My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding!
Since day one, Churon made our entire wedding planning experience amazing. The entire staff was always attentive, and they made sure our vision came to life. Not only Churon, but the vendors that Churon suggested, we’re very easy to work with. If you and your partner have a vision for a winery themed wedding, look no further!!
The staff at the Inn made everything from day 1 amazing! The event staff, especially Meilee were incredible, flexible and made our wedding weekend vision complete! The planning, the tasting, arrival and wedding day were all put together very well and the place just feels like a big welcoming family. This venue is only an hour away from us but it feels like you are whisked away to a luxurious destination. We filled every room and the staff was very respectful and welcoming to every guest. There were only compliments from guests for the Inn at Churon venue all together.
The Inn at Churon was the best choice for our wedding. This venue is GORGEOUS, and the staff are phenomenal! Meilee went above and beyond with her communication. She assisted me with every step in the process and I can’t thank her enough. We had a small wedding and chose their micro wedding package. We added a lot of options and I was beyond pleased with the vendor options to choose from. The day of our wedding was perfection. Everything came out phenomenal and I was truly blown away with the whole experience! Thank you so much Meilee and staff at Churon for making all of our wedding dreams come true!! This is a venue that we are excited to return to year after year!

Any questions?
Churon Winery is pure magic. We cannot possibly thank the team at Churon enough for the magic that they created on our wedding day. We would highly encourage all considering Churon to cease their search. Churon has everything you could imagine and more.
We chose Churon Winery as our venue for so many reasons, and Meilee, the venue coordinator, was one of the main reasons. Meilee cares so much about her couples as her clients. She is attentive to every detail, exceptionally responsive, accommodating to ideas, and so very kind. She is knowledgeable and does not leave any detail untouched. She gave us a great deal of confidence that we were in good hands. And, she gets the job done above and beyond what we could have expected.
Churon’s staff is so kind. From Danni in the wine tasting room to Julie’s welcome at the front desk to Chef Enrique and his entire staff to Paola and her housekeeping team.
Our stay was a delight. All guests receive a free glass of wine upon check in where they are welcomed by the best tasting staff. The rooms are a dream and easily one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. Paola keeps the rooms immaculate. You walk in and think you are walking into a room in Tuscany, Italy. The hot air balloons rise every morning and this is visible from right outside the rooms. Our guests got to enjoy this sight with coffee on their balcony or on the inn terrace each morning. Breakfast is complimentary each morning of your stay and this breakfast outdoes any breakfast: eggs benedict, croissant sandwiches, omelets, orange juice and mimosas, and so much more. Our guests could not believe the service. Staying onsite was a lovely touch as we all had the morning to enjoy ourselves before the ceremony.
Chef Enrique outdid himself with the food for the reception. Guests raved about the food. He clearly takes pride in his recipes. He even makes his own Chardonnay dressing for the salads! We also had a delightful time at our tasting.
The venue itself is a vision. From the gazebo where you say “I do” to the many vineyards that sit in the distance to the market lights lighting the reception area. Each part of the evening has its own section, so the flow of the day is flawless. Set up and take down was also flawless. Meilee and Paola think of every detail; we had nothing to worry about. And, one of the best parts is that your room is just steps away.
The Churon team has become like family to us. We never could have imagined that signing a contract with Churon would enter us into a phenomenal community of people that we look forward to visiting for many years to come. We became wine members because we are so excited to stay connected and plan to celebrate on our anniversary there every year.
We highly recommend Churon for all size weddings and especially for those seeking an intimate ceremony that offers you the opportunity to celebrate and spend time with guests all weekend.
Thank you, Churon team. We are so very grateful for all you have invested in us. We will be living in this dream for many years to come and owe you a lifetime of thanks. Truly. See you next month to enjoy more wine on the terrace!

Churon was simply the best. The venue was beautiful. But the best was Meilee. She was the venues event coordinator and she made the whole experience the best. She had a “can do” attitude. She found ways to make our experience the best. We pulled off our wedding in under 120 days. But no one would have ever known. The food was great. The rooms at the Inn are huge. I highly recommend.

