Briar Rose winery was magic 🌟
For Labor Day weekend, I wanted to get away somewhere I hadn’t been before, but was in a short driving distance. I did some googling and found Snow White’s cottage. I am a HUGE original Disney fan (things from Walt’s time), so I knew I had to visit.
When we arrived, even the parking lot had a view. You had a gorgeous view of all the vineyards below you, and Briar Rose itself was covered from the outside with this whimsical type of bush. You enter the bush and all of a sudden, you find yourself in Snow White’s garden, surrounded by her cute squirrel friends, wishing well, and her seven dwarves.
The original quaint cottage was built in the 1970’s by Disney imagineer Beldon Fields. While working for Disney, Beldon collected bits and pieces of Disney artifacts which made their way into the cottage. Some tiles from Mr. Toads, a rock from Indiana Jones, and a lantern from Haunted Mansion make the grounds so much more special.
Beauty aside, the wine tasting is delicious. We started out with a wonderful cracker and homemade cheese kit while we waited on our wine. We got one red wine tasting, and one white wine tasting before ordering a couple extra glasses to enjoy the scenery a bit longer.
I cannot recommend Briar Rose enough! Delicious wine, knowledgeable staff, and a view to die for. I’ll be coming back to Temecula just to enjoy the winery. 🍷
