We had driven up to this winery once before, but turned around because it looked like there was no…read moreone there, and it didn't appear very inviting. This time around, we were committed to giving it a try based on positive reviews. When we entered the tasting room, the small bar area was completely full with a large group. There is no where to sit, so our party of 3 stood around a small table in the back. The tasting room was rather warm, and although they do have a small section of outdoor seating, we were not able to sit outside because of the larger parties inside. There was only 1 person working, and although she was nice, we felt a bit overlooked as she focused her attention on the group around the bar. When she came over to us, we let her know we were there for a tasting, and she told us we would pay up front and she would bring us our glasses. We paid her, and she brought the wine list and poured our first tasting. I noticed the list was all red wines and asked her if they had any whites, to which she responded by saying no, they only had reds. I wished she had mentioned this before charging us. I love red wine, but on this particular occasion, a 90 degree day, I would have preferred white wine. We had already paid, so we decided to make the best of it, and tried all 5 wines. I can't lie, they were very good! We especially liked the Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah, but we noticed the pours weren't consistent. Some pours were smaller than others. We all agreed the server was a nice lady, and the wines were very good, but it just wasn't the most relaxing or inviting experience. If we wanted either a glass or bottle of good red wine we would consider this winery, but for variety, or a membership, we would try somewhere else.

Loved that she tasted the wine before she poured it to make sure it was as good. The view was beautiful! Hate to share to the public because I don't want them to run out of wine since they do small amounts. I must return again.

Three nights and four days in their comfy and cozy "Vineyard Suite" was the perfect birthday gift! The suite boasts of rich and vibrant earth tones that delight your senses, and seamlessly connects with a charming private patio, beautiful landscape of meandering grapevines, picturesque morning sunrises and evening sunsets, and a skyline of colorful and entertaining hot air balloons! The suite features an atmospheric fireplace, velveteen blackout drapes, and extremely comfortable bedding! I especially liked the spacious layout of the luxurious shower and bathroom! The suite has the cutest kitchenette niche of amenities and goodies: filtered water, microwave (with dishes and cutlery), fridge (filled with a variety of thirst quenchers!), sink, yummy snacks, and a nice selection of Domaine Chardonnay Wines! Last, but certainly NOT least, is the scrumptiously delicious hot gourmet breakfast prepared fresh daily by the delightful Innkeeper Assistants (Ana and Bruna) and delivered to your suite! Pampering doesn't get much better than this! The hospitality of the owners (Laura and Mike) is second to none! Which is why I've celebrated my birthday three years in a row at this impressively gorgeous 2025 Xenia Innkeeper's Choice Award-winning Temecula Valley Winery Estate!!! So deserving!!! Thank you, Laura, Mike, Ana and Bruna, for another especially memorable birthday celebration! You are simply the BEST--Better Than All The Rest! I'm already looking forward to my next amazing stay at my home away from home!!!

On a recent visit, we got to meet winemaker Stephen Andrews in his Temecula Hills Winery tasting…read moreroom in Old Town Temecula. I only tasted the Raspberry Champagne (Andrews worked on the popular Almond Champagne from Wilson Creek before branching out on his own). Made with Chenin Blanc grapes, this crisp sparkling wine has a sweet raspberry tang ($14.95). The real highlight though, was tasting the wonderful olive oils and vinegars (most) made by Andrews as well -- with the creator himself narrating the tasting. At least three plain olive oils, yet each with a distinct peppery or nutty flavor. Then, onto the flavored oils($20): jalapeno, Meyer lemon, orange and -- my very favorite -- basil were the ones that stood out the most. Of the vinegars ($16), there's an Estate Cabernet vinegar made with grapes from the winery and a delicious fig balsamic which is sourced from another bottler which were good enough to get me to part with some cash... I was impressed with Andrews' ability with flavors and look forward to returning when he launches a food menu with offerings ideal for pairing with his wines!

We enjoy stopping by for glasses and to chat with their servers, who after a while we have gotten to know quite well. Good news is their tasting room will move to their Pauba location and their servers will move there too! Phil and Carol Baily and their family have created a welcoming winery with some pretty good wines. We are glad their legacy will continue on here in Temecula Valley Wine Country. A new owner will take over this location and will renovate to make it their own. So when driving along Rancho California you will still see this castle like building as a backdrop to our wine country.

The winery is beautiful and peaceful, with views that make it easy to relax and spend a couple of hours. There are plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating options.

Definitely a must-visit winery in the Temecula region, consistent.

It was actually suggested to us by another vineyard, and we're so glad we took their recommendation. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. Caroline made our tasting experience unforgettable with her warm personality, genuine conversation, and incredible knowledge of the wines. She took the time to explain each pour without ever making us feel rushed, creating a relaxed and personal experience. The wines were outstanding from start to finish, but the dry reds were the true stars. Rich, bold, beautifully balanced, and full of flavor--they easily ranked among the best wines we tasted in Temecula. It's clear that Lorenzi takes great pride in producing high-quality red wines, and it shows in every glass. The winery is especially known for its selection of bold reds, which is exactly what we were hoping to find. (Temecula Wines) Great wine, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere made this one of the highlights of our trip. A huge thank you to Caroline (Carolyn?) for making our visit so memorable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Temecula!

My group of 9 gals stopped by Briar Rose Winery as part of our Bachelorette Party Day in Temecula…read more Briar Rose Winery is a beautiful, family-owned and operated vineyard and definitely worth the trip out here. If you're looking for a hidden gem, this is it! It's all in the details; the cobblestone exterior, the paved paths, the scenic view, how the sun peaks through the trees, just wow! They had multiple options of wine tasting; you can pick from a mixed white and red wine tasting, or a full red, or white tasting. You can also order a bottle or glass by itself if you don't want the full tasting. As a gal who doesn't dabble in the fine art of tasting wine or drinking alcohol, they also had a couple delicious sparkling fruit drink options for me and a couple of other gals in my party, which was sweet, and delicious. The gals said they absolutely loved the Riesling white wine and it was perfectly sweet. I was able to book the whole experience and the table seating online on their website, and the whole process was easy. They email you a confirmation right away and all we did was show up. Upon checking in, we just informed one of the team members we have arrived and they let us pick our table outside. The reservation did note there would be a tour of some sort first, but that wasn't offered upon our arrival but that's okay! It is a bit hard to get ahold of someone on the phone, but I had a great experience speaking to their AI on the telephone and didn't notice until a minute into the phone call that they are AI. Talk about technology over here, woo! The AI was able to answer all my questions around where to park, are there signs directing us to the winery, if our party can have both wine-drinkers and non-drinkers, they answered it all and was spot on. Their winery also offers a fun shopping experience inside and put out these cottage-core long dresses and lacey tops you can try on and purchase. It looked like it was personally curated and it definitely had my gals and I hooked from the start. The only thing is that there is only 1 changing room, that is also the bathroom, so the line was always long and you would feel bad for taking too much time in there if you want to try things on. The team here made sure we were comfortable and even helped us take photos, and treated us very well for our first visit. All of us had a great time and left with a bottles of wine to take home!
