Gabriel Sent on 06/01/2026The best day!
Our wedding at Monserate Winery was truly the best day of our lives! From start to finish, the entire process was so seamless that it almost felt too good to be true, especially given how popular the venue is. We booked our wedding two years in advance and were originally planning to get married at Tuscan Estate before eventually moving to Monte Bella. Both venues are absolutely gorgeous, but switching to Monte Bella was the best decision for our 200+ guests. I cannot thank Meilee enough for everything she did throughout the process—from our engagement photos and wedding tasting to making sure our wedding day was perfect. She was always available to answer our questions and made us feel supported every step of the way. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the food, and the incredible staff. A huge thank you to Molly and Carissa for helping us book the venue, Stephanie for answering countless questions and assisting with our venue change, Meilee for coordinating all the amazing details, Tristan and Miguel for taking such great care of us during our rehearsal lunch and wine tasting, and Ansley for helping with all of our day-of needs. Every single staff member we interacted with was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. Monserate Winery will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to return and relive the memories for years to come. Thank you for helping create the most perfect day we could have imagined! - Gabriel & AmandaMonserate Winery's reply:

Monserate Winery is beautiful and the location is perfect for a peaceful and intimate wedding. My fiancé and I were really excited to see the venue, and the tour was made even better by Jennifer Navarro who was the best tour guide that we've encountered. She was very open-minded and answered all of the questions that we had. We want to personally thank her for her flexibility and helpfulness during our visit. We would recommend Jennifer to anyone who is looking to potentially view Monserate.

Mike Sent on 12/07/2025The Best Day Ever!
We had our wedding at Monserate Winery at their Villa De Fiore site in May, and it was simply the Italian Wedding of our dreams. We looked at so many wedding venues, and there were many prospects, but we knew instantly when we walked the grounds at Monserate that this place was on another level. Walking around the venue, we were instantly transported back to Tuscany and the Italian countryside. This place exuded classic Italian charm with luxury and elegance. From the beautifully curated landscaping to the gorgeous bridal and groomsman suites and the magnificent ballrooms, Monserate Winery was breathtaking. Then there was Carissa. I can’t state our appreciation enough, but our team was so wonderful, and we were so blessed to have Carissa as our venue coordinator. Her energy and her love for making wedding couples’ dreams come true were evident the moment we met. She was so accommodating with the many, MANY changes we requested and did everything she could to give us what we asked for. She was very responsive and kept us on track every step of the way. On the day of, she met us at the venue, told us to relax as best we could, and took charge with our own wedding coordinator and orchestrated the best day of our lives. She even drove my bride in the golf cart to the far end of the lake for her dramatic walk around the lake. If you get the opportunity to choose, ask for Carissa; she’s the best!!Monserate Winery's reply:
We are truly honored that Villa De Fiore was the setting for your Italian wedding dreams, and it means the world to hear how transported you felt the moment you stepped onto the grounds. Creating that Tuscan charm and timeless elegance is exactly what we strive for, and we’re thrilled it resonated so deeply with you.
Your kind words about the property from the landscaping and suites to the ballrooms are so appreciated. And of course, a huge thank you for highlighting Carissa. She is truly exceptional, and we’re beyond grateful to have her on our team. Knowing her passion, flexibility, and leadership helped bring your vision to life is wonderful to hear.
Thank you for trusting us with such a meaningful day and for sharing your experience! -

We had our wedding at Monserate (Tuscan Estate), and it was truly such a beautiful day. The venue itself is stunning — from the scenery to the atmosphere, everything felt romantic and thoughtfully cared for. Our guests kept complimenting how beautiful everything looked, and it really made the day feel special.
We also worked with Meilee McConnaughey, who was kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. She made sure we stayed organized, kept things running smoothly, and helped ease so much of the stress that comes with a wedding. We’re really grateful for her calm energy and all the behind-the-scenes work she put in to make the day go well.
Thank you again to the entire team for helping bring our vision to life — it’s a day we will always remember.Monserate Winery's reply:

