So I know I am supposed to review the wine ( which are fabulous) but I have to mention the food and the staff for this review. Our servers Elliot, McKenna, and Mat where amazing! They were very knowledgeable, lively and made us feel at home. *quick note* they do not do tours of the cave on Tuesday. The food was top notch!! They have added some items to the menu which you MUST TRY! The poke was very tasty. I never had whipped feta before and now I am upset that I never had! The chicken tacos must have been slow cooked with love bc it was tender and juicy. Loved the empenada's but the crèmbrùlèè? WOW!! I forgot to mention the wine!! They have an amazing selection that everyone can enjoy. You can chill in the cave, main dining area or go outside on the patio or play cornhole and connect four. You won't be disappointed here. Guarunteed!!

The food lacked flavor, but the environment was nice. The service was slow but expected. The wine was nice. The avocado on the poke looked like it had been sitting out then they just mixed and reused. There were obviously brown spots on the avocado and lacked seasoning and flavor. Nice presentation, small serving.

Book your cave tour in advance. I highly recommend getting the espresso martinit in the speakeasy distillery. The chimmichurri fries and short rib was delicious. Good portion size for the price. The owners are so humble and down to earth. Great place for indoor and outdoor dining. Free valet parking

My husband and I recently visited this winery for our very first wine tasting tour—and to say it exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. We were in need of a little getaway, time to relax, reconnect, and just slow down. This experience gave us all of that and more. Our host, James, made the day unforgettable. He had the perfect balance of knowledge, humor, and storytelling that made the tour not only informative but truly enjoyable. We learned so much about the history of the winery, the winemaking process, and each individual wine we tasted—all while laughing, soaking in the beauty of the vineyard, and just being present. There’s something really special about being guided by someone who genuinely loves what they do, and James’s passion shined through in every moment. We left not just with some incredible bottles of wine, but with such full hearts. This experience reminded us to slow down and savor life—one sip at a time. Highly, highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back especially because we’re members now ;) see you soon James!!

WOW—what an incredible experience!! The food was absolutely delicious, the vibe was phenomenal, and the whole night was just unforgettable! I left feeling so refreshed—I just want to break the routine, enjoy some music, laugh, and LIVE a little. I’m definitely bringing friends next time who need a little escape. This place was IT!! YES, 100% doing this again!

The cave restaurant: What a great place. The Valet parking attendant was courteous and professional to start. We had reservations and what a nice place. Tana "Like Banana" was our server extraordinare and was professional, attentive and kind. We started with bread butter and drinks. We opted for Margaritas versus wine. I know but those winery has cocktails, beer and wine. The ambiance is spectacular with each table surrounded by beautiful oak crafted wine barrels. We had lunch with my wife having a grilled chicken salad and I had the short rib. Excellent food, service and people. Highly recommended

Oak Mountain Winery delivers a wide variety of wine and now spirits with its new distillery addition. The cave tour with Judy was wonderful. She was fun and knowledgeable showing us all over the property. There is plenty of parking most day. Saturday being the busiest day. January seems to be less busy with plenty of seating at the cave cafe and patio area. There’s also live music on weekends. The wine is delicious by the way. Thanks!!

We had a marvelous experience up at Oak Mountain winery. We particularly enjoyed the cave restaurant where the food was fantastic and the service even better. We had a hiccup or two along the way with other nearby vineyards, but we nestled in here and had the time of our life. Highly recommended!!!

The server Tana swayed a bad review into a very positive review when we were underserved wine for the tasting. She noticed it was under poured and gave us a free EXTRA tasting on top of the one we bought. That is what i call great customer service. I will 100% come back and recommend Tana as our server again. She is top notch.

