These Are the Best Temecula Valley Wineries to Visit

"Set on a picturesque hilltop with seasonal views of snow-capped mountains in several directions, Monte de Oro is one of the area's more heavily visited wineries, and it has a massive tasting room (with a glass floor view of the barrel cellar) to accommodate the traffic." - Richard Nalley

Nice winery and great value tasting with live music in the general seating area. Beautiful views. At the Bistro, I surely recommend the flat iron steak sandwich which was prepared perfect. Comes with Side salad and delicious dressing

Great place to hang around for a weekend getaway. Nice backyard for wine tasting and only done side is need to walk back and forth TK get your own wine selection after one and another. Most wine tasting will bring all selections to your table. Overall great place to go for weekend getaway ✌️

I absolutely love this beautiful winery! I also love the member perks! I feel I get an education on the wines with each tasting! Madison, and Mary are awesome teachers! I love the reds, and HIGHLY recommend you try a taste of the 2017 Petite Sirah Reserve as well as the double gold metle 2019 Cabernet Franc! The outside area has tables with umbrellas amidst a beautiful fountain overlooking the hills of vineyards!! A MUST TRY!!

Great wine, great food, and a super friendly ambiance! I came with a couple of friends to grab a quick bite and some wine. I had the grille chicken gyro and house fries and we shared some hummus. Man, the food was amazing. In terms of the wines, we had the Cabernet Frac (great strong red) and Unique Elements (chilled and sweeter). The best late Saturday lunch ever! The views from the winery are to die for too. This is the place to bring a date or to chill with friends. Won't be disappointed.

Uniqueness: Quick service and good kitchen, but wine quality has declined Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] (Fast service, no long waits) Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] (Surprisingly good kitchen for a winery) Service: [x][x][x][x][x] (Efficient and friendly) Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] (Nice views, easy parking) Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] (Fair pricing, but wine isn't as good as before) This winery used to be better, especially when it comes to the quality of their wines. The reserve flights are definitely the best option, as the standard wines don't stand out much anymore. While the wine itself is decent but not amazing, the quick service and good food make up for it. The kitchen is surprisingly good, offering a solid selection of dishes that pair well with the wine. Service is efficient and friendly, and parking is easy, which is a nice bonus. The views are decent, though not the most spectacular in the region. Overall, it's a good spot for a casual tasting and meal, but if you're primarily here for the wine, there are better options in the area.

It's been some time but my return to Monte De Oro Winery was very enjoyable because the staff remembered me and being a Monday the atmosphere was pleasant and calm which allowed me to utilize my five senses during the tasting. Mary was instrumental in making the experience extraordinary and enjoyable. Great conversation, overall knowledge of the wines presented, and background on the past and present of the winery. Plan to attend the Temecula Crush Event later in the year hosted on this spacious property. The wines were delicious and reminiscent of years past.

Celebrated my engagement at this lovely winery and we really enjoyed our experience. The views were perfect for sipping a glass and soaking in the scenery. Plus, the price point was super reasonable for the quality of wine you're getting. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for a relaxed, enjoyable experience with great wine and beautiful surroundings. One thing to keep in mind if you're visiting the winery during busier times or on weekends: there's usually a 30-minute wait for food and service can be a bit slow. It's totally expected, but definitely worth the wait!

Came here a few times since my cousins are members and I have to say, their service is top notch. Super friendly and helpful! I know why my cousins are members and always have our family gatherings here. Hope to come back soon. We enjoyed their reds but my favorite was the Syrah Reserve of the 3 we tried. 5 stars also for allowing kids here.

Friday, June 21: My friend Maureen and I came for another fun evening of Bingo! The weather outdoors was a little warm but as soon as evening hit it was perfect! It wasn't a full house, which was surprising. This time I did not buy extra raffle tickets and held on to the three tickets that came with the price of admission. We both opted for a glass of Muscat Canelli , yummy! I finally was able to call out Bingo and do was Maureen! I can't believe I finally won! Always a good feeling to leave with your hands full! We really appreciate the entire staff especially Madison! She was so sweet & friendly and she handled the wine pouring. Maureen bought a bottle of the Muscat. It was so much fun we plan on returning next month!

What an amazing experience! We arrived on a Friday, about two hours before closing, and while it wasn't too crowded, the bar area was definitely cozy. But the incredible staff made up for it right away--our group was greeted with warm smiles and prompt service so we could jump right into tasting. Ken and Mary were absolute gems! Their fun banter and wealth of knowledge made the whole experience so entertaining and engaging. They truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. And Riley? He was fantastic! His tour was packed with interesting facts about the winery's history and the winemaking process, and he made learning so much fun with his kindness and enthusiasm. I honestly can't wait to go back--this was hands down one of the best wine tasting experiences ever!

Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon for a tasting and quick lunch. We ordered the poke nachos, truffle fries and steak sandwich. There was plenty of seating outside and the weather was nice. The food came out rather quickly and the truffle fries were the star of the show. My only complaint would be that there was very little fish for the amount of nachos they served us, even if the nacho portion was a bit smaller, it would have made a big difference.

This is such a beautiful place to come just for photos and sips of wine! The service here is impeccable! The ambiance is so relaxing and peaceful! There are plenty of outdoor sedating to watch the sunset!

I've been here a few times. Wine is good and food is as well. Today, I walked in, ordered food and walked over to grab a glass of wine, and was told there are out of clean wine glasses? I've never been to a winery where they didn't have clean wine glasses. Guess I won't be enjoying any wine here today. Update on sane visit... only received half my food order. Had to go ask for help. Hard to enjoy a meal together with my party when everyone doesn't receive their food.

I came here on a Wednesday for lunch and had a great experience. The wine was great and we sat outside. The patio was beautiful and has one of the best views in Temecula Wine Country. We ordered the strawberry salad and the Goat Cheese, Pepperoni, and Hot Honey Pizza. Both were absolutely to die for!!

Had lunch at the Bistro cafe. The place is beautiful! Looks like a palace and overlooks vast valley & hilltops. The service was quick and probably the fastest BLT ever served in history. We also ordered the steak salad and the hummus appetizer. I'd have to say the food was just ok in comparison to other local winery cuisine. It was good but not phenomenal. Service was pleasant and the views were breathtaking. We got a chance to sit in the sun. Wonderful afternoon!

I went here for the first time it was highly recommended on google. Me and my boyfriend went to the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend, very mid food for the price and service was very slow (waiter did not even check on us I felt like we were being ignored) even though there were only about 3 other couples there. Also if you're a champagne or white wine type I would definitely not recommend. Staff seemed unhappy to be there inside the winery. As an interior designer I also expected a bit more quality looks wise. If you're looking for a good winery with friendly staff and good food I would highly recommend Monte De Oro.

The view here at this winery is absolutely stunning! I'm not really into their wines, but I saw a lot of people purchasing bottles of wine here to take home. I think the food is really delicious (made with tons of butter!) but the prices are outrageous, sadly. $20 for pretzel bites and a side of cheese (that really didn't seem like real cheese but more of a fake cheese dip) although it was delicious. The meatballs were about $23 for about 3 of them. To be a wine club member, you're looking at at least $400/year for the less expensive package. Although the ambience was worth it, the syrupy wines and over priced food wasn't.

I tried this place out about a month ago for the wine tasting menu as well as the charcuterie board. I tried a lot of charcuterie boards and I really enjoyed this one! The wines were great, the vibes were great, and the weather was perfect outside. There's plenty of space on the outside with a great view of the vineyard. The staff were very friendly and explained each of the wines to us very nicely. I see that they are Temporarily closed, but I hope they open back up soon!

Honestly! Not one bad thing I can say about this winery. Phenomenal! Gorgeous views, kid friendly, yummy food and good atmosphere. Staff were polite and informative with their wine. Stand, sit inside or out and don't forget to just take it all in with landscape. Ordered some truffle fries and did a few tastings before grabbing a full glass of my favorite red here. Definitely add this one to your must stops!

This is one of our very favorite Temecula wineries which has it all - excellent wines and food, super friendly servers (especially Becca!), a gorgeous tasting room and an expansive patio with stellar views. We were so impressed with all of the above, that we joined on our first visit. Monte de Oro has become the perfect weekly meeting place for our rather large (14+ people) wine social group. The tasting room is a stunning area to gather in, with a huge palladian window showcasing the soaring views. We usually end up on the beautiful huge patio which is comfortable year-round, thanks to shading/breezes in the summer and heaters in the winter, along with some large tables to accommodate our group. Let's face it - there are many Temecula wineries with great wines, food and views...the difference at MdO is the staff! While all the servers are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, Becca consistently goes above and beyond and is truly a gem and such a ray of sunshine at this very special winery.an

Monte de Oro Winery is one of the better vintners here in the Temecula Valley wine growing region. Temecula is still very young and is absolutely not in the coastal wine growers league... Santa Barbara and Palos Robles are much larger and successful. But Monte de Oro has some nice wines, that have won a variety of awards, which makes coming here much easier on the palate. Tastings run $20 for six and $30 for nine, including three of their "Reserve" wines, which we found to be very good. See photos of wine choices. Penny our pourer and sommelier, was friendly and very knowledgeable. We also stayed for a late lunch and bought a bottle of their sweet rosé (photo). Their food Menu is somewhat limited, but very good. We went with the meatballs, pizza and Truffle Fries.

