Monserate Winery

We got married in early January and it was truly remarkable!! The venue, staff, food, everything was perfect! We had the pleasure to work with Molly and she made sure everything was set up and perfect for our special day! BEST DAY EVER!

Finding Monserate was seriously such a blessing!! Aside from every corner being absolutely stunning, they provided such a white glove experience and covered every base at such an affordable cost. Liz & Kim were absolutely incredible in managing our wedding day and our rehearsal dinner. Everyone there is so kind and truly cares for each and every one of their clients. 🤍 They truly take care of everything and make you feel so special for your special day!

My wife and I got married here last month and I cannot express how amazing it was. This venue is perfection upon perfection. We visited several times throughout the year and all of the flowers and plants were in perfect shape year-round. We got ready in the bridal and groom sweets, which are fully furnished and set up perfectly for weddings. The size of the tuscan estate was perfect for our wedding size too. We had the largest number of guests the venue has ever had, and they were able to take care of everything perfectly. Also our whole planning process with our venue coordinator, Kim, was smooth, and everything turned out exactly as we wanted! I can't recommend this venue enough. It truly is so special.

Love LOVE LOVE this venue. This was first of the 5 venues we toured and we absolutley could not stop thinking about Monserate. We are happy about choosing this place as our wedding venue. Liz and Kiki are amazing. The staff on our wedding day was the best. We love the service that was offered to us, very professional and we were comfortable with every decision we made. Highly recommend.

We had our wedding at Monserate Winery, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The entire team was attentive, communicative, and professional throughout the planning process. Since we booked the venue early on when it first opened, there were a few adjustments along the way (like changes to the dinner style and food tasting), but the Monserate team guided us seamlessly and kept us informed every step of the way. We also were able to shoot our engagement photos on site, which was included in our booking of the venue. Carissa was especially helpful and kind, ensuring everything was perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was—it truly felt like we were in Italy! The food was outstanding, and the service staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel taken care of. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend Monserate Winery for any special event.

Monserate Winery was a DREAM to work with for our special day! From the initial tour, to each little meeting, to the big day, they were amazing! Kiki who was our venue coordinator was so thoughtful and sweet throughout the whole process. She was just the absolute best! We got married at our the Tuscan Estate venue and it was magical. Such a hidden gem in San Diego. They are reasonably priced for such an elegant and professional venue. Their staff through the whole wedding day and all my vendors working with them went smooth. I have zero complaints about this place. I am so happy with them. My husband and I love going back to enjoy the winery and reminisce on such a perfect day.

The Tuscan Estate was the perfect place for our wedding. The outdoor space was breathtaking. It felt like you were in Italy. And the beautiful indoor space called the "barrel room" where we had our reception was incredible. The venue offered tables, chairs, linens, which saved us time and money. They also had an on-site coordinator who was incredibly helpful in managing the timeline and logistics. Plenty of parking for guests. Food was spectacular. This place feels like home. I can't wait to continue visiting at their new winery!! Overall, Monserate Winery provided a romantic and stress- free experience. Highly recommend for couples looking for a classic and elegant venue that fits an italian aesthetic. :)

We recently had our wedding at Monserate and it was nothing short of magical! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous—perfectly manicured grounds and stunning architecture that provided the ideal backdrop for our special day. The staff went above and beyond, making sure everything ran smoothly and ensuring we felt taken care of every step of the way. The food and wine were outstanding, with guests raving about every course. From start to finish, Molly and the team at Monserate exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a breathtaking venue with exceptional service.

My partner and I got married on 11.09.24 and we had an absolutely magical day! Our friends and family had a wonderful time and the beautiful venue, delicious food and amazing staff only added to the day! We booked the Villa De Fiore venue last year before it was even built and we are so happy that we took that chance! We had a gut feeling based on how the staff was during our tour and the early stages of our planning process! Special thanks to Jessy for being our venue coordinator! She was an incredible asset throughout our planning process! She's knowledgeable, personable, and responsive! She did an amazing job helping us put together our day and ensuring that things didn't fall through the cracks. We can gush all day about this venue but we believe its best if you see for yourself! We highly recommend it!

