Penny is great! She gave us an informative tour of the winery and we had wine tastings along the way. Everyone was friendly and personable even with the crowd, and that sets them apart from other wineries! Thank you Lorimar, we will see you again!
I visited the Lorimer winery on my last trip to Temecula. This time I stopped by the loft location in downtown. I can't believe I didn't hear about this place before. It was small but cozy. Renee was very welcoming and by far one of the nicest people I have ever met. We first went on a Thursday night and since there weren't too many people, we had a delightful conversation with Renee. Her customer service alone made my husband and I come back again the next night. Friday night was a lot more crowded but that didn't stop Renee from greeting us and making us feel at home again. My husband and I had a glass of wine and purchased a bottle to take home. As far as the wines go, I love my sweet desert wines. So the Muscat was perfect for me. My husband enjoyed all the red wines. If you have an hour or two and happen to be in the old town area, you should definitely stop by the Loft.
Fantastic wines, they are a bit pricey, ask about specials. Kevin is fantastic, we told him the type of wine we liked ( each of us with totally different tastes) and he always picked winners. They have live music outside which is nice, but come for the excellent wines and selection.
Very nice. The main tasting room was closed for the day but they had another room open. It was extremely hot this day. The only thing that was annoying were the flies due to the heat but this was not their fault. Also, they had an outdoor area but if you wanted an umbrella, you had to stand. If you wanted to sit in the grass area, there was no umbrella and you were in the extreme heat. Kevin helped us and he was exceptionally courteous. At a certain point, I just told what kind of wine I normally drank and he recommended what to taste. He had very good recommendations. Their wine was better than some of the other wineries we went to - but the service and friendliness made it even a better experience. They didn't just pour and walk away. They engaged you. I would definitely go back.
We found a coupon for their wine tasting on the Temecula website that is good on the weekend. Wines were delicious and the wine tasting room in Temecula has a nice sitting area where we could sit and chat.
We visited Lorimar two weeks ago as part of our personalized wine tour with Tom, from Wineormous. We enjoyed our time there and tasted some excellent wines. They had sold out of a few of their red wines so we were given the opportunity to taste several of their reserve wines, which was a nice bonus. They have a nice tasting room and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We tasted only red wines and enjoyed them all.
We have been wine-tasting at Lorimar several times and always enjoy it. We have found some delicious and unique wines here, enjoyed the gift shop and grounds, and will certainly visit again!
What a nice place to visit. Everyone is so friendly in the area. Its was so easy to stop in each place along the way.
Nice venue with a gazebo area for weddings, lots of outdoor seating area and live music on Sunday. Instead of the tasting, we decided to take advantage of the $30 for $50 worth yelp deal, and buy a bottle to enjoy outdoors. They were nice and generous, letting us taste different wines before we made our purchase.Good selection of snacks and cute souvenirs too!
This was the first wine tasting every for my wife and I, and while we at least knew a little bit, we were of course a bit nervous at being a couple of obvious yokels showing up to taste wine.Being early birds we were there 15 mins before opening so we walked around. Beautiful place, and you could see they are developing a section mid a vineyard for weddings, it's going to be stunning when they are done (and stunning view). The couple staff we saw prior to opening seemed comfortable with people wandering around.When they opening we approached and the man checking people in was friendly and told us where to go to begin. We walked in and were rapidly beckoned over by one of the staff, and from them on we were in her care. This despite the fact that they had a big tour in there. Man, this was fun. Lorimar's wines, all I can say is that my wife and I really like most of them. We bought a bottle from this one, very excited.Lorimar is part of the experience that makes my wife and I want to come back to Temecula.
