Great wines and place to hangout with friends!!

I surprised my wife with a morning balloon ride for our anniversary and I totally knocked it out of the park. We started here at the winery and you will need to get up early but what an amazing experience!! We shared our morning with 2 other couples but we still had plenty of room to take in all the spectacular views and listen to the many stories and some history of the area from our pilot Dave. We got up pretty high but it was so peaceful and quiet you could hardly tell that we went up to around 2000’. The whole crew ensured we had a fantastic experience I couldn’t have made a better choice to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks to the California Dreaming crew and especially Dave who is also the owner of Vindema Winery and shared a lot of interesting facts and insights making this an engaging and enjoyable morning. He also gifted us a bottle of his wine as an anniversary present which was sweet. I highly recommend this experience for any occasion.

My wife and I met my daughter and son-in-law in Temecula, to do a bit of wine tasting. First stop was Vindemia, a small, beautiful vineyard, with an elevated outdoor tasting area, up on a hill. We did our regular tastings, and liked 4 out of the 5 Reds we sampled.Thats when the fun began. The owner/ vintner walked up to the tasting booth and began chatting with us. He was holding 2 label-less wine bottles. This guy was super friendly, and animated. He asked us to do a taste test on these 2 wines he was developing. The owner called them X and Y and the letters were marked on the corks. He poured 2 samples-one for each couple, and we put our taste buds to work. We liked X, and my daughter and son-in-law liked Y.He then asked us if we wanted to try one of his better recent wines, called More Cowbell. This guy told us he and his buddy came up with the name one night, while getting a little buzzed, sampling this new red he was working on. His friend said, I think it needs a little more cowbell, a la the Saturday Night Live skit, with Will Ferrell. The name stuck! We tried the 2014, and 2015 More Cowbell, and liked the 2015 one so much we bought a bottle. It was fun here, and we felt lucky to be able to talk with the creator of tasty wines weve been buying for the past 10 years. Talk about a personal touch! You dont get interactions like this at the large wineries.This little gem is tucked away, up a gravel road, perched on a hillside overlooking the vineyard. Its always been one of our favorite Temecula wineries. Please give it a shot.

Great service, great wines. Very nice and friendly people! We had a great time!

Best wine in Temecula Valley. Great, relaxed atmosphere.

Vindemia is a lovely location and we were excited to go wine tasting as the Temecula area reopened. Vindemia decided to celebrate the reopening by increasing their tasting fees to $30 - the most expensive tasting fee - and decrease the number of wines you taste from 5 to 4. Nothing says welcome like charging you more money for less wine. I recommend going to a different winery. Vindemia is one to skip.

Expensive, 16 $ per glass. I did not hear any story about the wine I am buying.Pluses- beautiful view.

Such a great time here. Called ahead to find out more information but didnt get anyone on the phone so decided to just venture through anyway. Upon arriving into view of the vineyard I received a call back which set the mood for the entire experience. This small winery takes special care of each and every guest, making sure the story of each wine is shared as well explaining most anything to a novice wine drinker such as myself. With multiple terrace areas and seating, it felt quite intimate with passionate workers to share the fruits of the father/sons labor.

Fantastic spot, personal experience with a great view. Family business with the owner onsite whos happy to talk about their vineyard and share a glass or two.Highly recommended.

Wonderful wines and pretty location! Katy was awesome! We liked the sustainability focus. Low tannin, crisp, and full bodied. Worth a visit!

This is my go-to winery when folks out to visit. Not only are the wines great, but the views and ambiance are even better. The tasting room is out doors, with furniture spread on different levels within the vineyard. It is actually really cool and so relaxing. You dont get rushed, and there arent large crowds. It is one of those wineries you just have to know about as tours dont stop here. They also offer hot air ballooning...which I did on my first visit (early in the morning...it was one of the most serene experiences I have ever had).

Tasty wines, but young. Small facilities. Staff is not too attentive or informative.

Continually produces fantastic wines! Gorgeous views and wonderful way to wine-down in Temecula.All outdoor seating. Bring your own picnic or charcuterie and enjoy a wine tasting. Great customer service and if youre lucky, youll even get a chance to speak with owner and vinter, Dave! Hes happy to pour you a glass!

Best winery experience overall. Secluded, intimate, sustainable, peaceful ambiance and several beautifully complex reds.

Very cute outdoor wine tasting spot. Kimberly was very knowledgeable and friendly! Got a bottle to take back home to Minnesota!

We visited on a Friday morning, right after opening, and basically had the place to ourselves. The outdoor tasting area is wonderful - the views are gorgeous and go very nicely with the wine. Bree helped us with our tasting and was fantastic. She made great recommendations about what to try, answered all our questions about the wine and the vineyard, and was so friendly and kind. We also enjoyed all the wines we tasted, and I am generally very picky about wine, so thats saying a lot! I cant recommend this place enough!