Have to give this place 5 stars! We came here for wine tasting and used the "SIP Passport" tickets. The lady at the wine bar was very friendly and happy to help us. We were advised to pick a table and come back to the bar when we were ready for the next round of tastings. At the point we came we were quite hungry, so we decided to have lunch along with our tasting. OMG the bacon cheeseburger was no joke the best burger I have ever had!! It was a HUGE portion. I loved that they used bacon bits versus strips as it allowed bacon in every bite along with the most delicious jalepeno aioli! The chips were quite tasty as well. As far as wine goes we enjoy most of what we tried. The bottles were reasonable priced and there were bottles available for low and high price ranges. We ended up getting 4 bottles as they were having a "Buy 3 get 1 for $.17" for St Paddy's week. I can't quite speak to the view and location as it was super rainy and cloudy when we came to Monte De Oro, but I'd imagine it would be beautiful on a sunny day and would have loved to sit on the patio!

Super impressed with Monte De Oro Winery. The selection of wine is awesome; and when you couple that with the quality of wine makes this winery a must visit when planning your Temecula wine trip. There is so much patio seating all with amazing views of the vineyards. The interior has multiple bars to stand and taste or grab a glass or bottle and take it to your table. The servers and pourers are absolutely amazing, very helpful. They give very good recommendations and I can't wait to return.

My husband's and my tastes in wine vary widely, so this was a great spot to share a tasting--he got his heartier reds that included a Tempranillo (which he bought to take home), and I got my sweet Moscato and port. The location and view are beautiful, especially if the weather is nice enough to sit on the patio. The only downside was just one server for several individuals or couples tasting, so the wait between pours was a little long. Not her fault, and it was a Thursday afternoon so I wouldn't expect a lot of staff--but having a second person on call to pour would have been helpful. The stamped grapevine images in the walkways were a small thing, but they added a nice, finished touch. Worth a visit.

I had friends visiting from out of town and we were all disappointed by our visit to this winery. This was our 4th one this weekend so had a good comparison. It was very hot out that day and I knew they had a large lobby area with A/C so I figured this may be a good spot to taste indoors and stay cool. The ambiance on the outside is nice so no complaints there but when we got inside the girl checking people in was eating her snacks while she was telling us about the tasting options. She didn't offer much information unless we kept on asking probing questions. Once we got to the tasting room, the young gentlemen at the counter didn't offer any information about the wines, he just said, "what can I get for you"? as if we were at a bar. He later admitted he didn't drink wine and hadn't tasted many. It was clear he did not have much knowledge about the wine. He was pouring. We all just ordered an individual tasting and wanted to learn about the wines. There was no engagement with us or asking if we've been there before or gave us some information on any of the wines, in fact, we saw him yawning several times while he was waiting for other guests. The lady that was pouring next to him was 1000% better and more engaged, and it was obvious by the crowd she had around her waiting for her to pour and it was clear no one wanted to go to the young man. For such large tasting room there were little tables and chairs for the amount of guest it could handle and there was quite a few people looking for a place to sit and fighting over tables. It was obvious they take care of their members and more of the attention was put in the member area versus the regular walk-in patrons. That is understandable, however, you would think they would still want to offer walk-in guest good service in order to convert them to new members or buy bottles. We were trying to track down staff to get some more stools for our table and my friends saw one of the servers/food runners near the bathrooms eating nachos off of a guests plate before he delivered it to their table and he saw that we caught him and gave a smirky smile. Clearly that's a common practice. It felt there was no management presence or care for their guests. The wine itself wasn't bad but was overpriced for the service provided. Also, the bathrooms were dirty and not maintained and it just felt like an overall lack of care. If I was the owner I would be embarrassed and mad of the staff that was running this place. It would be more understandable if it was a slow, mid-week day but it was a peak weekend afternoon, and it looked like a bunch of young kids running the place, who really didn't care. It was a big disappointment and we would not recommend this winery unless you decide to become a member and maybe you can get better service. If a manager reads this, we were there Sun, Aug 11 between 1-3pm. I think it has potential with the right staffing, management and training. The craziest thing was that guy eating off of somebody's food, it was disgusting. Also, you should not have so pouring wine if they don't drink it or know anything about the wine. Most people come out winetasting and want to know a little bit about the varietals, where the wine was grown or what the winery is known for and if you're not able to answer those basic questions you shouldn't be Pouring. Unfortunately, there are too many other choices that we will not be back, I hope this was a one off and not a normal experience.

