    Brut at Leoness. 'Private Driver' said we couldn't afford. We hired a limo instead.
    Jaimes B.

    We contacted, "Jim" the owner / driver about driving us around to a few Temecula based wineries but our experience wasn't so Cozzi. We made plans with this driver and two days later a few friends who originally couldn't join us, were able to swing tickets to our wine-makers dinner making our group larger and now we needed a limo or larger vehicle for our group. Promptly we contacted Jim / private driver by phone leaving a voicemail and text message expressing that we had a change of plans; would contact him in the future and apologized for any inconvenience. [See the photo]. NOTE: we cancelled six days in advance. What happened next was beyond unprofessional. This is one angry dude: women beware. He sent multiple text messages, one stating that [not verbatim] "Since you can't afford a Temecula wine tasting tour".... [LOL, I just got back from New York and Canada]. Mr. Cozzi went on angry; " maybe you should go drink wine ...blah, blah, blah" [some nonsense]. Another Text: " Lose my number ", "you are a pain in the aXX" "you're a total waste of time, I don't value your business", "don't bother contacting me again". Very angry indeed. But worst than that text my friend's message some thing politically charged about being, "a snowflake" [Isn't that a term invented by some extremists? or politically charged] Very unprofessional, very angry and volatile. Be careful of any business that only accepts cash. Our plans were tentative, and our communication to cancel was not based on any certain contract solidified by a deposit, because you can't send a CASH deposit via e-pmt. Overall, this is an example of a very unprofessionally run, micro business. Poor etiquette. A real estate friend of mine and his partner are celebrating and planning to do a wine tour of Temecula after a small gathering at their new estate in De Luz and I had recommended this private driver. Unfortunately, after receiving these damning texts, my friends cancelled hiring Jim. The silver lining is that we had an awesome time in Temecula and enjoyed the beautiful views and an awesome dinner at "Leoness Cellars". Their brut champagne [sparkling wine] is excellent! Keep a few things in mind: [1] In the span of five + hours, just as in other visits to Temecula, there were no [none] CHP in the back country. Jim tried to hard sell me that the cops are everywhere up there. Why be tethered to a driver when you can easily drive yourself ?Enjoy a few leisurely paced days touring the unique wineries here. Jim's response below is a manufactured, complete lie. Final Note: in Jim's response, he originally stated that I must be competition, but then edited it lying that he "rejected this guy". The truth is in the displayed, rude and unhinged text message I have posted, which shows that in fact, we did have to cancel. This was due to having more people join. We simply told him that we had a change of plans, he never knew why until this review was posted.

    Fabulous experience on my trail horse Guiness.

    This was the first Wine Tour I've ever been on, and it was such a memorable and fun experience…read more Grapeline provided us with transportation to and from the three different wineries we went to, provided a great lunch for us, and excellent service and vibes. Amanda and Dave (firefighter Dave!) were our tour guides for the experience, and both were incredible. They arrived on time and provided us with great commentary about the history of the wineries we were going to as we were driving up to them. They then dropped us off with the winery staff, who were amazing at all three wineries we went to. Overall, Amanda and Dave made it a great experience for me and the party I was with. We were celebrating our friend's birthday on this tour, and they made her feel special, which made it a great memory on this trip!

    I was recommended the Grapeline Wine Tour from the Front Desk agent that checked me in at the…read moreEmbassy 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. They texted me the night before and the day of the tour reminding about the pick date & time. I really appreciated that they offer transportation. Tony picked me up from the hotel, along with other individuals of the tour, and he also dropped us off at the end of the tour. The drive was really fun because Tony let us take over the aux. He's also very knowledgable about the area, so we learned a lot about Temecula's history and other wineries during the drive. At the end of the tour, Tony even gave us dinner recommendations based on our preferences. Thank you Tony! We visited three different wineries: Wilson Creek Winery, Cougar Vineyard & Winery, and Fazeli Cellars Winery. My favorite winery from the three was Wilson Creek Winery. We tasted 6 wines at Wilson Creek, 5 wines at Cougar, and 6 wines at Fazeli! We had a guided tour by "Motor City Mike" at Wilson Creek. He 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. They also acknowledged my birthday by giving me a necklace with a cork on it. Such a sweet gesture. We did not have a guided tour at the other two wineries. Lunch was included. While booking on their website, you get to choose which sandwich you'd like. We ate lunch at the Cougar Vineyard & Winery. I chose the roast beef sandwich, and it comes with a side of salad and a brownie. The winery is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking. The best part is that they're pet-friendly! They even have adoption opportunities, and you can meet the puppies! I completely forgot the names of the wine I tasted, but I thought the wine was okay. Our last stop was at Fazeli Cellars Winery. The structure and outdoor area is very nice. Service is very courteous, attentive, and knowledgable. I thought it was unique because their wine contains interesting ingredients, especially the sweet wines. A friend I met on the tour ordered a flat bread, and we shared it. The flat bread was delicious and paired well with the wine. Highly recommend Grapeline Wine Tours! This was an unforgettable birthday experience. My only critique is that I prefer a guided tour at each winery because I'd like to learn more about its history, their own wine, and their own techniques in wine making.

    Purrfect end to a beautiful day. We were picked up at our hotel after our Hot air balloon ride…read more Itacia (host)and Rolando (driver) were awesome! Both were very pleasant and professional. With that being said we also had a fun! They adapted to our riders on the tour. It was a mix of what we thought were quiet reserved personalities, friends, couples and families. They kept our purchases and personal items safe so we didn't have to carry them around all day. Gathered the forgetful and happy tourist back to bus to keep us on time. The music on trolley had variety of range for everyone. During the trolley tour all had bonded and became very comfortable with each other. On the way back to hotel everyone feeling happy and relaxed enjoyed themselves bobbing our heads and dancing to the mix of music provided. Although I may never see our group. I enjoyed bonding, sharing and learning about their lives if just for that day. We visited three wineries all a different vibe. One small family owned gave a traditional tour (saw where they processed wine appreciated that because the others didn't) loved the drunk bunny story!!! Second modern & trendy (they served beer and had a very nice outdoors area). The third, larger more commercial and served food. Large selection of wine.

    Shawna and Carlos M. were absolutely incredible! From the moment we started, they created such a…read morefun, upbeat vibe that kept our whole group laughing, sipping, and enjoying every second. They curated a unique experience that felt personalized and special, and their energy made the entire day unforgettable.