Wanted a summer getaway so my boyfriend and I decided to spend a couple days in Temecula. We arrived on a early Wednesday afternoon and our first stop was Oak Mountain Winery. It was a beautiful winery with mountain and vineyard views. We did the wine tour through Groupon (half off for two) and I am so glad we booked a tour here. James was our tour guide. He was very personable, hilarious, and knows his history on wine and Temecula. I have been on wine tours before and never laughed this hard from our guide (and this was before our first tasting!). The tour included six tastings along with a meat and cheese charcuterie board. They had sage derby cheese which is one of my favorites and the chocolate paired well with the red wine. Towards the end of our wine tour, James offered to take pictures which I was happy because my boyfriend wouldn't have taken pictures if he didn't lol. Overall, JAMES will be the reason why we come back. I definitely would book another tour with him!

I had purchased a Groupon for someone for Christmas and we decided to go out on a Saturday and make an afternoon of it. The tour was nice and there is a lot of history to learn about the winery. The space itself it beautiful, great views of the surrounding area and tons of seating outside. There are a few spaces from a members space (which is perfect for parties), outdoor seating with a sort of pop up mobile wine/beer truck, inside wine tasting, restaurant, and even a speakeasy of sorts. The coolest part we felt was the cave. There is some seating inside for dining in between the wine barrels and it is nice and cool and just an overall cool experience and space. We received a wine taste of choice upon arrival (sparkling pineapple coconut was my favorite) and from there had reserved seating with a mountain view where we got some history and white wine tastings. We then moved into the cave for a brief history and tour to a private dining room where we were greeted with a small bites plate (fruit, chocolate, cheese, and meat) and red wine tastings. Our guide was very nice. The tour was about 10 people so it was small and perfect. It was quite bust for a random Saturday in May. We bought a bottle of wine which fell through the paper bag on the way out to the car. They gave us 20% off another bottle and placed in a better bag (which I feel sturdier bags should be used to begin with). Overall we had a nice time and would like to go back to try the food and speakeasy. They have a complimentary valet but there was plenty of parking so I don't really think there is a need to valet.

Seen the Shrek 2 screening event on Instagram, and knew I had to come. There were tables set up on the lawn and you could set your blankets down for the screening. It was a cozy winery located deep in wine country Temecula. We brought outside food and got drinks from their speakeasy. $27 for a piña colada and $27 for a whiskey sour "swamp water" *prices subject to change*. Which I felt was excessive. The bartender had to ask someone else verbatim "I don't even know how to charge this". Movie started an hour later than advertised. But Shrek 2 is life. I forgot to add that the whole time we were there nobody came to check on us or offer drinks.

YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes, go for the experience not necessarily the wine. LOCATION: Easy to find in Temecula which is So Cal close to everything. FACILITY: Nice and expanding. This is a popular location to visit for tours and the constant buildout shows owners care. Outdoor space is shaping up to be incredible. MENU: While we did not eat, the menu looks good. We thought there would be a bit more food on our tour, if we did it again we'd plan a meal in the restaurant before or after the tour. They should give some incentive to dine connected to the meal. FOOD PREP: Looked good. FOOD QUALITY: Have to assume it is good, did not see any unhappy customers. LIBATIONS: Wine, lots of wine on our tour. As I try not to drink I did my best and did not see spitting options. To be honest none of the wines seemed special but for what it is and where it is they were fine and this is not an easy business. We did not come there to experience finding the best wine, we came for the experience and were not disappointed one bit. WAITSTAFF: Wow, our tour host was incredible, she was entertaining and informed even when she was soft selling. I lived near the Napa giants and have visited some of Europes best so not fair to compare and I do not think they are saying otherwise. It was nice not to find the stuck up wine snobs here. OVERALL VALUE: Excellent, where can you visit where everyone is happy? Yes we all enjoyed some wine and laughs and met some super nice people. TIP: Do the Tour, I believe there is a Groupon deal at times that makes it about $50 per person, well worth it. Plan a meal but you need to make reservations for both. Give them a call for Bed and Breakfast and neighboring vineyards to visit, they are ever helpful. We will return.

We had such a great time! Thank you guys so much for the great service and making my fathers birthday just perfect. We will def be back again. I would def suggest to make reservations since it does get a little busy. Also, complimentary valet. We went around 6:30 and it was perfect weather and beautiful sunset.

