Is this a casual place? Is there a dress code for the concerts?

Dress for comfort,men and women dress as if they were going to the beach..some dress as if they are going to an inside venue..no one cares as long as you are enjoying the entertainment..

Are pets allowed in the restaurant patio area?

Yes. Or, at least I've seen dogs in the patio area numerous times.

Are the Friday concerts being held given the most recent CDC guidelines?

I don't know about Thorton, but I wouldn't get my hopes up, Lorimar canceled their events. Also there seems to be a ban on crowds over 50 people and wine tasting is also not allowed, although I heard many are available for pickup or shipping.

I don't see a 2 for 1 tasting on this site for 2020 only 2019. Are they not offering this anymore?

I feel like I was able to do it in January of this year. Maybe call and see if they'll honor their website coupon since they still have it up.

Is the restaurant 21 and older only?

21 & over for wine...plenty of room outdoor patio restaurant for everyone to enjoy.

What is the price of the Halloween party?

You need to check their website or call them

What is the restaurants name?

Champagne Coffee

How much for the tour

Different prices depending on which tour you choose. Calling ahead of time is best.

Tried red wine flight and it was very good. Also had a few different appetizers and they were also great. The calamari was excellent and is a must try

This is a nice winery with a good restaurant for lunch. Lots of parking available. Their concert season brings in really good musicians and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. It’s an outside venue and you can buy a ticket for just the concert or a package that includes a very good 3-course dinner, which is served during the concert. Tables have table cloths and nice glassware - and dance floor is also open during concert. It’s a great date night - highly recommend.

We loved this winery. The sparkling wine is made by méthode champenoise and is truly 👌 we were also surprised with a fascinating and thorough tour given by Shelagh. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Had a wonderful 17th year Anniversary with my husband. Service was the best I had in years and they all went above and beyond during the end of their work day to make my son comfortable. I can't help but praise them for my positive experience. This was my second time in Temecula at Thornton Winery. Husband enjoyed the food, son slept through it comfortably because waiter provided him a makeshift pillow, and they surprised us with dessert to celebrate our day. I love the kiss of chocolate wine so much, I took a bottle home. Thank you Thornton for making our experience a memorable one. Much love and appreciation to all staff.

Over priced! Went for lunch and I dont think I’ll ever go back. Turkey sandwich $23?!? My wife and I split that with a flight of champagne “basically tastings” another $30 and somehow got charge a split meal charge without being notified. Service good but overpriced 😞

Went last night to the Summer Horn concert, the concert was outstanding, by all the performers. I always do the VIP setting. Last night our table alone with 2 other ladies, we were so cramped in. The tables are so closed together, no leg room. I will keep attending the concerts but will not do VIP anymore. The food was not that great last night, what they charge for a VIP package one would think a soft drink and lemonade would come with the meal, it didn't.

Thornton Winery has been a great experience! The staff was very accomodating and friendly. The wine tasting was reasonably priced and was a good value. The menu options for lunch and dinner was very nice and moderately priced for the quality of the food. It was visually fun, and tasted great! Loved the charcuterie platter! Definately one not to miss! Atmosphere is open and inviting, and provides a perfect relaxing experience. Don't miss the gift shop!

Really bad service. We had reservations. Waiter never took our order until 50min after. Then we asked for them to clean our table and didn’t until we asked 3 times to do it. We asked the waiter if they took the yelp 2/1 they honored the people behind us and to our left but when it came to us.

After being members for 2 yrs and recently putting our membership on hold when we lost our jobs bc of covid-19, they refused a free tasting when we drove down from Burbank to pick up our 4 bottles of wine. No apology, no empathy. Good riddance to Thornton!

Such a nice and beautiful place. This is my third visit, and the staff have all been lovely. They're all fairly to very knowledgeable about the wines. I especially recommend Nick. He really knows his stuff. The wines are very good, and the food, though expensive, is excellent. You can't beat the atmosphere, either. They have lots of outdoor seating, well shaded, with a lovely view. The music isn't too loud, either, at least on the upper patio. I wouldn't drive to Temecula just to come here, but if I'm anywhere near, this is the place to come.

Well deserved chill day before 4th of July Thornton winery was the second stop today provided a nice atmosphere even during these difficult times. Masked up as usual which was good to see, these precautions are carried out before entering their establishment. Reservation were needed to eat or wait for a long time. Enjoyed the time I spent there with my girl, hope to visit again.

Worst brunch in California. Food was nothing special, actually it was pretty bad. Way overpriced. Awful service. Tacky atmosphere. Don’t recommend this place at all. If you’re looking for a good brunch spot - try Miramonte, right down the road. Best breakfast ever!

Spinach salads with goat cheese cake patty was excellent! Vermentino was crisp but lacked the complexity of flavor that I expected. Christy was a great server. Butterscotch bread pudding was sweet and dangerous!

We came there for a nice breakfast on Sunday. They had some sound guys checking his own voice for 1 and 1/2 hours. My husband is a sound board engineer and had never seen something like this ever. As a therapist the sound guys diagnosis is a narcissist. Over all very disrupted and in called for. People were picking up their wine glasses and moving to get away from the hour and a half of the sound guy listening to his own voice. I would recommend not to go there before a concert is playing

We had the same experience as Bobby. We got served water, and then waited. There was staff everywhere but couldn't get our waiters attention for 20 minutes or so. We almost left. Just as we were about to, he showed up so we stayed. To say the food is overpriced is an understatement. Nothing wrong with it, but $25 for a cheeseburger that was good, but nothing special. So maybe the ambience is amazing, nah. Nothing special there also. For that kind of money, I expect stellar service and possibly a view. Next time will pass. Better choices around.

This review is for the RESTAURANT only. We did not visit the winery. We were recommend to come here for the food, the burgers in particular. I am not sure if it was what we ordered (chicken burger and shrimp scampi), but we were not impressed. We felt for the portions and quality of the food, it was not worth it. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and we had nice table by the window, but we were just not impressed by the food at all and felt we should have spent our money elsewhere.

Checked out this winery restaurant with the wife on an anniversary trip to Temecula. Purchased a three glass wine flight in reduced sized glasses. Wine was average at best. Food was incredibly overpriced and our order got messed up. Will not go back and would not recommend.

Even amid the busyness Thornton Winery still managed to be a peaceful and serene location, we were a large group and we had a very nice time and we had the pleasure of enjoying our wine within the view of a bridal party that was getting ready for their daughters wedding.The father of the bride shared a lovely note he had just received from his daughter and we raised our glasses and toasted the happy couple. Many other guests stopped to chat with us. A lot of activity and the staff definitely had their hands full, and yet It was still rather magical...
