Judy was an excellent tour guide! We loved our trip through the cave, trying 6 of the best wines alongside a small plate of snacks to complement the tastes. She gave us lots of tips on what to look for in our wines, and was super informative on the winery, its history, functions, features, and more. We had such a great experience - probably one of the best Groupon dates in Southern California!

The view on the patio is outstanding. We were all pleased with our food, one having steak sandwich with parmesan fries, one having vegetable tacos and I had meat loaf from the senior menu. All delicious.

Yum! Sweet Marcus is a wonderful server, the food is always wonderful anyway, and the wine flights just changed so we could try new varieties. We love Oak Mtn!

I am not a Covid paranoid person but really? Servers not wearing masks properly. Huge lines for cave tour (not wearing masks) standing right next to our table. What’s the point? Also large groups of young people wanting to put tables together ( making it large groups of 15). The management was lame and did not enforce any policies. The poor young hostesses were expected to enforce rules! What a joke!

Oak Mountain Winery has this sort of magical charm that lures you in from afar. The tasting room is my favorite place to be, not only for its lighting (and obviously the wine) but its WONDERFULLY CHARMING staff, who are there to help you along the way, crack jokes with you, and make you feel welcome. I find myself never wanting to leave because of this. I feel at home here and I’m never afraid to ask questions when it comes to something I don’t know about. I’m very thankful for their generosity we’ve received the last few months and their never ending friendliness and superb customer service. I highly recommend coming here and even signing up for a membership if you’re interested. You won’t regret it.

Had a great time, one of the best wine testing places. Was really impressed with the staff and location. We had Katie as our tour guide and in the cave area was enjoyable also. A lot cooler in there, so tasting can increase your body temperature and the cave temperature helps.

Dont pay online for the cave tour! We paid online to ensure our spot and when we arrived, we were asked if we were there on the Groupon for $59 for 2. Sadly, they didnt offer a discount and the tour was not what was on their website. We understand things are different during Covid-19. However, you shouldnt charge the high price for a significant change in your tour. Wasnt worth $98 for 2. We wrote to ask about a possible discount and never got a response. CHECK GROUPON BEFORE YOU BOOK!!

Came to this place to have lunch with my family, it was on Sunday and the place was busy. I had no problem to call in for a reservation in advance a couple of days early. We waited less than 10 minutes before they seated down. The cave was cozy and welcoming, people could stand next to the bar and chatting while sipping their wines. The noises were medium and respectable. The foods were as delicious as the wines. The waitress was so nice and helpful to us. Her name was Tena, she went extra miles to explain and recommended the meals to us. This place was clean and the service was super fast and friendly. The ride from Los to this place closed to 1hr 20 but it was worth the ride. Will come back for sure in the future.

This winery was carved into a beautiful rolling hill. The cave theme along with the wine and food here are deliciously paired. The staff is great and views from the top of Oak Mountain will make you come back for more memories and of course, WINE!!!!

This is absolutely my favorite vine in Temecula. Every time we go, we have to go here. We have a flight and have a late lunch early dinner. The food is always incredible way, beyond what you would expect coming from a cave, lol.. Love the view, the cave, the vines are perfect. We also love the people that work there.6 months ago.I loved this place. It was funtastic, The view from up there was incredible.We got to enjoy a wine flight, charcuterie board, some appetizers, and some entrées.It’s dog friendly and they even have a dog dish that you could order for your dog for lunch or dinner, it consisted of bowtie pasta with chicken breast. I even liked it.I was able to go behind the scenes, behind the gate to go look at their wine cave. It was great it was all decorated for holidays. It would be a excellent place to have a party.Cave Cafe was wonderful and I WOULD recommend you checking this place out. The people that work there the staff, every single person we met were very friendly.

There is plenty of parking and the restaurant food looks amazing! I will follow up with the food. The wine is great! Go for the Syrah! SAM recommended that to us and it was awesome! Highly recommended.

One of our favorite wineries and restaurants in the Temecula Valley wine country - and we are local to the area. We love the sparkling wines and enjoy lunch at the restaurant. Great service and the food is outstanding! As with all the wineries in the area, the weekends are busy. But you will not regret discovering this place. The views of the mountains and valley are absolutely awesome!

Cave Tour Experience is a journey like no other.  Your experience will start in our Estate Vineyards at Oak Mountain Winery. Our well educated tour guides will navigate you 320’ deep into the hillside and into our Wine Cave. You will learn how our grapes are farmed and processed.  You will learn how the cave was constructed and how it is used to ferment and age our wines.The 10,000 square foot cave keep the subterranean storage at an average temperature of 66 degrees and 75% humidity. We are able to store and up to 1,000 barrels in the caves.La comida es espectacular y puedes pasar una tarde extraordinaria.Otra cosa muy linda es que los perros son bienvenidos y hasta cuentan con menú especial para ellos.Lo unico malo es que cierran a las 5:00 p.m.

This was our first stop in Temecula wine country. We had a fun day hanging out and having flights of wine with a couple outstanding charcuterie boards that were definitely worth the money. They had an abundance of different cheese and meats and lots of chocolate. We will definitely return to the wonderful outside seating area. Oh and our server Erin did a great job taking care of us.