The location and experience are worth a visit. We came on a Saturday for lunch. I usually prefer outdoor seating but it was warm and the available tables didn't have shade. I was pleasantly surprised by the indoor dining area. We walked past the tasting/shop area which is loud, and into the barreled dining area. Such a wonderful setup! We opted for a glass of rose, whipped feta hummus, poke, shrimp tacos, and coconut crème brûlée. The wine is average (we had sampled a white at the festival too), and nothing memorable. The hummus and shrimp tacos were tasty and flavorful. The poke needed acid and salt. The crème brûlée had a good flavor but was not smooth. Service was friendly. Worth a visit! (Note: we kept hearing loud thuds, not sure if barrels were falling!)

You're gonna come here for the winery. DO the wine tour. $75 per person as of July'25. WORTH it. Fingers crossed you get JUDY. Then you are gonna be inclined to eat at their restaurant. Sadly it's gonna be a huge mistake. You're gonna pay average of $67 per person (or $202 for 3) for less than mediocre food. AND you will be so disappointed wishing you had gone anywhere better. Other: Vallet is obligatory with optional tip (you pretty much have to) You can walk anywhere on the premises freely. And i mean anywhere don't be shy.

My bf and I dined here back in February during valentines' weekend. The restaurant side was fully booked so my bf booked our dinner here instead. IT was a bit confusing to book for dinner because online it seems like menu is different and the hours are different, but, we learned that this Oak Mountain Winery is also a full restaurant just like the other one but, I love it so much more because it is actually situated inside the cave. So, you end up dining in between drums of wine! Our waiter told us that this was the concept during Covid, where they started putting in dining table in between each section of the drums of wine (not sure if I call them correctly) and that just took off so they continued it. We didn't have enough time for a tour there but I would definitely come back for the food and the tour next time! Staff was incredible also!!

The wife and I came here for a date night. We decided to try the interior "Cave" restaurant. The inside looks like you are in a cave, and the tables are separated by wine barrels, so you it appears as if you have your own little area. It is cold in there, so bring a light jacket. The food was good and the service was great. The ambiance in itself was amazing (inside and out). Check it out when you get a chance.

Me and my friend had an awesome experience at The Oak Mountain Winery Cave Cafe! Emma was our server and she really made our day soooo special. Her kindness and demeanor throughout our whole lunch experience will make us come back, time and time again! The food and wine was exceptional and I totally recommend the gourmet cheeseburger with fries and the wine flight for fun ! Thanks again Emma for making our experience extremely memorable.. The cave restaurant added to the ambience of our visit as well.

My wife recently signed us up for their wine club membership, so we decided to invite friends here to celebrate her birthday with a tasting and lunch at their restaurant. All of the staff here were very friendly and accommodating. The winery grounds are set up very nicely with seating and tables with a view of Temecula vineyards. My favorite wine was the Pinochet, a nice red blend.

We were once members of Oak Mountain with the previous owners. Since new ownership we were disappointed with the menu and the quality of the food and canceled our membership. We gave it a substantial amount of time to make adjustments and we returned to try it out again yesterday. Needless to say we will not be returning/joining the wine club. The charcuterie board was mediocre...very small and lacked substance. The greek salad had fresh ingredients but there was absolutely no flavor in the dressing. The poblano linguine was not as expected. The flavor was very bland. The Chilean Sea Bass itself was delicious but the sauce, edamame with sun dried tomatoes did not complement the fish. The new area in front with turf, tables and umbrellas with the tasting trailer was a nice addition. The service was good but the dining experience was disappointing. The other disappointing experience was non members were not allowed to purchase tasting tickets in the main tasting area and enjoy the experience...they are redirected to the other tasting room on the other side of the distillery.

Great tasting wine and location. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely place in Temecula, Ca. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience at Oak Mountain Winery. The wine tasting and the tour of the Cave. The food is absolutely amazing. The location is amazing. The view and food. Sample great red wine and white wines. The food we tasted melted in our mouths. Absolutely the one the best wine country and resort. Highly recommend!

