Avensole Winery - Temecula

Very recommended! The Chilaquiles, French toast with peanut butter whip and megamosa were our favorites.

Came to try their new brunch menu and it was not disappointed. My husband?s steak was perfectly cooked, the Brussels sprouts were incredible and the French toast was pretty likely the most amazing combination of flavors I ever had. You have child-friendly drinking cups that were great, my only wish would be for a children's menu before lunch with a brunch option or two. Very recommended and we? ll be back.

A very high score of 4th reservation at 19:15 on OpenTable. Check-in was extended by only one person working at the reception. This person also worked in retail or in the restaurant. Recommend a dedicated host on weekends. At 19:35 we were told that the kitchen was closed in five minutes. Overall, the food was phenomenal. Salmon, short band, seafood plate (appetizer). Bonus was the size of casting for a glass of wine. The service and food for check-in and early closing of the kitchen.

On a rare day, lunch trip with my wife, and this beautiful person gave our daughter the super sweet sunglasses you see in the picture. Totally unexpected, estimated and a 5-star-worthy customer experience! The food and beer was also great!

We just had an amazing time both on the Avensole tasting patio and then at the restaurant afterwards. We had a group of 10 of us gathering on a recent beautiful Friday afternoon. The staff was all very welcoming and went out of their way to put sofas and chairs together for our group. Our server was knowledgeable and directed us with tastes of various wines based on our preferences. My husband and I ended up ordering a bottle of the Susan (sauvignon blanc , which as a new release, wasn 't even on the menu yet. Others in our group did a flight of reds which was beautifully presented (see pic! I had checked ahead and was excited that there was availability for a reservation at the restaurant right after the patio closed (5PM . Not only does Avensole have great wine, their cocktails are awesome, as well! Someone in our group recommended the lavender martini and wow, it was perfect! Several of us ordered the crab grilled cheese with tomato soup, others had the surf turf special all were delicious and filling! Our server was friendly and attentive. The guitarist playing on the patio provided great background music, as well. It was a totally wonderful time with new friends at a beautiful place with great people, great wine and great food! We had been at the restaurant one other time awhile back when they were packed, and the manager Lulu was so incredibly sweet and went out of her way to fine us a spot at the bar. We had never been there before and she really made us feel welcome, despite the fact that it was a weekend and they were extremely crowded! It?s the little things like this that really make an impact?the Maya Angelou quote rings so true here: ?People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.? We will most likely join Avensole as a result of these great experiences.
