Came to this winery for a tasting for two. Showed up mid-afternoon on a Friday, and it was fairly busy inside. My wife and I had scheduled an Amphorae tour. This type of winemaking differs from traditional wines because large ceramic vats are used in the winemaking process. Our tour guide was Hunter. He was very knowledgeable about the different varieties of grapes on the vineyard and was also able to describe how the vines grow, are trained, and pruned. He also explained the bottling process to us. After the tour, we returned to the tasting area where we met Kyle. He was doing a great job managing a bachelorette party. Both Kyle and Hunter kept it light and professional. The vineyard offered a great deal on a case of wine. Luckily, we drove out so we have a case to take home. I would recommend this place. read more

Really friendly service, a cute, well decorated interior, and really good wine! If you make your way out here, I highly recommend upgrading to the premium tasting, which features their Terracotta fermented wines which are absolutely phenomenal and worth the additional price! Very smooth, silky, and a pleasure to drink! read more

Only had time to try one sampling and opted for Somerset and so glad we did. Jen took great care of us and answered our many questions with patience and humor. We wanted to sample wines grown in the vineyard specifically, so she tailored our tasting to our request as well as samples wines made from grapes from other parts of Temecula valley. We were pleasantly surprised at how many wines were made from 100% varietals which speaks to the wine maker. There was a blend of tour groups and other wine members in the mix and we were never neglected amongst the crowd. Bought a bottle of 2022 Rousanne to enjoy later and to remember our great experience at the winery. read more

So this winery is really unique. They still make their wines in the terracotta amphorae. These large clay jars were used for wine making and storing of wine throughout the Mediterranean during Biblical times. They gave us a short history lesson and tour. Which no other wineries did that on the wine tour. Really nice place but be prepared to wait on those tasting because this winery was extremely busy. And I do mean busy. I don't think they had enough staff members for the Mother's Day crowd. read more

We had such a great time at Somerset Winery! The atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing, and the perfect place to spend the afternoon. The staff was lovely and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. A special shoutout to Justin, who took amazing care of us. He was friendly and had such great energy. He made the experience even more enjoyable with his excellent service and hospitality. I cannot recommend Somerset Winery enough! read more

Although I didn't care for most of the wines here, my fiancé and I really enjoyed the atmosphere created here. The relaxed vibe was very chill and made it easy to have a conversation with your party and event he bartender if it's not too crowded. The biggest con is that the place feels emailing comparison to other wineries so that when the live music or food vendors bring in more people, it makes this place feel cramped. read more

So so wonderful!! We were staying right up the road at an Airbnb, we are crazy and chose to walk here from it to then walk up back and hit all the other wineries along the way. Somerset was the first stop and it was great! We loved being able to grab a glass and walk the grounds. We shared a 6 tasting and it was so good! They had very nice champagne and merlot! Would 100% come back. Such great service and friendliness from staff. Beautiful grounds. read more

Cute little spot my wife and I stumbled upon one night. We walked in and right away were greeted. The gentleman behind the bar took his time as we tried different wines to get the perfect one! He nailed the flavors for us! They are all super nice there. Fun, modern, friendly place. The merch is also super cool. Wineries like Somerset make a good place to get Christmas gifts. Especially me because my family lives in another state. The night we were there a couple of older guys were jamming singing live, having fun and kept the evening chill. My wife and I bought a bottle of wine and hung out for a while. I recommend taking a visit and when you're there reading the story of the "drunken bunnies." We will be back! read more

Beautiful winery with a lot of outdoor seating. Came here for the tour and wine tasting. Tour was very short but it was nice to see where they make the wine and hear the history of this winery and learn more about the wine making process. The wines were good and loved the mild red wines with less acidity. Can't remember the name of the wines but we enjoyed most of them. We would definitely add this winery to our rotation. read more

What an amazing wine tasting & tour experience! This winery is absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I were so impressed with our wine tasting and tour with Leisha! She was very knowledgeable and detailed in explaining the various wines and amphorae wines that Somerset produces. In addition she provided a history of the winery too. We did sign up for a membership since we enjoyed their products and would be benefiting for a close out of town getaway. Totally impressive winery! read more

