Nice ambiance, the mood was feeling good and the live music was great. Only drawback was the weather wasnt that good, windy and cold other than that had a good time. PJ, the sommelier was nice gave great customer service even being by his self with many people there.

I have been a videographer for weddings here several times, and its always such a great experience for me, the couple, and everyone involved. There are so many places to get great scenic shots, and the staff is very accommodating. I always look forward to working at weddings here, and am eager to be back soon!

Beautiful winery with a shady parking area. The grounds encouraged guests to walk around amongst the vines.We took a Sunday morning yoga class with Yoga In the Vines at the wedding lawn and that gave us a 50% discount off a glass of wine and 10% off food so we decided to return to have lunch at Lorimar.There was live music and shade for their outdoor patio. It was a hot day but the misters helped.Our waiter was so awesome! He let us taste a couple of wines that he recommended before ordering a glass. His recommendations were spot on! He was great at checking on us and making sure we were happy too.

Had dinner for our cousins birthday. The food was good and our waitress did the best she could. She was serving a lot of tables in our area so she was very busy. There was quite some wait time in between requests. But overall a fun experience. Would come back.

My nieces wanted to treat me, my sister and cousins to an evening with fun, danceable music of 70s and 80s. Lorimar was the choice and, I’d say, it was an excellent choice. The band Endeavor played great with their fun, upbeat, happy music that really made the diners dance the night away. Dance floor was packed almost all through the time the band was playing. So our group joined in the dancing fun on a space next to our dining tables. I really enjoyed that dance moment shared with family.Food was tasteful. But it was the grapes that caught my and my sister’s fancy. They were sweet, crisp and freshly delicious. I had not tasted grapes as good as Lorimar’s in such a long time.Lorimar has a gift shop. To while away my time after the dancing, I looked around in the gift shop. Nice souvenir items. It was their drink coasters that gave me the most enjoyment. They had fun quotes; some of them even gave me a giggle.Before leaving Lorimar, we had photo shoots in their beautiful garden of white roses. Thank you, Lorimar, for this memorable evening!

We got married at Lorimar Winery on 5/4/23 and it was magic. Lorimar was actually the first venue I saw online that I truly loved and when we went for the tour we were sold almost immediately. The initial point of contact, Katie, showed us the wine list that had wine descriptions inspired by Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, really any nerdy thing you can imagine. My husband and I are HUGE nerds so we knew at once we had found our people. We felt instantly comfortable and not judged for having a May the 4th wedding. The venue itself is stunning, there are of course the gorgeous rows of grapes cascading down the hill, but there are also beautiful orange groves right next to the lower lawn/barrel room where we had our wedding. They made for some really stunning wedding photos. The hedges leading into the ceremony area as well as the the stage are covered in gorgeous wisteria and there are Edison lights strung across the lawn that lit the area beautifully as the sun went down. The venue is so incredibly beautiful that it didn’t need much additional decoration which was a huge draw for me. Our coordinator Ashley was extremely helpful and so kind to us. She was able to set everything up just the way we wanted it with just a little bit of description from us. I was honestly blown away. I walked Into my wedding not knowing how it would look and lo and behold she got every little detail just right. We could not have asked for a more awesome experience or for a better wedding day. Thank you, Lorimar, for giving us the best day of our lives.Shannon and Drew

We really enjoyed our time here a few months ago. The staff was helpful in finding us a place to sit while we tasted wine. They are reasonably priced and have very excellent wine. We really enjoyed their blended and aged port and bought a bottle that we have yet to enjoy. It was a very classy place and I want to go back and enjoy some more wine. 🍷

Midweek.. midday.... there is live music while enjoying some wine and lunch. Where else does that on a daily basis? The Carne asada sandwich with fries were delicious, and excellent service from Marcie which made the experience wonderful as it was my 1st visit to Lorimar winery. Live music was icing on the cake. Lovely way to the spend the weekday afternoon.Update: 4/12. Friday night live music and dinner is the way to start the weekend. Piping hot beef lasagna with a little side of Caesar salad was perfect for a chilly evening. Excellent service from Hunter. Lorimar doesnt disappoint.

We had dinner reservations at 5:30 so we did a wine tasting before hand. Great evening, super service and the food was delicious. The live band was a little loud but thats what you get with a live band. We were with a large party so it was hard to hear everyone. Their syrah is one of the best!

We have been to this location for both wine tasting and a couple comedy events. Both have been very enjoyable. The location is conveniently and easy to find. They have an inside tasting area. A members area. They have a couple outdoor area that are perfect to enjoy with friends or bring a picnic snack for that romantic time with your someone special. There are great views over the vineyards and a great sunset.As I mentioned we attended a comedy event here a couple times. During the outdoor event they have of course wine but also beer and food choices that are good. I wouldn’t call the dinning great but very good if attending a comedy event and similar to any other venue hosting such an event. During this event we have had the same server each time. She hustles to keep up with all her tables but doesn’t make you feel rushed.We enjoy this location and will be back.

Our first visit on our quest to find a new Port style wine, we were disappointed they didnt have one to offer. We however truly enjoyed all the red wines and joined the club! I really liked how they combined Cab and Mourvedre but the Meritage, a Bordeaux blend, was my wifes favorite.PJ gave us detailed information about each selection and was a wonderful host. In the end we joined the club and bought a cigar.Wonderful experience, obviously we will return soon to try the whites.Adding a food review: Thai Chicken Flatbread does not scream Thai. Its more of a peanut butter, grilled chicken flatbread. There is no spiciness to the sauce and its topped with green onions rather than a slaw or anything Thai related. Will not order again.

