beautiful grounds, great wines, amazing service from the kindest people. food was yum. really lovely day here

I visited Leoness on a Sunday morning on my way out of Temecula. I didn't have a reservation but was able to do a tasting in their tasting room and ended up purchasing a few bottles to take home. I noticed they have a beautiful restaurant on site with both an indoor and outdoor patio option. I walked by and the food smelled amazing so I'll be sure to dine here next time! read more

This place just blew me away with the quality of their fries, the service going beyond 5 stars, and the views being more than desirable. Serenity was our server on the members terrace and she was beyond amazing. Made it feel like fast friends but also made sure she gave us high level service. The fries we got were perfectly crispy on the outside and pillowy soft inside. Love this place so much! read more

The ambiance is amazing out on the patio- killer views! We enjoyed our wine tower tasting, curated especially for us by our fabulous server and wine steward person/ Jaylynne! Jae was extremely personable and helpful/ and we loved her wine selections! We loved the white viognier wine, and especially the red Syrah and Zinfandel . We had a wonderful smoked turkey sandwich with cheese and cranberry aioli. Yum. So happy we got to come back to our favorite vineyard, with our cousins who are Gold members, the Suttons! read more

Jalynne was one of the best parts of our night at Leoness Cellars. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations that truly enhanced our experience. Despite also managing a very large party, she remained patient, warm, and fully present with us. The fries and the power salad were delicious! My friend said the butter cake was also a great choice! We were one of the last two parties in the restaurant, and not once did we feel rushed or pressured to wrap up our evening. Her professionalism and hospitality made our visit exceptional. Thank you, Jalynne, for making our night so enjoyable! 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

Leoness Cellars - Everyone had their own individual menu reminder Leoness printed up so beautifully - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Temecula, California

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! Now the Ambiance with live entertainment combined with the surrounding beautiful vineyards absolutely breathtaking! 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! Thank you Serenity for always making us feel at home! read more

Had an amazing time wine tasting with Evan! He was very funny, kind, and knowledgeable. Hope to return soon!

Located in Temecula CA. I already reviewed the winery previously. This review is about the restaurant. There is an indoor restaurant which opens until 7pm daily, closes 5pm Sunday. There is also another outdoor eating area. Last time I ate at the members area at outdoor restaurant and had the sashimi tacos. They were ok, I would rate a 6/10. The taco shell texture was unexpected and the taco was really messy. Nothing really to say about the sashimi, just below my expectation. Now the restaurant indoors is really good. I had my wedding rehearsal dinner there for a party of 12. If you have a party of 14 or more, you need to send the pre-selected food items to the manager Robert ahead of time. If you have 13 or less, you can just order there. The food was really fresh and high quality. They took my large party with one week's notice. I called about 9 our 10 restaurants in the area and they had $5,000 or $6,000 minimums or couldn't seat a party of 12-18 (i didn't know the exact number of heads). Wild mushroom appetizer - to die for. a must! i will come back just for this. Brussel Sprouts appetizer - it was good. has bacon. but slightly burnt. Catch of the day - the sauce was a little sweet said some guests. I tried and loved it. Shrimp Scampi Linguini - delicious. get 4 shrimp. Filet mignon - good. no one complained. Mixed greens salad - superb, super fresh Cesar salad - everyone loved this Hats off to our servers for being so attentive and accomodating. Cheers to Robert, who did an amazing job and even made us seating name tags to get our pre-selected orders correct. read more

