Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards

Appetizer Lunch-in (White Gazebo), Western Ceremony (Merlot Mesa), Cocktail Hour (Cabernet Hill) and Reception (Courtyard) all on one property. We ultimately chose Wilson Creek Winery because they had different venues for each event. Their grounds are absolutely stunning! Here is a breakdown of the entire wedding process: Planning: Melanie (Venue coordinator) is such a bubbly lovely human! We love her! We had a complicated detail oriented wedding so there was slight confusion (but it all worked out in the end!). She was up to the challenge of moving 200 people around 5 different times! Day before: We had our rehearsal brunch in the barrel room. We had such a fun relaxing afternoon. Then we did the walk through and did the check in for all of the decorations and signs. Thank you Gifts: We worked with Wilson Creek and their distributers to create our thank you gifts for the guests: 215 custom wine glasses, 300 Peach Bellini splits, 250 custom Wilson Creek bags, and 48 bottles of custom label Cab Sav. All of this was complicated coordination but we were successful in getting everything pulled together before the wedding! Thank you Melanie :) Wedding Day: The wedding day went well. Melanie and her staff worked very hard to coordinate and work with our vendors to have everything set up on time. We had an issue with the winery's valet parking cars along the route we needed our shuttles to go to Merlot Mesa. This delayed us about 30 minutes. Food: The chef did an AMAZING job recreating our favorite Indian appetizers (and worked with my Mother-in-law on flavors). Their reception food is what every venue should strive for! The food was cooked to perfection and we still have people raving about it. Drinks: Wilson. Creek. Wine. Enough said :)

hat.

. We were lucky to work with both Kathryn and Rose during the coordination of our wedding; both were amazing. Communication was always prompt, our questions were always answered, and their advice during the planning process was so helpful. I truly can't say enough great things; not only was the planning process fun and exciting, but Wilson Creek was flexible when we needed to postpone our wedding due to Covid. It felt amazing to finally show up on our wedding day and have everything pulled together - the venue is stunning. Our food was excellent. The price was reasonable. Our day was perfect! Thank you, Wilson Creek!

le of years later, I met my now husband and took him here to enjoy this winery with my parents. Not only is this a beautiful place to sip champagne and wine 7 days a week, the grounds are gorgeous and to my surprise more than reasonably priced. Although we are in Arizona, Kathryn made it very easy to plan what was a destination wedding for us! We were married on leap year and had the best weather you could as for. It was a fairytale! Our guests cannot stop talking about how stunning it was, and how much they enjoyed themselves the entire night! Many of them stating it was the most gorgeous and best wedding they’ve ever been to! In addition, the Almond Champagne is the best champagne I have ever had! If you are looking for a stunning winery, this is it!

special day! Thank you Wilson Creek staff for being beyond incredible! The food was great and we had no issues whatsoever! We are eternally grateful to Melanie and all the staff, we will be returning to Wilson Creek in the next couple months to celebrate my birthday ❤

tion areas to accommodate any party size. We had a smaller guest list so we chose Cabernet Hill and the Upper Room as our venues... they were perfect! Getting married in the middle of the vines... so amazing. The Upper Room was exactly what we were looking for, size wise. It accommodated everyone perfectly and there was more than enough space for the dance floor. The staff is amazing as well. We had a few hiccups with our event coordinator, we went through a few as people left, but each of them documented our wishes very well so it was very easy for the next to pick up and go. The communication was fantastic and the day of, perfect. Our coordinator was there for every step and helped to accommodate every need! If you are looking for the perfect place for your magical day... look no further! The Wilson family takes amazing pride in providing a truly magical experience for everyone.

married here!

dding party. The bridal suite was amazing and everyone enjoyed their weekend there as if it were a destination wedding!

in the Champagne Ballroom. The highlight of it all for me was that this was the first wedding I can remember where there was AN OPEN BAR WITH NO LINE! When they say open bar they mean it – the wait staff was exceptionally attentive, the bar itself was easily accessible, and they were really pouring all night long. Before the day of the wedding, Wilson Creek was very accommodating as our plans changed – they worked closely with us, were always accessible, and were very responsive to our requests. Running through the day from beginning to end, there were a few issues before the ceremony (confusion with another bridal party on the property and heavy foot traffic in prime photo areas), but we were able to smooth everything out without any major impact on our plans. We had a few (but very important) elderly guest, some requiring handicap accommodations, that were able to get around with ease on the property. We used A LOT of vendors who came in to do a whole lot of set up, many of whom were not on the preferred vendor list, and we had no problem with them getting onto the property and accessing everything they needed. Service during cocktail hour and the reception was excellent! The food was great, the wine was wonderful, and did I mention there was no line at the bar!?! Thank you Wilson Creek – you made me, my new husband, and all our guests very happy!