Was really looking forward to trying this winery for the first time, so I hate to bash them off one experience… but it was pretty terrible! Husband paid $180 in advance for Mother’s Day brunch. Upon arrival, host said kitchen was backed up causing a delay with reservations. Come back in 15 min to check table status. So we walked around. Took some photos. Went back to hear it was going to be another 30 minutes! So we tried to entertain our kids during that time, as the lobby continued to fill with people waiting. No employees were walking around, offering the mothers a free drink or any snacks. 40 minutes later, we finally got our table. Then it took another HOUR to get our food. When the food finally came, my chicken piccata was dry as cardboard and my entire dish was cold. The sweet waitress made an attempt to get me a new plate, but the second one was just as terrible. The waitress felt really bad so she brought over the owner, who offered to refund our meal and gave us a free bottle of wine, which was nice. Our reservation was at 12:30 and we didn’t leave the winery until 3 PM, which caused us to miss our tasting reservation at another winery. Kind of ruined the entire day. As the cherry on top, my husband‘s Chilean Seabass had him in the bathroom all night long. They have some improvements to make!

Honestly one of the best and my favorite winery in Temecula. We were recently married on Veterans day (11/12/22) at the Coach House and everything was perfect. Ashley is absolutely awesome as a coordinator. Communication is always key for weddings and it exceeded our expectations all the way from when we toured the Coach House to when we were done partying. Great venue, staff, grounds and affordability no matter the size of the party. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking. You wont be disappointed.

Been in Temecula Valley since 2009. Went to a few wineries. But recently weve been going to see musician friends at Lorimar and decided to join their wine club. Our 1st. Amazing experience at Lori Mar, from the staff, the facility, the wine, the entertainment, the food. It feels like family. A great savings to be a member.

What a great spot! Atmosphere was amazing and the wife and I had so much fun. Our waitress, Cyndi was so great and very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. I felt bad about how swamped she was, but she still did amazing. I highly recommend stopping by Lorimar for their amazing customer service, wine, food, and entertainment.

We considered Lorimar for our wedding and had a great experience working with Darcie and her team. They communicated well, took time to show and explain everything and provided a transparently and truely competitively priced offer. What is really cool is that you can opt to get a full bar as long as you buy wine through Lormiar, which is often not an option in Temecula.The upper ceremony spot is stunning but sadly if you would want to hold the reception there as well you may be disturbed by competing live music from the winery restaurant. Lorimar does have a more remote option for the reception where you are undisturbed. It is also really gorgeous but the space felt a bit to big and open for our intimate wedding party of 65, which is why we ended up going for a different venue.Still we would highly recommend Lormiar to other couples. Special shout out to their California sparkling!

First and foremost, thank you Erin, you represented Lorimar Winery with such fantastic hospitality and service. Constant checking up on our needs and water. Thank you also for the group picture. Tons more groups will appreciate all you do Im sure of it!The Ceviche has an authentic, fresh taste which as a Mexican, scores major points with me. We had our group of 12 accommodated quickly. The parking is accommodating and you can park next to the vineyards in the additional parking area with a short walk to the entrance. The Sangiovese was easily the tables favorite. Clean, quiet, with a scenic waterfall to enjoy as well.Thank you for the positive experience!

We visited Lorimar during our trip to Temecula. We skipped the tasting option and chose two bottles of wine, to enjoy on their lawn seating. After a brief sample, half our party chose the Cab Franc and the other selected the Cabernet Sauvignon (both 2019). We further took the buy 3, take 4 option. The wines were spectacular and we are so happy to have 2 home with us. We saw the musicians coming in and setting up, it looks like a good venue.My only complaint would be on the thin outdoor seat cushions. It was the only reason for us to take our sore bottoms home before the music started.

Spent a lovely Thursday afternoon listening to jazz and enjoying the atmosphere.Food: I LOVED the brussel sprouts. My server recommended that i order them crispy and he was right. They were perfect! And the balsamic glaze was delicious.Wine: Grenach is my favorite and Lorimars Grenach dis not disappoint. The perfect balance of fruit and dryness.Service: Jim was the bomb! He took great care of us. He was attentive and very helpful when we were ordering.

This was the second winery we stopped at during our trip!We decided to have some food here and were not disappointed with the flatbreads we ordered.We had one of the vegetarian options (with fig) and the second was the meat lovers.I also ordered a flight of wine here and I have to say the Riesling was my favourite. The only thing I didnt like about this location was that it was way too loud and the mist was right in my face which didnt help with keeping me cool - there werent any other tables available that would be COVID friendly which is why we opted to stay where we were.

I photographed a May wedding here and it was literally perfect. Spring blessed us with a breezy 76 degree day. The couple had separate getting ready areas. Parking was plentiful and guests were taken by golf cart between the ceremony and reception locations. I cannot recommend this Temecula wedding venue enough!!!!!

If I could give a - 5 star review I would. Would not allow my dog in even though he is a service animal. 🐕‍🦺 major discrimination against disabled. as well as against HIPAA laws. Wow. Do not take your your service dog there. Incredibly rude, disrespectful. Would NEVER recommend this trash place to ANYONE.The staff was so rude.Good wine…. Staff is HORRIBLE !!! Never in my life have I ever been more disrespected. Hope they get better people in managment and ceo. I’ll be calling.

