Situated in the heart of Temecula Valley, Altisima Winery is an exceptional destination that masterfully blends the essence of a winery, restaurant, vineyard, wine cellar, and exclusive wine club all under one breathtaking roof. From the moment you arrive at 37440 De Portola Rd, the sweeping panoramic views of rolling vineyards set the stage for an unforgettable experience that captivates both the senses and the spirit.
Altisima’s core appeal lies in its exquisite, hand-crafted wines that customers consistently rave about. Corrina Kuensting perfectly sums it up, praising the “amazing” atmosphere and especially the wine, compelling visitors to make Altisima a must-stop on every trip to California. This sentiment is echoed by the attentive staff who create a welcoming environment, ensuring each guest feels valued and part of something truly special.
Beyond the wine itself, Altisima also offers a remarkable dining experience that complements its varietals. Visitors like Desiree Gurba have praised the “absolutely delicious” food, noting it is not only beautifully presented but also thoughtfully paired to elevate the flavors of their wines. The generous portions and quality of ingredients reflect a strong commitment to culinary excellence, making each meal a memorable indulgence. Rod Cleveland (Doc) highlights how the combination of excellent food, wine, and stunning views creates a holistic sensory delight that keeps patrons coming back.
An extra hallmark of Altisima is its dynamic and vibrant atmosphere. Whether enjoying the popular monthly movie nights under the stars, as Andrea Lopez describes with enthusiasm, or simply soaking in the tranquil vineyard ambiance, every visit promises a unique engagement with the space. The well-kept grounds and clean, inviting outdoor settings make it an ideal venue to unwind, socialize, or celebrate special moments.
For wine connoisseurs eager to deepen their connection, Altisima’s wine club offers exclusive perks such as member-only access to elegant tasting areas, discounts, and complimentary wine selections. The imperial-level membership, as Rod Cleveland notes, provides an excellent value that deepens the relationship between the winery and its most devoted patrons.
Practical tips from frequent visitors include arriving earlier during busy weekends to secure outdoor seating and utilizing the convenient bar by the entrance where you can order both wines and food, ensuring a seamless experience even during peak times. Rick Smith’s review reminds us that while Altisima attracts large crowds, the staff’s professionalism and helpfulness shine through, enhancing every guest’s visit.
In essence, Altisima Winery transcends the typical vineyard tour or wine tasting. It is a sensorial journey into the heart of what makes Temecula’s wine country so remarkable: stunning landscapes, heartfelt hospitality, and wines crafted with passion and finesse. Whether you’re seeking a leisurely day of tasting, a sumptuous meal paired with local vintages, or exclusive membership benefits, Altisima is a destination that promises to nourish your palate and soothe your soul.
Everything about this winery was amazing!! The views, the atmosphere, the service and especially the WINE!! I make sure I visit every trip out to CA! There are other arounds but please make sure to add this to your stops!!
Very first visit to Altisima for their movie night, which is happening every last Thursday of the month through summer. Boy what a beautiful winery and fun experience this was! Breath taking views outdoors and the staff is very friendly. They had the Mac Truck Vendor and a menu for other wines you can order during the movie. The winery is very clean and well kept up. I definitely will be back for lunch and a tasting during normal hours.
Awesome combination of excellent wine, beautiful views and delicious generous portions of food. I visited 5/23/25 and really enjoyed service and every aspect of my meal, wine and atmosphere! The members only area is stunning. I joined at the imperial level and it seemed like a great idea since we had already spent a decent amount and members get discounts and complimentary wine so I’m very happy.
I had such a wonderful experience at this winery! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented and full of flavor, pairing perfectly with the wines. I especially want to acknowledge Ty, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt well taken care of the entire time. His recommendations were spot on, and you can tell he genuinely cares about providing excellent service. If you’re looking for a place with amazing food, great wine, and outstanding service, I highly recommend visiting this winery. Thank you, Ty, for making our experience so special!
Unfortunately beyond personal pics, I didnt take any of the wines/place/food. But, we did enjoy the place. Know ahead of time this place gets busy. Lots of outdoor seating, but still not enough for the crowd on a Friday in November (black Friday). The place itself was pretty (view), the people were very helpful. Tip…there’s a bar rt when you walk in, and you can order food there. So that is the place to get some apps and wines for your group. If you walk further inside you’ll see an inside sitting area and a long line at another place to order food. If you are just getting nibbles, skip this area…it’s slower and crowded. Get your stuff, go out back and enjoy the view/tunes/company!
We had our dental office Christmas party at Altisima Winery Restaurant, and it was truly wonderful. The service was excellent—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed throughout the evening. The view overlooking the vineyards was stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. The food and wine were delicious, and the overall ambiance was elegant yet comfortable. It was a great place for our team to relax, connect, and enjoy the holiday season together. I would definitely recommend it for group gatherings or any special occasion.
Wine was nice, tasted good but didn't like the Shangrias at lunch, guess I'm not a sangria person. Lunch was fantastic really good steak and truffel fries. Calamari very good. The meals took a very long time to receive after we ordered them and they seemed luke warm. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff great service.
One of my top 3 favorite wineries in Temecula! Super friendly staff and amazing view of the vineyards from top of the hill. And live music makes it even better!
