    My birthday was this past Sunday. I wanted to try a new winery in Temecula that I've never been to before. I stumbled on Julie's Dream Winery. The moment we (my husband, daughter, sister, bro in law and mom) walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile! The service here was tremendous! It's been a loooong time where I walk into a business and actually feel like a valued customer! I felt that here. Super cute winery, not too crowded, amazing people and enjoyed live music out front! I will definitely be back soon and will probably join their wine club! This place rocks!! P.s. shout out to Angie who was literally the sweetest person I've ever met in Wine country!! Come here! You won't regret it!

    Our first time here and it was great 7/5/26. Linda was so sweet and the live music outside was the best. All the wines tasted great including the sangria. We can't wait for all the expansion and are talking about being members. Will return soon!

    A wonderful addition to the temecula wineries, Julie's dream winery is boutique enough on the interior while the patio exterior can be enjoyed with live music on weekends. We recently made it here while on the barrel tasting past Sunday. Always happy to see new wineries pop up. I'm sure it was years in the making but this was the first time I had noticed it. Tried their 21 cab franc it was fabulous. But their blanc de blanc sparkling was one of the best whites I've had on that trip. Do give that a taste the next time you're there. Service here was excellent, I do like it that it's not as crowded. But I am happy to get the word out about this place to park yourself and enjoy some wine here. Just hopefully not everyone comes on the same day :)

    Had a wonderful time here. The winery is very cute and a great place to bring a lunch. I tried mostly reds here and all of them were delicious. I especially liked the petite syrah. I bought the muscat for my daughter because it was exactly what she likes. I also got the cutest sweatshirt here. I love the logo! Trisha was a wonderful host and shared a lot of information about the area with us. If you are in the area make sure to stop here.

    Such a great winery!!! So airy and relaxing I almost feel like I am in Greece. Their wines are spectacular! My favorite is the Vermintio. So refreshing a must try, they also have great live music.

    We stopped by Julie's Dream Winery this past Sunday for the first time. We were actually going to go to our usual winery, but it closed at 5:00 pm and this winery was right up the road from it. We were greeted by a friendly employee named Dillon. We informed him that it was our first time there and that we were just looking to have a glass of wine each. He asked what our preferences were and even gave us a little taste before we committed to a full glass. My husband had the Cab and really enjoyed it. I opted for a glass of their Chardonnay and loved it! I knew it was going to be good just from the delicious aroma. It was a nice evening so we sat in the patio and enjoyed the live music. There weren't too many people there, but there was plenty of seating to accommodate more of a crowd. Inside, there was a little charcuterie cart, and they also have a fridge with beer and soda. The winery is smaller than some of the others , with a laid-back, Baja-style vibe to it. We enjoyed our wine so much that we are looking forward to returning soon and becoming members!

    angela is the best, very accommodating and very knowledgeable when it comes to wine and suggestions. love her vibe!! she knows exactly how to advise for someone's pallet. she is my girl!! ask for angela! #giveheraraise

    I guess it's time to update my review! We joined as wine club members as soon as they opened (#2 wine club member!) and we have been enjoying their wines and member perks since! Here are some of the reasons to love Julie's Dream. 1) You can't go wrong with the wines here. The reason for that statement is: Marshall Stewart is the wine maker. Whites, red, light or bold, you pick the ones that best suits your palette and you won't be disappointed. 2) Great hospitality and service! Owner Julie and husband Doug are often at the winery and show up at all wine club events. Debbie, Angie and Trish are the best. It's nice to be on a first name basis with everyone! 3) A great place to hang out. We often see many locals and the same friendly faces here. 4) Fun club parties, and they just keep getting better and better. 5) Dog friendly In addition to the inside tasting area, there is large outdoor patio seating in front and back that is good for a large crowd. Bring your own snacks or picnic lunch if you like. They have some snacks, but no cafe or restaurant on site. Set above the tasting room is their Vineyard House. We have had fabulous club parties here. Recently they held an open house allowing members to get a glimpse of all that this property has to offer. It's beautiful! They just introduced a sparkling and soon to be opened is their distillery. Julie's Dream has many more big dreams and transformations for the future. I can't wait to see what's next.