I always jump for joy when a couple wants me to photograph their wedding here because it is truly my favorite winery venue in So Cal. Even though Im in Orange County, I will always be happy to drive to Temecula for this gem. My favorite location is the barrel room reception area. With its rustic feel, lush vineyard, and twinkling lights, you cant go wrong with this venue!

Saturday afternoon, sipping well crafted wine flights on a hot patio while cool misters gently spritz your shoulders, ambient music drafts thru the air, and you gush about life with family and friends. I think a core memory was just created!Lorimar is a wonderful winery for locals and visitors alike. Well priced, we grabbed a mixed wine flight (meaning white and reds) 5 selections for $25 each. It is also shareable!We also ordered the fig and procuitto flat bread which was decadent and light all at the same time. And then, we got crazy, and ordered the grilled cheese. Why? Because wine and cheese! #duhIt was served on a perfectly toasted sourdough and was oozing with 3 different cheeses but really, you had me at #fontinaService was fantastic. They were courteous and present, always taking the time to chat or inform us on the flight or food or winery.There are so many great photo ops around the property, and it feels so casual you can take your time exploring!It was busy but never felt packed.Pro Tip: grab a table reservation on Open Table so you can sit back and enjoy your time!

A beautiful place to make great memories. My wife and I went here for Valentines dinner. We were greeted by really nice staffs though we were an hour early just to look around the vineyards. It was beautiful even in the evening with lights hanging over your head. It got a bit cold but they had heaters outside so it was fine. The dinner was quite nice but portion could be a little bit more considering its price. Other than that, its locations, services, taste, everything was on point. We’d love to visit here again.

This was the first stop on our tour and I️ was not disappointed. I’m not a wine connoisseur by any means but I really enjoyed a lot of their reds. This place also has a back patio where you can order food; the charcuterie board looked amazing. Staff was friendly, only downside was that it was very crowded.

Swung by Lorimar for the first time on Sunday. It was my birthday, so I decided to grab lunch and drinks with my family. The ambiance was amazing. There is plenty of covered seating with misters. While we were there, they had live music. Prices are very reasonable. Bring your large groups! They can handle it. Cant wait to go back.

My friends and I visited here this past weekend. The menu has changed for the worse. I was looking forward to the old menu with lots of rich flavor and portion size. We ordered pasta and flat breads and oh what a disappointment. The chicken picatta was the worse. It was so bland cold and just disgusting. I would personally be embarrassed to serve that. We also waited over an hour for food. Also to top it off Jim (one of the employees) seriously has no customer service skills whatsoever. He’s just an embarrassment to the company. If we visit again we would definitely eat in advance. Bring back the old menu and hire better customer service.

One star is being generous after my recent experience at an establishment I once loved. Lorimar has made some drastic changes to their menu and restaurant that have resulted in fare that is just plain inedible. The food lacks not only flavor, but it is also incredibly under seasoned. The menu prices increased while the quality and portions took a nose dive, it’s like it was designed to maximize profits in a money grab. The new chef should be ashamed to serve patrons and members alike such a heavy and lack luster option for lunch, which shows lack of consideration to the patrons and the climate in this region during the summer months. It also further shows the range of the chef and the fare that they are capable of preparing, unless they are just under the impression that people and tourists alike prefer eating slop. There is nothing fresh, flavorful or enjoyable about this new menu and hope it’s reviewed by the ownership before it becomes the death of this establishment.I feel terrible for the hard working servers, managers. and other staff that have to defend this despicable display of what should be culinary excellence. Please rethink these menus or hire someone who can execute a menu that you’re trying to achieve.Best wishes!

Overpriced wine tasting. Some of the wine were good, but still. $55.00 for 4- 4 oz pours? Might as well buy a bottle and hope you like it. Library wines were even more. Its wine people, not gold! That being said, it is a nice place. They did have decent entertainment.

EXCELLENT SERVICE. Great place. Nice ambience. Delicious food.In my opinion, and for what I’ve heard from my network, the restaurant industry in SoCal is NOT described for great (not even good) customer service – takes a long time to get seated, hostess have certain attitude, waitresses believe are made from a different cloth to take empty plates out of the way, you need to do acrobatics to ask for a drink, food, or the check.Well, Zach, Whitney and the rest of the team did the total opposite. They helped us to have a GREAT EXPERIENCE. Let me enunciate some of the highlights, we:1. Did not have a reservation, and the team was able to squeezes in.2. Were going to be seated in a certain table but the sun was directly on it so we asked to for another one and the hostess gladly suggested some other options.3. Sat at the table and +/- 2 minutes later Zack came to take the order4. Received the food not more than 8 minutes after the order was taken and it was on warm, delicious and in the right portions.5. Got approached twice by Whitney (Hospitality Manager) to, genuinely, ask if everything was on target6. Asked for the check and it got to us in 2 minutes and pricing was very decent7. Walked around the property and all employees would great us warmlyAll in all, I would highly recommend this place for many different reasons and for multiple occasion for all the things I mentioned, but MORE IMPORTANTYLL for the services.Thank you!Alex

Ive read other reviews, and I have to agree. I have been a wine member for quite some time. In my opinion, this was the the place to enjoy great wine, good food, good music with great company. Somehow, someone decided to switch the menu to Tuscan style. Im sorry if you havent heard this before.. its not working. The chicken pasta was bland, the caprice chicken sandwich, horrible. Lets not talk about the charcuterie board. Ham and cheese?? Really?? I saw a few people sending food back, and it sounds like this is a recurring thing. There are plenty of winery choices, May have to start exploring again. 😒😒

Ill confess I wanted to take off a star for how crowded it was--Im always a bit skeptical of the bigger places. But I now know that its crowded because the wine is GREAT. There was live music on a Friday night, which I also wanted to hate but kept finding my foot tapping to the music. I tasted all reds, and they were just all SO interesting and good. Lots of oaky leathery spice, which is my thang. Would come back. OH! And the descriptions of the wine, written by sommelier Penny, were SO awesome and different from most wine writeups. I enjoyed the detail and emotion they evoked.

