    This place is always one of my favorite stops whenever I'm in Temecula. The atmosphere and overall vibe are hard to beat and I love their sparkling wine. It's become a tradition for me to visit every time I'm in wine country and it never disappoints.

    The library menu

    Wilson Creek definitely lived up to the hype! We had such a great time and can't wait to go back. We did the Library Wine Tasting, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a more elevated, relaxing experience. The upstairs library has a cozy atmosphere that made the tasting feel extra special. The food was just as impressive as the wine! The charcuterie board had a delicious variety of cheeses and meats, and the hummus board was one of my favorite parts. The veggies were incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the hummus was so good we couldn't stop eating it. Every wine we tasted was delicious. At one point, our server asked if we wanted to try something fun, and of course we said yes! He made us what he called a "Jolly Rancher" by mixing the Watermelon Sparkling wine with the Lemoncello Sparkling wine, and it was so refreshing and delicious. Definitely ask for it if you're there! We loved everything so much that we ended up buying several bottles, plus a few fun items from the gift shop downstairs. They have a beautiful wine room and lots of great merchandise to browse. I also recommend joining the wine club. The membership comes with complimentary tastings, discounts on wine, and savings on special tasting experiences. As a wine club member, I was able to do the Library Wine Tasting for just $20, and my guests were also only $20 each, which made it an incredible value. Beautiful winery, amazing wine, delicious food, and friendly service. Already looking forward to our next visit!

    I love coming here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a chill and relaxing atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good way to spend a lazy Sunday. Some food, wine and life music with family and friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back to this winery.

    Wilson Creek Winery is a popular winery that spans 90 acres in Temecula Wine Country. It was founded in 1996 and has a huge space, private residences, restaurants, and covered patios. You buy a tasting card at the counter and then you can try any six wines on their menu. Their most popular is the almond sparkling wine and they offer a variety of other flavors. We tried lots of different wines including the sauvignon blanc and petite sirah but our favorites were the different sparkling wines. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was less of a quiet wine-tasting vibe and more like a party-vibe. There were tons of people and we saw a lot of bachelorette parties. The music was loud and there was a fun social vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were still some vineyards that you could walk through and take pictures, but the core of the action is where the food and drinks are.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though it was geared toward adults I saw a lot of kids and strollers around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We spent a couple hours here drinking the different wines and relaxing at the table. It was fun to people-watch and just enjoy the experience and energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are coming to Temecula Wine Country, this should be one of the places on your list to visit.

    Rosario was AMAZING!! It was my first time ever going wine tasting, and she made the experience truly unforgettable. She was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and made everything fun and easy to enjoy. I couldn't have asked for a better first wine tasting experience. Thank you, Rosario! I can't wait to come back!

    This is always our gotta-stop-here perfect break up the drive from here to there for any girls' weekend away that brings us anywhere close to Temecula. We've wine tasted before, but we know what we like and went straight for a couple bottles of White Cab. It's like sunshine in every sip! I love that they sink the bottles in a deep bucket of ice. Nothing better than a frosty pour on a warm day! Inside there's plenty of wine-thematic, seasonal items, and souvenirs for those who love useful, beautiful, or humorous gifts. Also inside the spacious building are the wine tasting and ordering bars. Friendly and knowledgeable folks are there to answer any questions and provide insight into your pour. Outside is the place for us! A beautiful day, warm sunshine, a gentle breeze in a beautiful setting? And the owner's dog!!! Yes please! We got there just a few minutes after opening, so we had our pick of the place for our desired seating. Pristine clean bathroom, immaculate grounds, plenty of parking, and easy access to the winery are all noteworthy. I will note we got here on a Friday a few minutes after opening. When we left, the place was filling up quickly! Come early if you can for maximum chillaxing. It's a great place to spend an afternoon with friends! Great conversation and before we knew it, it was time to be on our way. But rest assured, we'll be back again.

    Library room with charcuterie
    Christine L.

