    Winemaker's Pasta
    Alexander C.

    Came here for lunch prior to a wine tasting tour for our friend's birthday. The restaurant offers beautiful views overlooking the vineyard and is spacious with tables of various sizes to accommodate parties or groups of various sizes. Among the dishes our party of 8 ordered included the mushroom risotto with chicken, the BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato) sandwich, Ray's burger, and the Winemaker's pasta. The food was cooked nicely and our group finished everything! Great restaurant and vibe! Definitely worth a visit!

    Steak sandwich, burger, Italian sandwich, and BLATT sandwich. Everyone love their food.

    We came to Falkner Winery for the first time today to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends. Highlight of our day was a VIP wine tasting on the patio with Halee. She spent over two hours with us. We tasted lots of wonderful wine and her wealth of knowledge is absolutely incredible. She has the most amazing personality and by the end of the tasting we felt like friends. We learned a lot had a nice relaxing time. She then took us on a little tour to see where the wine is produced and finished with a glass of port on the patio. All four of us decided to become wine members because of Halee. We are looking forward to our next visit. We started off in the restaurant for lunch and had a fabulous meal restaurant is very luxurious but the menu prices are very affordable and lots of midweek specials. Will definitely be coming back.

    First time at this winery and I loved it. The views were gorgeous and they have an awesome back and side patio. Lots of room on the lawn as well. Inside the tasting area there were small trinkets and towels along with winery merch. Staff was attentive and they had a wode selection of wines. Prices were good and we left with a few bottles for home. I will definitely be coming back here again.

    Worst pours ever $50 for an ounce for tasting is ridiculous the taste of the wine is nothing to brag about either better off buying a glass of wine which is less than $50 Go to Bella Vista excellent pours and delicious wines.

    Cute little photo op spot.

    I came on a wine tour and I'm so happy this was the first stop. It really set the tone for the whole day. I thought that summer in Temecula was going to be too warm but thanks to their shaded area, sitting outside was very refreshing. They had a lovely band and really good food. Thank you so much to Akayla who was beyond gorgeous inside and out and extremely helpful. Certainly could see myself spending a whole afternoon here with the amazing wine selection and perfect atmosphere.

    We worked with Raymond to plan my wife's intimate 45th outdoor birthday celebration, and I can honestly say everything came together perfectly. The food from Pinnacle Restaurant was excellent, the tables were set up beautifully, and the views made the whole experience even more special. The staff did an amazing job hosting and made sure everyone felt taken care of throughout the entire event. The DJ was a huge hit--great music, great energy, and everyone was up dancing. From start to finish, it was great food, great vibes, and top-level service. I truly couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate her 45th. Highly recommend.

    Steve was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was so easy to speak to. It enhanced our experience and we will be back because of him!

    The definition of personable, warm, inviting, and welcoming service is absolutely Falkner Winery. I cannot wait to come back to this location and experience everything it has to offer soon again. I previously had found this winery just searching the web for a wine tasting experience to plan for my birthday. I went through with booking a reservation for 8 of us, shoutout to Raymond, for really just trying to make my idea of how my birthday wanted to go, come to life. We were in touch through email, and he was on top of it! Unfortunately, I was forced to cancel my reservation, but I knew in my heart that I still wanted to visit Falkner as part of my birthday experience and I did just that. Perched on top of a mountain, with the absolute best views. Plenty of free parking spots available. Walking into the winery, beautiful layout, the inside has a beautiful bar area available for tastings, and a big outside patio for a covered outdoor seating with high tables and stools along with lower seating options. They also have a beautiful grassy area that is available to host weddings, there was a wedding reception the day we were there. Upon walking inside, we were warmly greeted by Jim. He was an absolute pleasure. He really made my birthday weekend truly special, and I wish I had just spent my entire wine tasting experience at Falkner instead of the first location I went to. We walked in around 4:00pm barely making it in time for a tasting before they close at 5, and Jim did not turn us away! He carefully explained the wine tasting experience, he gave us more than a few options to sample before we ended up choosing to buy a bottle. He gave us a logical option of buying a bottle vs doing a regular tasting so we had enough time to enjoy ourselves at the winery while still taking in the experience. Because of the wedding that was taking place, they had platters of cheese & crackers, and a platter of berries, Jim did not hesitate and pulled the platters infront of us, offering us plates & napkins to create personal platters for us for free and enjoy them with our bottle out on the patio. With only barely just 45 minutes of a tasting experience, he went above & beyond to land a great impression on us. The views were beautiful, the experience was great, and the hospitality was unmatched. We truly enjoyed our experience here. Even though it was short lived, it left a long lasting memory and impression on us and we can't wait to be back. We came home with a wonderful bottle of wine and reminiscing on our visit.

    I was recently at a wedding where Victoria was the wedding coordinator. She was the sweetest person I have ever come across. She was attentive, helpful and always made sure everyone had what they needed. The food was amazing as well. The beef was delicious! The venue itself is gorgeous. Even with the weather being incredibly hot, it was beautiful and the trees casting shadows kept us cool. Thank you for providing a beautiful spot for Jovanna and Leyton to get married!

    This was a very peaceful experience. We came here as our second stop and decided to share a flight. They are very modern feeling with tables outside overlooking the vineyards. The service was ok and the wine was good. We came on a Sunday so it was pretty empty which made it a very peaceful experience.

    Ask the Community - Falkner Winery

    Are kids allowed?

    Hi Andrea! YES! Kids are always allowed :)

    Are you allowed to bring outside food in?

    We do not allowed outside food at this time. We have a restaurant onsite and sometimes a food truck on the weekends.

    Is the restaurant dog friendly?

    Falkner Winery's tasting room and outdoor grounds are very dog friendly. However, the Pinnacle restaurant does not allow dogs.

    Can visitors walk around the vineyard?

    I do not believe so. They are overlooked and all dirt. The horse and carriage I took went thru the vineyard but that was on approve of the owners for that special day

    Is there indoor dining?

    Yes. At The Pinnacle Restaurant.

The seating is first come first serve so you might have to wait for a table but usually something opened pretty quickly. The drinks were tasty and the service was good.

Nothing spectacular, or memorable. Just good food that you wont complain about. A dinner for 2 with a few drinks will set you back ~$200.

One of the biggest appeals is its peace, quiet, and the open back patio that overlooks acres and acres of vineyards. The room itself was spacious with a huge king-sized bed. The bathroom was also big with both a tub and shower. Other amenities included a pool, a restaurant on-site, and complimentary shuttles to other wineries in the area. They also offer hot air balloon and spa packages. The only thing was that the fridge was not that cold so our water and food weren't very cold overnight. The tasting room is on-site closer to the front of the property and when staying at the resort you get $5 off their wine tasting ($30 for 5). We came here after we checked out of our room and our favorite was the cuvée prestige. This place is very peaceful and secluded which makes for the perfect weekend getaway.

I did not get my food until 7:05pm. Two employees were running the food truck and only one was working on the orders. By the time my food was handed to me it was past the time to go. Post ordering I was given a buzzer and was told to stay near because if it went off and I wasn't close it might not buzz. All of my friends were in the member area of the winery so I opted to stay near the food truck. I did ask about my order, I asked for it to just be cancelled but was told that it was being worked on; one hour later I finally received the smallest most bare carne asada nachos and a small quesadilla.
