Sneha R. Sent on 08/10/2020Beautiful venue with awesome staff
We had chosen Falkner winery for our March 2020 wedding. Loretta, Kristina and their staff were all very accommodating to all our requests (we had planned 2 ceremonies followed by a reception). Throughout the whole planning process, Loretta and Kristina were both very responsive and answered all my questions with great details.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to postpone our March wedding and Loretta worked really well with us to help us choose a new date in August 2020. Then, the winery caught a fire because of which they couldn't do weddings for a while and Loretta immediately called to inform us about this and suggested some other venues so that we could continue with our wedding plans. She also promptly offered to refund us the full amount without us even having to ask. I was very sad that we couldn't have our wedding at Falkner winery but I was really amazed to see how well Loretta handled everything. We eventually ended up getting married at South Coast Winery in Temecula but I want to thank Loretta and her team for all the effort they put in planning our big day. My husband and I can't wait to go back to Falkner winery in a few years to renew our vows. -

Sharon C. Sent on 09/16/2019Loved the Venue
My wife and I planned our wedding from across the country. We moved to Michigan but wanted to get married back home in California surrounded by family and close friends. It was hard choosing a venue relying only on photos and reviews but my wife and I are so glad we chose Falkner Winery. The venue was beautiful and they were wonderful to work with. We had the pleasure of working with Loretta Falkner and their event manager, Khristina. A few days before our wedding, there was a wild fire in the neighboring city. We were stressed and worried because our plan was to do an outdoor ceremony and reception. We called Loretta and Christina to discuss the situation but they both told us to relax and offered moving everything indoors. We felt bad for the last minute changes but they assured us that it was totally fine, everything will be taken care of and for us not to worry. Well it turned out the winds were blowing the smoke away from the venue on our wedding day. We asked to go back to our original plans for an outdoor ceremony and reception. Without hesitation, they agreed and made it happen. I don't know many venues that will bend over backwards during wedding season for their customers but Falkner Winery went above and beyond. My wife is a very picky person(I hope she doesn't read this) but she couldn't stop raving about Khristina and the venue. I would highly recommend checking out this venue for your special day. Loretta, it has been a pleasure working with you for over a year. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and introduce yourself during rehearsal. Kristina, thank you for making our special day perfect and please thank your kids for sharing their mom with us- we kept you at work pretty late. Again, thank you all for making our special day truly amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. -

Melissa Sent on 02/29/2020Best Decision Ever
Loretta and her staff we amazing from the early stages to the final moments of our day. I couldn’t have picked a better winery not only for the beautiful views, but, the amazing staff. The tasting went smooth and was delicious, the rehearsal went smooth. We really wanted a pinnacle ceremony but a garden reception, Loretta and her staff were able to make our dreams come true. Kristy, (Kristina) was our coordinator and I cannot tell you enough just how amazing she was. She was always responsive to emails, understood our vision and executed it perfectly. Falkner Winery thank you for making our dreams come true! -

Kali Sent on 07/31/2019Amazing venue!
We had our wedding at Falkner this past June, and it was one of the best decisions we made. The venue is absolutely stunning. We particularly loved our ceremony site (the Pinnacle site), which starts with an incredible walk between cypress trees/under jasmine and leads to the ceremony site surrounded by white rose bushes with beautiful views of the hills and vines. Everything was in full bloom in June! I cannot count the number of guests that told us how beautiful of a setting it was. Loretta and Krissy were great to work with from the very start and much more accommodating than other venues we spoke to. They were so responsive and professional, and we really felt like they cared about us having a wonderful wedding day there. They were very accommodating to our wants/needs. They helped us get farm tables and cross-back chairs from a local vendor and were just generally helpful since they know the Temecula Valley and vendors there well. And they have hard alcohol, which 90% of wineries do not have a license for. Overall, it was a fantastic experience having our wedding at Falkner. We can't wait to go back and visit! -

Jessica Sent on 06/22/2019Hidden Gem- breathtaking scenery, unbeatable prices, hardworking and professional staff
Words and ratings cannot adequately express how PERFECT our wedding day 5/6/2019 was at Falkner Winery. We chose Falkner Winery because of how intimate it felt- nestled on a hill with breathtaking vineyard views. We had the privilege of having Krissy as our event manager. From the moment we requested for more information to the very end of our wedding, all of our questions were answered and all of our concerns were put to ease. We even had a Monday wedding. Krissy is usually off on Mondays, but she switched her days off that week to handle our wedding. Our wedding day was so much more than we prayed for and that’s all because of the venue, wonderful staff, and Krissy! If you are still considering Falkner, I would reach out to them and you’ll be comforted as soon as you speak with Loretta that you’ve found the right venue. -

