Yesterday my fiancé and I went here and we were disappointed. It was a Monday. Nobody there, in fact the employee said we were her first customers. However, when I went to use the bathroom it was disgusting and obviously not cleaned from the previous day. The trash was overflowing and there was toilet paper, seat liners, ect. all over the floor. I can't believe no one cleaned the bathrooms to the start of opening that day, especially in the time when we need to be cleaning a little better. Also our wine was served in a plastic cup. Not ideal for wine tasting. read more

Such a cool relaxed country vibe!! A winery so much different and better than all the other bougie wineries! We joined the club and can't wait to go back!! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I got married here October of 2019 and Shayna and David were amazing I couldn't of asked for a better day! They made everyone feel welcomed and special. This place is absolutely beautiful! Shayna is amazing and literally answered every question I had. read more

THE ALPACA IS RACIST!!! Nah, I can't confirm that, but it does get angry if you try to get too close. The horses though... they're bigots! Nah, can't prove that either. BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE PHOBIC GOATS!!!.... Nah... read more

We went there because we had bought a Groupon. Upon arrival there was about 15-20 people in there and only one sommelier/steward present. They have 4 white wines and if I remember correctly 8 reds. I like sweet wines so my favorite was the Muscat. I also ended up buying the bottle since we got 10$ credit from the coupon. I am giving four stars out of five because of the selection of wines not the service, she did what she could serving that many people alone. read more

I really love the atmosphere at this winery. The rescue horses and animals make an absolutely charming place to have wine. They had live music and it felt like you were out in the country. Will be back. read more

Super friendly folks, delicious wine, reasonable prices, nice property for a picnic, kids friendly too with an alpaca to pet if you dare to... But how can you resist its cute face and soft fluffy fur on his head? Also there's a mini playground for kids too. The guy serving us that day was amazing (sorry didn't get his name). He was very easygoing, let us try a lot of wines, was OK that we brought food for a family picnic, and even gave us the bottle of wine he opened by mistake because there was some miscommunication, when he could've kept the bottle for other customers! It was a nice relaxing afternoon for us. Although he offered us to sit inside at the empty tables for our lunch, we ended up sitting outside with the patio tables and chairs in the porch. The place can stink a little when you come out from the car because it's a ranch, duh, however we all got used to it soon and it wasn't that bad. I highly recommend this winery in Temecula! read more

Going to Longshadow was a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and patient. The Sauvignon blanc was refreshing and light. The reds were not for me but I enjoy big reds with a silky mouthfeel. I loved that it was laid back and not pretentious. It was good to see the kids playing on the playground. The animals are fun. There was a food option. Food was alright, standard burger and tri tip was just okay. Found a small hair in the caprese salad side which was a shame since it looked fresh. Keep it up Longshadow with the laid back family friendly atmosphere! read more

If you're thinking about having your wedding here, DO IT. Shayna and the entire Longshadow wedding staff is absolutely incredible. Shawna was our bartender that we specifically chose because she was so genuinely sweet and caring towards my husband and I. And Shayna literally handled EVERYTHING. Neither my husband or I lifted a finger once. Even my mother in law looked at me at one point and said why has this been so easy? And I know it's all because of this beautiful venue and their incredible staff. Thank you so much Longshadow! read more

If you are looking for a more country style vineyard, this is your place. This place is also very kid friendly for those who have little ones, but also need an adult beverage. The tasting room is spacious and they clearly have the layout to host moderate events. My friends and I did a tasting. The service was good, but then as it was crowded, a bit less attentive. read more

"Great for kids who aren't wanderers!" "Longshadow is probably THE best winery for kids. Even the inside of the winery is kid-friendly. But you'd never need to hang out in there because there's so much to do outside - playground, horses, goats, and on summer Saturday nights they have a zip-line and a mechanical bull! This is a great place to come and have a picnic and your kids will be totally entertained. Love Longshadow!" "Easy parking Super friendly staff Horses, llama, goats for the kids to visit." "Love the atmosphere." read more

I love that this winery is outdoors and has animals!!!! They also limos and you don't need reservations for large groups. Dan was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about his wines, personable, and hilarious. Everyone that worked here was super friendly and accommodating! I also found it interesting that they have a playground. I love that they are catering to families. The gift shop is small but they have some great drinking gifts! The wines are ok. read more

