Serenity is the best waitress ever, she definitely lives up to her name and has the BEST recommendations. She gave us the perfect ponzu side sauce for the seared ahi dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Literally what a vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our family had an amazing experience at Leoness Cellars! We were visiting from Florida, and for many of us, this was our first winery, vineyard, and wine tasting experience. I accidentally mixed up our reservation time, and although we arrived late, the team was incredibly accommodating and still gave us a wonderful hosted tasting. We truly appreciated their kindness and flexibility. Our host, Evan, was outstanding! He was personable, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He answered all of our questions, shared fascinating insights about the wines, vineyard, and winemaking process, and made the experience both fun and memorable. We had matching family trip shirts with a checklist of activities for our California vacation, and we asked Evan if he'd help us check off our winery experience. Without hesitation, he grabbed a marker and joined in, making the moment even more special for our family. Thank you, Evan, and the entire Leoness team, for making our first wine tasting experience one we'll never forget. We highly recommend Leoness Cellars and hope to visit again on a future trip to Temecula! read more

Recently, I went to Leoness Cellars for the second time. My friend, who is a member, organized a small luncheon with six wine-loving women for her birthday. Leoness is really beautiful. The members lunch area overlooks the hills and vineyards. They have an adorable tasting room and gift shop. It is also dog friendly. I even saw dogs in the indoor restaurant. I really enjoyed the wines. Last time, we tasted several reds, and I remember really enjoying the zinfandel. This time, our group shared a few bottles of Syrah. The Syrah was dry, yet had lots of flavor. I really liked that they allowed my friend to use her membership tastings so us ladies could drink free glasses at lunch. She also was able to use her membership bottles so that we could drink at lunch without a corkage fee. The service was great, and our server checked on us regularly, with guests arriving at different times. I enjoyed my wild mushroom flatbread and salad. Along with the wine, it made for a perfect lunch. I definitely recommend Leoness if you are planning to visit Temecula. read more

4.25. Would love to rate my experience 5 but the waitstaff was very slow. The food was delicious and we enjoyed our meal very much! But we constantly had to look for our waiter to ask for menus, dessert, to pay. I had the cioppino which was delicious and the truffle fries, also very tasty! The location is gorgeous and I even became a member! I'm hoping the next time the wait is much more reasonable. read more

Wow... I can't believe it's been 10 years since my last review, sorry Leoness and staff. Well, what I can say for sure is that it continues to be a great place to visit. Each time we've come, we've had such a wonderful time. The food is always delicious and their variety of wines are superb. We recently came and brought new friends and they loved it. I understand that a larger group can be a bit overwhelming for the servers so we always try to commend them and thank them for their patience. This time it was Luke and like all Leoness staff, he was attentive, patient and knowledgeable. We asked him about his favorite wines and his recommendations were great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wineries always have such a relaxing ambiance and beautiful atmosphere. Leoness is no exception and actually an exemplary winery when it comes to customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always look forward to coming back! read more

My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway in Temecula, and one of our favorite stops ended up being Leoness Winery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we arrived, it just felt like one of those places you want to slow down and soak in. It was a bright, sunny day, and the views of the vineyards were absolutely beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We decided to dine inside at their restaurant, and it honestly felt like a fine dining experience without being overly formal or stuffy. The atmosphere was elegant but still relaxed, and everything was really well organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were attentive but never hovering. For food, I had the wild mushroom risotto, which was rich and comforting, and we also shared hummus and the Urgosa Farms spinach quail. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and pairing it all with their wine just made the experience even better. Overall, it was such a memorable stop during our trip. Great food, beautiful setting, and genuinely good service. Definitely a place I'd come back to again. It is definitely Yelp worthy read more

ALways amazing service from Sara. Love their bacon parm fries ad mushroom pizza. Amazing! I only get their two sweet wines. Both are amazing. Love the views here. Ambiance is eveything. My friend is a member and we love the premium seating we get. The grounds are awesome, however, the restrooms this time were disgraceful. The mats were flooded with water, they put silicone air fresheners over the drains and it reeked of garbage and sewer inside! I almost threw up! I let the front desk know that they need to tend to that situaton. Luckily, as afraid as I was to use the bathroom before we left, the restroom smelled clean, although the mats were still soaked. Overall, they fixed the issue. This place is still one of my favorite places to visit. Great food and service. read more

Stayed for lunch after our wine tasting. Wines tasted great and lunch could have had more flavor for the prices. The service was fast and friendly however getting seated took awhile. One host walking people to the tables and we were all standing in line waiting for her to return for each party. She could have used some help on a busy Sunday afternoon. read more

