Our dream wedding

We did a destination wedding and Ponte made the process so easy. The venue is beautiful and they have preferred vendors. Our coordinator, Carly, was amazing. I’m so pleased with her attitude, responsiveness, vision, advice, and willingness to help. There are two ceremony and reception sites that are determined by guest count limitations. We got married by the pond at the Inn and our reception was in the barrel room. Everything was beautiful and perfect. The food-delicious, ambiance-incredible. Let’s not forgot how great the wine is too. For the value and quality of service, food, wine and venue appearance I would 1000000 Xs recommend you get married here!

Wedding Venue of Our Dreams!

Ponte was the setting we had dreamed of for our wedding. We loved that the layout of the Vineyard Garden, Terrace, and Pavilion allowed for a seamless and natural transition from one event to the next. In addition to just the stunning setting, our Ponte coordinator, Samantha, was there for us through every step of the way. She answered every question and concern we had and made the planning process so much less stressful. She listened to all our needs and made the day run beyond smooth — taking away the day of stress that often consumes brides and grooms. At the reception, our banquet captain Adrian ensured that we had our drink of choice and that our glasses were never empty. She helped us actually get to eat our wedding food and give us a few moments of alone time to soak it all in.
If we could do it over again, we’d pick Ponte without a second thought.

Amazing team

I need a book to tel you what we went through. Our original date was May 24,2020. Samantha Cordero absolutely exceeded our expectations. She went through 3 reschedules, 1 cancellation , and 1 rebook. Every step of the way she kept us updated even when I don’t think she really knew what was going to happen. We decided to get a FULL refund. Only because my mental health could not go through another reschedule. My husband and I talked about looking Into other locations just because we had waited so long to get married and really did not want to wait. As soon as we looked at one other location it was not the same. We have been members at Ponte and we had gone to do a tasting and saw that there was a wedding happening that day. I immediately emailed Samantha and booked a tour to rebook. She absolutely took care of us and made our wait of 4 years become the best day of our life. Everything went perfectly and turned out so amazing! I wouldn’t have changed one thing. If you can get the pleasure of working with Samantha you will not be disappointed.

It's a wedding dream come true!

This place is a true beauty! We did our wedding ceremony at The Pond garden and headed over to Barrell Room for reception. Oh it was spectacular! We had our wedding within the month of May, so the garden was already filled with flowers and the Vineyard was already blooming. The food was great too! We picked seafood, steak, and pasta as our menu. They were all great! We would defnitily come back here on our anniversary!! I highly recommend!

Truly amazing!

Ponte Winery is a truly fantastic venue. My husband and I fell in love with it as soon as we saw it in person. It truly feels like a little paradise, like you're on holiday in Europe as soon as you walk through the doors! We both loved how the winery estate isn't 100% dedicated to weddings, and therefore didn't have any kind of cheesy feeling to it. It's also amazing to be able to stay at Ponte Inn on site, spend the entire wedding weekend there at the fire pits, at the restaurants, doing wine tastings. Every one of guests really seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. I also cannot say enough good things about our wedding coordinator, Samantha. She made the whole process so seamless throughout all the planning stages, and on the day-of everything ran literally perfectly. Also, for everything Ponte offers, their pricing is unbeatable and I truly feel that the cost was worth it in every way. Forever love Ponte!

Most Gorgeous Winery Location for Temecula Wedding

We completely fell in love with Ponte Vineyard and Winery when we first visited Temecula. It could not have been a more perfect place for our destination wedding. Everyone there was incredibly helpful, especially Samantha our Coordinator. All of our Guests simply loved their stay and the winery. We could not recommend Ponte Vineyard Inn and Ponte Winery more!

