short, wine was good and the overall experience really stands out. I'd gladly come back to enjoy the setting and vibe again.

    What happened?! I was really looking forward to summer so I could visit my "favorite" winery, but I'm incredibly disappointed. It seems inflation has hit everyone, but this was a shock--last year, upgrading to a cabin was $50, and this year it's $100! I would love to know whose bright idea it was to raise the price this high. Are they suffering from a lack of memberships and trying to make up for it this way? I drove over 48 miles for this, and an updated email beforehand would have been lovely. On a positive note, the customer service remains phenomenal. I was happy to see Quincy again--he's an absolute joy and provides such helpful, kind, and exceptional service. Honestly, that was the only good thing about my visit. I even asked if they were under new management because, once I paid to get in, everything seemed to go downhill. While the drinks were good, the food was not. They brought out 12 chips with about a tablespoon of guacamole and salsa--I actually asked if they had dropped the chips on the way over! It's wild that the food prices stayed the same as last year, but the quality has plummeted. I can't believe the excessive price hike just to sit by a pool with absolutely no perks. Paying $100 just to sit poolside and use a cabin to change into my swimsuit is not worth it. Last summer, I was a regular and came out at least six times, even bringing my coworkers I already told them not to bother. After today, I won't be back, so those extra visits I usually make definitely won't be happening. The quality has gone down they need the old manager back because whoever is running this place now needs some serious help. I wouldn't dare recommend this place to anyone now; between the cost and the quality, I cannot! Back to the winery up the road :)

    In our search for a new winery to join, we decided to check out BOTTAIA Winery this afternoon. The winery is beautiful, with a laidback, step up from causal vibe. There was a good saxophonist performing, and plenty of people eating on one side of the outdoor area, while the in the other section (where we were seated) people seemed to mostly be having wine. We walked up to the bar and informed the server that we were there for a tasting, and that it was our first time there. Typically, at other wineries, when we tell them that it is our first time visiting their winery, they are very welcoming, and are happy to tell us about the wines they offer. This lady only commented on what a nice day it was, and when we told her we were not familiar with the wines on the list, she told us that they only offer Italian wines. She never asked what types of wines we enjoy, or made any suggestions. When we asked about any particular wines, her response was "that one's really good", but gave no description, comparison, or anything that would make us want to try them. She gave us no information on the benefits of a membership either. We left here disappointed and underwhelmed.

    First time here and I would say this winery is very modern. I think it was very beautiful and clean. It gives really good vacation vibes and views. They have good indoor seating and outdoor seating and even a pool and cabana which is discounted for members. They have a really good sparkling rose that was bomb!! Was def my favorite The service was decent could have been more attentive but it was pretty busy. I feel they need more food options and play better music for good atmosphere. I would say try here if you're coming to Temecula!

    This place has a fun fresh feel, a white building against the green rows of vines. Our visit was on a very warm day, so once you enter the AC feels amazing. The staff was very friendly right from the start, given us options of either the barrel room, main room with spectacular views or the patio overlooking the pool. (Pool only open seasonal for any visitors). We did a wine flight $32 a bit pricy but overall good experience. Had a very relaxing time there and enjoy the music.

    Beautiful venue. We reserved seats for $40 each a week or two beforehand to save spaces. When we arrived, they had a walk in special that came up to $27! The walk in special included lounge chairs, two glasses of sangria and a wristband to access a private changing room. We were served by Quincy, such a cool guy, very nice and helpful. We ordered the chicken nachos which were tasty but the chips were thin, they weren't very crunchy. We also ordered a side of fries and a burger that came with fries. The burger was cool, I wish it had more pickles and a sauce maybe. The sangria was light and refreshing. We then ordered the bottaia pecorino white and the angry wife white. The pecorino had a lightly sweet after taste but was good. The angry wife white wine was light, not much flavor profile. The weather was perfect, the pool was fullll! Kids, families, friends etc. It is 5ft and it felt like we were at a backyard pool party.

