The staff was incredibly professional, friendly, and accommodating. The view was also stunning! It's a fantastic place to spend the day. They offer a wide selection of wines, all of which are delightful.

We started with the crispy Brussels sprouts, which were incredibly tasty. The grilled salmon was fantastic, the winemaker pasta was a pleasure to eat, and the chicken and mushroom risotto was simply divine. To finish our meal, we savored a smooth key lime pie paired with their port. I truly adore this place!

While the California burger was acceptable, the turkey BLT reminded me of something you'd find at Subway, using deli meat from the grocery store. If you choose to visit, I suggest focusing on the wine tasting and bypassing the food.

Throughout the closure from the pandemic and then the continued challenges when the fire destroyed a large portion of the tasting room and warehouse , we continued our Wine Club membership and purchases. We dutifully drove from Mira Mesa to Temecula to pick up our Wine Club shipments every other month or so. We even put off redeeming our Club points when we were asked to do so because of the fire and the lower inventory, which we did. In June 2022, we were given a print out of the points needed to redeem for wine. At that time, 2500 points would provide $500 in wine. So when we returned to Temecula and Falkner Winery a month later, only to find out that the amount of points needed to redeem for $500 had increased to 5000 points. We were told that an email had been sent out in June 2022 outlining the new points policy that was supposed to take affect in July. The only problem was that my husband and I never received that email. We didn't learn about the policy change until we drove up to Temecula in August. We have been told that there is nothing that can be done for us. Our loyalty through Falkner Winery's challenging times have been rewarded with the advise to just keep buying the wine and continue being wine club members. We can only hope we do this before the points policy changes again. If this is way Falkner Winery rewards loyalty , we are seriously considering ending our Wine Club membership. Loyalty doesn't seem to matter .
