History
Steve Chapin, a born and raised Southern California boy, started his vineyard in 2002 with just five acres and three varieties of grapes — Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Verdot. Since 2012, Chapin Family Vineyards has managed to use 100 percent of the grapes grown and harvested on their property for their own wine. Today, Chapin Family Vineyards produces, bottles, and sells 15 different wines. Steve Chapin is proud of the small vineyard and intimate connection he is able to form with visitors and guests.

Location
Chapin Family Vineyards is located in the South Park neighborhood of Temecula. Temecula is located between Los Angeles and San Diego. The closest airport is Ontario International Airport, approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the Inland Empire. Nearby hotels, including SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Best Western Country Inn, and The Hotel Temecula, are located approximately 20 minutes from the vineyard.

Best Wedding Venue

If you are considering having your wedding here, Do IT! It is the most beautiful venue, the staff is awesome. Laura is the best! She helps you through the whole process. The back drop and sunset are amazing. I highly recommend renting out their suite for the weekend. It definitely came in handy for my bridal party to get ready and we were all so comfortable, very spacious. Our family and friends, said how amazing our wedding was and so beautiful. I wish I could go back and do it all again.

Best day ever!

Hidden gem and a complete dream come true. We got married in June so it was a little toasty but the vineyards were just gorgeous!! The few sneak peeks we’ve seen are beautiful! Beautiful venue and amazing staff. The on-site bridal suite is absolutely gorgeous and an amazing amenity they offer. I Highly recommend renting it for the weekend if you get married here! Laura was amazing to work with and made every detail perfect. She is so sweet and very responsive throughout the entire process. After the wedding she packed everything up so quickly and had it ready to us to pick up the next morning. Our entire experience from start to finish was just incredible! And Chapin wine is just the cherry on top! So good!!!! Thank you Laura and Chapin staff for making our dreams come true.

I wish I could relive my wedding day again and again!

I'm so grateful for the patience and commitment that Chapin Family Vineyards had towards this bride whose wedding was delayed for almost 3 years! I chose Chapin as my wedding venue back in 2019, but it wasn't until April 2022 that I was finally able to get married after continuous COVID delays and life changes.

Laura is an immensely helpful wedding coordinator through and through; she will guide you from the beginnings of your planning to the wedding day. Even after I moved out of state, she stayed in contact with me and helped me plan it remotely without much delay or roadblocks. It's rare to find a venue that has a day-of AND venue coordinator wrapped into one. Even during the stressful parts of my planning, she was a capable, confident, and prompt coordinator. She's highly experienced and determined to make sure your day is beautifully memorable!

The venue itself is a great outdoor location. It has plenty of shaded areas and patio coverings for warmer days. Springtime is the best for getting the sprawling backdrop of the vineyards in your photos without getting much of the Temecula heat. It's a great California-style winery with the palm trees complimenting the rolling chaparral landscape; it made it all the more important to me that I was able to be married in my hometown!

I'm over-the-moon happy I was able to get married at Chapin! I appreciate that it's a family-owned winery so you get more of the homegrown touch and local flair. This isn't a big box, commercialized winery; you don't need to worry about pre-determined schedules, inflexible staffing, and set restaurant menus. This winery is more personal and they go the extra mile to make sure you feel it too! Thank you again Chapin Vineyards and Laura for making my wedding day the best day of my life

Amazing venue and coordinator


This venue was perfect. It accommodated my 80 guests perfectly. I could not have asked for a better coordinator. She took care of my vendors, and ran my wedding and rehearsal dinner better than I expected. We could not have done it without her. I would give her and the venue more stars if I could.

We love Chapin for its beautiful venue, delicious wine and amazing staff. Our wedding was exactly what we had hoped. We decided to have a different/less formal approach to our wedding and Laura was happily willing to make my vision a reality. Lots of love and plenty of good wine.
Laura and Tammy went out of their way to make sure everything worked out perfectly. Laura is very experienced when it comes to wedding coordination and brings everything together with great attitude and professionalism.
We have been members of Chapin Family Vineyards for a long time now and have made amazing friends with their staff. Thank you everyone!

We had our wedding in April 2018 at Chapin and it was amazing! Such a beautiful venue (and amazingly priced compared to the surrounding Temecula vineyards)! It turned out exacrly how I imagined! The staff, especially Laura the on site coordinator, were absolutely amazing and so friendly and helpful! Laura always got back to me extremely quick (which was especially important because I was planning the wedding from overseas) and she made sure everything was in order for the day! I love that I was able to bring in any vendor I wanted, as most require their in house or specific caterers, and it allowed me to make our day more ours because we could plan it how we wanted it! I would highly recommend Chapin to anyone! The venue, views, wine, and staff are all amazing!

We had our wedding at Chapin Family Vineyards in December 2014. Although, our wedding party was very small, we were treated like royalty by the Chapin Family & Staff. We live in AZ, and we could not have pulled off this destination wedding without our local allies. Our Wedding Coordinator/Ceremonial Officiant, Laura Reyes, helped keep us focused on our special day, versus stressing about arrangements - family transportation (Trolley), reception setup, helping with vows, and last minute errands. Laura even gave suggestions for photo locations we would not have considered. We are forever grateful to Steve and Tim Chapin for helping make our wedding day special - spreading tons of wood chips on our wedding march path after 48 hours of rain, & Steve pairing his wonderful wines for each meal course. When we look back on our wedding experience with Chapin Family Vineyards and Laura, we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! -Nicole & Michelle Magnus
