We came for my dad's birthday and Miramonte was our first experience at a Temecula winery.
They have a spacious patio, but for being perched high on top of a hill, there are no views to be had. The grounds are not very roam-friendly so you're a little relegated to your table.
The menu at Miramonte is very Mediterranean influenced with lots of hummus and olives etc. For the table, we shared the following:
-pesto burrata ($25): fresh burrata covered in a hazelnut basil pesto with arugula, tomato, onion, lemon vinaigrette and balsamic reduction served with a toasted baguette
-charcuterie board ($42): rotating selection of imported cured meats & house-made hummus with mustard, dried fruit, cheese, olive tapenade and crispy bread
-BBQ herb roasted chicken flatbread ($22): herb-roasted chicken, bacon, red onion, tomato, Asiago and mozzarella with house-made ranch
-Mediterranean nachos (*special)
Of the things we ordered, the pesto burrata was quite tasty. I don't know why pesto is such a popular menu thing in Temecula, but I'm not mad. The pesto and burrata combination was unexpectedly very good especially on the little piece of toast. My family also enjoyed the Mediterranean nachos which are basically just pita chips topped with things like feta, cucumbers, and olives.
This was a good for a first time experience, but there wasn't anything particularly special about the winery. The food and vibes were just okay. Nothing to write home about.