My favorite winery in Temecula. The vibe is beautiful and food at restaurant is good! We came here twice the past weekend. Parking is tough in the weekend so recommend coming in weekday or early weekend. The first time we came we sat at the restaurant and ordered glasses of wine salad and duck fat liver dip. Both dishes were delicious and the Syrah was my favorite wine. For the tasting, they offer 5 one oz glass for $30. We loved the Zinfandel and the cab! On weekdays the member only Terrance is available foe nonmembers so we sat there for lunch on a Monday. The food is better at restaurants but the duck fat fries were delicious! Overall a beautiful winery with tasty wine and good restaurants food. Would love to come back here again during dinner! read more

Still consistently good. Last time I went we ended up waiting for a really long time to get seated, some days the staff is faster than others. The service when we were seated was much better. The food is usually pretty good but the fries last time were soggier than usual, they normally are very crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is lovely with nice views and a peaceful waterfall going through the seating area and sometimes there's live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have a timeshare in Napa and have been to many wineries. This is local to me and one of the best I have ever been to. The food is very very good for the price. The wines are also very good. My favorites are the red blends. The port is expensive, but very good. I would prefer a sweeter port, but it is very well crafted. Our whole family of 12 people love this place and are members. My daughter took me here for a day out. I am in a wheelchair and they made every accommodation. They were so kind. She is a violinist and orchestra conductor/teacher and has played there, I believe. Anyway I saw a beaded purse that she loved in the gift shop. Lisa and the rest of the staff moved heaven and earth to make sure I could purchase it surreptitiously for her. Absolutely amazing service. BTW, the gift shop alone is worth a trip, just saying. read more

My family's favorite winery! Beautiful scenery, quality wines, delicious food, and very accommodating service. We always have such a fun time here and can spend a whole day laughing, soaking in the ambiance and enjoying each other's company. We try to make a trip here any time we visit, and my family are members so it's nice that we get free tastings and they get wine to take home that we can try more of. The seating is always full but it never feels too busy or crowded. Valet parking is available or there is also self-parking on the gravel lot in the back. Definitely recommend visiting, enjoy! read more

From the moment we arrived, this winery exceeded every expectation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor patio garden setting is absolutely stunning the kind of place that makes you want to linger all afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We visited as a group myself and my boyfriend along with his nephew, his wife, and their son and it was the perfect setting for a family outing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space had a relaxed, welcoming vibe that made everyone feel right at home, from the adults enjoying the wine tasting to the little one along for the fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Fabio was a true highlight of the visit. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable whether recommending wines or walking us through the pairings, he made the whole experience feel personal and special. We started with a beautiful charcuterie board, loaded with cheeses, grapes, olives, crackers, and more the perfect way to kick off the tasting. Each of us then ordered a different entrée, and every dish was delicious. The wine tasting experience itself was wonderful, a great way to explore what the winery has to offer. If you're looking for a place that combines great food, exceptional wine, and a gorgeous atmosphere with great company, look no further. We'll absolutely be back! read more

Started morning here with friends from finger lakes region of NY whom enjoy wine tasting. This place was a hit with the views straight away. We were there at 11 and they weren't ready for us to have a tasting for another 40 minutes but they were very friendly and there was a shop and of course lovely venue. We had our tasting outside at the table and Serenity was lovely and served excellent red wines and an order of hummus which was delish. The only downside was my friends liked it so much nothing else compared! It was easy to get to and I will definitely return on my own again. Friends took home a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. read more

And they have a good selection of both red and white wines. When you are a member you have your perks for sure. Make sure to call ahead to make sure seating is available. read more

Did a wine tasting. PJ was very knowledgeable and recommended great wines. Tasting room is a bit smaller but still enjoyable. We saw a charcuterie board ordered and it looked sad, with basic cheese and crackers. I'd recommend either eating first or being prepared to pay for more items.