Not enough compliments for this gem. The brunch spread was exceptional both in terms of quality and variety. The staff treat everyone like a VIP and the vistas elevate the experience a full level more then the wine already does. Had the pleasure of touring with Chrystal, sampling with Penny and the hospitality of Matt (GM). Dont miss this opportunity if venturing to Temecula. Cant wait to head back.

Our first visit here was for the NYE party. All the staff were friendly and attentive and the buffet for the event was amazing! We bought a bottle with dinner so we only tried the one and it ended up being too sweet for us which was a little disappointing since we asked for a very dry red.Unfortunately the rain cancelled the live music and we were all crammed inside making it loud and difficult to move around. All in all the vibe was of a boring wedding and we left shortly after we ate. The grounds were lovely and we enjoyed our stroll before we left.

Very poor experience Monday. 2 to 2.5 overall. Food was solid 4. Service was a 1. We arrived early 1130am. Was not crowded but our party of 6 was sat at a table that was half in the sun. oh well maybe they had a lot of reservations. Placed our food and drink orders at 1145am. Received drinks quick. My 2nd time here. Wine was good enough the 1st time to visit again. We finished the drinks within 30 mins. Waitress never came back to ask us if we wanted another.Food did not arrive until 1245pm (last plate almost 1pm). We checked out at 116pm after multiple tries of getting her attention. Again they were not crowded and this was the experience. Were in Temecula once a month. I dont plan on returning here. Live music was pleasant.

What a nice lil winery. Dwyn our server was very good and personable. We attended a birthday party and started with the cheese and fruit platter with some tasty red blends. The ambiance was refreshing with a cool vibe and amazing music by a young lady who sang some wonderful R&B and classic rock tunes. I must say this young lady could belt out some amazing music and so gracefully. Very enjoyable. I ordered the French dip with a side salad and it was very good. Thanks, Dwyn, for the recommendations and excellent service.Highly recommended.

Hello, my husband Frank Wilson and I are wine club members. The last two times we have been there our waiter has been Jim (he has a mustache in case you have more than one Jim). Our experience with him both time has been amazing. He has gone out of his way to take care of us. I watch him with your other customers and they are never wanting for anything at their tables either. Today the winery is busy with an event and many parties or so it seems to me. You should know that Jim is attentive, engaging, funny and knowledgeable. He gives you 110% as your employee because he excels at customer service. Both time he has been our waiter he has also gone out of his way to help this shift mate and support them in keeping all your customers happy. Will I always make an effort to ensure Jim is our waiter if he is here… YES!!! He goes above and beyond for you and for us! Please let him know that he is wonderful and his efforts are appreciated!!!

Last Friday was our 44th wedding anniversary. I made a 6:30 dinner reservation early in the week for my husband and I to celebrate and noted on the reservation that we were celebrating this special day. We wanted to stay local and try a winery that we hadnt been to for several years, back when they only had picnic tables.We were seated right away after checking in but no mention of a Happy Anniversary or any acknowedgment until I mentioned again that we were celebrating our 44th anniversay as we were seated. The host akcnowledged that and said Happy Anniversary. Our table looked across to the band playing over a wine barrel that cleaning supplies were stacked upon and later a few dirty dishes and wine glasses. Our entries, salads and garlic knots all arrived at the same time, not by our request and my husbands entree was cold and sent back.Our two glasses of wine were good and enjoyable. We spent over $100 dollars on our dinner and at no time were we offered a complimentary glass of champagne or a desert or anything for that matter in the celebration of our 44th Anniversary. I find this alone to be quite surprising especially from a winery!!! This combined with the cold food and the seating made for a very unmemorable celebration at Lorimar Winery.

I’m a wine club member, so I LOVE the wine. I’ve been here many times to taste. Never to eat from their restaurant. We made a reservation and were seated right away. We waited 10-15 minutes before we were even acknowledged. We ordered a pasta dish and a flat bread. Food was great. We also ordered a bottle of wine with the food that never came to our table before we finished. Before the food arrived, I went in to get two glasses of wine with my membership. We drank those glasses while we ate. We were not approached once by our server to see how our food was and AFTER we finished our food, he came to check on us. We said food was fine but we never got our bottle of wine. He said “oh shit” and immediately game back to our table with the bottle. A little late bud. For context, it was a Saturday afternoon but they were not busy like I’ve seen on some occasions. Anyway. I guess come with low expectations and hope for the best.