We have been members here for the past four years, and we've truly loved the wine, the food, and the overall experience. However, with the change in management, there have been a few decisions that have really missed the mark. I strongly believe in the idea that if something isn't broken, it shouldn't be fixed -- and the charcuterie board was one of those things. The original board was beautiful and generous: garlic bread, high-quality meats, great cheeses, grapes, and even salmon. At $35, it easily fed our group of 12. The new version is a disappointment. The quality has gone down across the board -- thinner, cheaper meats (and no more salmon), lower-quality cheeses, and instead of garlic bread it now comes with breadsticks and crackers. Even the jam has changed. It no longer has the consistency or taste of the homemade version; it tastes more like a store-bought jam and now has to come in a container to be hold in, because it's not made from real fruit anymore. To make matters worse, the price went up to $45. For something they spread in a longer platter but with less food. That board used to be my favorite item on the menu, and now it's not even worth ordering. Another issue is the bottom terrace. In the past, guests were allowed to bring their own snacks since food isn't really served there, and we would happily keep purchasing drinks. Yesterday, however, I saw a couple being reprimanded for pulling out their own snacks. If you don't serve food in that area -- and the only food option is now a disappointing charcuterie board -- why prohibit guests from bringing something small to eat? I truly hope management reconsiders these changes. Leoness used to be my favorite winery, but unfortunately, these decisions are leaving a bad taste in my mouth. read more

My first time at a SoCal winery, recommended by a friend! They had a great selection of wines, and we enjoyed the beautiful weather, stunning views, and reasonably priced wines with a group of friends. The staff was friendly, and the live music was a great bonus. Loved the whole experience! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this winery - they have one of the best, if not the best, Cabernets in Temecula wine country in my humble opinion (we used to live in Napa and now live here in Temecula, and have high standards for reds). The venue itself is very classy, with refined design and architecture. The view and the vineyard is also beautiful - I really enjoyed sipping on my wine while walking through the grapevines. Shout out to Jalynne, who was super friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and helpful in our exploration of the wines available through the tasting. The food was delicious as well! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

We had the best experience at Leoness Cellars today--and ended up becoming members before we even finished our tasting! That's how good it was. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and beautifully curated. The views alone are worth the visit--rolling vineyards, peaceful ambiance, and a gorgeous patio that makes you want to stay all day. But the real highlight was our incredible wine educator, Becky B. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and approachable. Becky took the time to walk us through each wine with genuine passion and helped us discover some new favorites. Her energy and expertise totally elevated our tasting--she's a gem! The wines here are top-tier--balanced, bold, and clearly crafted with care. We were so impressed with the quality (and Becky's awesome service) that joining the wine club was an easy decision. Can't wait to come back for our member tastings and more great conversations. We had the absolute pleasure of catching Julia Lyons, a talented singer-songwriter, and her brother Jackson Lyons on fiddle during our visit to Leoness Cellars--and they were phenomenal! Julia's voice is soulful and captivating, and Jackson's fiddle playing added such a unique, heartfelt touch to the whole performance. Their chemistry as siblings shines through in the best way. It was the perfect soundtrack to an already beautiful winery experience. Don't miss them if they're playing--you'll be glad you stayed a little longer! Leoness Cellars is everything you want in a Temecula winery--scenic, relaxing, and filled with great people and even better wine. Highly recommend! read more

We love coming here every year! We typically grab a couple bottles of wine with our friends and have some truffle fries. The ambiance is very chill and relaxed, the service is great, and most importantly is that we always are able to relax and not be rushed. Great times at Leoness, we come every year! read more

I like many wineries, but only love a few -- and Leoness Cellars has joined my short list. It has a rare, almost cinematic kind of magic -- a truly curated experience, made unforgettable by Salo, who made going above and beyond feel like it was simply how things are done. Thank you Salo and Leoness, for such a warm memory. read more

I love everything about Leoness, but can you please bring back the old Charcuterie board, it was sooo much better than the current version.

Leoness Cellars consistently exceeds expectations with their outstanding policies and staff. My initial visit was made memorable by Heidi in the tasting area. She patiently guided me through a tasting and answered my many questions about the membership options. Although I initially needed time to consider joining, Heidi's excellent service was a key factor in my becoming a member. Unfortunately, she was not working when I returned to become a member. Vicki assisted us and noted on our application of Heidi's efforts. In the member area, both Devin and Jeff have consistently provided lighthearted, knowledgeable, and attentive service. Beyond the exceptional staff, the food at Leoness Cellars has been impressive, the grounds and facilities are immaculate, it's always easy to speak with someone when needed (including the manager Dan) and the operating hours are preferable to others in the area that close earlier. While I cherish the connections I made at my previous winery, every experience at Leoness Cellars reinforces that I made the right choice in becoming a member. read more