Dream venue!!
I honestly cannot recommend Monserate Winery (Tuscan Estate) enough. We had our wedding here a couple months ago, and we couldn't be happier. From the moment we walked onto the property for our tour, I remember looking around and realizing we didn’t need to see a single other venue and this was it. The Tuscan-style architecture and the whole vibe of the estate is even more stunning in person than any photo could capture.
What truly brought everything together was the staff. Specifically, Carissa deserves a HUGE spotlight. From day one, she was everything you hope for in a venue coordinator: incredibly sweet, calm, organized, professional, and always one step ahead. We can’t imagine or wedding day without her. She was always available to answer any questions we had along the way. Thanks to her attention to detail and hard work, our wedding flowed beautifully.
The food was amazing, and so was the atmosphere. Monserate really feels like a fairytale tucked away in California. If you’re even thinking about booking this venue, definitely do it! It’s truly a gem and made our wedding everything we dreamed of and more.Monserate Winery's reply:
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful and thoughtful review! We are so honored that from your very first visit you knew Monserate was the one! We’re thrilled it felt just as magical on your wedding day as you imagined.
We especially appreciate your kind words about Carissa. She is an incredible part of our team, and we’re so happy to hear how her care, organization, and attention to detail helped make your day seamless and stress-free. Knowing your wedding flowed beautifully because of her efforts is the highest compliment.
Thank you for trusting us with such an important milestone and for sharing your experience so generously. Wishing you a lifetime filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments! -

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The venue was absolutely beautiful, and from start to finish, the team went above and beyond to make our day feel like ours.
Jessy J., our day-of coordinator, was incredible. She was calm, confident, always ten steps ahead, and is the kind of person who gets things done, no matter what was needed, and she did it all with a smile and great demeanor.
The staff made everything feel effortless and personal, and we felt supported the entire time. We were blown away by how amazing everything was, and our guests were too! Jessy worked with us to make sure every part of the day flowed perfectly, and we never once felt like we had to sacrifice anything we wanted.
Day-of, anything we needed, Jessy was there...no request was too big and she had a 'just do it' attitude, which gave us a huge sense of security that everything would get done!
Monserate was great. I would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a venue that delivers amazing service, great energy, and genuine care for your big day.Monserate Winery's reply:

From the moment we stepped foot at Monserate Winery, we knew our wedding memories would be unforgettable, and Stephanie played a huge role in making that happen. From day one through the big day, she worked seamlessly with us and our planner to ensure not a single detail was missed.

She truly took the time to get to know us personally, understand our vision, and help bring it to life.

We had our wedding at Monserate in September of 2025 at their new Tuscan Estate venue. We intially had a different venue that closed down and had to find another one about a year and a half out from our wedding. Josh and his staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We worked primarily with Jessy as our coordinator- she was super helpful the day of the wedding and was very kind and helpful throughout the process. The quality of the food, drink and cocktail hors devours was great. The food was fresh, flavorful and hot. The bride and grooms suites were genuinely exquisite, equipped with everything you could need for getting ready. I would 10/10 recommend Monserate for your wedding. It is clear that they really care about their Brides/Grooms and want them to have the best experience possible!Monserate Winery's reply:

Our Wedding on June 1, 2025 was an absolute dream come true! We have first came across Monserate back in August 2023 when they were building the new winery/ venue. We had met Kiki and Josh who are absolutely amazing! At that time they had a display of blue prints on how the venue was going to look after it got built. We definitely trusted the process and signed and booked our wedding two years out!
Everyone at Monserate were truly amazing and they feel like our family!
Our venue coordinator Jessy was truly a GEM, and we feel incredibly lucky to have met her during the final stages of our wedding planning! From the beginning, she took us under her wing, making sure every detail—contracts, add-ons, and logistics—was handled with care and precision.
On our wedding day, Jessy went above and beyond. She was everywhere she needed to be, making sure the small details were perfect—fixing last-minute issues, checking in on us, and ensuring we had everything we needed. She was so thoughtful and kind, even going out of her way to connect our music to the Bluetooth speaker and preparing our Monserrate champagne and glasses for our toast during our getting-ready celebration and photos.
Jessy was incredibly thorough and attentive, and her presence brought us so much peace of mind. We can confidently say our wedding day was smooth, beautiful, and truly a dream come true—thanks in no small part to her.
She even helped with personal touches like adjusting my veil and fluffing my dress, ensuring I looked and felt perfect. Jessy made sure we had our appetizers and signature drinks ready and carved out a few precious moments for us to enjoy alone as newlyweds.
Her communication with our day-of coordinator was seamless. They worked so well together, adjusting the schedule effortlessly and even catching small details—like when my dress wasn’t bustled—that I didn’t notice myself!
Jessy wasn’t just our venue coordinator—she truly felt like our best friend throughout the day. We’re beyond grateful to have had her by our side and now consider her part of our story and family.
We love you, Jessy—thank you for everything! Thank you Monserate Winery, staff, and coordinators for making our wedding a dream come true! We love you all!!! 🥹❤️🌹Monserate Winery's reply:
What a gorgeous and perfect day! From the little details to the big ones, we're so glad we got to experience it all with you! -

