- Melvin UdallPasadena, California143 contributionsGreat Monday with Music & WineMy wife and I visited Lorimar Vineyard & Winery in Temecula this week and we had an amazing time. The reception we got from the moment we walked in was the best, friendly and cordial. We had two of their flights, one all reds and one was a mix of red and white. Our waiter, Jake, was definitely the epitome of what a waiter should be: friendly, funny, helpful and gave great suggestions. Our three favorite wines were the 2017 Meritage, 2019 Zinfandel and 2019 GSM, all three were reds. Appetizers and lunch were tasty and just the perfect portions. Price was also just perfect. Our afternoon was even better with their live music provided by George & Grace Acoustic Jukebox. They are a husband and wife duet who played just about every genre from any decade you requested. Great musicians and she’s a great singer. They’re very interactive with the audience and they’re very fun to listen to. Overall, Lorimar is the best place to go to.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 6 December 2023
- ilovetotravel2Toronto, Canada169 contributionsBeautiful views and great wine - what else can you ask for?Beautiful, picturesque vineyard with the mountains as a backdrop behind the vines. Wines were fabulous and the sommelier was very knowledgeable. The restaurant had live music which was great. Many spots to take your glass and enjoy the views. Would definitely return.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 May 2024
- Jobsy72Whitby, Canada24 contributionsGreat Location & StaffFirst winery on our tour and they didn’t disappoint. Sommelier was very knowledgeable and guided our tasting based on our taste buds. The grounds were beautiful and had that old style feel. They had a live band playing various types of music. The wines we tasted were as described by the sommelier. Great atmosphere. We highly recommend this placeVisited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 May 2024

Saw that they had live music from 1-4 PM, so decided to stop in after lunch at a nearby winery. Outdoor huge patio area- some space covered, some open for the sunshine- and a good sized permanent stage. Wine was quite good and the music was a great touch. Great way to relax and enjoy a beautiful day.

We visited 3 wineries on our tour. This one is phenomenal. The restaurant where the wine tasting was had not only delicious wine but delicious food too. And ICE WATER. Nothing looks so good in triple digit heat. 10/10 would come again and bring friends.

My husband and I came here for lunch and to taste a few wines. We ordered the red and white flight so that we could each try both. The pours were perfect; there was enough in each glass that we both could taste a substantial amount. And what we tasted was truly delicious!!!! We ordered the ceviche and a flat bread, both of which were very tasty. I took my glass of wine and wandered the property, stopping to enjoy the views and take photos. Beautiful landscape, vineyard, and outdoor tasting area. Would highly recommend!

How could service possibly be worse than this?
It took, no exaggeration, 16 minutes for a server/pourer to acknowledge our table. Then, after we ordered a white wine flight and a fig/cheese flatbread, there passed another 12 minutes.
To top it off, the flatbread never arrived and when I told the server to cancel it, she replied, “That’s good because the person who does these is already gone for the day.”
If there was ever a need for a phrase with the words ‘service nightmare’, this would be well-deserving.
Now, onto the wines and the property...
The whites were quite good: Smooth, silky, full, and in some cases, slightly sweet.
Lorimar’s property and outdoor seating were both exceptional in design, decor, layout, and pandemic spacing.
If the service improves to ‘average’, this is a 5-star visit.

This is my first time wine tasting in Temecula and I was completely impressed! I had a wonderful experience here. My friend took me and my husband as our first stop.
I loved how it wasn’t bustling or overwhelming like other places. There was plenty of space for me to enjoy my wine and food. I ordered a red flight for myself while my husband had the white flight. They were delicious! We ended purchasing a few bottles.
We also had the cheese and meat plate which wasn’t too bad. We came early and ended up leaving around 1:30pm to get to the next location. It started to pick up then. Definitely recommend to visit!!

It's been a while since I've been there (about once every 9 months). General Management has changed 2 times in the last 2 years which indicates problems. Staff seemed to turn over by 100%. New staff is not as customer service oriented.
Food is the same as before, from a food truck (no on-site restaurant like other wineries in the area). Definitely a gap in the price / value equation. Wine is OK, beer selection is decent, but both are overpriced compared to other wineries.
Evening music is just OK. It seems they have the same bands on rotation for the past several years. Not much imagination and kind of boring hearing the same old stuff played by different bands. Surprising since one of the core foundations of their marketing differentiation here is music!
Net-Net: Management has gotten complacent because the out of town crowd doesn't know any better. There are better wineries in the area (in no particular order): Wilson Creek, Monte De Oro, South Coast, to name a few.

Amazing atmosphere reminiscent of Tuscany with beautiful vineyard views. We absolutely loved dining at Lorimar's outdoor restaurant. I do have to say we rarely drink alcohol so we did not have any wine. We loved the flatbreads made for us by Woody in the wood charcoal brick pizza oven that just happened to be next to our table. Woody is so friendly and a talented chef and was one of the highlights of our visit to Lorimar. Our server Hunter was also friendly and did an excellent job.
We will absolutely visit Lorimar again in the future. I highly recommend it.

We just came for a simple lunch and a good glass of wine... We didn't get what we expected, we got more. We ordered a glass of wine and some lunch with friends and didnt expect excellent service, spot on recommendations, and such attention to detail that we received. Lou made our day, week, and maybe month with his genuine service. We felt like we were in Lou's livingroom, relaxed and taken care of. Lou is so knowledgeable on his wines and recommended a few that are now our new favorites.
We will return to say hello to our new friend for life.. Lou! Unforgettable moments... Bravo! ❤

Spacious wine tasting room. The dining is outdoor however, they do have LOTS of heaters. We went there in October and then again in December and had a fabulous time. The staff is great! There is live music and dancing on the weekends. Can't beat it!!

Will there be a band playing on Wednesday, December 19?
Written 17 November 2018
Their website lists the Bands and days they are having entertainment. It currently only shows the Bands for November.
You can call them and ask if they have the schedule for December to see what is planned.
