Excellent wines and an amazing experience every time. I've tried mostly reds, and the quality is consistently outstanding--rich, well-crafted, and full of character. The atmosphere is fun, relaxing, and welcoming, making it a perfect place to unwind. The owners truly make this place special--they greet you with a smile, engage in meaningful conversation, and share the story behind each wine, which adds a personal and memorable touch. Every bottle feels like a celebration of life, love, and success. My favorite so far is the McKlein - Promise Keeper. Absolutely love this place! read more

Jesse was amazing and a perfect example of what great customer service looks like. From the warm introduction and the story behind the family's winery to the thoughtful details throughout the tasting, everything felt intentional. He remembered and used our names, asked about our preferences, and curated our flights based on what we liked. Even small touches, like placing the glassware so the labels always faced us when poured, showed how much care he puts into the experience. The tasting room itself was comfortable, beautifully decorated, with cozy seating and just the right level of background volume to enjoy conversation and the wines. The wines were stunning, full of complexity and flavor. Highly recommended. read more

La Fata Cellars - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Temecula, California

La Fata is a nice option for wine tasting while in Old Town Temecula. They have a good selection of white and red wines to choose from. Their wines are a bit pricey. Best deal is to go on Wednesday when they offer $10 a glasses. Then stay a while for Karaoke which starts at 5pm. It's a good time! The tasting room is smallish, through easily accommodated our group of about 20 people. It's comfortable with different seating options to choose from. Relax on a couch, choose a high table, or sit at the bar. They have some snacks to buy there, or bring your own munchies. Meredith was our awesome server on the Wednesday we went with our big group. Yes, I recommend La Fata! read more

Great wine, especially if you like reds. Ambiance is nice and service is excellent. I would say it's the best wine in Temecula.

Our women's wine group enjoyed a special seated tasting at beautiful La Fata Cellars in Old Town on a recent Friday late morning. It was my first visit to this wine bar and I loved the warm, welcoming ambiance with its chic decor and an amazing selection of wines to match. Vito LaFata regaled us with the stories behind the wines and som Manu educated us with some tasting tips. I enjoyed all five of the wines tasted, with the 2021 Wealth of Connection (blend of Cab Franc, Cab Sauv & Barbera) being my fav. This will be a great spot to visit with friends and I look forward to coming back! read more

As me and my friends were walking around Old Town Temecula, we were just seeing what was around and stumbled upon this place. Probably the best thing we did. Live Music was playing and we grabbed a couch section to sit. Jesse, the Wine ambassador, served us and boy did he serve. He made our experience one to remember. He spent the time to get to know our palates and as we did a tasting, he built upon out taste, serving what he knew we would enjoy. He brought the history of the wines, and the humor as well. He knows his stuff. Jesse gave us a experience that we felt was one that only you can get at some exclusive event. I recommend coming here. Wines are good. Service is great. Small area that has alot of history and space for memories. Def coming again soon. read more

Wandered by on my way to dinner so I decided to stop in and met Jesse. Breath of fresh air....fun, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He asked ?s to try to understand my palette so he could recommend something I'd like since I didn't have time to do a tasting. He was spot on! Loved!!! And bought a bottle to take home! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back read more

Jesse was fantastic! He gave us a very personalized tasting experience, based on our wine preferences, and introduced us to things that were new and unique to us. Such a great time! read more

This was such a pleasant little surprise!! I walked in to get my pup out of the heat and have a glass of wine and chill out this hot March, and this place did not disappoint! Jesse did such an amazing job selecting wines for me to try. He was so great and explained everything so well. I will absolutely be back sooner rather than later. Thank you Jesse!!! read more

Jess is amazing and great at explaining every wine and the flavors. Very nice guys! We will be back.

Jesse was informative and a good storyteller. The wine was interesting and very tasty. I recommend this place

Jesse was amazing. He was incredibly friendly, hospitable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wines. His service was exceptional as well. I love the vibe here at this lounge. I highly recommend. read more

This was my first stop in Temecula. We were walking outside and the live entertainment drew me in. I decided to do a tasting and I'm so glad I did. I had a 5 tasting flight. I thought the price was very reasonable. $35 for 5 is a good deal. I really enjoyed the wine as well. I'm a Cab girl and I was very delighted with the Wealth of Connection and the Roots of life. I highly recommend this wine bar if you are ever out in Temecula. I have visited many wineries in Napa, and for being here for the first time, I truly enjoyed my tasting. The ambience was amazing and the hostess was pretty fantastic. I walked out happy. Great location. Check it out. read more

I'm definitely returning again soon to try more Fine wines. Came in Wednesday and had a tasty Cab. The place is very welcoming once you walk through the front door.