From the start of the planning process to the very end, the Monserate team was a dream to work with. Specifically our on-site coordinator, Jessy James. We loveddddd her!!! She went above and beyond for us every step of the way and we’re so grateful to have her. Day of, we were on cloud 9 and were never aware of anything wrong or any hiccups - which there luckily wasn’t any! We did a buffet and the food was UNREAL. We did the salmon and short rib and both were rich with flavor and not dry at all. Our ceremony was next to the tree at the Villa de Fiore venue and it was so beautiful. The staff was so friendly - our guests had such high praises for the venue. Saying it was one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest, they had ever been to. We are so grateful to have had our wedding here!!Monserate Winery's reply:
Taylor, thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you, and your guests, had a wonderful experience with us! -

Brooke Sent on 08/09/2025The BEST Wedding Venue in SoCal !!!
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Monserate Winery family. I first discovered Monserate in August 2023, when a wedding planner posted a sneak peek on Instagram of their Tuscan Estate while it was still under construction. At that point, I had already spent 4 months touring and ranking over 100 venues in the OC/SD area (not kidding) — and nothing felt quite right. Then I picked up the phone, called Monserate, and spoke to Molly. From that first conversation, my expectations were already exceeded. It felt too good to be true… but they had everything I was looking for in a venue and more. Choosing Monserate turned out to be the best decision I could have ever made.
The venue is just one piece of the puzzle when planning a wedding, but it’s arguably the most important. It’s not just about a beautiful backdrop - it’s about trusting a team to bring your vision to life, to treat you and your guests with care, and to support you through every step of the journey. Not only did Molly go above and beyond as our venue coordinator, but she made sure that every detail we dreamed of would come to life. Over our 1.5+ year planning process, she made us feel like the most special couple in the world, and we felt so lucky to have her!!! The Monserate team listened to every request, accommodated our needs, and treated us like family—not just another event on the calendar.
And then there’s the venue itself… breathtaking. The property is expansive, luxurious, and unlike anything else in Southern California. From the moment guests arrive, they’re transported to what feels like an authentic villa in the Italian countryside—complete with stunning architecture, 100 yr old olive trees, thoughtful design touches, and incredible food. The bridal suite is to die for!!! They truly thought of every detail when it came to building this property. Monserate isn’t just a place to get married; it’s an experience your guests will remember forever. My guests are still raving to this day that it was the most beautiful venue they’ve ever been to!! We’re still dreaming of our wedding on 5/17/2025 every day and wish we could relive it over and over again.
From our wine tasting and walkthrough visits, to the last dance of our wedding night, the Monserate team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Molly, Josh, and the entire staff treated us with such respect, care, and joy—it truly felt like they were celebrating with us.
If you’re searching for a wedding venue in Southern California, do yourself a favor and look no further. As a gal with analysis paralysis, trust me when I say I did the due diligence of searching everywhere… Monserate was my saving grace. Every second—and every penny spent—was worth it. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we have the Monserate Winery family to thank for it. 🤍Monserate Winery's reply:

Samantha Sent on 08/08/2025Venue of our Dreams
The moment we stepped on the grounds of Monserate Winery, we were immediately enchanted. It checked every single box of our dream venue. The venue alone is truly stunning and speaks for itself. Every single detail is flawless and they have thought of everything when it comes to weddings. Whether it’s a gorgeous bridal suite, a specific hook to hang your dress, the perfect groom suite, a variety of linens for every design, excellent menu items.. I could go on and on. Our two most complimented aspects from the day were the beauty of the grounds and our food. The dinner was delicious and warm with tons of options when curating your menu. Monserate’s team truly thought of it all and include so many aspects in your contract that you don’t necessarily think of needing when you start wedding planning. Rather than having to seek out tons of additional vendors, the venue offers and includes several items ready for their couples to use or add, which made the process so seamless.
With all that said, what truly sold us and contributed to sell us through out the planning process was our coordinator, Carissa. From day one to the day of our wedding we truly felt so loved and cared for. She made us feel so special and like we were the only wedding being planned at the winery. She was so sweet, attentive, helpful, accommodating, and just overall went above and beyond. If you choose Monserate for your wedding you will not regret your decision and it will be the best day of your life. If you have Carissa as your coordinator, you are truly so lucky and will have the most seamless, loving, and overall incredible best day of your life.Monserate Winery's reply:
Reading these words brings joy to our team! We always want to think through every little detail thoughtfully. We're so glad we were able to host your wedding day! -

My wedding day was pure perfection thanks to the wonderful team at Monserate! The venue itself is gorgeous - that’s obvious! But what stands out most was how seamless the day went. I so loved working with Carissa who is extremely detail oriented. She is one of the sweetest humans and is so easy to work with. She made me feel supported and comfortable throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, I had forgotten to make place cards for my head table and she went and did that for me after we had a 10 second conversation about it. I didn’t even think about it again until I saw them on the table because I knew it would get done. She is amazing! Additionally, all of our guests were RAVING about how delicious the meal was. That was one of my biggest fears - wedding food tends to not be the most tasty meal, but it sure is at Monserate. Our wedding day was perfect and absolutely worth every penny. Thank you to the entire Monserate team, especially beautiful Carissa!Monserate Winery's reply:

Zoey Sent on 06/15/2025As a Florist, I’ve Seen 100+ Venues—This One Stole My Heart
As a florist who has worked on over 100 weddings, I’ve seen a lot of venues, but Monserate Winery completely stole my heart. The very first time I did a wedding here, I remember thinking, “If I ever have a wedding, it has to be here.” And funny enough… that’s exactly what happened!
We weren’t even planning to have a wedding celebration originally, but after working an event at Monserate and seeing how stunning, peaceful, and thoughtfully run everything was, we changed our minds. We fell in love with the space so quickly that we booked it within the same week.
The views are breathtaking, the vineyard, the trees, the sunset light—everything feels like a dream. But what really sealed the deal was the team. The staff were so warm, helpful, and genuinely kind. They made us and our guests feel so well taken care of from start to finish.
And the food? Absolutely amazing. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it, several even told us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had!
As someone who works in weddings for a living, I can confidently say Monserate Winery is a gem. It’s not just a gorgeous venue, it’s a place run by people who truly care. We’re so thankful we found it, and we’ll cherish the memories made there forever. -

Venue searching is such a fun and exciting process but can come with pressure as you hope to choose the right venue that will help create what you envision for your wedding day. I had come across Monserate Winery and kept finding myself going back to their website. While it appeared to be a newer venue, it seemed as if we had come across a hidden gem - which I can now say for certain, could not have been more true!
My husband and I visited approximately 6 venues that weekend that ranged from all different styles, pricing, and offerings. While we saw many venues that were beautiful and came with all the bells and whistles, venue selection became easy after visiting Monserate Winery. You step onto the property and feel as if you have been transported to little Italy. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself and there’s no amount of pictures that can do its beauty justice. While its beauty in itself can sell you on the venue, it had a factor that others didn’t - it had a “homey” feel to it. While the venue itself is breathtaking, the staff there create an atmosphere that no amount of architecture or decor can produce. They’ve created a familial atmosphere that is undeniable and I had yet to find at any other venue I visited. We had the pleasure of working with our venue coordinator, Molly, from our venue visit to our wedding day, which was a perk within itself. With her help, the process was seemless, exciting, and fun with every step. My husband and I visited the venue for lunch a few months after securing our date and not only were we remembered by staff but we were greeted with such warmth, it was as if we were a part of the family.
On the wedding day, every member of the venue staff ensured the day was perfect from start to finish. Molly stopped by multiple times while I was getting ready to ensure there was nothing I needed, my husband and I were served our plates by the chef, and the staff offered to help plate my grandparent's food. I cannot count how many guests raved about the beauty of the venue saying it was the most beautiful venue they have seen and were amazed at the friendly nature of every single staff member on site.
When the wedding day came, my husband and I both laughed as we both expressed we felt sad that we no longer had planned site visits or scheduled meetings with Molly. While we no longer are planning a wedding, we have and will continue to frequent Monserate Winery to enjoy its beauty, and indulge in its delicious food and wines. One of the greatest benefits is being able to enjoy the perks of your venue even after your wedding day. My best advice - make a point to visit Monserate Winery because it will be love at first sight. -