Ohhhhh my goddddd what a sweet lil time! Definitely take a wine tasting or spend an afternoon here!! If you do a tasting, ask for Judy! She's so fun, knowledgeable, and friendly.

They have live music, games, and their food is yums! Spending a breezy sunny afternoon here is an absolute d r e a m.

Went here two nights in a row. The first night was with a larger crowd and they were very accommodating. Outstanding customer service from our Waiter! Second night was just for two, service was still great just had to wait a bit. Food was delicious the first night, steak was seasoned and cooked just right. Second night the pasta was bland could've used more seasoning. Amazing service, hostess helped find my earring that I had lost!

Went wine tasting with my girlfriends and was helped by an incredible wine specialist Marti. She is a level 3 Sommelier and you could tell her knowledge of the wine was something she was passionate about. I adored all her recommendations and she inspired all of us to learn more about how wine was made and the different regions make each wine so unique. Will be back and requesting Marti!

I had the idea to visit a winery for a day date to celebrate my husband's birthday. Even though we are both lifelong SoCal residents, neither of us had ever been to Temecula wine country. Boy were we missing out. We picked the absolute perfect day to visit- beautiful blue sky's and not too hot. We did the Cave tour with Joyce and she was great. It looked like it was just going to be the two of us so we started outside learning all about the vineyards and the history of the Winery while sipping on generous pours. There ended up being 2 others that joined the tour. We were impressed by the dining options inside and definitely have to come back for a meal. The tour was great and we enjoyed all of the wines we tried.

Visited the Oak Mountain Distillery and had a great experience. The appetizer were amazing and filling. We had the mango poke and birria empanadas plus the coconut cremebrulee. Amber made our drinks. We told her what we liked and didn't like and she created something magical. Staff was friendly. We will be back.

This place is amazing!! The staff is friendly, courteous, and down right good people. The food is great, wine is great, and can we mention the views and different wine drinking areas?? Please come and support this winery that is a hidden gem. They have movie nights, karaoke, live bands and club nights!!! What's not to love. We love coming here, and will continue to do so.

First time visiting the distillery and it was amazing. The cocktails were fantastic, and unique. The service was unmatched and the bartender took the time to talk to us about their drinks and our preferred cocktails. The food was really good as well. I recommend the tri tip sandwich. We'll definitely be coming back.

Went recently for the first time for lunch. We made a reservation but they had plenty of space and were seated immediately. They are dog friendly and brought water bowls for our dog. Our server was amazing with providing quick service but also offering suggestions of other wines to try based on our preferences. We ordered a charcuterie board and sandwiches which were tasty but pricey as usual. After lunch I went inside to check it out and decided to possibly buy a bottle of wine. However, there was only one person working the bar and when I asked another employee if I could buy a bottle he said I would have to purchase from that bartender. I ended up leaving as I didn't want to wait 15 min just to buy a bottle as there were about 10 people hanging out waiting to order.

Just visited this amazing cave winery for the first time yesterday with my wife , and it did not disappoint! The location is stunning, but what truly made our experience special was our wine server, Makenna. She was professional, attentive, and made us feel right at home one of the many reasons we'll be returning soon and being members soon. If you go, you must try their pineapple coconut wine it's a unique and delicious treat. Highly recommend this place for a great atmosphere, great wine, and even better service. Check out the cave!

Came here for a neighbor's birthday, hadn't been here for maybe 4-5 years. Upon first getting here, we had a wine tasting; I stuck with all white wines, and my favorite was the white Cabernet. The Chardonnay and Viogner were a close second. After our tasting, we had lunch. I opted for the short rib. When my plate arrived, I did not see a bone in the meat, and it appeared to be just one solid chunk of meat. The appearance of the plate was pleasant, though. Upon cutting a piece from the short rib, it was not tender as I was expecting, and the texture did not seem to be from a short rib, but that of a lesser cut of beef, most likely chuck roast. I was overall disappointed in the texture and quality of the dish. After dinner, we visited the on-site distillery. We were a party of 7, and all got a drink, which were all $22 each. I paid the bill and did not notice they included the tip in the bill, nor was there any noticeable sign saying parties of a certain number will have the tip included. It wasn't till after I left that I noticed that they had included the tip along with me also adding an additional amount. The servers were all exceptional, so I was happy to have given them extra.