    Okay a long over due review. I have been here more times than I count. Although, I'm not a member myself, I've made it into their promotional videos that's how often I'm there I've attended with members before and love the benefits of their membership like monthly wine bottle pick ups and free tastings for guests, I just couldn't drink all that wine myself so that's why I opt out of the membership. You can do a simple wine tasting downstairs and walk around the property, up into the vineyards or find a comfortable seat in the courtyard. My favorite experience is the doing the sit down wine tasting in the Library Room and ordering a charcuterie board to share. Yes, this tasting is a little more expensive than the downstairs experience but way worth it. An air conditioned room and champagne upon arrival makes this experience memorable from the start. In the library room you can sample wines that are not offered downstairs but my go to favorite is the white cab. Many of the staff have been on property for years now and if you're lucky you'll meet the family's dogs! Weekends are often packed (it feels like a whole party with kids running around and multiple bachelorette parties celebrating near you) and weekdays tend to be slower and more calm. Wilson also has evening concerts and live music. Other points, they have a restaurant, a walk up snack bar with a wine slushy (not my favorite but my friends love it on a hot day), they'll celebrate your special occasions with you and even shuttle you back to your car. Always a good choice for a good time if it's your first time in Temecula or you're a sweet wine kind of girly.

    I absolutely love coming to Wilson Creek--it's easily one of my favorite wineries. It's definitely one of the more popular spots, and for good reason. They have a great selection of bubbly sparkling wines, and everything I've tried has been delicious. It's such a great place to bring family and friends to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and stroll through the vineyards. My all-time favorite is the sangria sparkling--it's a must-try! They have plenty of other options too, especially if you enjoy sparkling wines. The atmosphere is one of the best parts. It's beautiful and welcoming, though it can get pretty crowded on weekends. I personally prefer during the weekdays when it's a bit more quieter and you can really take your time enjoy everything. Overall, it's my go-to spot for great wine and a relaxing experience. Highly recommend this winery.

    Joy D.

    $30 for 6 wine tastings. Great flow and fun to navigate the wine tasting experience. Went here while on a retreat in Temecula. It was highly recommended. The restaurant food was ok lots of flies. There was one served on our dish/food (eww). Lively grounds, saw birthday celebrations, family gatherings, girl outings and so so much more. Great and generous service. Beautiful grounds and easy to maneuver. Great time!

    Celebrating her 21st birthday
    Delia E.

    Came to Wilson's Creek Winery to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and I'm so glad we chose this spot. From the moment we got there, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I had called ahead about bringing a cake because of the heat, and they were more than accommodating. When we arrived, they kindly took it and kept it in the fridge for us, which I really appreciated with how hot it was that day. Sonia at the front was amazing. I went up to her a few times throughout our visit and she was always so sweet, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. That kind of service really stands out. Between the service, the setting, and how well everything flowed, it's easy to see why this place is always at the top when you look up wineries in Temecula. The staff really makes the experience. We had such a memorable day. She was so happy, and that meant everything to me. Cheers to 21 and to a place that made it feel extra special. Highly recommend.

    This is the party and vibes winery if there ever was one. As soon as you walk up, it's like an ongoing celebration of life, community and wine. I can't really pin down the crowd-there's families complete with parents and their babies, you got the elderly, middle age, single men and women, of perhaps all backgrounds. That made things feel really welcoming. You could connect with just about anyone there. It wasn't so crowded that you couldn't move. We came in the late afternoon and were still able to find seats outside-in the sun-but we found seats. The parking lot can be packed-at least it was when we got there. We found parking near the end of the fence. Loved the energy, the variety of amenities and people. We got a bottle of wine in less than 3 minutes and were able to enjoy it out on the lawn together. There was a line for food, so I didn't try the eatery outside. Would love to come back and explore more

    I was recommended the Grapeline Wine Tour from the Front Desk agent that checked me in at the Embassy Suites. I can confirm I really enjoyed the tour! The individuals that were on the tour with me made it even more fun. Our tour guide and driver, Tony, was very knowledgable about the area, its history, and wine making. Wilson Creek Winery was our first stop of the tour. The winery is very nice and well kept. We walked over to Michael and Brian at the bar. They gave us some wine to start the tour off. They also acknowledged my birthday by giving me a necklace with a cork on it. Such a sweet gesture. "Motor City Mike" is an incredible teacher. He gave us a tour around the winery, educated us about viniculture and corks, and taught us about the Wilson's history. By the end of the tour, we had tasted five different wines already. I enjoyed all their wine and will definitely be back!