A must visit for good winesExcellent wines. Came here for a tasting on a Tuesday just after 12:00. Place was pretty quiet but the entertainment was setting up for 1:00. For almost an hour we had Chris all to ourselves getting loads of info about the wines and winery. Hes knowledgeable and getting ready to get his sommelier certification. We like bold reds in general but also tried the Chardonnay and Vermentino and both were excellent. Didnt have a bad wine in the group. Landed up joining their wine club for visitors who dont live in the area so we can get shipments sent to us in NY and hopefully will be back to this area to take advantage of the in-person perks. Highly suggest visiting this winery if you enjoy good wines.

While the Lorimar winery is beautiful, I’ve been to many wineries in the Temecula Valley, and I didn’t feel the food was very good. It really didn’t have a good taste and the presentation was kind of sloppy, the pizza came out cold, and the shrimp ceviche had no flavor at all. very mediocre. The band was so loud you couldn’t even have a conversation at the table at all. I don’t think it’s going to be my choice in the future.

I don’t understand how a winery can serve lunch on paper plates with plastic cutlery??? The food was awful. They served the charcuterie board with a sleeve of crackers in plastic wrap. The beef dip sandwich was super salty. I ordered the ceasar salad with no croutons as I’m GF and they brought it out with croutons. I picked all of them out and the waiter didn’t even apologize or care. The service was 2/10 and the food was 1/10. The winery itself was gorgeous and the outdoor space was nice. The wine was fine. I would try another winery in the area and give this one a miss.

We went to Lorimar Vineyards because it is one the wineries opened after 5pm, although I remember being there before COVID. It was so much fun.

Very happy we were able to go back and we are now planning for future outings. Kudos Lorimar Vineyards and Winery!! 🥂

Were not usually red wine people, but this place has delicious reds. The outdoor only seating is nice but not a ton of shade. Maybe 2 of each set of 4 chairs has umbrella coverage. Beautiful views. When you get a clear day, you can see straight to the snow capped mountains in the distance.

Im giving a 3 only because we have mixed feelings.. If It was only Matt. The manager, it would be a solid 5... but once we went outside, it was a 0... sorry 😞 we sat there for at least 15 minutes with no acknowledgement.. I had to get up and ask for a server. A nice girl took our appetizer order but said I am not your server... I will get her for you.. After finishing our appetizers, we probably sat another 10 minutes with empty plates and empty wine glasses.. We were never approached by a server all though our time there. one walked past our table several times. We decided, we are out of here. We really enjoy all the Winerys, I doubt well be back to this one... Sorry Matt

Get a Reservation!!Weve been members for a while. We werent sure how things were working out with Covid, and all, but we were surprised when we got there to find out that business is booming, and a reservation is needed if you want to sit on the patio where the band is.It turned out fine, we were on the grassy area kind of where the bathrooms are, we had plenty of seating, some propane heat lamps, and the music was low enough to where we could converse freely.Always a good time when we visit Lorimar!EDIT 5/17/2023: Perfect Blend Duo played tonight. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!EDIT 8/6/2023: Stopped by last night on our way back from a stressful family event. We picked up our selection, and they opened a bottle for us and gave us a couple glasses, even though they were not serving wine. The Tempranillo/Barbera was really good, and the perfect break before driving the rest of the way home.

Worst winery in the area. We had a wonderful experience inside with an experienced wait staffed who helped us select a great bottle of wine. We were told we could sit anywhere. We wanted to enjoy the area outside with the music and when we sat down a waiter aggressively told us to order food or leave. We asked him about what we were told inside and we’re told to sit outside of the winery in the sun. While the wine was good my experience was tainted by the interaction with the waiter.

What a fantastic place. Went to a few different Temecula winery spots and ended our night here, after calling ahead and seeing if they were cigar friendly. We were seated in the garden area which was very cozy and relaxing. Full menu was available in the garden has well. Wife had some delicious wine, I had a couple of cigar, and we shared a delicious meal while listening to live music. Cannot recommend this place enough. Erin, our waitress, took excellent care of us, and her pleasant sense of humor made the experience even better. Met a few nice people who were also seated in the garden area as well and shared some wonderful conversations. The best spot weve found in Temecula by far.

My husband and I have been coming out to Temecula for a few years now. Weve only been to about 9 wineries but our experience with Greg and Bonnie at Lorimar was by far the best wine tasting experience that weve ever had. Greg immediately made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. He was so warm, funny and educational! Greg really took the time to answer all our questions and give us great insights, fun anecdotes and really good information. He even got us to venture out of our usual wine selection while also catering to our usual palates, and we loved it! Cant wait to go back and are looking forward to our future shipments. Thanks Greg and Lorimar!We focused on Reds and were very pleased. We tend to go for dark heavy full bodied reds but were pleasantly surprised at their lighter selection. Their Sangiovese is the best Ive had and I dont usually like it. Same with the Muscat.

Great winery. As Temecula residents we waited 23 years to join the right winery. We prefer low tannin red wines. They have plenty. Great entertainment, member celebrations, good lunch choices, and they have a cozy location in old town Temecula in addition to the beautiful winery location. We have our, included, dinner wine at the old town location then walk a short distance to any number of excellent restaurants.

