Callaway Vineyard Winery - Temecula

Nestled in the rolling hills of Temecula's wine country, Callaway Winery is a charming and picturesque destination for wine enthusiasts and foodies alike. My recent dinner experience at Callaway Winery was truly unforgettable, as the combination of exquisite cuisine, impeccable service, and the breathtaking vineyard views made for a magical evening. My recent dining experience at Callaway Winery in Temecula was an absolute culinary delight. From the moment I walked into the winery, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the stage for an extraordinary evening of gastronomic pleasures. The menu at Callaway Winery boasts a tantalizing array of farm-to-table dishes, expertly crafted by their culinary team. To start, I ordered the Shrimp Roll Salad and Oxtail for appetizers, and they did not disappoint. The Shrimp Roll Salad was a refreshing medley of plump shrimp, crisp lettuce, and tangy dressing, all wrapped in a delicate roll. The Oxtail, on the other hand, was a succulent treat with tender meat that melted in my mouth, paired with rich flavors and a hint of spices that left me craving for more. Both dishes were beautifully presented and showcased the culinary prowess of the chef. For the main course, I opted for the Roasted Duck Breast and Catfish Crawfish Etouffee. The Roasted Duck Breast was a masterpiece, with perfectly cooked duck breast that was juicy and flavorful, complemented by a luscious cherry sauce that added a sweet and tangy contrast. The dish was accompanied by a medley of seasonal vegetables that added a burst of freshness to the plate. The Catfish Crawfish Etouffee was equally impressive, with the tender catfish and succulent crawfish cooked to perfection in a rich and flavorful sauce, served over a bed of creamy rice. The dish had just the right amount of spiciness and depth of flavors, leaving me with a satisfied palate. To accompany my meal, I indulged in a bottle of Callaway Winery's house wine, which was a delightful choice. The sommelier's recommendation was spot-on, and the wine perfectly complemented the flavors of the dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. The service at Callaway Winery was exemplary, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who took care of every detail. The waitstaff was prompt, friendly, and well-versed in the menu, providing helpful suggestions and accommodating any special requests. What made my dining experience even more memorable was the picturesque vineyard views that surrounded the winery. The sun set over the rolling hills, casting a warm glow on the vineyards, creating a serene and enchanting ambiance. I can't wait to return and create more cherished memories at this enchanting establishment.

The grounds are gorgeous with a wine tasting area and a beautiful indoor restaurant. They allowed our little fluffy dog to come in for lunch and we had their cheese appetizer and calamari stuffed with chorizo. Both were abundant and delicious. The restaurant has amazing views of the vineyard, and I can’t say enough about how pretty it was.

I am not the biggest fan of wine but going here was an experience for sure. The scenery was beautiful and the setting was equally pretty. I got the wine tasting set which was 25$ per person. It gives you 6 tickets to try different wines. The server was very nice. I definitely prefer the sweet/dessert wines.

This place was great! I went later in the day on a Sunday afternoon, we walked around and then did a tasting inside. They were closing inside so then we got a glass of wine from the restaurant and sat out on the patio to watch the sunset. The wine is really good, next time I’d like to try the restaurant, the menu looks great.

Stunning venue with free live music and nearby grass field with shade. Wonderful view of the mountains and grapevines in the summer. Tasty wine that is about $12-20 per glass. Very enjoyable and would absolutely return.