We honestly didn't even look at other venues. I wasn't and am not someone that had this idea of a "dream" wedding, or had some idea of what my wedding should be like, and considering we had a very short engagement, I didn't really even have the time to fantasize about it. I am so thankful things worked out the way they did because this was the greatest decision I made regarding our wedding. My parents are members of Monserate so I've spent enough time coming here to enjoy the actual winery. When they first opened, and I heard they were creating a wedding venue onsite, I was fortunate enough to see some renderings and knew it was going to be something magical. Fast forward to our engagement, it was kind of a no-brainer that we would consider Monserate for our venue. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING has been considered when they built the Tuscan Estate venue. The layout, the landscaping, the bridal / groom suites - not a single detail had been overlooked. Absolutely stunning and the sound proofing. Holy cow the sound proofing behind those gates. I was initially skeptical of having our ceremony the same time that the restaurant and tasting room were still open. Would we be able to hear guests at the restaurant? Would they be able to hear us? NOTHING. I don't know how they did it, but you can't hear a thing on either side of that wall and iron gate. The linens: they have an amazing array of linen rentals to choose from if you want to upgrade, but the standard selection is also quite extensive. We chose eggplant tablecloths and metallic-y champagne napkins. They looked like we had brought it external rentals - absolutely stunning. The Food: Ok this is probably the best part. The food was absolutely INSANE. Wedding food is typically pretty bland - at least in my experience. We opted for buffet so guests had the option of eating and eating and eating. Monserate was incredibly accommodating when it came to my friends' hundreds of food allergies and restrictions and my parents irrational fear of running out of food. We had more than enough food and guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. We also opted to have the gelato cart and the late night pizza. I know, a lot. Must be an Italian thing, because that was our biggest fear, that guests wouldn't have enough to eat. Guests were wanting to-go boxes because of how good it was. I'm not joking. The Service: The staff that was present and working our wedding were incredible. I had a few special requests for bar staff (family drama / alcohol issues) and they were amazing. Everything went off without a single hitch and all the planning that went up to it was incredibly painless. Liz was our point of contact through the whole process and was a delight to work with. Since Monserate is a newer venue, there are a few kinks in terms of timeliness in response time that could use some improvement but it did not affect the day of at all. Preferred Vendors: Go with their preferred vendors if you can. I chose my wedding planner from their list and she was INSANELY talented and wonderful (will write a separate review just for her). I believe we also chose our florist and music from their list as well (or it came from my planner I don't remember). Either way, the vendors we chose made this entire wedding planning process an absolute cake-walk.

Venue: When we booked our date, Monserate was in the middle of construction on the Tuscan Estate where our wedding was held. Booking a venue was a big leap of faith considering the Tuscan Estate was essentially a jobsite. We did see early renders of the venue but the finished product blew us away. The ceremony site to the barrel room where the reception was held, and the bride/groom suites exceeded our expectations. Staff: I can’t say enough good about our experience with the staff at Monserate. Early on as Monserate was in construction, our original venue coordinator left the company. A change like this could be very stressful but Josh quickly assured us we’d be taken care of and he kept that promise. Jessy was assigned to be our venue coordinator soon after. When we booked the venue, the original venue coordinator offered to be our day-of coordinator for the wedding itself, which we later learned is a completely different job than venue coordinator. Upon learning this fact in our first meeting with Jessy, she offered to be our day-of coordinator. It’s hard to emphasize how big of a deal that was because Jessy was under no obligation to provide us that service. In fact, it was a lot of extra work and she did so without a second thought, which really says a lot about how much she cares about the couples she works with. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony Jessy was communicative and put our minds at ease several times when were worried about various details that come with planning a wedding. The day of the ceremony she was there early to help setup for the event and tear down when the wedding was over. Throughout the event she was everywhere all at once making sure things went smoothly. It’d be hard to outline all the little things she did to make the day perfect without breaking the word limit for this review. Many of our guests remarked on how hard she worked throughout the day and how friendly/helpful she was. We couldn’t be more grateful to her. Service: The service for the whole event was awesome. Staff and bartenders were very friendly. Wedding day was super busy so our interactions were pretty limited. I know the staff was awesome because many of our guests commented on it multiple times throughout the ceremony and after. This is in addition to our own experience throughout the day. Food/Drink: We did a food tasting a few months out and everything was pretty good. The tasting included wine samples and a good variety of food options. Most of our guests were traveling from out of state so it was important to us that our guests ate and drank well considering the energy and expense that comes with travel. The catering for the wedding was top notch and multiple guests have since commented on how good the food was both during the cocktail hour and dinner service. Our goal was to mitigate some of the stress of dealing with a million vendors for the wedding and food/drink was a big driver of that thought process. We chose open bar to accompany Monserate’s catering and it couldn’t have worked out better for us. Overall: Our wedding was amazing. Ultimately our event was perfect and it was in no small part due to Jessy. The venue looked incredible and the staff/service was excellent. What set the experience apart was Jessy’s dedication to helping make our day special when she really didn’t have to. Planning a wedding is a stressful endeavor no matter who you work with. We were lucky to have Jessy.