I called to get a quote on wedding pricing and availability. No one was available to speak with, so I left a message for the events department and requested a call back. A week goes by, and I hear nothing from Lorimar. So I call again, and speak with someone at the main number (I believe she said her name was Lori). I explain the situation, how I havent heard back from anyone, and tell her that I was calling to follow up. She was quite cold off the bat, only saying that they are probably just busy. She told me that I could try sending an email and see if I hear back on that faster. I told her that as I aleady left a message, I did not feel it was appropriate to ask me to try and hunt their salesperson down. I explained that I was really just looking to get my original call returned. She did not offer to help with this, and instead became extremely rude and unprofessional. She ended up just telling me okay, have a good day then, right before she hung up. I can only be thankful that I found out about the horrendous customer service at this establishment before I wrote them a very large check. I suggest you take your business elsewhere, to somewhere will it will actually be appreciated.

Was a busy night and we made reservations to celebreate my uncles birthday. The band was really good but volume was so loud you couldnt carry a conversation without yelling to the person sitting next to you. Server/waitress would disappear for 30+minutes and wed all be waiting around wanting to order more food or another round of drinks. By the end of the night they were out of the IPA we were ordering as well as the Sangria. Two of their more popular drinks and they ran out!?!Food was good.Would be willing to give it another go before ruling this place out.

Normally it would be 5 star but there was a group of us on Sunday and a lack of follow up from the server and having to hunt him down. Had we known there was going to be a private party and no music we would have secured a reservation somewhere else. A mad dash of bus boys cleared off the table which included a half bottle of wine and more than half a lunch. Confusion on the bill but they got their large tip even though it was not warranted. Would like to hear back from a manager on this.

Absolutely Abysmal. Visited here on Saturday night. Secured a reservation with my husband. Upon arrival, we waited over 30 minutes to even speak to someone to get seated. From there it just gets worse. Upon checking in for our 6pm reservation (which was booked several days before, and required credit card deposit of a minimum of $80), we were sat on the front patio. This front patio area had NO heaters, tables with that were broken, and literally no exaggeration not a single other party was sat in this unacceptable area. When we voiced our concerns to both the servers and hostesses were blatantly ignored. In fact after mentioning it to our server she disappeared for over 30 minutes. Meanwhile people without reservations were sat without pause on the back patio that had heaters and access to the live music.As a local resident and healthcare worker, I am absolutely disgusted at the service or lack there of. I will never ever come back to Lorimar. I would much rather spend my money at wineries that value my patronage. You would think in these tough times, that business would go above and beyond for their customers. Not. Lorimar. If I wanted to drink mediocre wine and eat $18 lunch meat charcuterie plate, I would have stayed home. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I was here for a wedding, and the place is outstanding. The only complaint, however minor, is that there was a birthday party going on at the facility and they were in close proximity. It was a bit disruptive to the wedding, but it was actually turned down during the ceremony. The staff should maybe take this into consideration in the future.Having said that the place is gorgeous. The weather was perfect. The wedding was beyond amazing. 💕

I made a reservation for 4pm on Saturday. When I went to check-in, the hostess (with long blonde hair, fair complexion) told me they could not find the reservation. I showed her my phone with the calendar invitation that Lorimar sent to me. She asked to see my credit card history to see if I had paid the deposit. I did not have enough service for it to load. I apologized and showed her the calendar invite with the confirmation. She said that because they couldn’t find me in the system, we were “out of luck”. I walked away and waited in line for one hour to be seated. Once we were sat, we waited 20 minutes for our waitress. We gave our order, waited another twenty to try the wine we picked. Ordered the wine. Waited another 20 to get the bottle. We were patient and the waitress was rude each time she interacted with us, consistently saying she was “very busy.” I will absolutely NEVER go back here. We were treated as if lied about our reservation and should be grateful to be able to be seated at all. WORST WINERY EVER.

Great selection, atmosphere and helpful staff, The time spent tasting here is a genuine break from the hustle and bustle of old town. In the evening, things heat up when the live entertainment hits the stage. Well worth the trip. The only draw back is that the food is provided by a food truck though very tasty.

Very disappointed with Lorimar. Hard to believe that they charge cork fee to members when they are picking up their shipment and decide to open one of the shipment bottles to enjoy at the winery. According to the Manager, the winery owner policy is that we have to take the wine and drink it AT HOME. I would suggest to find out the policy of the competition. We belong to several wineries and they treat the members very different. We even can go to the winery for lunch or dinner and bring our own wine from the same winery and no cork fee whatsoever.

Amazing! My CA blue burger was perfect! Wine is delicious and sweet (I like mine sweet) and I saw the sweetest thing, a little boy was really excited to see the food truck. When one of the chefs came out, the little boy waved with all his might. The chef not only waved back but came and spoke to the little one, then brought him back an ice cream! Needless to say I am very impressed!

Staff are lovely, but this place is the Spring Break of wine tasting. Good value and the wines are OK (but pretty unremarkable) so if you wanna come and get lit in a nice setting then you may like it. If you want to really enjoy the surrounding and some wines, and get a sense that the winery puts some effort and pride into production you may want to try somewhere else. Theres no shortage of other place round here.

This was supposed to be one of many winery stops but we ended up beginning and ending our day at this winery. We took home 6 bottles and became members because we were so impressed with their reds and surprisingly their whites. The service (Bella), seating on the patio, and the food was all stellar. This is a must stop in Temecula!

