Did a quick stop at this winery while we were on our way back to San Diego from Murrieta. We were lured in by a Groupon deal for a tasting flight for two. Came a little before sunset around 4:00 pm... and although their last call was at 4:30 pm (they close at 5 pm), we didn't feel rushed as we went through our tasting flight. The property is beautiful with an old style building - I didn't realize it was partially an inn as well. I thought it was cute the bar area was very decorated with the cheesy cobblestone French village wallpaper decor (you'll have to look at other Yelp photos to see what I mean). The winery itself has a really nice terrace area for outdoor seating with a view of the valley, but if you're willing to walk a little farther from the tasting room there are other patio areas to sit at with more open views. For the tasting flight, you pick it up at the bar and can choose between different flights. They'll pour everything into tasting glasses on a board you carry. My fiance went for the red flight while I opted for the "sweet" flight. No grief over redeeming a Groupon and the staff were really friendly. The reds weren't nothing to write home about... which was pretty disappointing since we were told Temecula specialized in red wines. They all tasted pretty flat, not a lot of robust flavor or mouth feel. Some were also pretty heavy on the tannin. I was impressed with the sweet flight though - I've never really seen that offered at a winery, and I think it's a great option for folks who aren't into wine / can't handle tannin. All the sweet wines weren't too sweet or overpowering... they were quite light, refreshing, and fruity. If it wasn't for the fact I had a flight and didn't want to check in luggage, I totally would have bought a bottle since they were better value than the reds (at least IMO). Overall, it was a pleasant experience and introduction into the wine country of Temecula. read more

Purchased a Groupon for 2 wine tasting flights for $27 (Mon-Fri). Visited on a Friday afternoon. The wine was great! Highly recommend the red blackberry wine! We also ordered food, BBQ chicken flatbread and jalapeño poppers. Both were so good! You can choose to sit inside or out on the patio, which is out the door up a flight of stairs, and enjoy the views! Note: there are no fans or misters on the patio. We opted to stay inside as it was a very hot day. Highly recommend! We will return! read more

The view from the terrace is amazing. The wines are good. The Pinot Grigio was our favorite white and the Malbec was our favorite red. We didn't have time for the tour because we got a late start but if you're in the area this place is worth checking out. It has all the over the top gaudy decor you'd expect which makes it very charming. read more

This place is so cute! I came here because I had the Groupon wine taster for two and it came with two souvenirs glasses. They have pre picked flights for you! They all pair very well together and they also recommend drinking them in a specific order. I also ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was very juicy and not dry at all. It was very tasty with the sauce/salsa they come with on the side. They also have charcuterie boards and other foods as well, but it is very limited. It is also an inn so you can stay there for the night if you book in advance! The only down side was the vines were a little bit of an eye sore but I can imagine it isn't in season at the moment so that wasn't much of a problem. Would definitely come back because their wines are delicious! read more

My home currently contains I've 100 bottles of wine from Churon-- this is my Happy Place and they create the best wines CA has to offer. The Gold Nectar and the Chocolate Bliss are my (almost) daily ritual drinks. The staff could not be better and the entire chateau is lovely. I adore Churon Winery & can hardly wait to return. read more

I got a Groupon for the wine tasting for two. Driving up to the winery was beautiful and there was great weather when we went. The wine tasting room is in a little downstairs area with some cute French decorations and paintings. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any outside seating options, at least not to my knowledge. I got the sweet flight which came with a combination of white and red wines. My favorite though was the Mazing Mango. It was sweet and bubbly and just absolutely delicious. After our tasting we walked a bit around the winery and it was just so cute. I would recommend trying Churon out! read more

Pretty place, kind of weird set up. You have to go in the basement to get your wine then walk up stairs if you want to sit outside. And you can't fully see the view from their sitting area. We had gotten a Groupon for two wine tastings. We did the red and white. The wine just wasn't very good. It grew on us after a little while but we really didn't enjoy it. Giving it an extra star because they are one of the few wineries in the area that allow dogs on their patio and their inside space is cute from what I could see. The outside seating space isn't much to look at. Don't plan to go back. read more