Getting married at Longshadow Ranch was nothing short of amazing. Shayna was a huge help and a great day of coordinator and a real pleasure to work with. The Rustic Barn has everything you need from a great looking with Bridal dressing area above with the reception area below. The outdoor area for cocktail hour is very spacious and set-up with tables throughout. The wedding ceremony is behind the barn with plenty of space and a great arch way that some décor can hang from. Longshadow Ranch had everything we needed, from the style of the grounds, from the assistance and staff, along with a great pricing. If Longshadow Ranch is on your list of places, we recommend stopping in and viewing the grounds and staying to have a nice glass of wine and hopefully fall in love like we did. read more

Longshadow Ranch is a diamond in the rough for sure. They don't do things like most of the other wineries you can visit in Temecula. They are receiving 4 stars from me instead of 5 for 2 reasons. For one, you pass horses on the way in....sure, it's adorable and fun...until you smell them. Two, with horses and the smell, you also get flies....lots of flies...and they will land on your glass when you set it down on the bar...even when you are inside. Now, that sounds gross, right? Well, not really. I will return to Longshadow for all the character it possesses, such as the wine! I liked several of the reds, such as the Syrah and the Outlaw. What also makes this winery special is the guys serving the wine. They are hilarious and could probably be compared to a scene out of Cocktail. (For those of you under the age of 25, Cocktail is a movie. Rent it.) You also get to keep the glass and of all the glasses I have from Temecula, Longshadow is my favorite by far! It's taller and it's emblem is adorable. read more

Longshadow Ranch Vineyard And Winery - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

I am definitely a fan of Longshadow Ranch! The overall atmosphere is relaxed and casual. To top it all off, the bartenders area down to earth. Out of the four other wineries we visited, Longshadow was our last stop and ended being my favorite. I am far from being a wine connoisseur. I learned rather quickly that I am not a white wine type of gal. But... and I really mean, BUT... I do have an exception- Longshawdow's Mikey Mix (named after Mike, the bartender). Mikey's mix is white Merlot and muscat. White Merlot is not at the top of my wine list; but to my surprise, Muscat is pretty good alone. It is not bitter and overwhelming. I fell in-love when I tried the two mixed together. It no longer stated like the white wines I avoided throughout the trip. It was perfect enough that I purchased one bottle of each. Since, this was our last stop after three other wineries I was pretty much reached my limit. I wanted to try the boot shooter but I just couldn't do it. Now, I have an excuse to go back. read more

This was the last stop on a girls wine tasting trip and boy am I glad. If I had come here first all the other wineries would have paled in comparison. Also it was almost closing time so the dude behind the bar was pouring fuller glasses to get rid of any already opened bottles. Score for us. Great service even after my friend was whining about them not honoring a coupon that clearly stated wasn't good on Fridays and asked to see the manager . This is my new favorite. I really like the layout and ambiance of this place. Charming dude ranch style decor and fun gift items in the shop. But the real kicker was the staff. I told them what I liked in very vague terms and each time they got it right with their offerings. I do this girls wine tasting once a year and we all agreed that Longshadows will forever be our last stop. read more

We have been to LongShadow 4 times now. We have immensely enjoyed the nights with live music, mechanical bull riding, the animals, playground...all of it! Service is #1 priority for us when visiting any place. We love supporting local and will continue to come back! read more

GREAT & friendly customer service here =) +1 A smaller winery off the beaten path that's not as commercialized as the bigger ones in Temecula wine valley that the tour buses don't stop by..I like that.. =) +1 I LOVE the horses & goats that they have outside in front yard. ;) +1 The red wines here are pretty decent & they have some interesting little snacks that they sell here too =) +1 read more

Fun place to taste wine -- horses, goats, was there a llama too or did I just think so after my tasting.... Longshadow has a great big, rustic tasting room/barn and friendly staff. The wine was typical of Temecula wine which is to say, honestly, you might be better off with a bottle of Two Buck Chuck. But we'll be back because it's a fun date and the white wines, at least, are palatable. read more

The wine tour includes this place and it was a good choice. The ranch, the horses, the atmosphere, and the people make this winery one of the best of the day. I got tons of great shots for the bachelorette party and the bride looks beautiful running around this winery. The outside bar is a big plus. It's just more fun to drink outside!!! read more

