Wineries that serve food
Peltzer is a fun, busy, family friendly winery. They have several food trucks throughout the weekend. They usually have live music and some weekends have events going on (ice skating in the winter!). The Silo bar at the front has really good Sangria! We walk to this winery a lot and Uber back :) 2 min Uber!

Ponte is my favorite winery for food. Dining is outside and you truly get the feel of the vineyards. Reservations are recommended but can usually get them the day of!. I love the tasting room (cute giftshop!) It is also a beautiful place to walk around and take pictures. 5 min Uber!

I LOVE Avensole. They have a separate tasting room and restaurant. You can also sit in the bar area and order food. Their food is YUMMY!! They also have the most wonderful Sangria! You can walk around the property near the pond. It is gorgeous for sunset! 3 min Uber!

If you are looking for a good winery on the South End of Temecula, Leoness is our favorite! We were members here for years! Gorgeous property and plenty of places to take your wine and explore. They have a fantastic restaurant and have music on some weekends. They also have a overflow patio below to enjoy your wine. 12 min Uber!

We (and everyone else!) LOVE Altisima Winery! They are newish and I think they have the best view in wine country. Their food is delicious, the wine is wonderful and the sangria is amazing! It's a really pretty, chill place to hang out. They usually have music on the weekends (and some holiday weekdays). I would HIGHLY recommend going as early as you can as it gets very busy. If you get there earlier enough, put your name in to get one of the couches with heaters. You can order food, wine and hang out for hours. It is wonderful! They also have a separate tasting room if the main winery is too busy.

Wineries for sightseeing
Wilson Creek is where the party is! If you are wanting a busier, fun winery, this is the place! They are famous for their Almond Champagne and their Frose. Mario Lopez is frequently here to host a live party! It is also a popular place for bachelorette/ bachelor party buses. If you are not into the crowd, you can take your drink/bottle and sit under the trees. They have a lot of areas to get away. It is a beautiful place! 7 min Uber!

South Coast is not my favorite place to go for wine but it is one of the staples of Temecula Wine Country and would be worth stopping for some pretty pictures. It has been here forever and the landscaping is breathtaking! They also have a cute gift shop and restaurant (not my favorite!). They have an AMAZING spa (Grapeseed) that is worth a day trip! 5 min Uber!

Miramonte is the place to go if you want a busy, popular, social scene. This is not for me (I am too old! My 25 year old self would have loved this winery!). But, people who are looking for this love it! I have been only once :). They are incredibly busy and parking is nonexistant. I would strongly recommend taking an Uber! They have a lot of party buses dropping off so they will not let you in unless you are in an Uber and the walk from the road is STEEP! The winery/restaurant/bar is beautiful and the views are gorgeous if you do go!

GORGEOUS! This winery is picturesque! It is Ponte's sister winery! It is new and looks a little stark on from the outside but the patio is beautiful, shaded and comfortable. Reservations are not required but recommended. This is different from most wineries in Temecula, more high end. They seat you and you have a server, unless you are going to the tasting room, you check-in regardless. They offer a limited menu (charcuterie boards), a pairing room and a tour of the make-your-own wine lab. They also have a pool, lounge area and cabanas for day rental. Truly a gem!

This winery is off the beaten path but so worth the drive. They often have weddings and events, so check before you go but it is a gorgeous winery to grab a glass of wine and walk around. The tasting room is next to a beautiful pond that feels similar to a small botanical garden. They also have delicious Froze in the summer. This is a popular spot for Christmas card photos, it’s that picturesque 💓. They also host outdoor movie nights all summer long!

The decor is amazing. There is also a cute chocolate/dessert shop attached to it that is a treat! You can park next to the building in the free public parking building (parking can be difficult in Old Town!). They did take reservations and then they stopped, so I would call ahead just in case!

I am including this in the Old Town section because I think it is such a cute local store. They have olive oil tastings in the back room that are super fun to do. Packed with local sourced and made goodies ranging from olive oil to soaps to olive cutting boards this is a great place to pick up something special from our beautiful city!

Love this Thai restaurant. It is a cute restaurant to visit close to the mall but we usually do delivery or take out. I like that they will make your food as spicy as you like it. We love the shrimp pad thai and the chicken curry.