Taylor C. Sent on 06/20/2019Falkner Winery Weddings Are a Dream!
When my now husband and I were looking for the perfect wedding venue we were told to check out Falkner Winery in Temecula. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony at a winery with an indoor reception and cocktail hour in a barrel room. After visiting Falkner Winery we fell in love with the venue and felt like not only were all our boxes checked for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception but we were also blow away at the professionalism during our tour. We could tell right away that this wasn't their first rodeo but that they've been hosting and running successful weddings for years. We booked the venue that day and couldn't have loved the whole experience more. Our wedding day was a dream and we LOVED our day of coordinator Krissy. She made everything so easy and stress free. We felt like we could actually enjoy the day and put our full trust in her to run everything perfectly. She made sure we ate dinner and that things stayed on schedule. Our guests loved the venue, the food, and of course the wine! It was all incredible. I couldn't recommend Falkner Winery more to brides looking for a romantic and gorgeous vineyard wedding. -

Lisa M. Sent on 05/25/2019Best Venue in Temecula at the price
Other couple’s reviews did not disappoint when we booked and eventually held our wedding at Falkner Winery. We were lucky enough to have Krissy as our coordinator, as I’m pretty sure she could run a wedding in her sleep at this point. She knew exactly what to do, even when I was completely dazed and exhausted after all the pictures and emotions. Loretta was a huge help as well, as she touched base with me every step of the way regarding payments and updates. Both ladies are incredibly friendly and ready to help with anything.
The winery as a whole is the perfect wedding spot. After looking at a few places, we realized we couldn’t beat this venue. Falkner has an incredible view, great staff and everything included at a reasonable price. The open beer and wine bar was great for us, but they also received their liquor license recently, which is great! The most important thing to remember is that this place was meant for weddings (and wine making), so they have it down to an art. You really don’t need to worry about much come wedding time compared to other places that aren’t as wedding oriented. And you get an INCREDIBLE background for pictures. -

Tina Sent on 04/01/2019Naturally Beautiful Venue
Falkner Winery is an absolutely beautiful place to get married. The grounds have so much of their own natural beauty. I definitely have to give all the credit to Krissy the event manager because she was absolutely amazing! Everything went off with a few small mishaps that were never noticed by guest. Definitely recommend this venue. -

Falkner went above and beyond our highest expectations!
Our experience was a 10. Loretta and her staff are so competent! Crissy is amazing and worth her weight in gold. She not only helps the whole day of the wedding but is available to answer any questions beforehand.Our daughter lives in Taiwan so this was a destination wedding . We had not one problem! Our food was 5 star. The wine was flowing all night. Our 100 guests that came from China,Sweden,TawainAlbania and all over the USA have said it was the nicest wedding they have been to. My one huge regret is that I forgot to buy her wine to bring home to Minnesota! They don’t sell it here. I am so sad about that☹️ DMT -

Alyssa Sent on 10/21/2018Best day ever!
I am beyond grateful that we chose Falkner Winery for our reception venue! We looked at so many different places, but ultimately just fell in love with the outdoor "Yard" space at Falkner with its incredible views and intimate feel. We also loved that Falkner has their own catering staff and facilities on-site and of course that they provide the wine and beer as well. It just made things easier not to have to worry about booking a separate caterer too. We booked with Falkner exactly a year out from our wedding date (9/28), and our coordinator Krissy was SO helpful answering all of our questions leading up to the wedding, especially toward the end when I had new questions popping up every day. Krissy truly served as a day-of coordinator for us, and we did not need to hire our own. She helped me with the vision for the space and mapping out where everything would go. I dropped off all of our signs and extra decor the day before the wedding and she and my florist arranged everything beautifully the day of the wedding. We had our ceremony at a church nearby, so when we made our grand entrance at the reception and finally got to see the Yard space all set up, we were just blown away! There is something about the light at Falkner during sunset that is just magical. We timed it so that our first dance happened just as the sun was starting to set, and there was this gorgeous, golden glow all around the space. We got really lucky with the weather too - it was about 75-80 degrees all evening and just perfect to be outside. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the space was and how nice it was to be outdoors. The serving staff for the reception was awesome, and the food was really good! Krissy took such good care of us and had plates and glasses of wine waiting for us when we got back from taking sunset pictures in the vineyards. We were so hungry and it gave us a chance to just sit and enjoy our food before starting to mingle with everyone. The only part of the meal that wasn't as good as it was during the tasting was the prime rib. We paid extra for the carving station at the buffet but unfortunately the meat was very chewy and overcooked, so that was a little disappointing. But everything else was delicious, and Falkner also has a lot of Gluten Free options on their menu which was good for our guests. Krissy helped keep everything running smoothly and on-schedule during the reception too - from special dances to the toasts to the cake cutting. Everything flowed really nicely and we were able to open the dance floor pretty early which was good because our guests danced the entire time!! It was seriously the best day - better than we ever could have expected! At the end of the night, we did a grand exit and my husband and I left for our mini-honeymoon in Dana Point straight from the reception so we needed to make sure we had all of our luggage, cards, guestbook, etc. packed in the car. I gave Krissy a list of things that needed to come with us before the wedding and she did not forget a single thing! I was seriously so impressed. She even sent us off with some champagne for the road which was so sweet :) We can't thank everyone at Falkner enough for our amazing wedding day!! If you are looking for a gorgeous winery venue in Temecula and an awesome coordinator, look no further than Falkner Winery! -