Between the two of us, we split the 9 pour wine tasting, which included 3 premium wines. It's a small tasting bar, but it wasn't crowded so we didn't have to wait long between pours. Our server was friendly and willing to give details, but I think she gauges her responses based on the person's knowledge of wines and I appreciated that. The grounds are beautiful and we felt comfortable taking are pours outside and sit by the fountains- very relaxing and quiet.

Best wine in Temecula I've been drinking Monte wine for years. My favorites are their Syrahs and Zins. Try Simplexity for a well balanced and creatively complex red blend. Today we ordered their goat cheese and hot honey pizza and it is to die for! You just can't go wrong here.

I recommend to dine in Old Town first for a good meal and then drive here for wine tasting. Amazing views at golden hour and large outdoor space for relaxing wine tasting. The ladies wine pouring were friendly and informative with wines. Nice gift store and bought a couple of snacks. Came here on a Friday from 2-5pm not crowded and plenty of seating outside

Lovely place! I will be coming back to this winery when visiting Temecula, California again. I truly enjoyed the wine tasting experience. It was great! The person helping us out was extremely knowledgeable on what she was serving us. One of my favorite wines was the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Pinot Noir! Both strong, rich, dry, with a semi sweet taste. Their vineyard view is superb! Beautiful weather with wine and dark chocolate is the best!

We were excited to go to try a new winery. When we arrived, parked and walked to the entrance , we found the entrance to be far from the lot. The building and the decor is very outdated. It feels like your visiting grandma's house. We walked up to the winery bar to taste and immediately noticed many of their bottles on display were covered with dust. My party was pleasantly surprised by the taste and variety of wines. My favorite taste is simplexity, which is a red blend. My daughter loved the Syrah: smooth and delicious. We ordered a honey goat cheese pizza but were disappointed because the crust was frozen - didn't seem fresh. We also ordered the poke nachos and sadly, it was a huge disappointment. The dish consisted of ALL chips w a toss of minced ahi and a smearing OF mayo aoli. We ended our lunch with the humus platter, which i recommend. It was different. fresh, and delicious. The best thing about the winery is the wine! I loved the brut: not sweet but fruity. Many of their reds are tasty. I would recommend this winery based on the quality and taste of their reds.

My friends and I visited Monte de Oro today. We were a group of 4 and two of the group are wine club members. We sat in the members only area and ordered complimentary glasses of wine, wine members flights, and food from the bistro. The wine bar server was totally overwhelmed when we got there - only one server for the entire facilty - with the members only bar closed. We got our glassesof wine and sat down and waited for our food and wine flights. A man from another table (I won't call him a gentleman) came over and said we were too loud. We were watching a video about a comedian performing to decide if we wanted to buy tickets to an upcoming event the comedian was appearing at. Our video wasn't loud at all but you could tell he was a conservative comedian and the man who approached our table didn't like what he heard. We were a bit shocked but shut off our video. The table he was sitting at was extremely loud - laughing and carrying on. We didn't approach his table but were shocked that they felt we were too "loud" while they were being obnoxious. We waited for our food for a bit and the server came with the food but with no silverware or extra plates for pizza so we waited until he brought them out to us. It was quite chilly outside and there were no regular tables in the winery with chairs so we had to sit outside. We asked for them to turn on the heaters and were told they couldn't turn on the heaters. It was windy and about 65 degrees so the request wasn't unreasonable but we were denied. We kept waiting for our wine flights and they never came so one of our group went inside and the wine bar server had no one she was waiting on but our flights were just sitting on the counter. She said we should just take them so our friend brought them out to us. Positives - good food that was fresh and tasted great Cons - service was poor, patrons were rude, atmosphere was bad (cold outside with no available indoor seating) I've been to this winery many times and have enjoyed myself but our visit today was not good.