Let me say that the speak easy is a lot more friendly and welcoming than the Cave. We were waiting at the Cave for around 20 minutes. We were ignored and a different set of visitors were seated before us. They literally bypassed us at the Cave and asked the people next to us (almost behind us) for service. This had upset me. But once they did attend to us, I was elated that they said I was at the wrong place and I we needed to walk over about 5 feet to the Speakeasy. And thank God because the Speakeasy and the staff were beyond amazing. There was outside seating which it was nice to hear the music. It's lively at this place. Pretty scenes all around. The food and drinks at the speakeasy were great. We will be back. And I'll purposely try the Cave. A pretty good amount of parking but I bet on Saturdays there may be no parking. We arrived here on a Sunday with reservations at the Speakeasy

We had the absolute best time doing the cave tour at Oak Mountain Winery! From start to finish, the experience was well beyond what we expected..and worth every penny! Our tour guide was James and he was fantastic. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also made the tour engaging and fun. You can tell he really knows his stuff and loves what he does. We learned so much about the winemaking process, and he made the information super accessible and interesting. The cave itself is stunning. It's such a unique and beautiful setting to enjoy a wine tasting. Every wine we sampled was delicious, and the whole experience felt so well thought-out and special. It was the perfect mix of informative, delicious, and just plain fun. We enjoyed every minute and would absolutely do it again. Whether you're local or visiting Temecula, this tour is a must. Highly recommend!

We decided just to pop in and do a tasting.. they were extremely busy, however, they were able to give us great attention... we ended up, asking for a tasting of something that wasn't necessarily on the tasting menu and we loved it! Two red wines, one was the ads and one was Steve's... The property is a gorgeous here very dog friendly wonderful large restaurant. They've got an outdoor restaurant with Mr. then they have the man-made cave that has these beautiful tables within the oak barrels. We really enjoyed our experience winetasting in the cave .

JUDY!!!!!!!!! wow Judy really just gave the best winery tour I've ever experienced. She went above and beyond, and actually taught me things. I learned and truly enjoyed. I wish I lived in the area to do this more often with the one and only Judy. We did the Groupon and had a delicious meat and cheese tray with our wines which really made the whole tour amazing. The cave is amazing; cool and enjoyable on this very hot day in Temecula. Thank you again and I hope we are back soon!

My husband and I came here for our 1 year anniversary dinner. I really wanted to like this place because of all the positive reviews and videos I had seen online! We were both very displeased with the service and food. It was extremely crowded, they really just put chairs and tables anywhere outside. We should have chosen to eat inside the cave instead of outside, maybe the experience would've been better. Our waiter was not attentive, we were not really checked up on. Our first waiter didn't return and when we asked for him he switched us to another waiter, thought that was odd. The food was not very enjoyable. From the dry, simple side salad, to the flavorless dishes we ordered, and the complimentary dessert being hard. I had high expectations and am saddened to not have had a good experience.

Our tour guide was Judy, we loved her! We also enjoyed the people we were with in our group. Highly recommend for a winery tour. Wear whatever you feel your best in. We saw everything from summer dresses/ to casual wear to super sexy outfits. . We had a blast and met great people. 10/10 experience. I hope to come back! The chimichurro fries and sliders were amazing and perfect to split between 2-3 people.