Dear Kim,
Congratulations on you and Rob's beautiful wedding again! Thank you very much for the kind words. Likewise, you are simply the best to work with! You inspired to bring out the best of us!
~Churon Winery Team
My Husband and I had the most wonderful experience with Churon Winery as our Wedding Venue. Not only are the grounds absolutely gorgeous, but their customer service was outstanding! Meilee set the tone as the venue coordinator, and we cannot begin to express the friendliness, professionalism, and over all care she gave us while we planned our wedding and asked her a thousand questions. She was there for us every step of the way and shared in our excitement of our wedding, she's the BEST! We would also like to give an extraordinary rating to Christopher who worked so hard all day and night of our wedding to make sure everyone had everything they needed. He was literally working nonstop and did it all with a smile. Robert at the hotel front desk was helpful and pleasant and made every accommodation he could to get us, and our guests settled into our rooms. Food, can't forget about the absolutely delicious food served at our wedding, and Enrique made sure to impress us with his coordination and talent with all of our tasty treats! If you are looking to choose a venue for your wedding that will make you feel like a priority and treat you with kindness and care, Churon Winery in Temecula is the place! Thank you for making our Wedding Day as special and beautiful as we had imagined.

Our daughter was married August 13, 2023 at Churon Winery. We started off renting a venue and were going to do "a do it yourself wedding". We quickly realized we are not professional wedding planners and it was going to be stressful for all of us. Weddings are suppose to be fun and enjoyably memorable. We live in Temecula and know the wineries, services, and grounds. We've always been impressed with Churon Winery especially the wine servers Valerie and Dani who always gave us a good wine tasting experience. We reached out to the wedding planner Meilee and were not disappointed with her or the entire staff at Churon. They were all excellent including Enrique the Chef, Christopher the server and bartender, Rosa from housekeeping and Rob, Lisa and Julie at the front hotel check in counter. They went over and above to accommodate our wishes, constant questions and changes throughout the whole months of planning. The food and service was excellent. Meilee, the Wedding/Events Coordinator, based on her experience made excellent suggestions that we would have never thought of. She gave us her personal phone number and told us to call anytime we had a question or concern throughout the months of planning. We did and she always answered or got back with us ASAP. She even insisted that she would come in and meet with us or her days off. We never took her up on that offer but knew she would have come in on her days off. The wedding went of flawlessly and the bride, groom and parents had a wonderful wedding day due mainly to Churon's organization and staff's work ethic. Many of our guests mentioned what a great venue and beautiful wedding. Another positive is Churon has a hotel on the grounds and the rooms are large and beautiful. Many of our guests stayed there before and after the wedding and loved the experience. Thank you to Churon for creating a perfect day.

My Husband and I were engaged at Churon and decided to have our wedding there as well. We love the beauty of this venue, the setting, as well as the European feel and decor.
We wanted a private ceremony (just my Husband and I) and asked Churon to help coordinate our essentials. Churon's event planner arranged a pastor, photographer and florist, all of which could not have been any better. They also referred us to a great hair and makeup artist, AlyRose Beauty who I was also so happy and grateful for. We were also thrilled with our wedding suite which was over the top! Our day was intimate, special and perfect in every way for us. I am so thankful for Churon's understanding of our vision and their efforts and experience in the coordination. I highly recommend this venue for either a large size or private wedding. Thank you Churon!

Once again, thank you for entrusting us with your special day and for your wonderful review. We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and beautiful memories together.
~Churon Winery Team
We recently got married at Churon Winery and were blown away by the level of professionalism and support we received from Meilee, the event consultant. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was everything we dreamed it would be.
Meilee was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was always available to answer our questions and provide us with the support we needed to make informed decisions. She even took the time to rehearse with us before the big day, which helped us feel more confident and prepared.
On the day of the wedding, Meilee was an absolute rockstar. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. She provided us with invaluable advice and guidance, and we couldn't have done it without her.
The Churon team as a whole was incredibly friendly and considerate throughout the entire process. Pauline, one of the servers, even saved us a small wedding cake as breakfast in the morning, which was a lovely surprise.
Overall, we recommend Meilee and the Churon Winery team. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. If you're looking for a beautiful and supportive wedding venue, look no further than Churon Winery.

