We got married at Ponte Winery on September 30, 2011 and it was absolutely perfect. The setting, the staff, the food...THE WINE...everything was lovely and we wouldn't have changed a thing. From the planning to the day of, staff was responsive, friendly and fun. Thank you Ponte! We will be back to visit soon!

Ponte was amazing throughout our entire wedding planning process. Tori and Karon were lifesavers. I could call with any questions that i had and they would get them answered as quickly as possible. They met with us a few times to finalize details and everything came out just as we had planned. Their day of service was great in the cottages and Tori was there running the show just like she had all 16 months of planning.

We picked Ponte Winery for our wedding and reception basically because of the picture of the barrel room on the internet. Our requests were a little out of the norm with the wedding on one day and the reception on the next but Caren worked patiently with us. To say that our dream wedding was achieved is an understatment despite the cold and rain. Our family and friends truely enjoyed the food, servie and the venue. We continue to receive compliments on the quantity and the quality of both the food and service. Thank you Caren and Pone Winery for all of your help.

I dreamed of having my wedding at Ponte Winery ever since I first visited 3 years earlier during a wine tour for a friend’s birthday. So when I got married, Ponte was the first place I visited to get all the wedding information. I also went to other wineries in the area just to make sure Ponte was the best. The PRICE, LANSCAPE, and PERSONAL ATTENTION you get from Ponte is like no other and none of the other wineries could even compare.

I loved loved loved the fact that my bridal party and I could get ready right there at the venue as well as my groom and his boys were able to get ready in their own cottage as well. It made taking “getting ready” pictures super easy since we were all right there!! That was only the start to all the great stuff they provide for no additional charge.

My ceremony was held in the garden over-looking the vineyards and was super romantic, but better yet we had our reception in the barrel room which was why I chose Ponte in the first place. The barrel room is so romantic and perfect for those planning a smaller wedding. We had 75 guests and the barrel room fit everyone perfectly and it felt so intimate and personal with everyone there and all the racks of wine barrels with the tea lights shining through. They even have up-lights that you can use instead of having to rent them!!

The food is amazing as well!!! They have their own smokehouse so food is not catered in and cold by the time your guests eat. The servers are so very sweet and friendly and quick to clean the plates off the table so the area looks clean.

Over all I would get married at Ponte a million times if I could, my wedding was epic and I would never want or wish to have had my wedding anywhere else. The only bummer is that they are now building a B&B addition and I only wish that was there when I got married!!

First, I have to mention that we researched many many wineries before selecting a few to visit before choosing Ponte Family Estate for our wedding/reception including Thorton, Wiens, Wilson Creek, Faulker, South Coast. After visiting them all, Ponte had the most beautiful grounds and wedding sites, most professional and courteous staff, the best value for the quality. Not to mention that each vendor we interviewed also raved about Ponte.

It is very difficult to express in words how wonderful Ponte Family Estate was. The grounds are stunning. Our wedding was in April and the grounds were in full bloom. The vineyards behind the ceremony site has a good amount of green growth that made an exquisite backdrop for our memorable ceremony. We chose the barrel room for our reception. It was the most romantic, unique, intimate setting that we could have chosen for our special event. The barrel room was beautifully decorated with dozens of candles, nice linens, nice chairs; the rustic charm of the wine barrels made a reception site that our guests say was "the most memorable" that have ever been to. Very romantic.

Ponte has wonderful wines. They offer a discount on wedding for Ponte wine club members. Since their wines are awesome, it is worth getting a membership. Plus wine club members get two cases of wine when booking a wedding. So, you have wine to remember your wedding for some time after the wedding.

The food at our wedding was delicious, perfectly presented and raved over during and after the wedding. We had shrimp and prime rib which was high quality for the cost as compared to other wineries. Combined with tasty wines and champagne, it was the perfect culinary experience for our reception. Also, the staff that worked at the wedding and reception were responsive and professional.

The staff was professional and courteous at all phases of planning and during the event. Caren was a wonderful coordinator. She responded quickly and efficiently to all of our requests; they were able to accommodate most of our requests including a different table configuration, linens, food, prices. We communicated mostly with Caren during most of the planning. During the wedding preparation, wedding and reception, there were so many people catering to our needs and wants; honestly, I cannot remember all of their names but our event would not have been the same without them. Every person at Ponte is professional at all times.