I just had my wedding on 10.17.24! I could not have asked for a better day. Molly was truly amazing and helped us throughout the entire planning process! Monserate is a STUNNING venue and my guests absolutely loved it! My husband and I could not have picked a better place to say I DO!

We truly could not be happier with Monserate Winery for making our wedding everything we dreamed of. From the planning stages through the day of, Molly was incredibly helpful, sweet, and easy to work with. We also spoke a few times with the owner, Josh, who gave us such a feeling of confidence and made us feel taken care of. Every person we interacted with throughout the process and on the wedding weekend was great. The venue is beyond stunning, the food was delicious, and all our friends and family had an amazing time. The Bridal and Groomsmen suites are particularly incredible. We can’t say enough good things about Monserate and are so grateful to have chosen such a perfect wedding venue!

Highly recommended, the venue is beautiful and the staff is very nice and helpful. The whole process felt easy.

The Tuscan Estate was an absolute dream to get married at. Most of our guests were from out of town and were blown away by the venue’s beauty. We chose the buffet for dinner and people are still talking about how good the chicken and rolls were! We had Jessy as our coordinator and she made the planning/day-off a breeze. As a bride, it was comforting to have zero stress the day of my wedding because I knew Jessy had it all under control. She checked in with me multiple times leading up the wedding and throughout the entire night, making sure I had a drink in my hand if I wanted one! I had my dream wedding and could not recommend this venue and staff enough!

we loved Monserate! The venue had everything we could have possibly wanted. All of the employees were so helpful and professional.

Monserate was an absolute DREAM! Kiki was our venue coordinator and she was out of this world! She was with us every step of the way making sure everyone was on the same page, answering my millions of questions, and helping everything run smoothly on the day of. The Villa de Fiore venue is immaculate and everything we ever wanted! The bridal suite was stunning and perfectly equipped for anything we needed! Perfect spot for getting ready photos and such dreamy shots of just spending time with the bridal party. I can not say enough positive things about this venue!

We just had a wedding at the Monsersate- Tuscan estate, my guests were completely enchanted and blown away with this venue. Everyone was so friendly and this venue makes it very easy to partner with on day of wedding.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Monserate Vineyards and Winery, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish, thanks to our venue coordinator, Kiki. Kiki’s attention to detail was second to none, ensuring that every aspect of our special day was perfect. Her dedication and expertise truly made the wedding unforgettable. Kiki and the team at Monserate could not have been a better fit for our celebration. The venue was stunning, and Kiki’s careful planning and seamless execution made everything flow effortlessly. We are deeply grateful for her support and hard work. Thank you, Kiki, for making our wedding day so memorable. You have our highest recommendation! With heartfelt thanks, Lauren & Ben

Monserate Winery was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the serene beauty of Fallbrook, California, this venue offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication. Firstly, let's talk about the wine—absolutely divine! Monserate Winery boasts an impressive selection that delighted our guests throughout the evening.

I was lucky enough to come across this venue last year while hunting for the perfect Tuscan style space in California. It was always my dream to have a destination wedding, but unfortunately was not able to. But man did Monserate really make us feel like we were in a different country! From the beauty of the space to the kindness of the staff, to the high quality of food and rentals they offered, everything here was better than I could have ever imagined. And all for such a reasonable price, given how expensive the wedding industry has become.

The Tuscan Estate was an absolute dream location for our wedding. After checking out many venues, no other options came remotely close to the stunning grounds of Monserate Winery. The team there was so helpful during the entire planning process. The bride and groom suites were incredible to get ready in the day of. The in house catering was unmatched to any wedding meal I've ever had. Overall, I cannot recommend enough this venue!

