Yasmine Q. Sent on 05/04/2023Amazing Day!
I recently got married at Leoness Cellars on 4/22/23 and it was nothing short of amazing! Bernadette and staff were awesome and amazing! The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations! Bernadette ensured everything went smoothly and handled business when necessary. The views were amazing and ceremony site was beautiful! The barrel room was breath taking! I loved everything about the venue and what it had to offer and it did not disappoint at all. Thank you Leoness for an amazing day!!!! -

We cannot recommend this group enough. They exceeded my husband's and I's expectations of what our wedding could have been.
We found this place by accident by looking through wineries in Temecula after a last-minute cancelation with another venue. The team worked with us the next day. We had a great tour and wine tasting and, after a short discussion, quickly chose Leoness.
During the following year, they did have a change of staff but stayed in contact with us and kept us in the loop every step.
Alex and Taryn eventually were the people we worked with, and I could write a book about how amazing they treated us and ensure that their day went on without a hitch. Again, communication was vital here. They answered our questions quickly and professionally. They worked with us on selecting linens and keeping our vendors in the loop. FYI - they have a great list of vendor partners as well.
The day of rehearsal and wedding rolled around, and they guided us through every step of the way. Jorge and I left everything we needed for the ceremony and reception at the venue on the day of rehearsal. Their staff set up the reception and ceremony site for us, and we brought extra supplies too, just in case. They outdid themselves, and it looked better than we ever imagined.
Every staff person we had was just a pleasure to work with, from the bar and waitstaff to the 3rd party security team. Geuniuanly pleasant people to work with given that we had a bi-lingual party, it never was an issue.
If you are looking for your perfect venue, you need to stop by Leoness and talk to the team.

Toni Sent on 07/23/2021Highly recommend!!! We had the best wedding!!
Leoness Cellars was the most beautiful venue and perfect location for our wedding! The ceremony spot overlooking the vines is so incredible and breath taking! And the barrel room makes for an incredible evening with your guests and loved ones. The ceremony spot is so beautiful it really doesn't require much of anything in terms of decorations. You will feel like you have been transported to Europe. The catering company used for dinner service (Temecula Catering) was exceptional. We had so many comments that the food was the best anyone had ever eaten at a wedding! We completely agree! The wine at Leoness is also so good! The staff at Leoness on rehearsal and wedding day were incredible! So attentive and made sure everything went smoothly! One of the other nice things about Leoness is that it is not as known as some of the other wineries in Temecula and is one of the more affordable wineries in the Temecula area. We would highly recommend this picturesque winery for your wedding! -

Deeanna M. Sent on 08/21/2021Perfect Venue - Beautiful Views & Great Coordinators!
You cannot beat the beautiful vineyard views that Leoness Cellars provides. The backdrop to the ceremony location is just stunning! I still have guests raving that Leoness Cellars was the most beautiful wedding venue they have seen. This venue also provides the unique experience of walking through the vines to get to the reception area, creating a fun photo opportunity for the guests during cocktail hour.
The Barrel Room is the perfect setting for the reception. It really immerses you into feeling like you're in the wine production room and brings the winery theme full circle. Just have some up lighting around the room and that's all you'll have to do since the room is already so stunning.
Alex and Louise were our coordinators and what a great team! They made us feel comfortable and confident going into the big day. I did not have to worry about a single detail being incorrect or the timeline going astray; truly a wonderful, professional team. Thank you Alex and Louise! -

Amazing wedding venue!!!
We could not have hoped for a more perfect wedding venue than Leoness. With so many wineries in Temecula, it can be hard to choose- but the view from the ceremony lawn at Leoness made the decision easy for us. Absolutely stunning. After the ceremony, guests take a short walk through the vines to the barrel room for the reception. Our wedding was in August 2021 and the vines were bursting with green leaves and grapes- absolutely gorgeous! Our guests loved it. The only thing better than the view at Leoness was the staff. Alexandra Jones, our wedding coordinator, was extremely attentive, responsive, and so friendly from day 1 . Thanks to her, the day of was flawless. We had an absolutely perfect day, thanks to Leoness! We would recommend Leoness to anyone and everyone!! -