    Having just learned of Julie's, we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and were warmly greeted by staff and patrons alike, oh so cool A/C on a hot day and beautiful music by acoustic guitarist Michael LeClerc. It was a great day before having even had a sip of wine! Our server Angie was fun and knowledgeable as she led us through their wines, taking our taste preferences into account. I especially loved the 2020 Chardonnay and the 2016 Petite Syrah. Angie introduced us to other patrons, coworker Tricia, as well as owner Julie and her husband (and their distiller) Doug who happened to be on site. Someone even brought us comfy stool seating at the bar area! From our one visit (which btw lasted until closing!), here are some important things to know and love about Julie's: - there have lovely sun-drenched patio areas in the front and back. - they are pet and kid-friendly. - they offer goldfish crackers as a palate cleanser and M&Ms to enhance the flavor of some of the reds. - you can bring outside food in, which I love as an option. - the wine club has great perks and you can swap out wines at pickups. - they have 25 acres of estate vineyards, most replanted as part of the transformation from what this site used to be as Alex's Red Barn Winery. A hundred of the oldest grape vines were saved, including some varietals no longer grown in Temecula Valley. - they have a Vineyard house, suites and cottages for which wine club members get a discount. We are so happy to have discovered this gem of a boutique winery and distillery on Calle Contento off Rancho California Road. It hasn't been officially open for too long (since April 2023 I believe), yet there was a nice crowd there and numbers will no doubt grow as word spreads! This place is the winery version of "Cheers" where everyone knows your name. Thank you Angie and Tricia, for a memorable first visit. We look forward to many more!

    At this current date of writing, Julie's Dream is not officially open. You can call and make an appointment for when they're available. We stopped in and was able to sample some reds. Nice and bold and I enjoyed the Zinfandel the most. They have some nice patios built out and ready. Bathrooms are in and functional. Parking lot is still dirt but plans are to pave it once the rain stops and it dry up. They are dog friendly and allow well behaved dogs. Looking Forward to enjoying this new found gem!

    Julie's Dream winery was very accommodating to a reservation for 9 women celebrating. We were seated outside and had excellent service. The location is fairly new and they had to change their name due to a trademark issue. The wine is not outstanding but tasting it was fun. The outside patio is kind of gritty and the inside tasting room was loud and busy with brisk business. I expect this location to become a fun destination as it gains experience.

    Debbie is awesome! Great wines

    Juiie's is Open!! Yay!!! They are open 12 to 5 :30 pm daily! They have a nice selection of both red and whites. I loved the Chardonnay and all the whites. My husband enjoyed the petite sirah. It is so pleasant in the tasting room. Debbie and Tricia, managers, and Karrie, the wine club director, are awesome. I highly recommend as they are dog friendly and you can bring in some snacks to go with their wines. We joined the wine club. The also give nice pours on the tastings, and some gold fish crackers. Just had a great visit. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely loved our visit to Miramonte Winery! The food is exceptional. My absolute favorite is…read morethe Queso Oaxaca & Salami Flatbread with honey. The combination of salty and sweet is perfect, with so much flavor in every bite. Definitely a must-try! The wine is wonderful as well, and Opulente is one of my favorites. Great service, beautiful atmosphere, and I love that they offer different events throughout the weekends, which makes every visit feel a little different. Great wine, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a Temecula wine country favorite!

    First and foremost, I will NEVER be visiting this winery EVER again. To anyone that reads this…read morereview, YOU ARE WARNED you will be subjected to the worst experience and customer service that you will probably have to ever endure. My Wife and I are appalled over what happened. To the Business Owner, Cane V., you need to train your employees, the faces of YOUR everyday business, to be more EMOTIONALLY INTUITIVE and PROFESSIONAL and have GENERAL MATURITY. Where do I start? If you are looking for a winery that has an unprofessional, rowdy brewery atmosphere that attracts Entitled Stank Faced Boomer Temecula Wine Moms and their Snobby Little Cliques LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Our Experience: my Wife and I came over to sample some wines from this winery that was recommended from a friend. On the Winery Website, you can do 2 different types of wine tastings: Classic Tastings of 6 wines of your choice or a Private Wine Tasting of 8 different ones for a higher price. This is what initially attracted my Wife and I to this winery in the first place (big mistake on our end). Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that wine tasting is no longer being offered at all. The incompetent red haired bartender at the front entrance provided us with no other alternative other than "Yea we don't offer that anymore, you can do by the glass or by the bottle." Her tone changed completely when I asked her about the Club they advertise everywhere. She then tells us that they are booked for the day, however the BAR and LAWN area are open seating, after 8PM everything is open seating. It was 6:30/7PM so we decided by that point, we'll wait for a spot to open up and enjoy some wine then in the meantime. We figured, it's just the 2 of us so we should have luck finding a spot. At the bar area, I noticed that 3 seats were left unattended. The people there got up and left, no drinks were left behind or any "Reservation" placards were placed to notify people. I walk over, sit down and wave to my Wife to come and sit at the bar area. We sat down, sipped some of our wine for 10-15 minutes. Bar had 2 people working, a gentleman and heavier set Blonde lady. Both of them never said anything and nothing was ever exchanged between us and the heavier set Blond lady. I was even thinking about buying a beer or cocktail and thankfully I didn't. Shortly after this time, an EXTREMELY RUDE, ENTITLED, and VISIBLY DRUNK lady and her husband RUDLY went in between my Wife and I and COMMANDED we leave her spots. My Wife and I laughed at her and were genuinely confused because the BAR IS OPEN SEATING, THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS FOR OPEN SEATING. She then gets even more angry and DEMANDS we leave or else, says to my Wife and I "YOU're GOING TO LEAVE NOW," I tell the lady to kick rocks, it's open seating then she enters the bar area to talk to the heavier set Blond bar tender that we wont move. The Blond bar tender THEN has the AUDACITY to tell us "They have been sitting here all night, YOU TWO need to leave immediately." My Wife and I look at each other and absolutely laugh it off at the sheer absurdity of everyone's tone towards us. Who do you think you are to blatantly kick us out ON OPEN SEATING? Either you are severely undertrained from the Owner or you as a staff member play favorites with other entitled customers. Both of which are absolutely absurd. Upon this interaction, my Wife and I leave and go right down the street to Europa Winery and sampled several wines and had a $250 dinner at Bolero. Here, the experience was a complete 180° and we should've never wasted our time at Miramonte Winery being subjected to the nastiness from the Temecula Trash. If you are a large party, or wanting to host private events, I STRONGLY recommend ANYWHERE else besides Miramonte Winery. The Staff here is atrocious, rude, immature and ugly. I pride myself in never leaving nasty reviews but this experience changed everything moving forward.

    GENERALLY OPEN LATER - MUST GO ON A SUNDAY EVENING!…read more I do not frequent Temecula very often. I've only been here a few times. Visiting wineries is a fun way to spend a Sunday in Temecula, yet the only down side is that the majority of wineries close at 5pm. The Peltzer, however, is open a bit later and usually till 7pm. I have a very nice time here. The two wines I tried here were very good. The service was friendly and welcoming. I happened to love the vibe and decor here a bit more as it was not all restaurant orientated. It felt more like a family friendly brewery where you can bring a board game and sip some wine and enjoy your time with friends. I would definitely come back to the Peltzer!

    The ambience and service at the bar and in the winery itself is good, even though it gets very busy…read morethe service is still great and it's a great place to sit around and catch up with friends while sipping wine. 5/17/26 Food: I arrived at 5:30pm, sat with friends for 20 minutes I then went to get food. I was told by a staff member that the only food was out of the food truck in front of the building. I ordered nachos and a quesadilla, the waited for 1 hour to get my food, I had ordered by 6pm. 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.