One word for this venue. STUNNING. It’s a little slice of Italy in our own backyard! My husband and I really lucked out on this venue. We took a chance and signed on site when the Tuscany was still being built and we couldn’t be happier that we did. Everything from the venue, staff and planning process was a breeze with Monserate. Our main feedback from guest was loving how convenient everything is! Wish we could relive this day over and over

This Monserete venue is absolutely beautiful! They have a list of qualified vendors to choose from. Molly is very professional, courteous and always available to answer any questions! I highly recommend this venue for the wedding of your dreams or to host your next event.

We recently had our wedding at monserate winery in their new barrel room/Tuscany theme venue. It was PERFECT! My husband and I would not change anything. Kiki was great and so helpful! All of our guests said that night was so fun, and the venue was amazing. It all went smoothly, and I didn’t have any worry. We would recommend monserate winery for anyone’s wedding! We loved it so much.

I highly recommend this venue! We got married at their Tuscan Estate venue and it turned out so beautifully. Definitely surpassed our expectations. Kiki helped us through the planning and was very helpful. She answered all our questions and always communicated with us. The rest of the Monserate team was also great during the day of our wedding. Everything ran smoothly. 10/10!!

We had an amazing tour with Carissa today. The Tuscany Estate was beyond our expectations and its even more gorgeous in person. Carissa was extremely kind, attentive, and knowledgable. This place is truly a bride's dream!!

I couldnt recommend Monserate more. Carissa and Kiki were absolutely amazing and they made our wedding perfect. They went above and beyond and were so incredibly helpful. The day of the wedding went by seamlessly. THE VENUE IS GORGEOUS TOO.

Had our wedding here on 11/02/23 and it was truly the best day of our lives. The Tuscan Villa venue is stunning, charming and makes photos effortlessly gorgeous. The Venue worked with us every step of the way to make things on our wish list happen and they did so within budget - they even threw in a handful of gifts with no strings attached. They were 100% honest and trustworthy every step of the way. It’s family owned and you can tell; every staff member is warm and helpful. Our vendors were stunned and almost all of them had said this was their new favorite venue! Monserate is set to skyrocket in popularity so I’m so thankful we found it when we did and their staff made it all possible for us!! We will forever be grateful. Once you see this place you will be OBSESSED!! Big shout out to Kiki who coordinated the heck out of our day 😊

Monserate Winery made our wedding a dream. Their team is so helpful and made our big day everything I wanted and more. The venue was beautiful and I love how there is multiple options on where you can get married on their property. Annie was very responsive and flexible with all of my requests. During the day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about one thing at all and felt very confident in their team to handle everything. I can’t say enough good things about this venue.

I got married here to the love of my life on September 16th! Monserate exceeded our expectations in so many ways! They had such professional communication with us and so much pride in their venue presentation, which in turn, gave us so much peace on our wedding day. Kiki was a fabulous point of contact for us, always going above and beyond to make sure all the details were taken care of weeks before the event. Not to mention, our guests are still raving about the beauty of the venue itself. It made for timeless elegant photos we'll always cherish. Can't thank Monserate enough for having such a reliable team and gorgeous venue!

This is a stunning venue with top notch customer service. We had our daughter’s wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful . The staff’s attention to detail and professionalism made it a joy to work with them. I would highly recommend!

Monserate was a beautiful wedding venue and winery. It has a perfect outdoor ceremony space under trees and cocktail/reception space around the pond. The trees and pond provided a perfect backdrop for the ceremony and shade for guests. The turf lawn and cement floor under the awning created a lovely reception space for dinner and dancing. Wine and bar service from Monserate was great. All of the white and red wines we chose were delicious as well as the full bar service offered by Monserate. Kiki and the rest of the Monserate staff were extremely helpful throughout the planning process and day of the wedding. Many of the tables and chairs for ceremony and reception are included from Monserate, reducing the number of items needing to be rented from caterers or other vendors. They were also very flexible with any last minute changes. We would highly recommend Monserate to anyone looking for a winery wedding venue!

Monserate Winery is the place you book if you want all your dreams to come true. The venue is stunning (obviously), but the real sell are the people that work there and how they make you feel. Planning a wedding is tough, but with this team you feel like you can do it. They made our entire vision come to life and helped us execute the best day ever. So many of our guests were raving about the wine, the venue and the staff which is such a good feeling after the months of planning. If we could do everything over again, we wouldn't change a single thing thanks to Monserate. PLUS, you can bring outside catering (with catering licenses) so you have the high end winery vibe, with food you actually want to eat. This is the place you need to book!!