This year my husband and I have decided to explore other wineries instead of always sticking the usual. Lorimar was added to the list after we saw them on the RHOBH, and we visited on Saturday. Their tasting room is small, there was a big crowd, and only 2 somms. We didnt want to overwhelm the first guy who looked like he already had more than enough people. After heading to the second guy, I understood why everyone else was standing at the other end. The second guy was so busy chatting it up with a cougar he didnt immediately acknowledge us. When he did, he spent no time talking about the wine. You get 6 pours per tasting, and even though the cost of a tasting is cheaper than most in the area for a weekend I am so glad we opted to split the tasting. 4 of the 6 wines had a weird aftertaste. One was completely undrinkable. We were done in about 20 minutes, and decided not to walk around after the poor service, bad wine, etc. If the somm felt like he was going to get a better tip from the cougar table it became a self-fulling prophecy. Weve visited more than half of the wineries in Temecula, and this is now my least favorite. 2 stars for the aesthetics and I heard they have good entertainment.

Winery has great food, wine and entertainment. They have grown dramatically over the last 5 years. Service used to be great and they had a very welcoming environment. They have become very cold and more like a Wilson Creek or Southcoast. Most resent change was a cork fee of $15 if you want to open a bottle from your own shipment of thier wine. There are lots of other options in the Temecula Valley.

Beautiful winery, but not one I would recommend. I found the wines to be average with most of them tasting alike. The wine maker that they use here is the same one from the old Stuart(maybe Stewart) cellars (now Bel Vino). If you liked the wines from Stuart Cellars, you will like the wines here. I drink mostly reds and found nothing to get excited about.

Consistently one of the best wineries in Temecula. The property is landscaped beautifully they frequently have live music. The wine descriptions are often unique and quite entertaining, from quirky to outright silly.Its the perfect place for engagement or wedding photos or just plain hanging out with friends and family for a weekend trip.

Delicious wine! Everything was amazing, including the live music. We decided to get the 6 wine tastings. The only negative comment we have is regarding our bartender/server, Penny, who was very cold and didnt take the time to describe any of the wines. She rushed us, and didnt let us ask her any questions. We tried avoiding her and get the attention of other bartenders but she seemed to be very territorial. Besides Penny, everything else was perfect.

The hostess 50 something year old Karen was extremely rude. She sat us at the colored table wayyyyyyy in the back by a fountain with no other guests. She claimed the back patio was unavailable. Our server never came even though we waited 20 mins at the colored table!I do not recommend unless you are of the Aryan kind.

Great wine, disappointed with the blue cheese salad, looked like a iceburg salad with some slices of carrots, might as well have had a Kobe burger but staff... Cooked well done but still tasty. Staff was super nice and replaced the salad with the Apple salad which was better. Prices are high for what you get.

Located in the Temecula wine country, this winery offers beautiful views every direction you look. The structures on the grounds are beautiful inside and out. I can see that this would be a great place for a wedding reception. No matter where you park, you aren’t far from the main building.

Visited here at the recommendation of our AirBnB. Initially I was alittle upset the host didnt notify our server we were here so we waited 10/15 but once Richie, our server, was alerted he was awesome. Super informative and helpful with recommendations not only from Lorimar but for other places we were eventually heading too. Chatted about a coast trip from socal to norcal to check out the vineyards. Definitely recommend! Also, he showed major class dealing with an incredibly difficult table who were very demanding and borderline rude. He took it all in stride and kept a positive attitude even when they were not reciprocating. Thanks Richie and Lorimar.

If I could give 0 stars I would, I waited over 40 mins in line today for a table (which I had no problem waiting since it was a busy Saturday) and finally got seated but was not helped by any servers. While seated for 30 mins, not once did a server stop by to take our order even though we flagged down 5 different people.Don’t come here, they don’t enforce people to wear masks. There’s no markers to enforce social distancing while waiting in the queue. If you get seated, good luck getting served.

Not allowing kids Friday-Sunday. We’ll preface this-we loved this winery. We love their wine. And prior to today had nothing but positive things to say about it. We’ve been members for around 4 years. We were turned away today after showing up with my baby. After checking their website, I found it documented on their shop.lorimar page that Friday and Saturday no one 21 was permitted after 5 pm. The faq section states no children’s Friday-Sunday. So restrictions regarding children are listed but inconsistent. Again, we showed up today (Sunday, 3/28) with our 11 month old in a stroller and our friends with their 9 month old and were turned away by staff and told kids were not allowed “due to covid.” We were so disappointed to be told we couldn’t have our babies seated with us due to owner/manager imposed covid restrictions, but there were at least 12, if not more, people dancing maskless in front of live music and tables on the patio were probably 70-80% full. There was also a group of 5 or 6 people standing in the middle of the back pathway from the parking lot to the patio, just past the bathrooms, smoking without any staff enforcing covid regulations. Staff stated that these restrictions on children are dictated by management of the winery and are not county or state imposed. Other wineries in the area allow you to bring your children.Reading their website further, they’re listing an Easter Brunch Sunday April 4th, and are apparently ok with children for designated family events, but are charging $20/child for non members.... $18/kid I think for members. We’re just confused by the inconsistencies in covid policies. Kids allowed only if they can charge for them? and on specific days? Kids allowed Monday through Thursday....? Because that’s when families typically have time together....? Allowed to bring the kiddo on Sundays according to one of their web pages but another page contradicts that? Kids can’t come because of covid but please dance! Dance unmasked!We placed our membership on hold and are contemplating canceling entirely-struggling with this decision because we truly do love the wine, but with our work schedules, we can’t swing through Monday-Thursday, and we don’t care much to patronize a business that claims to be family friendly but doesn’t allow me to bring half my family. We took our business today to Ponte instead-no issues with children on the weekends there.

