Mount Palomar Winery

Mount Palomar Winery Review

One of the original Temecula Valley wineries, opened in 1969, introduced Sangiovese grapes, a varietal that has proven perfectly suited to the region's soil and climate. New owners have transformed the homey winery into a grand Mediterranean villa with acres of gardens and trees. The wine menu lists vintages made from grapes brought from Italy nearly 50 years ago. Try the dry Sangiovese or Bordeaux-style Meritage. Shorty's Bistro, open for lunch daily and for dinner on Fridays and weekends, presents live entertainment on Friday nights.