This was a very beautiful winery. However, we had terrible customer service. We waited over an hour and a half for our order. I went downstairs to question where my order was nicely. The waitress was extremely rude only to run up to our table 15 minutes later because she never put in our order in, she did not apologize for her mistake. We ordered the tri-tip sandwich. The tri-tip was very tough and was sliced very big for a sandwich. Resulting in my husband having a piece of meat stuck in his throat. Not a very good experience. I apologize for not knowing the name of the server because the other servers seemed ok. read more

Churon Winery is a part of this vast establishment of hotel, party venue, restaurant and vineyard. This review is on the Winery itself. Churon Winery is located on the main drag of Winery Row. They have a variety of award winning sippings. The tasting room has a bunch of wine related retail objects for sale. They have a 5 course tasting menu and several to choose from each varietal. Unfortunately, they don't have a special price to the purchase of any bottle after your sampling. Fortunately, they have a wine tasting deal on Groupon with not bad of a price. The 5 course sampling comes with a souvenir wine glass. Parking on the property plentiful. Staff enjoyable. Ambiance pleasant. read more

So very very disappointed in our stay. I travel the world and have stayed at a variety of different hotels, condos, bed-and-breakfast, Vineyards you name it I have tried it. I very RARELY write a negative review but based on my 1 night stay here, I felt the need to write this in hopes this establishment can make changes and do better in the future. I DO believe people need to give good and bad feedback so establishments get a true picture of how they are doing and can strive to always do their best. We stayed just 1 night, in February 2022. 1) 5 minutes after checking into our room, fireplace did not work, had to call for service 2) alarm for the bathtub kept going off and it is extremely loud. The alarm is if it gets wet it sets off this alarm. It was very annoying. We had to call an after hours service phone number and the person barely spoke English is very difficult to understand how to turn it off. 3) WE COULD NOT USE OUR TOILET! Yes, could not believe we couldn't use our toilet!!! The toilet handle broke and they did not have any repair parts. So they gave us a key that we had to go down our hallway, up a flight of stairs to a different room just to use the bathroom. 4) In the morning, you get complimentary breakfast. The dining area was literally 10 feet from our back patio door. They only have a small outside seating area, the rest you have to sit inside in a very unattractive space. So we asked if we could sit on our patio with the breakfast. We said "we can order in the dining area and just take our food and sit outside 10 feet away". We were told this: "We do not make special exceptions for our guests." You can't do that." Wow.. Never in all of my stays, anywhere, have I been told that. So then we said OK, we will sit in the dining room and get our food "to go "thinking we'll just walk the 10 feet to our patio and eat it. He said we couldn't do that either. We then said can we order the room service? We were told we're not able to do that either as you have to order room service by 7 PM the night before. So instead of waking up and having a wonderful breakfast overlooking the beautiful Vineyard we just checked out as early as we could. The final straw was the checkout process. Being in the customer service background it takes very little effort for somebody to simple ask "what can we do to make the situation better?" All that we would've asked is "can we just take some French toast, coffee and a glass of orange juice to our patio, 10 feet away?" If we would've had the opportunity to finish our stay in a place, with a beautiful view together, it would've made a world of difference. Instead she just charged our card, offered a bottle of wine which we politely refused and that was it. Just a very poor 1 night stay. read more

My wife and I find Churon to be our go to Winery in Temecula. The staff is fantastic and the wine selection is great. They have nice food selections on the weekend.

This is the third time we have stayed at this winery. This stay we felt the breakfast should have been better. The coffee is not good. It tastes like it came out of a large coffee urn. In this day and age, coffee should be the best you can get. We asked for toast in addition to the eggs Benedict and we're told it would be $2 extra. No problem. We got the single slice of toast that was the cheapest bread you can buy. One slice. The food was not good. It seemed a little stale. Our server Christopher was attentive though. The room was really nice but every time the AC turned off we heard a loud knocking noise for about 20 minutes. ‍ The views are beautiful and the room balcony is very private which is nice. read more

