Driving to Temecula for the first time to enjoy my birthday weekend, I definitely had to make a…read morestop here and it was such a great experience. To know especially that these are rescued animals and are being taken care of so carefully, giving us the privilege of being able to give them our love as well, it was a heartwarming experience. Plenty of free parking available right infront of the sanctuary. There is a cute little shop attached to the sanctuary, where you can buy their handmade truffle chocolates which are so delicious (coming from someone who isn't a fan of truffle chocolates), fresh farm eggs, honey, and other delicacies. With your zoo "ticket" you get 2 free samples of their chocolates and a hefty bag of feed for the animals. The animals are mostly in their own pens, with some together. There's even a couple of the pigs you'll find out of pens, just hanging out on the property, laying beside the building. You're able to go into the tortoise pen and feed/pet him as well, 2 people at a time inside the pen, as he does get anxious. You're not able to feed all of the animals, but for the most part you can. Each pen has a sign for which animals are ok to feed/pet and which are not. They are very calm and friendly, as long as you are too. They take the feed very gently and don't bite your fingers. On the weekends they offer pizza made fresh for the visitors, and have plenty of covered outdoor seating options to enjoy. They also offer wine tasting, but we did not partake, as we had just left a winery, but I'm sure it is quite enjoyable as well. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area and it's a 5 minute drive from the wineries!

We came here for the animals, but we will be returning for the chocolates. OMG, their truffles are…read moreout of this world!!! I was tempted and seduced with a Banana Truffle, and then I needed more, more, more. We spent more on chocolates than we did touring the animals, and it was worth EVERY penny!!! The animals they have here are all rescues, and many of them have issues, but they have a loving forever home here. With the exception of the Camel and the Bison, we own many of these animals ourselves, but still enjoy interacting with and feeding them. They all were such characters. One of the Alpacas is hysterical, absolutely LOVED him/her, with the goofiest teeth. They all take the treats so nicely and have soft mouths. I got to pet a Zebra (oh yeah, we don't have one of those either). The zebra is so cool and lives in a corral with a Zorse- such a fun experience. I don't care if you already own livestock; this place is a cool spot to stop in, and if nothing else, buy yourself some of the best chocolates you will ever have. When in season, they have Emu eggs available.

Such a fun place!

The chocolate-covered bacon looked interesting, and they also have NeeDohs, just at a much higher price. The ladies were very sweet and helpful. I'll try their store made goodies next time.

I got pralines and cream and cookies and cream for my two scoops and had peanut butter sauce added. That was perfect serving, and I enjoyed it a lot. Inside is cool, and there is ample space to sit down and relax, so I took my time relishing the flavors of childhood. The workers get through the line pretty fast, but I wouldn't be in such a hurry to hang out anyway. Enjoy if you go!

They have a huge selection of chocolates, fudge, caramel apples, and other treats, and everything looks fresh when you walk in. It's one of those places where it's hard to leave with just one thing. One of my favorites there is the zebra caramel apple. The apple is crisp and covered in rich caramel with white and dark chocolate drizzled over it. The combination of flavors is really good and it's definitely worth trying if you haven't had one before. The shop has a fun atmosphere and sometimes you can even see them preparing the treats behind the counter. Overall it's a great place to stop if you want good chocolate or a classic caramel apple. Definitely one of my go-to dessert spots when I'm in the area.

It was a little hard to find but we will never forget where it is, my wife loved the atmosphere and the feeling she had sitting in there.

It's definitely the kind of place where you want to try more than one thing. The pastries we tried were really good--light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can tell they put care into the quality and presentation. The shop itself was clean and had a nice welcoming atmosphere which made it a pleasant place to stop by. Overall it's a great bakery if you're looking for fresh pastries or a dessert while in Temecula. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again to try more of their desserts.