Such a fun experience and beautiful winery. My review is based on the cafe and distillery. We were a party of 8, 6 people are members and go often. I had the salmon my spouse had the tri tip, others had tri tip, salads, soup and short ribs. We shared Brussels, chimchura fries and birra empanadas all the food was very good as was the service. I personally loved the Caveman, t

We have been living in Temecula for two years now and this is still our go-to winery. The staff, view, food and atmosphere are all 10 out of 10. Speaking of the staff, they make you feel like a regular from day 1, which is not the same for other wineries. Corina always greets us by name and with a smile, we look forward to seeing her every time we come! Almost forgot to mention the wine! If you like whites, red or sweet this is the place. If you are into dry whites try the Sav Blanc! P.S. also dog friendly!

We had an amazing cave tour from Judy today! She made it fun and informative! The cave was a cool experience since it is the only winery in Temecula with the cave system! It was cool in the cave and the outdoor area was cute with some games! Beautiful views around the property! The charcuterie boards with the tasting also were delicious!

We had an amazing time doing the tasting tour in the cave. Judy is a gem, we highly recommend requesting her if you can. She was so lovely, explaining everything about their wines and the pairings, and just a delight to hang out with. The ambience is one of a kind for a winery, and the service is top notch! The wines are amazing, we love the full bodied reds!

I love a place that makes you feel like family each visit. I've been to the distillery a couple times now and I plan on going back. Very grown and mature vibes. The entire staff is down to earth and very helpful. I haven't had s as single mid drunk from here yet. We've even had customized drinks from here and they are always a hit. The food was also very good. No way you don't visit this place when you're in wine country.

First time going here. Everything was good until we sat down to eat. They brought is water before our meal and my water cup the more it sat the smell of bleach was very strong to the point that I felt sick. Im sure it was non intentional but whoever washed those cups yesterday didn't rinse it accordingly. If did put a dent in my evening. But the fries were delicious . The empanada sauce needs more flavor but the meat from the birria empanadas was pretty good. Best wine there in my opinion was amor eterno. The view is amazing too.

This was our first ever wine tasting tour. We had an expired Groupon gift certificate but when I spoke to Maria over the phone she reassured us there would be no problem redeeming it. So I made an appointment. Upon arrival we were greeted by a really nice employee named Elijah. He poured our first taste then guided us out to our tour guide James. We were a little late because we were unaware there was construction going on near Oak Mountain. But we felt welcomed. Our tour guide James was great. He did a great job showing the property and explaining the wine, history of The Cave and wine club options and he was funny. I have never been a wine fan. But I still had a really good time. We loved the beautiful property and view is gorgeous. We went on a Wednesday and the weather could not have been more perfect. Our charcuterie board was really good. We highly recommend Oak Mountain winery!

Got a groupon for the cave tour. Judy was so fun and knowledgeable. She made us feel welcome as soon as we got there. It was so chill but also very informative. She made sure to take note of which wines we prefer and kept everyone topped up :) Actually learned something about the whole grape growing process and some wine basics to watch out for. Stayed there for lunch. The food was really good. Great views. Overall a great first experience. Will definitely come back.

Wooohoooo club! What a fun tour -peppered with some humor, great wines and wonderful cheese and meat board. We did the Cave tour with James and it's a must! Felt lucky to have a Monday afternoon tour so it was very quiet and not rushed and very relaxing- we would highly recommend and come back to eat at the restaurant! James is the best! Thanks

We came to this winery to celebrate my 40th birthday. This place was kind enough to accommodate my large party of 15 which no other winery in the area was able to do for us this weekend. The manager Wendy went above and beyond to make my day even more special by setting up the outside area to celebrate a special toast for my friends and new business venture. The whole ambiance was really lovely. Especially the view on top of the hill. Great place to get away and enjoy a day away. When sitting at the two tables combined in-between the large wine barrels was really nice. Felt like you were in a different country somewhere. The server Matt was great. He gave great wine selections and was just so pleasant. The appetizers were really good. Loved the kick to the chorizo Brussels sprouts. My favorite was the avocado toast with shrimp and onion rings. That definitely was a new twist to avocado toast. The chilesquilas could use a little bit of more flavor, just a tad bit on the bland side. But everything overall was really nice. Just the overall experience was great. Every person that worked there was very friendly and helpful. If your going to celebrate something special, this would definitely be the place to visit.
