Jason was funny and knowledgable...made it a fun stop. We liked all of the wines and loved two: Driveway Red and the port wine. Best port wine we have ever sampled. Highly recommended.
Hart is a quaint family winery that has a simple, rustic tasting room. There is a nice patio outside with pretty views. Nothing fancy, the focus is on the wine here. We arrived at 10:00am on a Sunday and there was only one other couple in the tasting room. Hart is known for their reds, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. Brianne greeted us with a smile and explained their tasting menu of 6 wines for $12. There were many wines to choose from, so we each bought a tasting and tried 10 different wines between the 2 of us. The wines were on par with some of our favorite wineries in Napa Valley and the central coast wine country. Brianne was very knowledgeable about all the wines and explained the characteristics/ process of each wine we tried. She was also very helpful in suggesting other boutique wineries in the area that are known for reds. We left with a couple of bottles and will visit again on our next rip to Temecula.
Was recommencd to this winery for it's white wine and visited them late in the day on a Wednesday. Small tasting room with outdoor seating but with big wines. Family run and very friendly, enjoyed talking with family learning about there wines. This winery is all about making good wine for you to enjoy. Come here with a camera for the views and time to enjoy some good wine.
Surprised to see that they are open at 9:00 am, so go here first since all the others don't open until 10 or 11 am. Not a big tasting room but pleasant. Breann provided the tasting. We liked the Grenache to take home. The website has 6 tastings for 10.00 it was $12.00. But that is the going price for tastings. Average wines but nice.
All of our pours were consistently good and delicious . Brianne was lovely, extremely knowledgable, personable and we so enjoyed our Hart experience with her. Regrettably we forgot to tip....but we will double it next time.
Not as fancy as most of the wineries in the area. Tastings were in a shed like building, The bar was a piece of plywood sitting on barrels. She did give us coupons for other wineries in the area to try thier wine
Hart was the first stop on our personalized wine tour with Tom, from Wineormous. The wines were great and we enjoyed the opportunity of talking with some of the members of this family of winemakers. As other reviewers have said, this place is all about wine and the art of wine making. Take your time, ask questions, listen and enjoy.Hart Winery will be at the top of the list next time we visit Temecula.
This is a family owned winery. My wife and I have been coming here when we are in town for almost 30 years. We live in Las Vegas but come here at least four times a year to pick up wine. This is a winery that puts their effort and money into making great wines. The tasting room is just that, a place to taste their wines, it's not a huge edifice that lesser wineries hide behind. Rosalie is usually serving wines in the tasting room and if you come by late in the day you might see Joe Hart or his son Jim stopping in to say hi. Jim's wife Christine works at the winery as well and she and Rosalie are great sources for information about Temecula.Whatever wineries you decide to visit this is the one you cannot miss.
The tasting room is a barn with plywood over wine barrels to serve as the tasting bar. Not the most impressive especially when compared to the other wineries in Temecula. If I was only rating the facility, it would be one out of five stars. The benefit here is the quality of the people pouring and their interaction with the customer. Plus, they open at 0900, an hour before any of the others. We ended up buying the Rousanne and the Tres Hermanos. There web site lists the tasting as 6 for $10 but we paid $12. Maybe because it was Memorial Day weekend? Maybe they just raised the price and didn't update the website? We also liked their logo wine glass and bought one for $5.
What a great job they have done at this great winery since they have remodeled. It looks and feels great. As always, the wines are fantastic!