I'm not really a wine guy, but I had to do a review on Longshadow because I really had a good time at their awesome winery. I can't really speak on the wine, because I'm not a wine and cheese kind of guy. I'm more of a beer and bacon kinda dude. HOWEVER, the reason why I love Longshadow is out of all the wineries that I've been to in Temecula, they are the least pretentious of them all (in my humble opinion). Their tasting rooms, patio and grounds are perfect and well maintained. Out of all the wines that I had the opportunity to taste at Longshadow my favorite is the Cab Franc. To me, it was full flavor, fruity (you can really taste the grapes) and dry. I really enjoyed it and actually left with a bottle of it. The staff here are super friendly and attentive to their customers needs. Someone did a really good job on hiring here! They really made me feel comfortable during the tasting session, and really gave me some extra attention because I was a "newb". I walked outside and saw that they had an area for weddings and receptions. When you walk the grounds be sure to go check out the horses, they are kinda smelly but so cool to check out with a wine glass in your hand. Longshadow impressed me on all levels and this "beer guy" will definitely be back! :) read more

This was our second stop on our wine tasting adventure. Its a decent size place. Right when we walked in, the bar tender greeted us right away. He was extremely friendly. Loved the vibe of our bar tender. Made us feel at home. It's a kid friendly environment. Our son had fun looking at the pretty horses outside. Overall this winery is sophisticated and love the horse theme and decor throughout the winery. It's a beautiful place and will be back here next time I'm in town. read more

I wine on occasion... my first time [wine tasting in Temecula] started at Longshadow Ranch. I've tried a bottle of White Merlot before, and that's what sold me on coming to this particular winery during my wine excursion in Temecula. No one else was tasting on a Monday afternoon, but it was awesome because the owner told us some funny stories. I'm not a fan of reds, so I tasted all of the whites and roses. $15 gets you 5 tastes and a souvenir tall wine glass. I purchased a few bottles and the owner knocked off $5 from the tasting fee :) Here's what I tasted: Sauvignon Blanc Muscat of Alexandria White Feather Chardonnay White Merlot Combination of Muscat & White Merlot The winery is small, but it's quaint and a nice place to take photos! Perfect for a date or for groups. This would be a great spot of a picnic too. Btw, absolutely no outside animal on the ranch so leave fido at home! read more

Now, I liked this place a lot more than Ponte. Yes, it was a lot smaller and they had less variety, but it was the intimate atmosphere that made me write this one down as a place to visit again. Originally we were headed to the Red Barn Winery, but apparently they are only open on the weekends. So instead we saw Longshadow close by and decided to drive in. It was lightly misting when we walked up to the large tent, and though a chill came through because of the large openings, the people and the "winetender" definitely warmed me up. There were only about a dozen and a half people lined up along the small bar, which was tucked away in the corner of the tent. But the dude (whose name escapes me right now and am embarrassed to admit), who was handing out the samples was pretty much great. He knew his stuff, was friendly, funny, and was able to keep up with everyone's requests. The people here were friendly and chatting amongst other groups. The horses in the back and the dog running around really made for a relaxed atmosphere. It was not pretentious like a couple of the other wineries in the area, so plus points for that! Again, I had very small tastes, but though there weren't as many to select from, I did like 'em. read more

I love this winery!!! It's kid friendly and they have some delicious wine and food. They have live music and a really great playground. The wines are well priced and easy to drink. We will always be returning customers. read more

Regarding visiting with kids, as of August 2018, the slide/rock wall climbing set has either been removed or is moved to less accessible area. Nevertheless, my 7-year-old was able to "set up shop" with his Beyblade games on one of the numerous tables present front and back of the winetasting "barn." Two Clydesdale horses and 1 draft horse are present in front. I did see, but did not hear, several other kids. Regarding the wine tasting experience, there is a large tasting room, with cowboy theme decor in an outside. Some of the guests had donned cowboy.cowgirl garb, although the staff did not. Cocktail tables and couches were present inside, with a water fall, a firepit and rocking chairs and tables outside. I enjoyed the Pinot Grigio, a light summer wine, and purchased the Syrah/Cab Franc "Wildhorse." read more

