Mount Palomar Winery

Mount Palomar Winery has been growing and producing award winning wines since 1969. Mount Palomar helped pioneer this wine country and has become a long-time favorite of the Temecula wineries for many locals and visitors alike.  The winery, tasting room, vineyards, and citrus groves of Mount Palomar Winery are situated on more than  315 acres in the heart of wine country. We provide guests with breathtaking views of the entire valley filled with meticulously cared for vineyards, a traditional winemaking facility, tasting bars brimming with  award-winning wines, romantic photographic settings, and much more. The Winery and Guest Center are nestled away from the Rancho California Road thoroughfare and entering the early California style structure is a step into a relaxing and peaceful environment.

Shorty’s Bistro features a diverse array of authentic Mediterranean appetizers, sandwiches, stone oven pizzas, elegant desserts, and many other unique items. We are proud to showcase our many imported ingredients, a few examples from Spain and Italy can be found in a couple of our Chef’s favorite items such as the Porketta Flatbread Sandwich and the Merquez with Soffrito Sauce Entrée. The Shorty’s Bistro dinner menu is available Friday to Sunday after 5 pm featuring flavors from several coastal Mediterranean countries. We also have international meat and cheese platters made daily that are available in our tasting room for our customers that are looking for something lighter to pair with their wine choices. 
 
Future development plans include a larger wine production facility; a new guest facility including restaurants, shops, and a world-class, wine country resort and spa; and private estate homes.
 
Today, the goal of Mount Palomar Winery remains the same as it did in 1969, "enhance the lives of friends and guests with an exceptional wine country experience."