Some awesome perks for bride and grooms choosing Ponte for their wedding and reception venue include a one year anniversary luncheon, free one year wine club membership for the bride and groom. Bride and groom cottages to prepare for the wedding. These really make you feel like Ponte cares about their bride and grooms.

By the way, South Coast Winery is next door and the bride/groom and guests can get a romantic villa for after the wedding so you don't have to drive far after the reception and lots of tasty wine at Ponte. They include a bottle of wine and breakfast with the room if you don't have to rush off to the airport in the morning. A romantic place for your wedding night.

Because of the beautiful grounds, the wedding pictures were exquisite.

The one thing I would recommend is bringing a flashlight for getting everything out of the cottages after the reception. It was very dark at 10 PM.

My wedding coordinator was awesome (C.Gomez)!!! She was very responsive and professional. Ponte is very beautiful and peaceful. If you are looking for a winery site in Temecula that only caters to one couple per day and one that is gorgeous...then look no further than Ponte Family Estates. My family and guests kept saying how beautiful the place was and that they would have to come back and visit...Ponte Family Estates made my wedding day very special!!!!

pnte is so beautiful,I decided that I will amrry here the first time I went there.great staff and beutiful vineyard background made my wedding special.

We could not have asked for a more amazing location to have my wedding. The facilities at Ponte are beautiful and well designed. They have welcoming cottages for both the bride and groom to spend the day there in peace and quiet. The backdrop of the vineyards is second to none. We had our reception in the extremely unique barrel room. The wedding coordination staff pays attention to every detail. The best part of the wedding had to be the food. The chef's at the Smokehouse restaurant put out a stunning array of menu options and the food tastes fantastic.

You cannot go wrong with a wedding at Ponte.

The staff was awesome...everything turned out perfect...and we have the pictures to prove it.

During our wedding planning the special events team got a whole new staff. I have to admitt that I was very nervous about this, but they did such an amazing job. Our guests have not stopped mentioning how wonderful the location, service, food, etc.. We were so pleased that we went with Ponte!

We loved Ponte! Tori was our coordinator and she was extremly efficient. It rained on our wedding day, so we did not have the vineyard view as we dreamed. However, we were moved into the Barrel Room which was even more lovely and romantic. Everybody at Ponte wanted to ensure that we had a glorious day and that we did! Thank you!

Our Ponte wedding was absolutely perfect! The whole staff was so easy to work with and I had a relatively easy time communicating on weekdays despite planning my wedding from across the country. The venue was simply beautiful, the food was delicious, and I received so many compliments about the venue! Caren Gomez was great, and the catering staff who handled our rehearsal dinner and wedding were incredibly helpful, friendly, and warm!

This place was amazing. When we got married in 2009, I looked at ALL the wineries. Ponte was actually the fist one we looked at. They offered so much more, for so much less. They had there stuff together, and were coming up with so many upgrades in time for my wedding, I didn't have to pay for anything extra. Caren was the best. The food was amazing and everyone loves the view and atmosphere. I cant say enough good things about ponte. I was so excited to see the new wedding pavilion that was constructed last year, it is so beautiful. This place will really take care of you and spoil you on your big day. so many truly professional details makes this the BEST place to say I DO :)

The staff at Ponte was super easy to work with. We loved the vibe and atmosphere at Ponte. Plus now we are wine club members since we got married there and we can continue to enjoy the place we got married at for years to come. The staff made the day run seemless, my bridesmaids were able to enjoy the wedding with me and not have to worry about last minute details. Everything was perfect!! I enjoyed every minute of my wedding at Ponte Winery!!

Ponte is a beautiful place to get married in many ways. The venue is gorgeous. The staff was very attentive during the planning stages and equally helpful in executing a beautiful reception. We had our reception in the Barrel Room. I think it is unparalleled in uniqueness, as opposed to the big tent outside, but I had a small wedding (80 people) so we were within the limits for that room. The food was fantastic. I recieved many complements that the food was the best people had ever had at a wedding. Specifically, we had filet mignon as a menu option and they were cooked quite nicely to medium rare. Best of all, they take care of all of the catering, equipment, and bar. It made planning much easier for us. The only down fall is the cost (about $115/person), but thats going rate for a winery wedding.

Everything was so amazing at my wedding at Ponte!! They staff were amazing and everything went soooo smoothly without me having to lift a finger the day of the wedding! I highly reccommend having your wedding here!!