Great staff, great views, great wine! 10/10 my favorite wine tasting experience since I’ve moved to San Diego . I’ll definitely be bringing my friends from out of town when they come to visit.

This was our favorite tasting, the staff was great the outside location was fantastic and the red wines ranged from ok to good. The down side was the prices. The tasting fee was reasonable but the wine prices were outrageous, at least double and perhaps even triple what their wines are worth. The best wine they offered to taste was a red blend for 98$. While a good wine, this was a 35--45$ wine at best.

We were bicycling on Saturday and saw a rustic winery so we stopped by and had a wine tasting. The host was so sweet, she offered if we wanted some water first! She was knowledgeable and very personable. Gave us bread and olive oil for clearing the palate between tasting.Their wine were very good, especially the reds. Such a cool spot. Well be back.

Went Hot air ballooning at 6:00am this morning in Temecula and then did a little wine tasting and continental breakfast afterwards at Vindemia vineyards. Enjoyable place and a fantastic experience.

Thank you Karen for a lovely tasting!

The friendly staff and service are wonderful! This winery is a must for all out-of-towners!

Beautiful little place..love the scenery..try the bread and olive oil..its the best! Will return definitely

Great hidden gem, wine was great in a nice outdoor atmosphere. Not as fancy as the surrounding wineries but thats what makes it a bit more special

Excellent winery! Very nice staff.

Wonderful Experience! Knowledgeable staff, tasty wine, great view. What more can you ask for??

Fav place to come after our roller rink trips

Excellent tasting experience grom a winery that emphasizes quality wines rather than a commercial activity. Good wines with a knowledgeable guide. Thanks.

I really enjoyed the outdoor setting and was impressed by the sauvignon. Reasonable prices too. Probably going to return with our own bottle to picnic sometime just to enjoy the view. Definitely worth checking out.

Best wine in Temecula. We came here from Napa to see what was what. They don’t spend on false endorsements or decor. Every varietal was amazing. Come here if you don’t want McGrigio or McCabarnet. Genuinely upset I didn’t come here first and last.

Its a small winery with a really good view and a nice outside patio. The wines are good but $20 for a tasting of 5 wines? Come on! Not even the best wineries in Napa were so expensive. And they are very stingy with the quantity!

If the experience overall had been more positive I would have been able to give them higher marks, as their wines are quite good. Unfortunately the petit verdot was gone, so we did not get a chance to try it. I found the server to be pretentious and pretty high pressure, not the laid back experience that other people have experienced. That sullied my time there significantly. Advertised as a boutique winery it was one of three wineries that we visited this trip. It was by far not the best of the day, therefore I felt they couldnt support the high prices they ask.

What a wonderful cellar door and wines! This reminded me of a little place in France with wines to match. Patio seating, beautiful views, no large groups (yay!) and the staff were so friendly and accomodating. Slightly off the beaten track and well worth a visit as a result.

Great location- awesome that the vitner will also take time to let you explore and take pictures

Amazing reds. Beautiful view and could not be more relaxing.

Superb!

The service was very personal with lots of advice on wine unlike some of the larger vineyards. We really enjoyed our time there - and the wine was good also!

AWESOME Reds! A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

That was the best winery we have visited in Temecula valley.Highly recommended for all who want to taste excellent wine and talk with very friendly people.

If you like an intimate atmosphere, great red wine, and earthy you would love this place. Its not your typical winery but thats why I love this place!

Great place and great people. We felt like we had known them forever.

Love the quite country feel & outdoors tasting !! beautiful views ! All about the wine no fluff, the reds Devine & our server Brice very knowledgeable & his passion for wine contagious !! We even joined the wine club.

This is the BEST winery in Temecula. The wine is delicious and the people there are lovely!

I suprised my mother for a Mothers Day mini getaway to Temecula Wine Country. We have read the great reviews about Vindemia Winery so we wanted to check it out. As you walk up, you are in awe of the breath taking view of the vineyards. As we approached the outdoor tasting area, we were greeted and instanly felt welcomed. Our server Danielle was very knowledgable and answered any questions we had during our tasting. I have never experienced a wine tasting in the outdoors, but the rose garden made it feel like a fairytale. With the tasting, you get to choose 5 wines and my favorite was the Ruby Royal! This is a must try and it comes with some chocolate too! I highly reccommend this winery if you are looking for a beautiful view with friendly staff to enjoy quality wine!

Did that happily a few minutes ago!

Wonderful wine and beautiful atmosphere!

Wonderful service, fantastic wine

The very best of the best in Temecula.