Andrea Sent on 12/08/2019Absolutely breathtaking wedding
My husband and I began our search in May 2018 for the perfect winery venue for our wedding day. We have been visiting Temecula Valley for almost four years now and absolutely love everything about wine country. We inquired at various wineries and Leoness Cellars stood out to us in so many ways. It is elegant, allows one wedding per day, a beautiful barrel room that can accommodate about 200+ guests, and has an absolute breathtaking view of the rolling vineyards at the ceremony site. Their red wines are so delicious too! When we asked to visit and look at their establishment for our potential wedding, we were greeted with a warm smile by Mary and Lindsey who showed us around the grounds, provided complimentary tastings, and made us feel so comfortable. They were both professional and answered all our questions/concerns that we had. When my fiancé (at the time) and I left Leoness, we knew right away that this was the place we were going to say “I DO.” After booking our wedding with Leoness, I began working closely with Mary who is the site coordinator through email. She was amazing and made my entire experience of planning my wedding stress free. She responds quickly to all emails, is well organized, and extremely kind. She would email me reminders and would check in to assist/support me with any needs that I had. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to have worked with throughout the whole planning process. She constantly updated any plans I had made for the ceremony site and reception area and organized tastings with the caterer in a timely fashion. We recently got married on November 9, 2019 at Leoness and it was absolutely magical and more than I had envisioned! Mary and the staff did a fantastic job of catering to us and our guests in a professional and friendly manner. It was intimate, private, and beautiful! My guests still talk about my wedding (it will be one month tomorrow) and I get daily compliments from colleagues about my photographs that I have shared on social media. The day of our wedding, Mary and her team were available at all times, catered to our needs, and ensured that my husband and I got our wine and dinner during dinner service. My husband and I have become members at Leoness Cellars and will continue to reminisce about our wedding day that took place on their grounds. If you are looking for a vineyard feel and intimate setting for your wedding venue, please take a tour of Leoness Cellar grounds and look into their packages. You won’t regret it. -

Hallie Sent on 10/18/2017My husband and I recently got married at Leoness and we are confident that it will be a wedding that is not soon forgotten or talked about. We started the wedding venue search in January of this year, and it was an easy decision once we compared spots of where to have our wedding. Leoness really has it all. Vineyard views, spectacular wine and food, affordable, AND our amazing planner Mary and day of coordinator Alex who we now feel like we will be mailing Christmas cards! Mary made the process so easy. She was responsive and was there for us the entire planning process. When it came to the day of, I felt like I was a holiday celebrity! They have weddings so dialed in, that I did not have to worry about a thing. When I wanted wine, wine appeared. Food? Cheese and crackers would be there waiting. Private car? Sure! All the way up to the ceremony site and throughout the vineyard to take pictures. Our wedding was absolutely magical. For me, releasing control of planning is not an easy task, but with Mary and her team at the helm, I was at ease from moment 1. Not to mention THE WINE! Many of our guests told us they thought that the wine was the best they had tasted in the region. So much so, we had a group of friends go to Leoness to taste and for the lunch the next day. Leoness has not just become where we got married that one time. It is somewhere we now have friends and will visit for many years to come as a happily married couple. You will not regret choosing Leoness as your perfect winery venue! -

User1179789 Sent on 05/29/2013I was recently married at Leoness and I would highly recommend it to everyone! I was in awe from the moment I saw the view but it wasn't until I met Laura, the wedding manager that I knew I had to be married here. She was so knowledgeable and organized and wasn't pushy like the other places. Laura seemed to really care about our wedding and was so helpful throughout the whole process. She always had a hug for me, which every stressed out bride could use. The entire staff that day was amazing. The winery is gorgeous and the food was great too! They exceeded my expectations. Truly phenomenal!Leoness Cellars's reply:
Thanks you for the wonderful review and we are thrilled you were so happy with everything! Laura is very knowledgeable and we are lucky to have her. Thanks again and we hope to see you back soon! -
User1516306 Sent on 01/23/2014Leoness went above and beyond to make our wedding a fantastic day. They had great communication leading up to the event and were very flexible with our plans. The onsite coordinator made the difference and ran things flawlessly. We even forgot a case of wine keys and they shipped them to us free of charge. Fantastic Venue!Leoness Cellars's reply:
Thanks so much! You two were a pleasure to work with and had such a fun and beautiful wedding! -
Morgan Sent on 12/16/2017Everything about this place was perfect to us - the ceremony site overlooks the mountains, the barrel room is awesome, and the patio lets you spend some time outdoors with firepits if you want them lit. We did hit a few snags - even though the venue was always accommodating. The person we were working with left the company abruptly (or at least it felt that way to us) - we were transitioned to a new point person and started working with Lidia and Mary who were absolutely wonderful. Mary thought of everything and helped us along the way. We were a little worried when Leoness started undergoing some construction 10 months before we got married-- just two months after we selected the venue. However, everything was done with plenty of time before the big day and all of the changes were fantastic. They were also extremely transparent with us about the changes showing us the design and letting us know how ultimately it would be better for us. One thing to note is that the getting ready rooms are dark/have poor lighting (it is an auxiliary barrelling room) so warn your photographer ahead of time and potentially show them the room before the day, so they are prepared. Overall, we had an excellent experience, and there are many upgrades available if you are interested in special linens or chairs or anything else. They will help you get what you want, and they do have the ability to obtain some craft beers if the bar selection is not enough for you!