Oh my God, everything went well! The food was so on point and delicious, I love their chef! The wine is spectacular! And it's so good. I joined the winery again while I was here.! Our white person was Brianna and she gave us excellent service and was such a nice and personable gal.! I highly recommend this place and I belong to here for over 10 years and I quit here during the pandemic and now I'm rejoining because that's how good it is! You also get 10% off in the restaurant and the gift shop and you also get a percentage off on your wines depend read more

My friend Amy K bought a bunch of bottles here for the holidays and added me to her membership. I hadn't been here in a while and my husband and I came in for some tastings on a nice summery spring day. Unfortunately, we didn't have a great experience as the person pouring our wines that day was cold, judgmental and in short - just rude. We tried to take the polite route and kill her with kindness, but there was no thawing that icy exterior. She was extremely picky about the order we chose wines, didn't want to hear criticisms and treated us poorly. She made a face when I poured out their dry rose which I mentioned had a sour taste. We attempted to lighten it up and talked about traveling to South America and the wines they have there she just said, we don't have those at Leoness since only grow wines that grow well here! Okay, that ended our efforts of making any small talk. We were having a dinner party and wanted to pick up a few reds, but ended up leaving with 1. Picked up the other bottles at Danza on our way home. I also reached out to the winery on my own regarding my negative experience, but no one followed up. I will say that I have been here and had good experiences with other staff in their tasting room, so this experience could have been an anomaly. Also, as mentioned previously we had an outstanding tour with Holly which made us return to Leoness later. However, there are dozens of options in Temecula! I don't need to come back to this winery. I have visited other Temecula vineyards and they have all treated their guests and members well. read more

We have enjoyed the delicious wines here at Leoness Cellars many many times. However., This was our first dining experience in the restaurant . 10 out of 10 , first off the service is amazing. We were in the tasting room and picked up a bottle of the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc Terrace block ... absolutely out of this world! The food is absolutely delicious so fresh. I enjoyed the Chilean Seabass with pesto and white asparagus. Of course you have to start the meal off with their Gorgonzola hand, cut fries . " game changer." We loved the music. It's so cozy in this restaurant that we all shared a sweet treat the bread pudding, which came highly recommended and absolutely did not disappoint any of us. This is our new go to restaurant when we're in Temecula . read more

As a member of Leoness Cellars Winery I have had multiple lunch visits during the week and on weekends. All the experiences have been great! This great experience has encouraged me to invite family and friends. This experience has been due to the delicious wine we've had specifically the Syrah and the red Cabernet which our my favorites. As for the food items we have had the opportunity to enjoy the various salads and entrees. The entrees that really impressed us on the menu items are the charcuterie board salmon entree ahi tuna Chimichurri steak dish shrimp scampi linguine and the accompanied sides like the brussels sprouts absolutely delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now the Ambiance with live entertainment combined with the surrounding beautiful vineyards absolutely breathtaking![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All that I have mentioned has been great but the main reason I am going to give an overall five star is the bedside manner of our wonderful waitress Serenity She is aside of being absolutely friendly and welcoming but her efficiency with all our food and personal attentiveness I rank her 10 out of 10! I come back and hope to have her as a waitress definitely consider her an outstanding contribution to the Leoness Cellars Winery staff!

Leoness is located on the DePortola wine trail and offers fabulous views, excellent food and good wine. However, let's get this out of the way first: parking here is a pain. Note: unless you're a Platinum Member, don't make the rookie mistake of pulling into the main entrance lot - it's only for Platinum (unless you're willing to pay $40 as non-Platinum or need to because of handicap access) and you'll be directed up the road to the dirt lot where you'll wish you hadn't worn nice shoes or white pants! It's dusty, full of gravel with no spaces indicated, and terrible to park and walk through to get to the winery or the restaurant! It's hard to believe that a winery of this caliber has a dirt parking lot! All that said, the tasting room itself is beautiful, wines are good (esp liked the 2020 Cinsault), and I enjoy their gift shop area. The restaurant is only open on weekends but there is a nice terrace menu from which you can order and enjoy on the patio/terrace area. The food is delicious - highly recommend the incredible fries which are made with duck fat and the DePortola Power Salad is excellent also. The Members Terrace is open to non-members Mon-Thurs., but only members on weekends. They recommend reservations and when we were members awhile back, it was annoying that they required everyone in your party to be there before they would seat you on the members terrace. So once you get past the parking, Leoness is a great winery and definitely worth the visit. read more

We had the BEST dining experience at Leoness with a rehearsal party of 20. Leoness had a print out and seating card for each guest who chose their entree and dessert prior-very elegant. We ordered shareable appetizers (all were delicious !) and truffle fries (major yummy!) and champagne to celebrate the occasion. Garden salads were chosen for all. Entrees selected prior were Salmon, chicken, mushroom risotto or steak. Everything could not have been more delicious, excellent service in a beautiful setting at the winery. Robert was so easy to work with and gave us a memorable dining experience. I have had nothing but compliments from my guests and am so so happy we chose Leoness to celebrate this happy occasion! I would use Leoness again for any happy occasion. read more