We are so grateful we chose the Inn at Churon Winery for our wedding. We looked at many, many venue options and struggled with which to choose but settled on the Churon because their package was so inclusive and they were one of the few venues that offered an indoor option in case of inclement weather. We planned the entire wedding from out of state and Churon made it easy. Meilee was amazing to work with - communicative, responsive, flexible, helpful, kind, accommodating, and on and on. I could not have asked for a better venue coordinator to work with. Our wedding day ended up being cold and rainy (rare in Temecula) and everyone worked hard to make sure our day was beautiful despite the weather. Enrique (the chef) and his staff went above and beyond. The food and service were beyond expectations in every way. The wines were of course fabulous. And we met the most amazing vendors through Churon, especially our photographer, bakery, and florist. The venue itself is gorgeous, but working with everyone there is what really made our day - every need and want was met and we felt like our event was as important to Churon as it was to us.

Churon Winery is the perfect place to get married. The gazebo and patio provide the most gorgeous background for pictures. The winery also is a great back drop. The staff is very welcoming and does everything they can to make the day special. From beginning to end, the coordination was prompt and clear. We were able to have our package adjusted to our needs since our wedding was ~20 people. Very accommodating to our guest as well. Not a single complaint from anyone. Highly recommend visiting and selecting this wedding venue.
We planned our wedding in less than 2 months! Churon Inn really stepped in and helped us out in ways we really needed. It was a blessing they had availability on our day, they worked with us, worked with our budget and helped us make the day exactly what we wanted. The food was amazing, the chef was so nice and welcoming. The wedding coordinator, which was included in our package, was also very nice, helped with a lot of the decorating and made sure everything was how I wanted on the day of.
The bridal suite is gorgeous and spacious. The groom's and groomsmen's space is also very spacious.
Considering the circumstance and short notice, overall it was a success. A few small hiccups but overall, I highly recommend this place. It was absolutely beautiful! All our guests loved the venue and we got some amazing pictures!!
The only things I did not like was that the stairs had a highlighter yellow color on them, which I understand is for safety but it took away from the overall look. Also, our wedding was in November so it was a little cold, I felt heaters should be complimentary and included but we had to pay for each one and order them in advance, which was hard to decide but overall, really happy with everything and I would highly recommend!

Hi Lara,
Thank you for choosing Churon to host your wedding event and taking the time to write a review. We agree with you that the yellow lines on the steps are not appealing . Unfortunately, they are required by OSHA for safety reason.

incerely,
Churon Winery.
My now husband and I fell in love with The Churon when we were dating and instantly knew we’d have our wedding there. It was truly the most beautiful place you go have it in Temecula. The gazebo was lovely for the ceremony. Both are families are from out of town and could not get over the hotel rooms. They also raved over and over about how nice everyone is there and the food by Enrique and Paola. We enjoyed working with all the staff there especially Meilee and Angela. This was the most amazing day and they made it so easy and simple. My cousin who did our photography said it was the most beautiful photos she’s ever taken and wants to come back to do more winery weddings. We are so lucky we found the Churon. We truly love and adore everyone there and will keep going back.