From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was the one. The landscaping is absolutely stunning and picture-perfect in every direction. It gave our outdoor ceremony a magical feel and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how gorgeous everything looked.
Molly was assigned to us as our venue coordinator. From the planning process to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and stress-free. We felt truly taken care of.
The catering was phenomenal — delicious, beautifully presented, and tailored to our tastes. Our guests are still raving about the food! And the bar service was just as impressive, with great drink options and friendly bartenders who helped keep the celebration going all night long.
We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting or a more wonderful team to work with. If you’re looking for a venue that’s as beautiful as it is well-run, this is the one. It was the best decision we made for our wedding day! -

We had an absolutely magical wedding at Monserate Winery in September. After touring what felt like every venue in Southern California and not finding one we could envision for our special day, we almost booked a destination wedding in Tuscany. But then, we discovered a little slice of Italy right here in our own backyard. Monserate Winery has truly elevated the wedding venue game in Southern California.
Their attention to detail is impeccable—from the imported Italian stone and olive trees straight from Italy, to the manicured landscaping and lush grapevines. The picturesque spots are endless. A few standout features, after touring so many venues, were their refined interior design and spacious, luxurious bride and groom suites. The suites were as functional as they were beautiful. The bridal suite had perfect lighting for hair and makeup, plenty of mirrors and chairs for the bridal party, a wash bowl for your hair, and so much more. The groom suite offered a laid-back atmosphere with games like poker and darts, perfect for the groomsmen while the bridal party got ready.
Monserate Winery is home to multiple stunning venues, each with its own character and charm, which made it incredibly hard to choose. We held our rehearsal dinner at Villa de Fiore, and our wedding at the Tuscan Estate. Both venues have been thoughtfully curated with unique ambiance, and we were thrilled we got to experience both.
The entire staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring that our experience was nothing short of unforgettable. From our very first meeting with our wedding coordinator, Carissa, we knew we made the right decision. She made sure we felt at ease, always responsive to our many questions, and offered valuable advice. Carissa guided us through every step, from initial walkthroughs to planning the layout for our decor and details.
We worked with Kim for our rehearsal dinner, and she helped bring our vision to life. On rehearsal day, she took charge of the setup, snapped photos with the family, and stayed late to ensure everything ran smoothly.
With us handling much of the decor setup ourselves (and we had a lot), Josh was a extremely helpful and offered to jump in where needed. We love this venue so much that we’ve returned for several of their events at the winery, and Josh has always been there to provide exceptional service.
It’s clear that this venue is incredibly beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional team working behind the scenes. If you're currently searching for your dream wedding venue, look no further than Monserate Winery! -

