“Our amazing wedding at the Ponte Winery 3/10/2013”

Reviewed 19 April 2013

The Ponte Winery is the best place to get married. The venue is beautiful, the staff are amazing, the food is delicious and it is very affordable. Kelsey Smith did an amazing job as the wedding coordinator and made sure all the vendors arrived and were set up. The bridal assistant they provided made sure me and my wife had... More

“Our Wedding Day”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

We weren't sure where my wife and I wanted to get married. We had heard of Temecula, Ca. as a nice location to marry, so we took a wine tour of Temecula, Ca. of the wineries in the area. Our tour took us to some beautiful wineries, but none that just said, "ths is it!" Someone on the tour recommended... More

“Beautiful Location”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

Had a very nice lunch here, and a flight of wines with it. The wine we had was very good. The service seemed to be a little slow. The area is beautiful, and the day we were there a wedding was going on. I am sure the wedding pictures were going to be great with such a nice setting. There... More

“Fantastic View”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

The grounds were beautiful. The winery was a little busy, but they have no problem with you buying a glass and just going away to enjoy the weather and views. Very nice staff!

“Great venue”

Reviewed 18 March 2013

The gardens outside were beautiful. It was a Saturday and so, as would be expected, the actual tasting area was quite crowded. Nonetheless, Fred was quite attentive and did provide great service as did the other staff members even after we left his area. The bathrooms were impeccable, which is a must from my standpoint as it often tells you... More

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your visit, and that our staff helped make your day a memorable one! Tastings during the week (Monday-Friday) are only $12, and often offers a less crowded experience if you are available to visit during the week. Cheers, Amanda M. More

My mother used to be a member of Ponte winery when she lived in Murrieta, and we enjoyed going there for lunch in their beautiful patio and outdoor seating area. Their Chardonnay is wonderful. We hadn't been back in a year and returned the other day for lunch with other family members. As usual, the venue is wonderful. But this... More

Reviewed 2 March 2013

My husband and I were so impressed with the level of professionalism, organization, and quality Ponte had to offer. Everything was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The only thing I would recommend is giving the wait service a heads up if you have time schedule you'd like to maintain. The service changed once we were in the Pavilion... More