I got married at Churon Winery in February and my husband and I are so happy the decision we made to have our wedding here and overall experience with Churon. If you're looking for a wedding venue, PLEASE, look no further and book with Churon. Not only are the views stunning for photos, but the overall atmosphere and aesthetic look of the venue is stunning. Being a bride having communicative vendors and top tier service is so important (especially when you're paying so much $). The entire staff at Churon, especially Vanessa our coordinator, Enrique the head chef and hotel manager Robert, were amazing to work with. My coordinator Vanessa was so responsive, kind, professional, calm, knowledgeable and helpful in every step of the wedding planning process. Trust me, she is the one you want to have as your coordinator. Our chef, Enrique who prepared the buffet meal service for our guests did a phenomenal job. When we had our food tasting he was very friendly, thorough and professional In explaining and providing the meal options. We opted for the Sea Bass , Tri tip, scalloped potatoes, roasted veggies and spinach salad. Me being the bride and a few other guests who don't eat meat, Enrique was able to accommodate a vegetarian plate for us to ensure we eat. I've been to several weddings and special events were they were pricey but the food isn't the best. A lot of the wedding food I've had in several past events was served cold and or mediocre. I hate to say I wasn't expecting much from Churon, but to my surprise, the food quality was excellent! Several of my guests approached me all throughout the evening of my wedding and even afterwards, expressing their satisfaction with the food and the wine (we had open bar package). All of my guests enjoyed the meal and said it was the best wedding food they had. Hotel manager Robert, was very easy to talk to, and work with. Your guests get a small discount for booking and staying at the winery. Throughout this process I would work with Robert to ensure room assignments for my guests. He was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls and ensured everything went as smoothly as possible. Early morning the day after the wedding, my guests loved seeing the view of hot air balloons from their balcony rooms. The entire wedding was perfect. The staff was great, the venue is gorgeous, the service is subpar and the backdrop of the grand gazebo makes for gorgeous photos. My husband and I, loved that this isn't just a winery, but also a hotel. after an evening of celebrating, drinking wine and dancing, your guests can conveniently walk to their rooms. Overall great experience and I'd rate this 5/5. Everyone has expressed their opinion about our wedding and I can't even tell you how many times my fam and friends said this was the most perfect wedding and the best wedding they've been too! My husband jokingly said he wanted to have another wedding celebration at Churon because yes, it was that perfect! Thank you all for making our wedding flawless, perfect and fun! read more

We got the sweet flights and the red. Everyone is so nice here; we were talking about our bunny. The gals in the back are awesome. I love the NV RED ROYALE, it is a custom blend of 56 syrah, 27 cabernet sauvignon, and 17 tempranillo followed by soft tannins and layers of apples and cherry. The best in the sweet is the Mazing mango. It is fresh picked mangos with sweet flavors if mango and peaches. Make sure you tip the bartenders. read more

My favorite part about this winery is the grounds. The outside patio seating feels like a terrace in Italy. The view from the patio is gorgeous with spectacular photo opportunities especially if you're there at sunset. The staff at the bar downstairs were a little unfriendly, but we learned that there was a wedding going on so we figured maybe it was stress. The reds were a little bitter for my taste but I really enjoyed the white wines. The inn looks beautiful even though we only saw the outside and lobby because we weren't guests. It was so inviting that we're thinking about having a weekend staycation there! This winery seemed pretty quiet, so I would recommend a date day or if you're a larger party, starting your day here. Great for all group sizes really. read more

My friends and I bought a Groupon and it was well worth it. You get what you pay for so don't expect to get a lot. The views are beautiful, the drinks are good and the charcuterie is a must. We came to watch the sunset, but the staff did not end up turning on the porch lights and we were left in the dark. Which is why I knocked one star off because who doesn't turn on the exterior lights or check on their customers outdoors. read more

