Briar Rose Winery

This winery is absolutely enchanting and should not be missed on your Temecula visit. To enjoy this winery fully you will need to make a reservation. I honestly respect that because the tasting grounds are not large and in order to have a peaceful tasting outdoors, reservations are definitely needed. The first owner was an original Disney Imagineer and one of Walt's designers. So it is no surprise that the winery is named Briar Rose, which is Princess Aurora aka "Sleeping Beauty". The original owner also built a replica of Snow White's cottage hence all the dwarf statues hiding around the garden! As for the wines, they are very nice. If you are doing the full tasting (reservations suggested) you can choose the red or white tasting menu. Three of us chose the red menu and one chose the white tasting menu. All were lovely especially the Tempranillo! This is a great winery that is quiet, relaxed, friendly and serves impressive wines! I would love to come back again and try out their white wine tasting menu. :)