    This was my first time at this winery and I was not disappointed at all! My friend is a member of the winery so we were seated in the outdoor member lounge area and enjoyed a beautiful view of the winery itself. The weather was gorgeous, sun was shining, there was a nice breeze also. Our server was Antonio and he was very helpful going through the wine list with me and helping me choose flavors he thought I'd like the most since I don't ever drink wine. He also helped suggest some bites so we went with the chicken salad and Italian deli meat mini sandwiches along with the charcuterie plate. Antonio was very attentive and checked on us often. The food came out pretty quickly, our favorite was the chicken salad sandwich and I would say which wine was my favorite from the tasting if I could remember the name lol but I cannot all I remember is it was white, chilled and sweet! The whole experience was amazing and I highly recommend trying this place out!

    I love love love this winery! It's beautiful! I've been wanting to do wine blending here and it was perfect for my birthday! Lucky us! It was a private experience! It was just us two and our wine connoisseur! It was so much fun and best of all... You get to bottle your wine and take it home after you blend one you like. We also given a private tour of the winery and we got to sit in the members-only section. We are not members so this was a treat! The view in this section is just breathtaking! Our wine connoisseur gave me free bubbly for my birthday. Service here is phenomenal! We will definitely return and I highly recommend the wine blending. Their wine is delicious!!!

    This was my first time here, and went with a group of five others (one of whom is a member there). We were taken outside to the massive patio overlooking the vineyard. There were so many tables and comfortable couches; the perfect setting for a nice wine tasting. Bernadette was our hostess for the tasting, and she was wonderful! You can either buy wines by the glass, or you can custom- build your fight of four tastings. I chose the flight, and Bernadette was able to describe all of the wines on the menu so I could put together the perfect tasting for my palette. They offer items you can snack on with your wine. We got a charcuterie plate and hummus; both were perfect! Their specialty is Italian varietals, so if you want a comfortable place to sip on some, this is your place! NOTE: They also have a POOL onsite, which would make for a fantastic summer tasting excursion!

    Best known for their white wines! A must try

    I came here a second time today try the food and get some work done on a nice fall after noon. The weather is so perfect this year round. It's nice and quiet here with soft music. Be sure to come on a weekday for an exclusive experience. Service was amazing as always.

    Went to try the famous Temecula wineries and Bottaia was talked about a lot so I decided to take a visit with my partner and do their charcuterie & wine tasting package. Upon arriving, we waited about 5 minutes to be seated and were greeted by a great view of the winery, though it was the wrong season to see the grapes growing and stuff. Our waitress was super helpful and pleasant, describing each of the wines and their rich history as she was pouring us some to taste. The charcuterie board to was a stunning display of different fruits, vegetables, cheeses, nuts and crackers, some of which I was afraid to try but mustered up the courage to when the waitress described which foods paired with which wines. Each recommendation was spot on and to be completely honest, there was nothing on my plate that I didn't enjoy, my partner included. This nice experience ended with dessert and a dessert wine which both paired great with each other and made us question if we should get a bottle to bring home as a souvenir Overall a fantastic experience that I'm glad to call my first ever wine tasting and I'll definitely be recommending to my friends!

    Followed suit with my friend getting one tasting of champagne along with my reds

Tastings are $25 for six pours on weekdays and $30 on weekends, and you can choose any six wines from the list--including red or white sangria, which was unique. The setup is self-guided, so you can wander the property, sit wherever you'd like, and return to the tasting bar whenever you're ready for your next pour. Unfortunately, that's where the experience slowed down. There was only one person serving, and with about 10 people in line, every refill meant another long wait. As for the wines, they just didn't wow me (of course, that's purely my personal opinion). The standout was the Syrah. We also tried the cheesecake = Overall, the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere were positives, but the long waits and average wines made the experience fall short of what I'd hoped for.