Ponte Winery is a dream

We had our wedding at Ponte Winery on 10/1/2021 and it was an absolute dream. Our wedding was "smaller" (89 people) so we had our ceremony at The Pond and our reception at the Barrel Room. The Pond was beautiful and the Spanish architecture of the Ponte Inn hotel truly makes for a special and naturally beautiful atmosphere. The ceremony was gorgeous, and the cocktail hour at the neighboring Ponte Inn hotel area was a guest favorite. The reception was held in the Barrel Room, which is outfitted with actual wine barrels that many of our guests loved and commented on. It was the perfect intimate space and setup for our special day and we could not be happier. In terms of the staff, I can't say enough good things. Jordan Derham is a day-of coordinator at Ponte Winery and was assigned to our big day -- and she KILLED IT. She was attentive and communicative and entertained my many questions along the way. She was so helpful and kind and calm under pressure (which I definitely needed day-of wedding!). Throughout the planning process, there were curve balls presented by COVID, but Jordan and her team were always one step ahead and we always felt in the know and prepared for whatever was coming next. I'll also say that Ponte Winery is a great venue for those looking for an "all inclusive" type experience -- the food (delicious), bar (wonderful beer and wine options), venue, some decor (candles, coordinated market light rentals), chairs, tablecloths, day-of coordinator all come included. It was so helpful for our planning to work with one central point-of-contact for all of these elements. We are over the moon happy and made the best choice ever with Ponte Winery. We are so grateful and would highly recommend!

Above and Beyond

Jenna Judziewicz was our coordinator through the whole process. She made everything flow seamlessly. We planned our wedding in 5 months (who wants to be engaged for a year when there's marriage to be had?) and Jenna was amazingly helpful and professional. From my first phone call to our first meeting Jenna guided me through the process of planning my wedding myself. She went above and beyond to make things happen, from getting permission for us to have our wedding earlier than their standard time, to being able to use a ceremony and reception site that were usually not bundled together. Inevitably something will end up undone and for me, I just hadn't time to create and print a table seating chart for my guests. Overnight, Jenna looked at our wedding theme and created and had printed a beautiful seating chart that fit perfectly. When she showed it to me the morning of, I cried, it was so beautiful. There were many other little things she did and added to our day that made it perfect! My bridal hostess on the day of was Taylor and she helped me with last minute things I needed. All in all, my husband and I are so glad we went with Ponte, the food was FANTASTIC (my guests are still raving about it) and the atmosphere was perfectly classy. Everything that is included in Ponte's price, from the ceremony site, reception venue, food and table furnishings, day-of coordinator, and hotel stay on the wedding night, meant that I had much less to plan and worry about. My husband and I look forward to going back to Ponte Winery and Inn for many years to come to relive the memory of our perfect wedding day.

Beautiful venue, Delicious food, You won't be disappointed!

My spouse and I reviewed so many venues before landing on Ponte, but when we found it, we knew it was the one! The site is stunning, the staff is wonderful, the food is SO delicious (I’m still thinking about the Lemon Risotto and Prime Rib) and everything about it was just perfect. We had the MOST AMAZING wedding coordinator Jenna who dealt with all of our crazy e-mails because it was a destination wedding for us, and she worked so hard to make it perfect and keep us stress free (which she absolutely did). Our Disney wedding really came to life with all her hard work and choosing Ponte as our venue was really the best decision we could have ever made. Even though weddings are stressful, we would do it all over again and wouldn’t change a thing!

February Destination Wedding

Can't say enough good things about Ponte! Having an all-in-one venue (ceremony, reception, hotel) was important to us. Planning a destination wedding could have been really stressful, but the Ponte team made things easy. The food was amazing, the ceremony and reception cites were beautiful, and the hotel was great. Loved this experience and can't wait to go back on anniversary trips!

When my daughter selected a Temecula venue for her wedding, we needed to find accommodations for the bridal party and out of town guests. The Ponte Vineyard Inn served as our base camp for the weekend, and we couldn't have been happier with the accommodations and level of service. The rooms are deluxe, and the suites exceptional. All of the amenities on the property (restaurant, bar, tasting room) were fabulous, and the service provided by staff in all areas was truly exceptional. I look forward to a return visit, and highly recommend them to you!