Beautiful outside area to sit and relax. Very sunny -- not a ton of coverage or umbrellas. The chairs were also a bit cheap. But, the wine was great. Very dog friendly. They have water for dogs and some were even roaming around. They had the best brut rose. Service was very friendly. They had a bus stop during our stay, so they got a lot of service while we relaxed with our glasses. read more

First time at Somerset and I feel that overall everything was a 4/5. The ambiance was very nice with outside seating and indoor seating. The inside is pretty dark inside and has their tastings which is only $25 for 5 tastings. They give you chips to use to try each tastings. The muscat is my fav, especially if you like sweeter wine. The service was good hunter was phenomenal and made sure to explain all the wines and the taste level. They only have food trucks which I feel they should have food here and more options for food choices. This is a nice winery to see and try their wines. -Marshay D. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Somerset Winery, especially during the tour of the amphorae wine-making area. Leisha, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic -- incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history and process of amphorae wine making. She explained everything in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way, which made the tour feel very special and unique. I was especially impressed by her depth of knowledge about the wines and the ancient terracotta vessels used in the process. The wines we tasted were excellent, and the entire experience was both educational and enjoyable. Leisha truly made the visit memorable. I also met one of the owners and he was an extremely nice man. We will definitely be back The wine we tasted was excellent, and our group drank both red and white. The amphorae wine was excellent Highly recommend the amphorae tour if you visit Somerset!" read more

Spent the weekend with a group of friends at the Somerset estate this past weekend. What a beautiful setting. The estate itself is massive and was great for the seven couples that attended the getaway. It could use some updating but all in all it was a great experience. Somerset had a great live musician playing one of the nights down at the winery and obviously great wine to go with it. read more

A recent trip to Temecula with Te-see and her hubby was fantastic in many ways! The first stop was to the Somerset Vineyard. I had not explored this area of Temecula before. It was venturing out to places new to us. The vibe and service was superb! The staff were were welcoming. You can tell when the staff loves their job, it shows in their passion and friendly manner in which they greet and recommend items based on your preferences. We started our tasting, then ventured out to the outdoor sections. The first area had lots of seating and live entertainment. We found a table on the other side in the covered patio. -$40 wine tasting and tour available. -Watch for their annual Wine Stomp event priced at $200+ for your Team of 4 people. -Gift shop and wine accessories. -Food truck on-site. -Ample free parking in their private lot. Drop on by and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary and Te-see sent ya! read more

I'm visiting this quiet tranquil Gem hidden in the trails of wine country, yet easy to get here. I walked around to experience the beautiful landscape. Inside I was able to feel the Welcoming atmosphere. We stayed in the patio with the warm sun & breeze just right to enjoy our wine tasting starting at $25. We came early this Saturday morning by the time it was 2PM it was bustling with events & what seemed like Tour buses. It didn't get crowded but it was busy. Nonetheless we experienced a good time of peaceful bliss. Our Wine counselor was friendly & pleasant; Hunter suggested we try Drunk Bunnies and we loved it, it's sweet yet not overwhelming. We took those "Bunnies" home lol Cheers!! Experience it for yourself this week, parking is free. read more

We came here on a wine tour and it was really cool because we got to go back and see the terra-cotta pots that they aged the wine in and they have a few lines that they create from that process so I thought that was really cool. We were not able to taste them, however, so that was kind of a little bit disappointing but since they had such a small yield, it is understandable. They had a few good wines that we tasted and then we also got a full glass of it, and it was really cute inside. It would be nice in the summer to sit outside too. I thought it was a very unique winery and we would probably come back when we were in Temecula again. read more

Had a very nice tour and got to see the old fashioned Terra cota pots they use to make some of their wine. This is the old way of making wine and you can absolutely taste the difference in the wine. It's not necessarily a better flavor or worst. It's all interpretation and taste. We ended up liking the white granache they offered so bought a bottle. All very reasonably priced wines and most of what we tried was delicious. The ambiance is very Spanish style and felt warm and cozy. Service was great and they had some great wine recommendations to sample. Live music was happening and they did a great job as well. read more