Attended a wedding here, and it was atrocious. Cold, but the tent had no sides. They also were not set up by the wedding start time, leading the wedding to begin an hour and a half late. Wedding location (barrel room) was right next to the parking lot, so cars came and went the whole time. Also no signage indicating which event was which, and there were two weddings and a prom that night. The wine was good and the food was ok, but not great. I would not recommend this as a wedding venue to anyone.

Covid has left many of us isolated and estranged from social enjoyment. Therefore, 7 of us were excited to be spending the evening of the 26th, 2021 enjoying each other at Lorimar enjoying some wine, food, and band.Dancing was prohibited. As the band played my friend stood up to dance at the table, not stepping from behind her chair. Security came and ordered her to sit, which she did. The band displayed a tip jar and a woman, looking to be in her 60s danced to the tip jar and then danced back, only to pull out another bill and danced back up to the tip jar. Everyone cheered her as tipping was permitted but dancing wasnt so she found a way to dance. Several people joined the tipping procedure.Eventually, a security guard told her that she had enjoyed her five minutes of fame, and the next time she danced up to the jar, she would be escorted out. This was completely unprofessional. It was a bit authoritarian to command no dancing to the tip jar when walking to the tip jar was acceptable. She was wearing a mask. However, if the business is going to insist on this control, personal comments regarding having five minutes of fame and attempting to humiliate a customer is inappropriate.On the last song, my friend stood up in her chair to dance before the night ended. The band was great and she wanted to dance once before we left. When she stood in front of her table, the SG immediately told her to sit down or shed need to leave, at which point she said,Fine, lets go. She began to dance to the exit. The manager for the evening came to her and asked her to stop dancing and leave~ guess he didnt realize she was leaving. She told him that she was leaving but would not stop dancing. The audience was cheering her on and another customer was laughing and filming her. She went to the camera and said,This is for freedom, and then danced back to the floor; at which point the manager came to her and told her to Get the F$%& out.This was extremely disappointing to me. I dont care how upset a manager becomes with a customer, your position requires professionalism and control.Until she walked near the camera, she had been the only one on the floor which led to the exit. She was certainly 6ft.from people. The behavior of the manager was uncalled for and unprofessional.The servers were great...

Recent changes to make this place 21+ have made it not family friendly. They also have continued to add more and more restrictions that aren’t covid specific that have made the winery less appealing.Myself and 3 other friends have cancelled memberships due to poor service, mishandled shipments, rude staff, weird rules around the grass/courtyard areas (precovid). It’s hard to justify this behavior when Wilson has been covid complaint and much more family friendly and flexible.It’s sad to see one the best red wine wineries fall so far from grace. Let’s hope they right the ship when covid restrictions ease up.

Service was literally non existent... for just us? We must’ve been in some server-less void? The hostess even stopped to talk to another worker about their costume for a minute while leading us to our table which I thought was kind of strange.I’d put zero if possible. Thanks for wasting our time I guess.Timeline:4:10 pm we sat down4:15 pm another group sat down behind us4:20 pm that group behind us had wine already4:25 pm one person from the group went to ask where our waiter was, they replied they’ll be around to us soon....4:30 pm another group sat down in front of us4:40 pm that group second group got a server waiting on them...So, these times are approximations but even the second group that sat down after us was looking around for their server.

I was sceptical that Temecula Valley produced high quality red wines, but man was I wrong. I have been a decades old customer of Paso zins and thought there is no way Temecula could compare. I was really impressed with Lorimars quality and honestly they are just as good as any other great California red wine maker. Give them a try, Im pretty confident you will not be disappointed. The winery and grounds are fine. Nothing over the top, but decent. It gets tremendously crowded and unfortunately not everyone partaking is what Id describe as a mature, responsible adult. I could certainly do without the idiots that I suspect frequent all the area wineries, but you can always just enjoy the wine on your own in a little more peace and tranquility. Sure, they had a band, which honestly wasnt that great, but it drew the crowds and Im sure also sold the wine.

I think this winery is beautiful, nice place to relax at and we absolutely love coming in to see the art displayed. On the other hand our server Penny was the reason I chose 1 star, I was completely dissatisfied, the lack of customer service she gave my girlfriend and I was unacceptable. Too bad I wont be coming back.

Today was disappointing, and I stopped my membership. We are commonly give four tastings a month or one glass of wine in place of the tasting. I did not receive an email about the changes, but as a member its one glass now. Also, I like the Chardonnay and could not get this glass because it is low in volume. Ive been a member for a couple of years and members are treated unwelcome.

Be our guest! Be our guest! Put our service to the test! Thank you to my partner in crime I went from Waitlist to plus one guest! So this means Im driving of course. This event was a winos dream. Im not a wino but I am slowly making my way to the dark side. Maybe I need to attend some brewery tours to restore balance to the force.The weather was perfect! After close to a 100 degree weather going to Temecula seem like the least likely place to go given Im only minutes from the beach. It may sound like I was going the wrong way to stay cool but in Wine country its all good the breeze was just right as the sun was setting. The perfect location for couples. If you dont have a special someone Im sure you could have met a new friend here.The food was delicious salads, fries, and a Kobe burger didnt seem like foods to pair with wine. Dude wheres my beer? Just kidding. We had a tasting card that allowed 5 tastings and a glass of wine at the end. I didnt finish my card but I was feeling pretty good.