Hi Kelsey,
Thank you very much for taking time to review on us! From your engagement to your wedding event, thank you for giving us your trust! We consider you a part of Churon family and we welcome you back any time!
~ Churon Winery Team
Unforgettably beautiful no-fuss outdoor venue with far superior service! I am writing this review during our honeymoon— Churon is *that* good.
LOCATION
While at Churon, you will quickly be transported to a destination with rolling hills of grape vines, hot air balloons in the distance (mornings), and old European charm. Our wedding was in Nov. During our late afternoon/evening wedding, our backdrop was a beautiful cotton-candy orange/pink sunset, with greenery still on the vines. Here is where I believe Churon’s location stands out: the direction in which Churon faces and its position relative to the hills are key.
ON-SITE FEATURES
While the venue has the capacity to accommodate more, it was perfectly sized (with great open space around the grassy area and fountain) for our ~115 person event. Ample parking directly surrounding the back of the venue; overflow parking also available. Churon has ~20 rooms at their inn, each individually decorated. Room block with the packages is very reasonable. Good variety for prep and cocktail hour photo shoots. I took comfort in knowing that there are backup options at Churon in case of inclement weather.
FOOD/CATERING
Churon also has an on-site kitchen with expert staff who take pride in their work and food— they are trusted service, even for adjacent locations, as well. Churon catering addressed each dietary restriction. They served an excellent pre-ceremony and toasting champagne.
EVENTS CONSULTATION & SERVICE
Aside from the stunning location, the events consultation and service was my favorite part of this venue. The team is a mighty and experienced one. Meilee was a wonderfully thoughtful contact, with consistent fast turnaround on our requests and clear correspondence with our vendors. Churon offers (2) packages— the standard and the platinum; open bar of wine and beer is included in both packages. Churon also offers a few small things for borrowing as needed— a few easels, table number signs, card box, etc. Finally, I’d like to highlight the spaces for getting ready at Churon. Our bridespeople got ready in the bridal suite. The groomsmen got ready in Churon’s large conference room, which also has its own bar area, as well as couches and games (ping pong/pool table, chess, etc). This space was another feature that distinguished Churon from other venues in the vicinity. You’ll be glad you got a dedicated space for both the bride and groom!
TIPS
— Ask if Churon is able to open their lobby for small after-hours time with limited guests. Temecula quiet hours begin at 10pm, so your event will need to wrap by then. Thankfully, Churon kept their lobby open for us for an intimate smaller after-gathering until 11pm. We sat on the couches by the fireplace and caught up with some guests we didn’t get a chance to speak with as much during the wedding. We’ll treasure this memory!
— Ask about your needs. The Churon team is experienced and creative.
— Book and stay at the bridal suite on the first floor for the night prior to your event. The bridal suite during the night of your event is included (!) in your wedding package, but booking the night prior will ease your logistics and minimize morning setup time for you.
FINAL THOUGHTS
We are so grateful for the peace of mind that came with Churon and working with Meilee; they gracefully accommodated many of our last-second needs. We would recommend Churon to anyone who is looking for a charming and quaint venue with a wonderful workhorse team to match.

We cannot recommend Inn by Churon enough for your Wedding. We got married in late October and everything was perfect. After our first visit to the venue we knew this was the place we were going to get married. The ceremony space is beautiful and has an incredible view of the Temecula wine country. The reception area is right by the ceremony space which was great for our guests. The outside reception space was beautiful. We needed very little in terms of flowers, because we were able to take advantage of the winery's natural beauty. The lighting was beautiful and gave off a very romantic vibe once the sunset. It was a cold night and the winery was able to set up heaters for us which made the reception the perfect temp.
The staff go above and beyond for you. Meilee, Angela, and Brittany THANK YOU SO MUCH. The staff was so attentive and ensured every detail of our wedding was perfect. They were great with check ins and keeping us on track. Every single guest that stayed at the Inn after the wedding commented on how wonderful the staff was. They really went above and beyond to make our day special. We will continue to visit and stay at the winery for many years to come because of their professionalism (not to mention the wine is delicious).
The food was INCREDIBLE. A lot of wedding food can taste bland and dry, but not here. The chef took time with us during our tasting to provide a ton of options before we made a decision. The food came out perfect. I can't even count how many compliments we got from our guests on how delicious and fresh the food tasted. It was buffet style but they still provided staff to help fill the plates and keep the line moving. Everyone got their food very quickly.
We ended up getting the recommended coordinator from them and Vanessa if you're reading this thank you for everything. Vanessa sat with us about a month in advanced and went through our whole day and typed up a whole plan. She kept the day on track and on time and it was perfect. No issues or delays at all. Our day would not have been what it was without Vanessa so thank you so much!
All in all I can't recommend this venue enough. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was, how great the food and wine were, and how professional the staff were. It really was the most beautiful day and would couldn't be more grateful that we chose Inn by Churon as our venue.
Thank you for everything!