Not one thing could of been better
Beautiful, amazing, romantic, caring, organized, personal, and professional.
I could go on and on for days about this venue and the amazing experience we had. First we fell in love with the grounds. The pond, the waterfall, the amazing view from the ceremony location. Everything is beyond perfect. That was just the start of my amazement.
From the very first meeting we felt heard, understand, and cared for. We weren't just a customer or a job that needed to be handled. This is what they do, and they do it very well! They want this day to be everything your bride has ever dreamed it could be!!! We were walked through every detail, every moment, everything was explained in fine detail. Organized!!! I was shocked at how well they handled every single detail. We had no idea what we were doing and that was okay because they held our hands through everything. Like a well oiled machine. The night went off without a hitch.
To start of the experience we had lists of everything we needed to do. All vendors that needed to be contacted, not one stone left unturned. Seriously some of the best customer service you can imagine! Then came the fun stuff tasting wines and great food. You will not be disappointed in this venue or any of the amenities they offer.
Now let's get down to what impressed me the most. The team of people who work this venue. THEY ARE AMAZING! Jessy James!!!! You are the face of monserate winery and you will remain that in all of our memories! We loved working with you! I can not say enough about this wonderful woman. She is so calm, confident, organized and on the ball. She had all of my confidence that the evening would be fabulous but to watch her in action is something else. I was directed, by Jessy, in the middle of pure chaos to do everything that was needed of me and she watched out for every detail. She made sure I was eating, getting dressed in time for a photos, not drinking to much before the ceremony, keeping me on time for everything and away from my wandering wife to be for her photos. So unbelievably organized with her time. Between Jessy and the wedding coordinator we hired everything was perfection! The amount of personal dedication to our night was truly mind blowing. The memories, location, personal service was worth every penny spent. You will not be disappointed!! Ask for Jessy James by name when thinking about booking this venue.
Thank you again for the most memorable night of our lives.

Fabulous wedding
Monserate Winery was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the serene beauty of Fallbrook, California, this venue offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication.
Firstly, let's talk about the wine—absolutely divine! Monserate Winery boasts an impressive selection that delighted our guests throughout the evening. From crisp whites to bold reds, every sip was a testament to the vineyard's dedication to quality.
The heart of our wedding planning journey was undoubtedly Kiki and Josh, the incredible coordinators at Monserate. Their expertise and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our special day was flawless. I highly recommend future couples to seek their invaluable assistance—they truly went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality.
The Ville de Fiore venue at Monserate Winery stole our hearts with its breathtaking backdrop.

I was lucky enough to come across this venue last year while hunting for the perfect Tuscan style space in California. It was always my dream to have a destination wedding, but unfortunately was not able to. But man did Monserate really make us feel like we were in a different country! From the beauty of the space to the kindness of the staff, to the high quality of food and rentals they offered, everything here was better than I could have ever imagined. And all for such a reasonable price, given how expensive the wedding industry has become.Monserate Winery's reply:
That makes us so happy!! We are so honored you selected Monserate Winery to host your wedding and we're so glad we got to be a part of your special day. We hope to see you soon!! :) -

Most beautiful venue
Monserate Winery exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day truly magical. The staff at this venue are nothing short of amazing. They were friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure every detail was perfect. Now about the venue. Why go all the way to Italy to get married when you can get married in Fallbrook?! The Italian-inspired venue was SO beautiful, elegant, and so very romantic. We as a couple, every guest, and every vendor commented on how beautiful it was. My makeup/hair lady who came all the way from LA even commented that the bridal suite was the most beautiful place she’s ever done makeup at. The bridal suite was the most elegant, beautiful, and lovely place I have ever gotten ready at with great lighting, AC, and they even have a hair washing station!! It was also so spacious which gave us enough room for all of us to be comfortable. Now the waterfall ceremony site. It was the most perfect backdrop and space for our vows, and created a magical atmosphere that our guests still talk about. The pictures are absolutely stunning!! Last but not least, the gorgeous barrel room for the reception provided an intimate setting for our celebration. It was so classy and elegant and we couldn’t ask for anything more beautiful. The ambiance, the wine, and the food – everything was top-notch. Monserate Winery gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we couldn’t be happier.Monserate Winery's reply:
Hi Molly! We truly appreciate all of your sweet words! We were so happy to have your wedding as the first wedding ever at our brand new Tuscan Estate venue! We are so glad your special day was everything you hoped for. These photos you added are so beautiful! We look forward to seeing you around the winery soon! -

Nick Sent on 08/21/2023Monserate Winery was an amazing Venue
Monserate was a beautiful wedding venue and winery. It has a perfect outdoor ceremony space under trees and cocktail/reception space around the pond. The trees and pond provided a perfect backdrop for the ceremony and shade for guests. The turf lawn and cement floor under the awning created a lovely reception space for dinner and dancing.
Wine and bar service from Monserate was great. All of the white and red wines we chose were delicious as well as the full bar service offered by Monserate. Kiki and the rest of the Monserate staff were extremely helpful throughout the planning process and day of the wedding. Many of the tables and chairs for ceremony and reception are included from Monserate, reducing the number of items needing to be rented from caterers or other vendors. They were also very flexible with any last minute changes. We would highly recommend Monserate to anyone looking for a winery wedding venue!