Update: They reached out to let me know they would be looking into this and would get back to me. They never followed up. I waited a moment before posting posting this on Yelp.. but they had over a month to figure out what went wrong. tldr: Use at your own risk for events or special occasions. Is fine for wine tasting though. --- This is a really nice location to visit. The tasting room is large and has plenty of space to sit and enjoy your wine. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the views of the vineyard are available from multiple rooms, from the dining hall, and from an upstairs area that is connected to the tasting room via a staircase. If you are looking for a place to go wine tasting, I recommend it. -- However, if you are looking to stay here for the night, and especially if this is for a special occasion - they are not reliable, they are disorganized, careless, and unprofessional. They need to get some processes in order before they can be relied for a stay. I booked a reservation for my wedding night weeks in advance. I called ahead to confirm the reservation (and this was successful, I spoke to a representative, and she told me the reservation was set). It seemed like everything was ready to go. On the night of the wedding, at 8:45 pm, Churon calls me for something, I am busy and do not pick up (it's my wedding night folks!) They do not leave a message, they don't text, they don't email. Shortly after 9pm I see that they have called.. I am alarmed at this, there should be no reason for a phone call. I call them multiple times over the next hour. I have to leave my wife and the reception to step outside and deal with this. I begin to research other places to stay for the night (during my reception, I was so upset). An hour goes by, we finally send the bride's maid to Churon to see if they have someone at the front desk. Mind you, our check in time is 11pm, and this was established over the phone with the rep. Also, their final check in time is 11:30pm. No one is at the front desk.. but there is a note for late check in, in involves calling a number so that someone can let you in. I call this number, and the lady now knows that we are coming. This procedure should have been made known to us when we made the reservation, or else emailed or communicated to us in some other fashion ahead of time. As we are driving over to Churon, the lady calls back to make sure we're coming.. we just talked 15 minutes ago, I don't appreciate this. The idea was to enjoy a quiet breakfast in the room the next day. The reception person explained that we could set this up during check in.. but this wasn't the case, this is only if you check in during their normal hours. And again, we discussed over the phone that we'd be checking in late, so they easily could have anticipated that we need to ask for breakfast ahead of time (which I did, but the lady said that they couldn't put that in their system until check in (but apparently not late check in)). This was my experience with Churon. The room was not cheap, but the experience was. Churon - get it together. Your customer service and procedures needs to match your prices and the rest of your winery. Higher consultants to access your processes, fix them. Get your system up to date so that you can leave notes regarding quests. Communicate information ahead of time. If you call a guest, be available to receive a phone from them. You have my information, reach out with any questions. This was late October. read more

We got our complimentary glasses of wine for our stay from here, plus we did wine flights tastings two separate times during our stay, so we were able to try the red, white, and sweet flight. The Mazing Mango is a fabulous sweet wine! I also quite enjoyed their Cuvee and their Vin Rouge. The wine tasting area is located downstairs in a cute French decorated area. Only thing is, you have to walk back upstairs to get to the outdoor seating area. A little odd, but whatevs! Didn't get a chance to try their food because they apparently only serve food on weekends and we were staying during the week. They do have a little fridge with prepackaged charcuterie you can purchase from, but we opted out. read more

We went to Churon with a Groupon 2:1 tasting. We were greeted and helped right away. With 6 tastings each we shared in order to Taste more of the wines. The overall favorite was the Mango Sparkling wine. My boyfriend, new to wine tasting liked the wine so much he joined their wine club. One bonus if the club is that if you buy a whole case of wine at once you get a free night stay at their inn. He bought a case of wine and we will be returning to Temecula in two months to use our free night! The tasting room has tables and chairs to sit while tasting or you can stand at the bar. There is food for purchase. This was a good experience. I would visit again. read more

They have their favorite long-time club members and it shows. I attended the summer bash event they had recently and the ladies behind the bar were basically filling their favorite customer's cups up to the brim. Others had half empty cups such as myself. It should be the same amount for everyone since we are all paying the same amount for a membership. They also ran out of cups during the event so we had to run back to retrieve our old one. Better planning next time! Doreen is nice, she seemed very overwhelmed at times, which is understandable. She was short a few times when she was talking to people. The food was ok. Pulled BBQ chicken sandwich with cheese tortellini, Cole slaw and half of a half of corn on the cob. For dessert was an extremely sweet key lime Tart (im not sure) which had a weird stringy texture. Everything was sweet on my plate I think I have diabetes now. The people at our table made up for everything and I will attend another event, I just won't have too high of a standard. read more
