    Always enjoy eating at oak mountain cafe. We are members and enjoy the free wine tastings. The chimichurri fries are great. Dustin the wine manager is awesome.

    Food is always good. The view is awesome. I feel the cost of a small glass of wine has gone up considerably for the pour. First glass was old and taste was not good. We alerted our server and were given new glasses which were much better. Overall we enjoy visiting but we wish the wine prices not so high.

    Judy our tour guide was amazing! She was fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with all our questions. The tastings were delicious and the pairing with the cheese, chocolate and meats were delicious. The cave was extremely well done and a beautiful space. If you are headed to Temecula go see Judy for the cave tour!

    We started with the cave tour and our guide James was phenomenal explaining the wines, the area and the Cave itself. Afterwards, we had dinner in the Cave for my brother’s 70th birthday - it was a unique experience and great venue for something different! Loves the food and ambiance.

    Great food and excellent service - drinks were a bit pricey, but all and all a good experience and would recommend. It is a bit loud in there because it is designed as wine cave but we could carry on a conversation with no problem.