Monserate winery was an amazing wedding venue. It has so much space for people to spread out. The ceremony sites are breathtakingly beautiful. Each ceremony site has large trees that provide so much shade for the guest, so if you're getting married in the summer like I did, it wasn't too hot. The ponds are such a gorgeous backdrop for photos. The day went so smoothly. Working with Annie, the venue coordinator, was really fun too. She helped us organize every little detail about the day so that we were prepared. Everyone at my wedding kept telling me how much they loved the venue :)

Monserate was the perfect venue for our wedding! We picked it mostly for the scenery, but also because of the very reasonable price. We worked with Annie from the start of the planning process, and she was so helpful/responsive. We decided to also have our rehearsal dinner at the venue the day before. The Monserate staff made our whole party feel welcome and celebrated. I truly cannot say enough about the hospitality and friendliness of the team who made sure that our wedding was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend a wedding here in the month of May - the grape vines were bright green and so full, making the perfect backdrop to our ceremony and reception. Thank you to the Monserate staff and especially Annie for making our day so special!

Over the last year we have been visiting Monserate, eating their delicious food, drinking their amazing wine and getting to know the wedding coordinator Annie. On Friday March 24th all our dreams came true when we had our wedding at Monserate Winery. Annie was both professional & pleasant to work with from beginning to end. Our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner & wedding day went so smooth with the help of Annie & her staff! We are so incredibly grateful to them and so happy we chose this venue for the most important day of our life!

We fell in love with this venue back in 2021 and had a beautiful wedding March 4, 2023. Annie and the Monserate team were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the process. This vineyard gets better every time we visit with all the new developments! We were able to hire our own vendors and build the wedding of our dreams. All the staff is very friendly and all our guests loved the wines. We’re happy we are wine club members so we can continue to enjoy the scenery after the wedding.

We are so relieved that we chose Monserate winery as our venue! From the planning to the staff for rehearsal and day of coordinating, they made it so smooth and the property/wine speak for themselves! Working with the vendor coordinator, Annie Work was such a blast and the rest of the staff on the day of felt like family by the end of the wedding. 100% would recommend.

Monserate Winery was the perfect place to get married. The setting is beautiful - a perfect mix of nature and thoughtful construction. The staff was amazing - especially Annie! Annie was there for every step of the process. She was supportive while being very relaxed. The wine made by Monserate is amazing as well. Overall I’d highly recommend Monserate winery for any couple looking to get married at a beautiful, affordable, and truly special venue.

Amazing Venue! The staff was amazing and so easy to work with. They communicated well and helped answer any questions we had. The venue is so gorgeous and flexible! There are multiple ceremony locations to pick from. Would 100% recommend this location !

Venue was perfect for our wedding and the ability to pick and choose our own vendors was fabulous. All of our guests were amazed on how the venue looked and made for a wonderful memory for our wedding to take place.

Monserate Winery was a dream venue for our wedding. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Half way through wedding planning our wedding coordinator disappeared and they helped us find a replacement (who was amazing!) in days. Annie is incredible to work. Our day ran smoothly and we had an amazing event.

The winery is absolutely beautiful and the team there are fantastic! Would definitely recommend and wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Monserate winery is an absolutely stunning wedding venue. So many options to make it your own and the setting is breathtaking. Having our wedding here was a dream come true and couldn’t have gone better. Annie is such a helpful, kind, and responsive coordinator and helped my fiancé and I with the entire process - not only the day of but consistently throughout the year of planning. Highly recommend this venue!

We did not get married here but we did attend multiple weddings at Monserate and the team and the winery were amazing. If you’re looking to get married in Southern California, Monserate is the way to go!

This venue was wonderful! It was so beautiful and every detail looked flawless.

Monserate is the dream venue! We had our wedding here in May 2022 and it was more perfect and beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the beginning, Annie was always so helpful, informative and available to answer any and all of our questions. She, and all of the Monserate staff, went above and beyond to help our vision for our big day come to life. The majority of comments we got from guests were about how gorgeous the venue was and how awesome their staff was. Monserate may be a Fallbrook hidden gem right now, but I know it will be an extremely sought after venue in the very near future. If you're on the fence, just stop by for a glass of wine to check it out, or get a tour from Annie, and you'll be sold...it's the best! :)