Our plan was to relax, make memories, have good food and wine, and experience the beauty of Temecula wine country. Miramonte was our first vineyard and we had dinner there on the patio. We got a table that didn't have a view and instead it was in the middle of the patio dining area. There were so many other guests around us and it was loud. At least it was shaded and I think there were misters...? So that made things enjoyable in terms of the heat. We ordered their pitcher of White Sangria (which was somewhere around $42-$48). It said there was going to be peach in the batch with other fruit. The result was frozen berries in a very water downed pitcher if white wine and ice. I hate to say this, but I have had better White Sangria at The Olive Garden. The one I make at home was 100 x's better. For food we ordered the Charcuterie Board, which was huge! That was a very impressive display of cured meats and cheeses. Totally loved the pickled vegetables! We also ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms, Oaxacan Pepperoni & Honey Flatbread, and Truffle Garlic Fries (I think they said "truffle," but I could ne wrong because all I tasted was garlic and parm). The Mushrooms were delicious! I would order that dish again, but then again I am a lover of mushrooms. At the end, I was surprised to not get any Bach party recognition. Most of the places we went to, my girls and I got perks for the celebration. I mean the hostess didn't even wish a "Congratulations." At least she was nice to get a group shot with the beautiful sunset. I am usual a 5-star giver and I feel bad giving this place a 2-star. Luckily some of the food was actually good, so thank goodness a 3-star is the final result. I mean Miramonte did set our bar very low for the rest of the wineries thus making the other ones we went to on our trip were supreme -- which were Akash and Ponte. Both Akash and Ponte were aaaaaaamazing!

    We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary vow renewal at Oak Mountain Winery, and it was…read moreabsolutely perfect. The Cave is breathtaking, and the entire team made us feel so welcomed and cared for from start to finish. Everything was beautifully organized, making our day completely stress-free and unforgettable. We loved it so much that we returned on the Fourth of July for dinner with our dog, and once again received exceptional service. The food, wine, and atmosphere were just as amazing. A special thank you to Ashlyn and the entire staff for going above and beyond to create memories we'll cherish forever. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set Oak Mountain Winery apart.

Upon arrival, the property checked one of my requirement boxes: paved parking. I cannot tolerate parking in dirt that removes the shine on my tires and rims. After some confusion, I finally arrived at the correct tasting room for non-members and began my tasting with assistance from Eric, a fine young gentleman who offered to guide me through my journey. He provided the history of the winery and the background of the various wines I sampled. I was not fond of their white wines, but their red wines possessed character, complexity, and depth. The price of the tasting was on the high end, but I enjoyed it all the same. The property is very large, and well-maintained, and also hosts a distillery, somewhat hidden in the form of a speakeasy of sorts. Didn't partake, but intend to return in the future to sample. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will give some thought to joining their membership. Great views atop the hill, and a mellow vibe. Thank you Eric! Great customer service.

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.

There were a few bridal parties present, but they did not interfere with our visit. We were easily able to find a table after purchasing our wine. Overall, this is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a laid-back afternoon. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, good music, and an easy, enjoyable wine experience--and I would definitely return on a future visit.

After finding the restaurant, we were promptly seated on the outdoor patio. The restaurant is entirely outdoors, and honestly, I can't imagine it any other way. The grounds are absolutely stunning--lush landscaping, beautiful architecture, and an atmosphere that feels like something out of a dream. The estate is expansive, yet it still feels peaceful and inviting. The service was excellent from start to finish. We were welcomed with warm bread served alongside the most incredible aioli, which was so good we found ourselves reaching for "just one more bite" before our meals even arrived. I ordered the truffle mushroom pizza, and it was phenomenal. The flavors were rich without being overpowering, and every bite was absolutely delicious. My mom chose the salmon sandwich, which was unique and unlike anything we'd had before. It was a creative dish that was both flavorful and beautifully prepared. Of course, being at a winery, we couldn't leave without enjoying some of their wines. They offer an impressive selection, making it easy to find something you'll love whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking to relax with a glass during lunch. Between the exceptional food, attentive service, incredible wines, and breathtaking setting, Ponte Winery was everything we hoped it would be. It's the kind of place where you could easily spend an entire afternoon enjoying the scenery and taking your time. I look forward to returning on my next trip to Temecula to explore even more of the estate and sample more of their wines.

We checked in with the host and she wrote our party name on a tag and added that we were celebrating her birthday too! She sat us on the patio in corner under misters which was perfect because it was hot today. Nicholas came to greet us and explain the tasting choices. He was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. We decided on different wine flights with lunch: Moscato, Vermentino and Barbera. We shared the Calamari, Brussels Sprouts and the Wine Country salad. The bread that was served with green spread was delicious. The soft cheesy herbaceousness was a perfect way to start a meal. It was so hot we requested many cups of ice to add to our water. All of our food arrived at once. I started with the salad and it was delightfully refreshing. I enjoyed the light batter on the calamari but I wasn't a fan of spicy tomato dip. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and salty. They were generous with the portion size. We had a long leisure lunch, all of the staff were attentive especially Nicholas, Trevor and Ashlee. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and I look forward to visiting it again when it's not so warm.