Amazing Wedding Venue
Monserate winery was an amazing wedding venue. It has so much space for people to spread out. The ceremony sites are breathtakingly beautiful. Each ceremony site has large trees that provide so much shade for the guest, so if you're getting married in the summer like I did, it wasn't too hot. The ponds are such a gorgeous backdrop for photos. The day went so smoothly. Working with Annie, the venue coordinator, was really fun too. She helped us organize every little detail about the day so that we were prepared. Everyone at my wedding kept telling me how much they loved the venue :)Monserate Winery's reply:
Hi Kim!
We could not be happier to hear you had such a wonderful experience at Monserate Winery. Happy brides like yourself are the reason we do what we do! Thank you for the kind words! -

I attended a wedding as a guest and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The ceremony took place beside a beautiful vineyard and underneath several old sycamore trees. The reception was underneath the pergolas with the pond, trees, and sunset as the backdrop. The food was delicious and the wine was even better!Monserate Winery's reply:

A hidden gem...for now! :)
Monserate is the dream venue! We had our wedding here in May 2022 and it was more perfect and beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the beginning, Annie was always so helpful, informative and available to answer any and all of our questions. She, and all of the Monserate staff, went above and beyond to help our vision for our big day come to life. The majority of comments we got from guests were about how gorgeous the venue was and how awesome their staff was. Monserate may be a Fallbrook hidden gem right now, but I know it will be an extremely sought after venue in the very near future. If you're on the fence, just stop by for a glass of wine to check it out, or get a tour from Annie, and you'll be sold...it's the best! :)Monserate Winery's reply:
Hi Lindsay,
Thank you so much for the sweet review! We absolutely loved being a part of your special day and wish you all the best in your marriage! -

Our dream location! Annie is the best :)
We visited Monserate when it was dirt, trees and vines. There were no buildings, the wine wasn't ready and landscaping for the venue had just begun. However, the energy of the property, it's natural beauty and the family's story compelled us to book on faith.
We wanted a vineyard with water and the option of a full bar.
Very few venues in the Temecula/Fallbrook area offer all of that. Most of the wineries don't have a liquor license or a natural water feature. Monserate ended up being a perfect fit for us.
I could not have been happier with my Monserate experience from start to finish! Annie and her team were an absolute delight. Our ceremony was in their standard site, but we wanted our guests to experience all of the property so we planned our cocktails to be across the pond amidst the vines and our reception on another side next to the pond. The celebration was immersive and our guests haven't stopped raving about how beautiful and magical Monserate is.
The day of our wedding Annie ran a tight ship! She was lovely with all of our family/guests, made sure things ran on time. She even made sure my husband's favorite whiskey was on hand :) It's the little, personal touches that make this venure and the team so special. The experience is personal, not corporate. Your wedding experience truly matters to Annie.
Communication between Annie, myself and my designer (Oak and the Owl) was excellent as well. I can honestly say that if there were hiccups on the day I didn't notice.
Bonus - their wine is delicious too!! No compromises with Monserate Winery.
Thank you to Annie and the entire family/team!

Monserate Winery is a truly a hidden gem! We are now 2 weeks post wedding and can't stop reliving our wedding day at Monserate. We worked closely with Meilee during our planning process and day of coordination. Our guests all RAVED about the food, service, and kindness from the staff during and after the wedding! My husband and I truly knew we found the venue during our first visit and so happy we had our wedding here! We booked Villa de Fiore for our venue and it truly was just so magical. There is honestly no service that can top what we experienced here. I highly recommend having your wedding here and trusting the staff to execute whatever you need them too.Monserate Winery's reply:
