Monte De Oro Winery - Temecula

After the tasting, we stayed for lunch and decided to try their bacon cheeseburger, as the staff at the tasting bar boasted about their burgers. Being a fan of a good burger, I ordered mine medium rare. Unfortunately, what arrived at our table was an overcooked patty topped with American cheese, which really isn’t high-quality cheese, accompanied by a side of potato chips. For $22.00, one would expect a burger cooked properly, served with at least some fries instead of cheap chips. Moreover, the bun was so dry that the edges were hard and crunchy—not from toasting, but from lack of moisture. Both my friend and I left that part of the bun untouched on our plates. If they can't prepare a burger correctly, with quality cheese and a side of fries, they might be better off serving a well-crafted charcuterie board. It requires no cooking and would complement the wines beautifully, as this is a winery after all. This place has incredible potential, but it unfortunately doesn't live up to its visual appeal. On the plus side, the servers and staff were all friendly and professional; they are undoubtedly the winery’s greatest asset.

This review is for anyone considering booking their wedding in Temecula. You can't go wrong by choosing Monte De Oro for your special day! Working with Brittany Roderick was absolutely amazing; she was incredibly organized and attentive throughout our nearly year-long planning process. As our wedding date of 5/20/23 drew near, she went above and beyond to ensure that my wife and I had the most unforgettable day. Do yourself a favor and get married here—you won't regret it!

My girlfriend and I visit this restaurant every now and then, and this was the second time we've interacted with a staff member named Bree. She is incredibly friendly and engaging. The food was excellent, too!

Very nice wine. Excellent food and beautiful view. I highly recommend this place for out of towners. It’s very elegant and nice.

The wine is good but unfortunately they are not dog friendly multiple websites say it is but check google maps it’s a bit more accurate than other people’s websites