YEEEEEHAW Wine Lovers! There's a ranch in this here town that'll git ya drunk and have ya giggling over things you never thought were funny and lose the ability to count! What more could you want in a WINOry!! Okay, so let the record show that their wines here are not the most amazing in the land of the 951. They aren't bad, but they aren't woot woot, lemme drag home a case. BUT this place has charm. It is a ranch and it's dusty and it was the last stop on a 7 winery tour for us and while I don't remember much other than the fact that there was a newlywed couple making out next to us and the winetenders kept pouring us more and more wine, I still have a pleasant memory of the place and everyone working here was cool. They also have animals to talk to and when you are drunk on wine sometimes that's important after your friends have tuned you out for singing I'm An Old Cow Hand too loudly. Definitely worth checking out as one of many on a tour here! read more

We came for a concert. The band, Desperado (Eagles Tribute Band) was fantastic! They had some type of BBQ which was okay. The meat was barely warm and it was average regarding taste and quality. The wine was good-had the Pinot Grigio. When we asked how much it would be to buy a bottle...we got three different prices. They were only offering 4 wines that night-not sure why the staff didn't know the price of a bottle of wine. We heard anywhere from $20-$35. The goats and alpaca were so cute and the winery itself had a welcoming "farm" feel. read more

If you go on the weekend this is what to expect: no wait staff, no actual wine glass (plastic cups), no tastings and mediocre wine and extremely dirty bathrooms. Plenty of other wineries in the area that are leaps better than this place. read more

Attended a wedding this past weekend at this beautiful winery. Easy to find - beautiful setting. Great ambiance. At the reception they served various types but I love my reds so I got the syrah.... was earthy and full bodied...smooth!!! The food was buffet style and was quite good. I will have to go back just for the wine tasting!!! read more

Longshadow Ranch Vineyard And Winery - Wineries Near Me - Temecula, California

This is definitely a winery you shouldn't miss. It's a chill ranch with horses so you feel like you're in the country side. Sipping on wine. Sitting at the outdoor patio. Enjoying the breeze and the buzz. Check out their calendar too, they have live music @ the ranch. Life doesn't really often get better than this. My favorites at this ranch are the muscat wine and the white merlot. read more

Quite possibly, the best winery in the area. Every time my wife and I go to Temecula for wine tasting, Longshadow Ranch is a must in our itinerary. The people are knowledgeable and quite friendly. The tour groups are usually served in the outdoor wine tasting bar, but individual visits are done inside the tasting room. The horses that reside there give winery tours on a carriage and they are also used in wine growing, making, harvesting, etc. Do try the White Merlot mixed with the Moscato. Mmmmmmm. ;0) read more

I went to Longshadow on Friday, 6/24, for a concert event produced by Heyday Events. We paid $39 for a ticket to Desperado, an Eagles cover band. The parking situation was horrible. Gates opened at 6 PM for the concert, but the parking lot was already full, including all handicapped spots. We were directed by 3 staff members to "park along the road off in the dirt", which we did. Unfortunately, after the concert ended at 10:00, one of our party arrived back to her vehicle to find that all of the cars parked along the road were ticketed by Riv Co SD for illegal parking! This is unacceptable- manage the parking situation better, or stop hosting large events! In addition, Longshadow is the only winery event I have ever been to that charges in advance for a "two drink minimum" at concert events. It is unnecessary, and created a bad feeling that resulted in us purchasing fewer drinks than we would have, if we were allowed to get a bottle of wine and relax. The lines to get the tiny plastic cups of wine were so long, that we just gave up and drank beer so we could try and enjoy the music. The bathroom had only two stalls for the large crowd, and one of them had a broken toilet, so that was rough. Overall, the band was excellent, but the event space was tiny, parking was non-existent, we were never able to try any of the wines, and the staff was disorganized and unhelpful, and the bathrooms inadequate. My 2 stars are for the animals and the farm-like setting. We won't be back. read more

Our favorite spot of the day. Great wines, was recommended by the bartender at Palumbo Family Vineyards. Great ambiance. Beautiful horses, rustic ranch look....my girlfriend bought a wine membership which I sort of Susan understand given that the cost was 59 every 2 months for 2 bottles, but the wine club prices were less than that. In the 20 dollar range. Loved the 2008 Cinsalut. Rich berry flavor and fruit forward but still dry and somewhat earthy. Definitely a fan. Probably pretty good place for weddings, a bride was planning her wedding next to us in the tasting room and the person assisting her seemed very helpful. Bartenders were really nice and helpful. Super fun. Generous pours and informative about the characteristics of the wine and the winery in general Chocolate boot soooooo yummy! Check it out for sure! read more