it poured and she was so amazing with making sure everything that needed to be moved was and our vision was still maintained. She is one of the sweetest people and made us feel like family from day one. This winery holds such a special place in our hearts. Thank you Natasha for everything!! We are still talking about how perfect that day was for us!

photos. The food was amazing!! and great portions, so my guests were full. We really liked the Almond and Coconut Champagne as well. I highly recommend this venue as one of the best in Temecula.

ood to the the friendliest and most professional servers I've seen in a long time. Then we had a big crowd for brunch the next day which offered so much food I almost burst!

absolutely beautiful and the staff coordinated every part of the day seamlessly. The food and wine were fantastic and Sean took care of every detail. In addition to our amazing experience, you can't beat the price, especially if you're having a small wedding like mine (28 guests).

h and will help you with anything you need. We ended up switching coordinators in the middle of planning as our original one moved to a different venue and was really skeptical of our new coordinator, but Sean ended up doing a better job than our original coordinator. Our package came with food, cocktail hour and a hosted bar of 5 different wines for our guests and beer. There was no hard alcohol on premise, but as we quickly learned, not many wineries have their liquor license. It even ended up pouring buckets on our wedding day in the middle of July and they moved everything around for us hassle free and our guests were happy and I feel our wedding turned out so much better in the rain.

iful! We got married under the white gazebo, had cocktail hour inside the ballroom, and came back outside for dinner and dancing. Ashley and Jessica were our coordinators and were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. They were always very prompt and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. Our day went off without a hitch, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. The weather (September), the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the professionalism, the organization, the decor we were able to borrow - everything was wonderful! A huge thank you to Wilson Creek and their staff!

I like things done and have absolutely nothing I would change about our wedding. We have received nothing but compliments about everything. My husband and I are both SO glad that this was our venue. I recommend it to anyone looking to have a beautiful wine country wedding. Harvest Season is also a perfect time -lush vineyards and beautiful greenery!

they have amazing food. All of my guests were in awe.

my wedding from another state. Crystal was amazing! She took care of every little detail so there was nothing to worry about, except to just enjoy our big day! Another big selling point for me was the fact that they have a groom ready room as well as the bride ready room! They were also one of the more reasonably priced venues compared to some of the others that we considered. We received so many compliments on our venue and how convenient it was that our reception was literally a few steps behind where the ceremony was. Many guests visited other wineries and agreed that we had picked the best! Having a wedding in may, everything was so green and the white roses were inn bloom everywhere! I would highly recommend Wilson Creek to any bride looking for a wedding at one of the Wineries in Temecula!

eeded.

d drinks in both rooms to help you enjoy your time getting ready even more. For cocktail hour and the rest of the night they had firepit type tables going outside since it was chilly and a warm drink table for guests when they first got to the ceremony. We bought an extra hour due to the time of year so our ceremony wouldn't be in the dark (if you get an extra hour you may also want to add on hour onto your bar package, we didn't know and the bar closed 1.5 hours before the end of the wedding). The only bad thing I can remember was that the bartender didn't give a last call.

they provided us as apart of their services was Crystal Robinson and she was so amazing! I couldn't imagine planning the wedding without her! She was so helpful! She had tons of ideas, references and suggestions! The day of the wedding I didn't have a worry in the world. Crystal took care of everything. Thank you Crystal! I had a small budget for the flowers for our wedding and we didn't need much of one because the vineyards and the grounds were so beautiful! Our ceremony was perfect (: The cocktail hour was held in the barrel room! Every one of our guests LOVED the wine and the yummy appetizers they served! To this day they still rave about how much they enjoyed the wine and champagne. We then moved into the ballroom for our reception, which leaves me speechless.... I can't thank Crystal enough for transforming the room into everything I had dreamed it could be (: The decor was fabulous! The food was not typical wedding food, it was delicious! Crystal had an awesome idea for sparklers! At the end of the night all of the employees passed them out to all of our friends and family for our sparkler farwell, we loved it! After seeing all of our wedding photos, I couldn't have imagined a better place to have our wedding at, our day was perfect! Thank you to everyone at Wilson Creek Winery who made our day the most memorable day our lives, especially Crystal!

was very unprofessional. If we were to ever get married again... (haha) it wouldn't be there. Or I would fight to get my own caterer.
