This place is disappointing. A lot of the wineries close at 5 PM on the weekdays and I understand that. Not a lot of business to be had. The restaurant closed up at 4 PM but the gift shop was open until 6. I've dined here a couple times for lunch and dinner. Lunch was very good. Dinner was okay. Great outdoor views. The hours of operation are short. You may want to just dine in Temecula on weekdays.

My spouse and I are wine club members who live far away, so to make sure we get out here regularly, we switched from having our shipments mailed, to onsite pickup. Best decision ever. We were married here in 2013, so every time we return, we get to relive the romantic and friendly moments shared by all who attended. It's a really nice way to bolster our relationship and remind ourselves why we married in the first place. Regarding the tasting room, wine club members only need to check in with the sales person to receive a complimentary flight of wine to taste. Non-member price is $20 per person, unless they're guests of members, in which case the non-member price is discounted. There are only two wines I dislike: Vernaccia Nera, a sparkling red that has a hit of black pepper on the finish, which I don't care for; and Arneis, a super light white wine which lacks the fullness I prefer. Ponte also has three very sweet wines: Beverino, Late Harvest, and their Port. If you aren't a fan of sweet reds, these aren't for you. My favorites: Doppietta, Montepulciano, Nebbiolo, Holiday Zinfandel, Super T, Barbera, Angry Wife (White and Red versions), Malbec, Chardonnay, Pas Doux, and Moscato (more like a sparkling or champagne than sweet white). You can taste six different wines, or taste 3 and have a glass of your favorite, which takes up three tastings on your ticket. Finally, if you want to support local artisans, the tasting room has a few displays set up which have edible, wearable, and decorative items crafted in and around Temecula.

We Love everything about Ponte! It is a warm inviting atmosphere, the wine and food is spectacular and we have always had a wonderful time there! The Ponte Inn is exquisite in every way. Ponte treats you like Family and their customer service is second to none!

In extreme contrast to many of the wineries in Temecula, Ponte is lovely, elegant, beautifully landscaped, has made excellent use of it's space and views, has paved parking, an extensive gift shop, and a welcoming restaurant. This is the best winery in Temecula to go spend an afternoon at. A perfect day would be visiting the tasting room for a while, buying your favorite bottle and enjoying it on the grounds somewhere, then having a delicious lunch at the restaurant. Be sure to make reservations. On a sunny day you could really spend some quality time here. The Inn is also gorgeous, though we just walked through, didn't stay.

Extremely disappointed, I appreciate wine and the intense labor, work, and creativity it takes to create a good product. Unfortunately, this information was not given or even known about the wine. Whites were atrocious and reds below average. I felt it was not about the sale!

Ohhhhh my goodness. This was one of my favorite vacation getaways in recent memory. My husband and I went to Irvine to visit some friends when the husband suggest we spend a night in Temecula. Well the boys found this place and we couldn't believe it when we arrive. Beautiful scenery, beautiful complex, great food (2 restaurants on site!), and amazing service. Everyone was so friendly from the front desk, to the wine tasting room, to the restaurant and beyond. We had a vineyard facing room and it was unbelievable. My only regret is not spending more time here. Plus their wines are great!! We will be back.

My friends and I had A STELLAR time here! I came in from NJ to visit my best friend in Temecula and she highly recommended the place so I just had to come! They had a wonderful selection of wines and their charcuterie board was perfect. I cannot wait to come back!

Absolutely beautiful place! Attended my cousins wedding there and it was beyond amazing! The reception area is very chic and trendy. Makes you feel at home and comfortable. And is setup so you have great views on any side of the building you are in. The tasting room was also beautiful. People everywhere, very friendly staff and again the view was delightful!

Ponte Winery has a relaxing vibe along with amazing views of the Temecula countryside. When you first arrive you re greeted to a large open tasting room filled with unique gifts and a friendly staff. Once you get settled in and begin your tastings you ll want to explore the grounds. As you step outside you re drawn into their beautiful gardens. Take a walk around and enjoy the sites while sipping on a glass of wine. Make sure to stop by their restaurant as well, you won t be disappointed. One of Temecula s finest wineries.

Worst winery! My sister in law got married there a few years ago and i still remember how bad they were. Unprofessional and rude! I was reminded of this horrible experience just now as someone was asking me for recommendations for a wedding venue and I made sure they knew about this place and not to go there.

Our entire party thoroughly enjoyed the wines here and thought they had the best wines on our wine tour.

You never know, especially as it was the 1st stop of the 4 wineries, but we all purchased the only wines we did end up bringing home, from Ponte.

We've been trying to do an annual trip to Temecula and now that we found out Ponte has it's own accommodations, think we know where we'll be staying at next year.
