    It was very busy and there was long waiting periods for everything. This was the first time I experienced that kind of wait. Overall, Oak Mountain is one of our favorite wineries! They’re fabulous with dogs. It was just one of those days this particular time We will be back!

    James was amazing!!! We went for my 21st birthday on March 23, and the atmosphere was outstanding. I’m glad he was able to guide us through each wine we tried as he shared some funny stories with us. Would recommend for anyone going wine tasting for the first time

    I bought a Groupon for my family for Christmas and hadn’t been to the Cave before but was very excited to visit. Judy was an incredible tour guide and exceeded all of our expectations. She was super friendly and knowledgeable about the winery, cave, and Temecula history—she even brought us extra cheese during lunch since most of my family is vegetarian and didn’t eat the charcuterie meat. All of the wine was amazing, we started off with sparkling, tried a few whites while touring outside, then wrapped up with reds during lunch with our charcuterie boards (please note they come pre-wrapped for everyone in the group, so definitely call ahead to request vegetarian early if you have any dietary requests!) We ended up purchasing five bottles of wine and then went outside to order a few more delicious appetizers from the Cave restaurant (the Pulled Cheese Bread was our favorite). We can’t wait to visit again soon!

    We sat outside because it was a beautiful day! Our server, Clare, was amazing and the food- as always- was delicious. The nice thing about eating at Oak Mountain is that you’re not just showing up for a meal, you can walk into the tasting room you can sit on the patio you can sit out on the lawn with live music. There’s always some fun things going on.

    Great scenery as you would expect from a winery. Food was fair, service slow although the waiter had a good attitude.
