Don't miss out on this winery! The wines are delicious and the staff are very friendly! We visited several wineries and Calloway exceeded my expectations!
Tough decision on rating because our wine server was very nice and they didn't rush us to finish even though we were there from 4:50-5:10 with 5 o'clock closing. Just didn't find the wines all that good. Hate to be a northern Califonia wine snob, but they just didn't measure up to Monterey, Paso Robles, Napa, Sonoma or even Los Olivos. Same with the scenery. Nice, but there is better.
Can you say Late Harvest Chardonnay? OMG! The absolute best sweet wine on earth. I so do not drink dry white wine such as Chardonnay, but this late harvest is off the hook! I have been getting it for a few years and it never disappoints. I have had a wine club here for a few years and get it shipped to Nevada. We recently took my father there, who does not drink wine, but we attended the harvest festival and he LOVED the sweet wine. I couldn't believe it--he is a beer drinker for sure! My husband loves their red, but I don't know which ones he likes since they never stay in the house long! Go here for sure!
We had an excellent tour of Callaway and learned about the winery history and how the wine is made. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable.
Don't spend your time or money visiting this winery when there are so many other nicer wineries in Temecula... What an awful experience! The wine tasting room is utterly sterile. On one wall they even have "wine vending machines" where you can insert a pre-paid "wine card" to try the wines without any human interaction. Wait! That might have been a better experience! Our wine server- Cole - was utterly inattentive and inept. If we were using the wine vending machines at least we wouldn't have had to waste so much time waiting to be served. It was not that the tasting room was crowded...it was pretty empty, and in retrospect, with good reason. Lastly, besides the poor service and the unattractive tasting room, the wine was not very good. I cannot comment on the restaurant; we had no desire to spend any more time at Callaway.
Great experience. The people were helpful and knowledgeable. Their wine club is a good deal. Excellent wine!
this restaurant stands out above the other wineries both structurally and food wise.they have a very creative chef who is not afraid to try something new. We had black truffle crostinis which were delicious, fish special superb. Didn't really taste many wines as we spent most of the time at their restaurant, maybe next time it will be just wine tasting....
Callaway has always been one of the best wineries in the Temecula Valley. Their remodeled tasting room allows for lots of space to taste. Special ares with great view upstairs for members. Staff are very friendly and always happy to see you.
Loved this place! Everything about it was spacious and beautiful. The most unique feature was the dispensing wine machines. You use your debit or credit card to dispense wines of your choice....a nice alternative to the usual tastings. The wine selections were superb. I am glad we stopped here.
We were staying in San Diego for the night and arrived late in the day but I wanted to make sure that I experienced a Temecula Valley wine tasting experience before the day was over. Glad we chose Callaway! A very nice tasting room with lovely views of their estate. Their wines were excellent and the server was pleasant and informative. I purchased several bottles to take home! Definitely will visit here again in the future!