This was an incredible experience. My first true wine tasting and it could not have been better. Jesse was amazing. He was so great at picking out wine's for my mom and I. So great! read more

Had such a lovely experience at La Fata Cellars. The atmosphere is intimate, welcoming, and perfect for slowing down and actually enjoying your wine. Every pour felt thoughtfully crafted, and Jesse was genuinely kind and knowledgeable without being pretentious. It's the kind of place where you want to linger, talk, and savor the moment. A true hidden gem in Temecula will absolutely be back. read more

You need to stop by and visit with Jesse, best experience ever, I learned a lot of things about wine and my preferences that I never knew. Make sure you leave a nice tip read more

First and foremost, I have never been a wine lover. The only wine I do like is Moscato, lol. I stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon with my bestie to hear my friend spin for an hour or two. It was super chill, and the place was very nicely decorated. Bestie and I sat, drank, and caught up on life. Vito, the owner of LA Fata Cellars, was kind enough to let me taste one of the white wines (I told him I can't really hang with the reds)! Anna's Breath is tasty indeed. It has notes of apple, caramel, honeysuckle, and pear. I liked it a lot! I then tried a glass of the Awakened Joy, as Vito suggested when I told him my name. It's similar to Anna's Breath because of the pear and honeysuckle. It also boasts mango, apple, and lemon grass. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is sure to please your palate! I didn't have any trouble finding parking since I got lucky. Someone right in front of the establishment left, haha! There's always street parking in Old Town Temecula if you're willing to look for a spot. Otherwise, hit the parking garage about 3 blocks away. The pricing is average, and they do offer membership here. I like that this tasting room is small enough to explore/enJOY, unlike the big wineries out in Temecula Wine Country. The cozy, intimate setting is perfect if you're looking to have a nice glass of wine by yourself or with good company. I highly recommend La Fata Cellars if you want to keep it low-key, but still want to feel fancy and have some fine wine! They also have a small snack section if you need something to munch on as you wine away. Support this local small business and say hi to Vito for me =) read more

My fiancée and I stumbled upon the cutest, intimate wine tasting in old town Temecula. We were delighted to hear about the La Fata family's story and have the best bartender we've had, Jesse. Overall, 10/10 experience and was treated like family. read more

This business is amazing. The energy is great. Nice to have a glass of wine and tasting.

La Fata Cellars is THE reason to visit Temecula Old Town, and Jesse Cruz is THE reason to visit La Fata. He was charming and generous - generous with his pour, but better yet, generous with sharing his deep knowledge of wines. First he took time to get to know each of us and our individual taste preferences, then expanded our taste boundaries with carefully selected tastings that he tailored to each. If we occasionally had negative feedback, he immediately tossed that wine, kindly inquired what we did not like about it and poured a new glass. To his credit, he remembered all four of our names (and the dog's name) after our introductions! (And gave the dog water!) The ambience of La Fata is modern, warm and inviting, whether lounging on a sofa, settling into an arm chair, or seated at the bar. And the bathroom was spotless, an often overlooked measure of respect for their guests. The education about my own taste buds that I had never been able to articulate before was full value for the cost of the tasting! I will return. read more

Jessie is amazing! He is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy going! We were a party of 6 and he did a great job understanding our unique tastes! read more

When you walk in the location is quaint and warm feeling. The staff and owner were friendly. The red wines here are quite frankly better than most of the other wineries in Temecula. I will say they are very pricey though. Unless you are a member, most of the wines are $80 or more. read more

Cute little place...beautiful interior and decor, but it is the wine that makes it! The place itself is beautiful and romantic, a wonderful stop for my wife and I while up in Temecula. All that said there don't expect "two buck chuck" here -- the wine is tremendous, and that means the prices are reflective of the quality. This is the first time I have seen my wife enjoy a white wine, enough that we bought a bottle! The reds were certainly awesome as well. I am not enough of a wine guy to give you all the great rundown; I will just say our favorite white is the Pillars and Principles, and our favorite red was Freedom of Life, although we got the Path to Promise instead because we liked it a tiny bit less but it was 40% off :). If we were more local I could see this as an awesome regular place and a great move to be in the club--alas we are rare visitors. They also had great live music while we were there on a Saturday afternoon. They even have Karaoke on Wednesday nights and that is likely to bring us an hour up to Temecula and a night somewhere just for that! But perhaps the most enjoyable part was talking with Vito himself (the owner). He's a wonderful, gregarious soul and loves to tell the family stories, about the wines and otherwise. A tremendous and romantic time for my wife and I! read more

My girlfriends and I made a lovely unexpected stop at this "little gem" that's tucked away off 5th street between the Cuban Restaurant and Tea & Spice Shop! Vita & Anna were so humble & kind and full of delightful family stories that helped to create their now living DREAM! The very tasteful ambience setting of this boutique Cellar will bring you warmth & comfort from the moment you step in. You will experience wonderful wine tastings from the Santa Yanez to Temecula Valley of sparkling wines, (including Rose), to fruit forward Reds and nice delicate bouquets of Whites. Highly recommend a visit! Cheers! read more