Hi Myles, Thank you for the review and for giving Churon the opportunity to host your wedding! We are happy that you are satisfied with our services and the event was successful. ~ Churon Winery Team
I got married at Inn at Chruron in August 2019.
If you want the short review: Get married at Churon!! It was beautiful, affordable, and Karrie is AMAZING!!!
Now the long review. Churon is a true hidden gem. I found Churon by accident by looking at google maps. It’s an all inclusive venue including: ceremony, reception, food, wine/beer,, officiant, flowers, DJ, cake, and wedding coordinator. We booked about a year in advance. Over the course of a year, the venue/hotel made some major updates. It looks like a completely different venue in a good way! The grounds are amazing with Fantastic views. We got so many compliments as to how pretty it was. Also a major plus, is that because it’s a bed and breakfast, you can make the entire place about your wedding if you get your guests to book there. They will hold all the rooms for you til about a month before the wedding. That was a major selling point for us and we did book all the rooms.
Karrie is the most amazing coordinator on earth. Within hours of meeting her she provided tons of information and was a true professional. She was always prompt answering emails, and worked tirelessly the day of the wedding. She set things up, took things down, coordinated with vendors. She even hunted my bouquet down in the vines when I accidentally left it there during photos. She went above and beyond. She was also always nice and courteous to work with.
The food was delicious. We opted for a buffet and it all tasted fantastic. Everyone raved about our food!
Working with the vendors was a breeze and Karrie did a great job coordinating with them, which left little work for me to do. For reference I worked with: Anthony David Photography, Cathy’s Cakes, Total Quality Music (DJ), and Murrieta VIP Florist. I was very pleased with all the vendors and would recommend them.
As I said the all inclusive was incredible. Keep in mind that to get everything you want, you might have to pay extra. Photography is only 5 hours, so you might want to pay extra for more hours, the venue provided $750 for flowers, so I paid a little more to get what I wanted. I felt all the vendors were reasonably priced. The extras I paid weren’t expensive (this is a wedding after all, and the word makes prices inflate) and again it wasn’t necessary, I just wanted more.
So in conclusion, I have to thank Churon and Karrie for providing me with the most amazing wedding ever. Churon is a beautiful place to get married, and Karrie is amazing!!
The catering was DELICIOUS, and the staff was helpful in setting up the site. However, it rained the afternoon of our wedding, and instead of accepting our attempt to find tenting (we REALLY loved the outside ambiance and view), the day of manager Michele was rude, unforgiving, and stubborn on having it inside, raising her voice to my bridesmaid who was trying to coordinate a way to make it work outside. We hoped we would at least get some of the heater rental payment back (they own them), but she was insistent on charging us for a service we didn't use.
The weather sucked, yes, but what bothered us more was her attitude.
We chose this site for the view (ruined), and the wine (also ruined). Two weeks before the wedding we are meeting to discuss final details and Michele informs us that they had sold out of three of our chosen six wines. What REALLY bothered us, was two of the wines were for the table . We meticulously chose Malbec to go with our dinner, and the white for our family's preferences. These were table exclusive, meaning we needed 11 bottles. Despite having paid in full at this point, the winery did not set aside these wines, and we had to choose new ones. My heart set on the Malbec and having told everyone about how great it was, to say I was disappointed is an extreme understatement. The replacement wines were ok, nothing to brag about or to ever drink again. Severely disappointed at this blatant negligence in planning.
Finally, the coordinator and staff showed a vast amount of unprofessionalism when 10 pm rolled around, signaling the end of the reception. They shut off the lights, pulled chairs from our elderly guests, and were blantaly rude to anyone still seated. What bothers me most about this, is that we were guests in the hotel, mingling in the lobby. Not loiterers. We had booked nearly the whole hotel, but we aren't allowed to stay in the lobby to mingle with other hotel guests? The venue was nice but I would never work with Michele again.
The setting was wonderful and everything turned out great. I did have problems with the contact person there. She would often forget things or confuse things. They also did not know how to make a Vegan meal for two guests so I had to give them ideas. Also the staff took away our cake before my husband and I could eat it!
It was the most beautiful reception I had ever seen...many of guests felt the same! The staff was wonderful the food was amazing and entire evening was like a dream!!!!;The cost per head is a little high but it is worth it. A reception outside is the best!!!