Reba A. Sent on 02/08/2019Best winery, amazing staff, memorable experience
Loretta and her team are honestly the best people to work with. They REALLY care about your day and take the time to check in, follow up and make sure you are not stressing! Also this venue provides almost every detail for your reception, or saved us so much! When we have a vow renewal it will be here again!! -
Debi Sent on 08/14/2018Beautiful outdoor setting for the wedding and reception. Everything was in bloom the end of July. Lots of shade and great weather. Wonderful food. Everyone loved the market lighting and twinkling candles. Krissy, our coordinator, did a fantastic job keeping everyone calm and happy. Highly recommend Falkner for any wedding.

Roxanna Sent on 06/05/2018Falkner Winery has legitimately made all of my wedding venue dreams come true. When searching for the perfect spot, my husband and I saw a lot of spots that didn’t fit the exact vision we were going for. Until we stepped into Falkner Winery. I remember when we got there we saw the garden reception area, looked at each other and said “this is it”. With the biggest smile on our faces. I still get chills thinking about how perfect it was! The views are so spectacular and so beautiful and whimsical it hit every single look we were going for. The food was amazing and the wine was so delicious!! You just can’t go wrong with this place! Let alone, the staff was absolutely amazing! The owner Loretta Falkner was the person who originally toured us around her property. The next day we emailed her telling her was wanted to book!! She was so awesome! Loretta is so fortunate to have her colleague and day of coordinator Krissy. SHE WAS SO AMAZING. There isn’t even enough space for me to write how awesome Krissy is. She was so quick to reply to all my emails. My wedding day would not have gone so smoothly if it wasn’t for her. She was our guardian angel that day and handled everything with poise and ease. My husband and I are so grateful for Krissy. Whoever books this venue is so lucky to have her! Thank you again, Falkner Winery! We love you!!!

Monica Sent on 04/06/20185 Stars doesn't do Falkner winery justice, Yelp, I need more stars! We were looking for an outdoor garden wedding and this venue exceeded our expectations. Beautiful is an understatement.
The professionalism, care, attentive & helpful spirit, personable service, attention to detail, everything was so spectacular-spectacular, from my first tour mid July 2017, to the culmination of our wedding on 03/17/18. This was the ONLY wedding venue tour that we needed to take, it literally encompassed every important dimension of our dream wedding. We fell head over heels in love upon first sight.
Thank you sooo much Falkner winery, we look forward to celebrating our 1 year anniversary with you next year!

Priscilla Sent on 02/02/2018I can not express how absolutely AMAZING Falkner Winery and their wedding team is. Our wedding day on was a dream come true all thanks to them! From the start Loretta was so sweet and answered all of our questions and concerns quickly and professionally. Her chearful friendly personality really made you feel welcome and a part of the Falkner Winery family. Then came Krissy. Oh My Lanta! There are no words for how amazing she is! I've met other wedding managers or day of coordinators and no one compares to Krissy. I was expecting at least something to go wrong on our wedding day because usually something does.. but nothing did! Our wedding day was PERFECT! And IF there was a problem, Krissy and her team were so quick and good at fixing it that NO ONE noticed. Not even this bride! One thing that really impressed me is they set up EVERYTHING for you. Even the stuff we brought from home. The food and wine were so delicious. The professionalism the employees have is too notch and the venue and view is BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding day was defiantly the BEST DAY EVER. And I owe it ALL to Falkner Winery, Loretta, Krissy and their team! Thank you SO much for making our day PERFECT! I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect wedding in wine country!

Karen Sent on 10/26/2017We had our wedding here October 15, 2017 in the pinnacle and it was so amazing! We fell in love with the ceremony site in the vineyard as soon as we saw it and knew this was where we wanted to have our wedding. Loretta the owner of the winery was a pleasure to work with. She was very prompt and responded to any questions in a timely manner. That is so helpful when trying to coordinate with your vendors! Our day of coordinator Cassie was on top of everything. We did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. Everything went perfectly as planned thanks to Cassie. She was there to put us at ease. We also used 3 vendors(officiant, dj & cake) from their preferred vendor list which were amazing! We chose not to do a food tasting before the wedding but everything we chose for the buffet was delicious. Also, the option for having the cocktail hour in the barrel room was great, our guests loved it. My fiancé and I dreamed of having a wedding in Temecula and the affordability of this venue is incredible. I would highly recommend Falkner Winery for your wedding Day. Not only is it beautiful but they really make sure you have a perfect wedding day!