*Our First stop on our Sunday Wine Tasting Quest with Rose & John was by far my favorite! I loved the tasting bar, the grounds and our Sommelier, Jen. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, she has been at this particular winery for 2 years. She was spot on with her red wine recommendations and we felt very comfortable chatting with her. Our tasting included 5 glasses of any wine on their menu including a few sparkling wines. My hubby and I went for the reds. However, I wanted to taste the 2023 Drunk Bunnies Symphony - a white with notes of orange blossom, jasmine & peach. It was refreshing but a tad too sweet for me. We bought a bottle of the 2021 Petite Sirah, which was dark and smooth. ($50 a bottle) A little history about Somerset: Brother's Kurt and John Tiedt decided to go into the wine making business with a group of close friends on this 14 acre vineyard producing sustainably farmed varietals from Southern France as well as select regions in Spain. They have an inviting Tasting Room, a beautiful garden outside with plenty of tables to relax and enjoy your wine with view of the grape vines. *David Vincent Raffaele is their winemaker *No Reservations needed for Wine Tastings *Thursday - Sunday they have food trucks on the premises *NO Outside Food or Drinks allowed *Pets are allowed as long as they are on a leash *Live entertainment on the weekend *Plenty of parking in the lot read more

We decided to visit a spontaneous winery very close to our Airbnb. We chose Somerset out of the blue and we are so happy that we did. Jason , was our fantastic server. He poured some very very interesting wines. It was not a busy day, so we got to go inside to take a peek at the beautiful clay pots that they use for some of their wines, giving us the history of how it all began it was a fantastic experience. I wish we could've stayed longer, be back we love their wines took a few bottles home. We're going to bring our friends in and enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy.. read more

Hubby and I were in Temecula for a short staycation and out of the 4 wineries we ended up going to, this was by far our favorite. The grounds are beautiful. The staff is fantastic - Leisha did an extraordinary job teaching us the history about their wine making process, this is the only winery in temecula that have wine made in Terracotta pots and boy it was tasty. If you get a chance, I highly recommend the tour, the pots are HUGE and gorgeous. I'm not sure if you can get a tasting of their special wine without the tour. I wasn't a fan of their white wine but I enjoyed several of their reds - I'm normally a red wine drinker so don't take my word in regards to the whites. Their sparking wine was a little too sweet for me but good. Make sure to check our Somerset, this will be a regular stop for us whenever we head out to Temecula. read more

First time here with the family for our Christmas outing. Easy to get to, parking right out front which was great for my FIL that uses a cane. They have indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas, I didn't see any heat lamps though. We sat inside next to the fireplace. Chasen was our wine host and told a great story about the history. The nice thing about their tasting is that you can choose if you want a combo of reds and whites or just red or just white; we had just white since it was day time. The property also has 9 bedrooms and a pool for a wedding or other celebration. They had a pizza truck making wood fire pizza from the parking lot. We loved the experience and will be back! read more

I have been to Somerset Vineyard and Winery at least three times now, and this winery stands out as my favorite of the several wineries I have visited in Temecula. I first checked it out during an event for the California Teacher's Association and the other times during wine tours with friends. Every time I have been there, I have enjoyed the wine tour, the amazing friendly staff, and all the delicious wines! The outdoor area has always been a lovely place to hang out while enjoying our beverages and nibbling on delicious pizza (every time we've been there, we've been lucky enough to have the pizza truck). They also have had live music at least one of the times, so that's an added bonus. As if everything else I described wasn't enough, I love that this is one of the wineries that is doggie friendly! read more

This was a great idea to go to Somerset. Approximately 4 miles away from KOA site that we are staying at. As soon as we got out of the truck we knew it was gonna be nice. The sprawling outdoor sitting area gave you comfort that There is plenty of room. This was our first time here, we walked through the doors just at the right time there wasn't too many people here yet, and found a great place to get comfortable inside, and we brought our little dog Jasper . A cute couple (George and Grace ) were setting up to play live music. and they even dedicated a song to our Jasper, and they sang to him a little bit. That was really funny. We decided that we would do wine tasting . Jen was helping us. She was greatest ! and their wine was excellent. I really enjoyed the El Maestro and Le Sep. We really enjoyed our stay and we were not in a rush to get out of there. On our way out, we bought a few bottles of wine. I look forward to coming back again. read more

I was a joyful member and loved their Drunk Bunnies collection, however the manager Catherine/ Cathy was very rude and brash to me and my group of friends on my birthday. I have canceled my membership. If a person in management unabashedly conducts themselves like that, if is reflective of the company culture and how they treat their customers. It was uncalled for, embarrassing and felt like discrimination. read more