I would give one star but it wasn't horrible. I just don't think it was good at all. There are so many wineries to choose from this one is worth skipping! The wine is very blah. I came here with a groupon and they offered a $20 voucher which I didn't redeem. It was that bad. The service was horrible. We felt very rushed and not attended to. It's very ranch style and the smell of the animals is very strong. I do not recommend going to this winery and probably won't ever return. read more

A winery that doesn't distribute--so expect great wine. The staff is always nice, the tasting room always clean and the atmosphere is more "country chic" that ostentatious. They take in rescue horses and give them new homes, which is a fantastic message in my opinion and a bold mission hence the 5 stars. The Sensault (sp) here is my all time favorite red wine (a bit pricey though at $45+ a bottle for those used to spending under $30 in the area) but well worth every penny. Also pay to try their brandy in a chocolate boot--one of my favorite brandy places in the area. Be warned: they hold a LOT of weddings here and as a result run out of many of their best selling wines. Great membership prices and deals, though! read more

Their grounds and their horses are beautiful. They have a lovely outdoor area with a couple of picnic tables that you can sit out under the big shade trees and enjoy a glass of wine. Their main building was closed for a wedding but we enjoyed their small tasting room. It was intimate and cozy. Their wines are good... we focused on tasting white, roses and lighter reds since my wine fridge is low on "summer" wines. They are known for their Ports... as I am not a Port drinker... I did not include this in my tasting. I enjoyed their Sauv Blanc so much I bought a bottle... looking back... I should have bought 2. Darn... oh well... just means I have to go back. It was light... crisp with nice acidity... and a tad citrusy. read more

We did a wine tasting day in Temecula this past Saturday, and Longshadow Ranch was the last stop on our tour. I wish it had been the first stop though, because it was really great! Longshadow has a few pretty horses out front, and they maintain their horse theme throughout the tasting room decor and bottle artwork. The staff that we encountered during our tasting were really friendly, and poured some nice, sophisticated wines. I preferred the Tempranillo out of everything, and would consider getting a case. Overall, Longshadow is a really special boutique winery, and if I ever return to Temecula, I'll make a special trip there. read more

It's with much disappointment that I have to share my updated experience with Longshadow. As wonderful a venue as they were for my husband and I, I am beyond angry at how I have been treated as a (ex) wine club customer. If you are looking for a place to join a wine club - STAY AWAY. I signed up for the wine club in May 2016 following my wedding. I only received one shipment of wine, despite being charged for two. After the second charge and insistence that there was no second shipment for me, I left the wine club. Much to my surprise, Longshadow decided to start up charging me again in October 2017 - a year and a half after I left the membership. Had I known when I signed up for the wine club that I would be embarking on a seven-month-long battle to reverse unauthorized charges to my card, I would not have signed up. Each time I called Longshadow, I was given bizarre explanations such as being informed there was a "glitch" in their system where "several people" were erroneously charged. I was also told such professional things as, "huh, that's weird!" Talking to a manager did nothing, and emailing their wine club email as instructed did absolutely nothing either. After each fraudulent charge and phone call/email where I was consistently assured they would issue a refund, I politely waited weeks until I realized I wouldn't be getting my money back. I have had to contact my credit card company every single time this happens, which means waiting 30 days to get my money back while my credit card investigates the fraud - each time, the fraud case is settled in my favor because Longshadow never responds. After FIVE FRAUDULENT CHARGES by Longshadow, I ended up having to call my credit card today and have it canceled due to fraud. Now I am without my card while I wait for a replacement, all because Longshadow can't get their shit together and stop charging people who demand time and time again to be removed from their wine club. I cannot tell you how incredibly disappointing it is to have such a bad taste put in my mouth by my own wedding venue. My husband and I selected Longshadow as somewhere we could go back to and revisit our venue - not anymore. I absolutely refuse to hand any money over to a company who actively engages in fraud, and so should you. read more

The wine here is OK, not for someone that likes the big bold reds. It is more for an event and people that like white or sweet wines. For the 2016 Temecula barrel event they did not have the food listed on the menu and it was very disappointing. read more