I had visited Monde De Oro a few times in the past and always had a great experience. Last week, I booked a table for their Valentine's Day dinner event. Having never dined there, I wasn't sure what to expect. Every aspect of the evening was brilliant. The waitstaff were outstanding. There were four different types of wine on the prix fixe menu. We ordered a bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon. When aked by our waiter if we liked, I replied "it's OK". He then asked what could be better. I explained I thought it was a bit watery and not full bodied (promise I am not a wine snob), more like a Pinot Noir. He made us an offer to bring another type of wine even though it was not on the menu for our evening. We were able to taste it before he popped the cork. I find this type of service rare. We were not charged extra. As for the food, it was delicious, a charcuterie board, a prawn salad and a delicious and cooked to perfection top sirloin steak. The ambiance was great, not too crowded and well staffed. A five star evening.

We were married at Monte de Oro in September and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience! First, the event manager, Brittany Roderick was the best to work with - she was easygoing and professional during the entire process, and made us feel very welcome. We booked over a year in advanced and communicated throughout the process. Brittany was quick to answer any questions as well as offer advice. You couldn't ask for a nicer person to work with Brittany exceeded our expectations. The rest of the staff was friendly and helpful. All of our guests had a great time. The venue itself is beautiful, inside and out. Monte de Oro only allows one wedding per day and being the only wedding on site was a huge plus. We absolutely recommend Monte de Oro without hesitation!

This winery is set in a beautiful location. Staff is friendly. Wines are all good my favorite as a white drinker was the Chardonnay. Fours stars because of the food , my fries were overly salty and the flatbread was just ok , I expected more flavor. Needs a spice factor.

You can't beat the price for the reserve wine tasting list. I can't remember the employee that we always went back to, but she was amazing! After getting a drink, we would go outside to enjoy the view. The selection red and reserve wines are delicious. There was a sale going on at the time so I bought 3 bottles. Definitely returning!

The last winery I went to and it was probably the most disappointing. I did have a reservation but there was no way to differentiate between walk-ins or reservations. There was a wine club member who kept pushing for a seat and they ended up accommodating her and her friend and then there was a pretty buzzed group of 10 who also kept trying to find loopholes or an exception for them to get in. Despite having a reservation they had no idea where to seat us. We eventually got seated out as far as we could. Our server came by and after ordering the mixed flight he came by with it. He spilled a small but noticeable amount of the red and then just gave us a quick rundown of the wines and left. The only other time I saw him near our table was when I flagged him down to just close out and leave. The whole experience from start to finish was just pretty meh and definitely could have been better.

The outdoor views of this spot is really what makes it. It is a pretty big space with plenty of outdoor seating which is great on a nice sunny day. We each did a tasting and I enjoyed everything I tried except the rosé was a little sweet for my taste. I will say the service was mehh they didn't seem really helpful or educated on the wines when we asked for suggestions. Overall we still enjoyed our time and the food coming out for others all smelled great.

I have visited this winery quite a few times and I must say it is truly wonderful! The staff is always very welcoming, inviting, and friendly. The wines I have tasted are delicious and the food is delicious too! We even hosted my Father's 70th birthday at the winery and I could not have asked for a more lovely and personal experience. We were all treated like family and it is clear that the staff truly care about their patrons, whether you have been there once or a hundred times. The parking is easy and the views are beautiful too! I highly recommend Monte De Oro for a perfect wine tasting experience.

my name is danny: I think this place is worth at least 7 mil. 5 football fields of grapes makes for an impressive mix of grapes by a local (master winemaker) expert we refer to as owner david; great wine, great experience, and great pride into the humble gem this place is. btw, aesthetics (+), wine (+++).

I came in with my husband on 07/06/24 and the wine was pretty good. The outside was nice because they had misters and it was pretty hot. We had ordered a charcuterie board and it had been about 30min. Mind you there were people around us he came in after and had received some of their food already. So I had gone to see why it was taking a while and the girl at the entrance goes and checks for me. I'm thinking it'll come in 5 min or so. But no there's all the tables around us that we're getting their food and another 20 min pass by and still nothing. My husband was furious at this point since all the tables around us had receive their boards and we still hadn't received anything. So he went up and requested for a refund. So I have no idea how the food tasted but I do recommend going to THE CELLAR great service and amazing food and not over priced.

Great wine, great food, and a super friendly ambiance! I came with a couple of friends to grab a quick bite and some wine. I had the grille chicken gyro and house fries and we shared some hummus. Man, the food was amazing. In terms of the wines, we had the Cabernet Frac (great strong red) and Unique Elements (chilled and sweeter). The best late Saturday lunch ever! The views from the winery are to die for too. This is the place to bring a date or to chill with friends. Won't be disappointed.