Review №39

Location is very nice but the wines, not so much. The only possible redeeming quality of their tasting card were the sparkling wines. Raspberry and peach were good. Whites were passable but dont bother with the reds, you may regret it. Then again, this is a seemingly touristy locale so one cant expect too much

Ab
Review №40

The wine here is ok in my opinion. Id stick to their whites. Unfortunately, I wasnt a fan of any of the reds I tasted and neither were the people that I was with. The service was good, we had a friendly woman assist us in the main tasting room. Disclaimer: the cave tasting room is only open to members :/

Beautiful winery. Nice little restaurant, bistro, cafe (whatever it is called). The grounds are nice with an excellent view. However, the wines are average to below average with most of them tasting the same. I am a red wine drinker and was not impressed with what they had to offer. I cannot speak about their whites or sweet wines, since I prefer reds. If you are a red wine drinker, I would recommend other wineries.

I had my wedding at Oak Mountain Winery and have visited at least 5 times. They are super friendly, have a superb property, and such a huge selection with a wine for everyone! I love the Brut!Both we and our guests had an amazing time during our wedding at Oak Mountain Winery! The venue is beautiful and well laid out for weddings. Rony went above and beyond to ensure our vendor team was all coordinated and that we stayed on track with preparations. She was on top of everything and was also very flexible! On the day-of our wedding Rony was attending her friend’s wedding, but Ann and Marcus were there to make sure everything went smoothly, they were both very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Oak Mountain Winery!

Review №61

Very rude. We came here to enjoy some wine tasting and we were treated very poorly at one point. Bartenders are great (that’s why 2 stars), but as we were sitting outside on the Terrace enjoying wine and food. The blonde tour lady interrupted our conversation apologizing that she has to start her tour at the terrace because it’s shaded. We said of course not a problem, and continued with our conversation. But then she basically yelled at us for continuing to talk. Was very rude about it too. And we weren’t yelling, we were simply having a quiet conversation. She ruined it for us and I was embarrassed for this place since my friend from Europe was visiting.

An
Review №62

Their wine is disgusting and their staff is rude and condescending for no reason. When I asked for a recommendation of what to taste next, the tasting employee’s response was “whatever you want” after I described the flavors I was looking for... We will not be back, and we will tell everyone we know to avoid coming here.

Review №66

One star is still too many. We went for lunch and was told it would be 40 minutes - we were finally seated after 1 1/2 hours of waiting! Then the server let us know the food would be another 45 minutes before being served. I can’t figure out if this is poor management or a way to get people to drink irresponsibly. Either way, we will not be back and let as many people as possible know.

Wine tasting was good and location is beautiful. Lunch, however, was meh. It took about an hour to get our food and the kitchen wasnt too careful with food allergies. Had requested no cheese on my sandwich because Im allergic and two bites into my sandwich I noticed that it was smothered in cheese. The wine tasting was still good though so grab lunch elsewhere if you go.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced with a winery. Joined their premium cave club membership which gives you X bottles and a wine barrel. At the end, had nine bottles to pick up and the barrel. It took about half a year for them to a) find the barrel and b) fix the name plate, which were said out when we originally joined. When we arrived, they said we were unable to even try the wines we were choosing for the nine bottles, but we could re-join a membership if we wanted. No servers were helpful, and management was beyond uncooperative. I will not be returning, and I implore others to also boycott. If Oak Mountain wants to talk to me about this review, please do.

Dont waste your time if youre wanting to visit more wineries. They quoted us a 40 minute wait. After an hour and a half they finally seated us. Then told us it was going to be another 45 minutes for our food to come. All the way from AZ and we missed out on so many other wineries we came to see.if they were honest about the wait time up front we could have made our own decision instead of feeling like were being held hostage here. Unfortunately while we were waiting we gave them our money for wine tasting. The wine wasnt even worth the wait.

This place is nice but really depends on what you are looking for. The food is over priced for portions. It really is in a hole blown in the side of a mountain and because of that it is super loud with drunk women cackling over wine. I didn’t enjoy myself but wish you better luck if you like a loud dining experience. Cheers!

Wow! There isnt enough time or space to write how wonderful my wedding was at Oak Mountain Winery. Rony, the on site coordinator, is truly amazing! Seriously, that can make all the difference in how your day goes!! She was such a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. From giving recommendations on vendors, to her organization skills, to smoothing over anything that went wrong so that my wife and I didnt even notice...we are so appreciative!The wine for the wedding was a great selection. All of our guests had something they loved. The food selections were delicious! All of our guests were generously fed and said they loved the dishes.The cave was incredible for the party. We were able to keep the party going past the noise ordinance! It was a major plus!Also, as a lesbian couple, it was important to us that we got married somewhere that was LGTBQ friendly. They (Rony and her staff) made us feel so welcome!If you are getting married in Temecula, make sure you check out Oak Mountain Winery. You will not be disappointed by the service that Rony and her wonderful staff offer!

Dont go there.they have limited wines and they do not know how to conduct a wine tasting gave us a small plate of cheese salami bread and no chocolate and never said what pairs with what. Guide was leaving us for minutes at a time. Front area was crowded in the cave. Weve been to a few wine tasting events and they just dont get it. And all their wines are dry ..none sweet or semi sweet.
