We spent an amazing afternoon with friends at Oak Mountain Winery and their Distillery right on the same grounds along the De... Portola Wine Trail. We had been to Oak Mountain for the awesome cave tour a few years ago before we moved to Temecula, and wereexcited to visit again as resident Temeculans! We sat outside on the beautiful pavilion and enjoyed the sweeping views, tastingsand then bottles of several reds and a Sauv Blanc. We also couldn't resist orders of the chimichuri steak fries which wereINCREDIBLE! After finishing up at the winery when they closed at 5, we took a short walk over to the 36522 Distillery...whichended up being worth a visit by itself! It's fairly new, having just opened in April 2022, and is located just steps away fromthe tasting pavilion. It's located in what was the original tasting room of Oak Mountain Winery built in 2005. They totallynailed the ambiance -it truly is everything you expect in a speakeasy. Comfy seating, perfect lighting, ability to order food,super friendly and knowledgeable staff, and of course, amazing handcrafted cocktails made with their own distilled spirits, noless! How cool is that? We ordered French 75s and some smoked old-fashioneds (smoked and finished off at our table), and theywere all excellent. Side note: Cave Café also has a great seniors (speeders) and brunch menu! And to make things even better,it was a Thursday - when wine club members get 15% off cocktails, food & spirits in the distillery from 2-8pm! No reservationsare necessary which is a huge plus to me. As a side note, we waited several weeks to get reservations with friends to go toApparition Room (the speakeasy in Devilicious in Old Town) and it was a total disappointment (see that review). In my opinion,36522 Distillery is the speakeasy to go to in Temecula! Oak Mountain is a fun and truly unique place with delicious wines, foodand spirits! Read more

Beautiful space, great view & wine. The staff is attentive with generous pours. The food menu is limited to appetizers meant... for two to share but very nicely prepared & presented albeit on the more expensive side for their portions but well worthordering to pair with the wine selection.

Love Oak Mountain! The place is beautiful and the food is great! We loved the sparkling wine. I can't remember the name though.... "The Cave" is an actual cave in the side of a mountain! Very Cool! Our server was Ray and he was excellent! Can't wait to goagain! ???????? Read more

Just tried the new distillery that opened this weekend it's called 36522 The distillery. It is a more intimate experience as... the max occupancy in the building is 49 people. You do need reservations and they will not take walk ins. We tried somedelicious appetizers and their new cocktails (cocktails were strong). The margarita tasted like fresh lime, the bees knees wassweet like honey, the strawberry daiquiri was a bit sour, the new york sour was sweet and tasty, the revolver had a dark coffeeflavor, and the smoked old fashion was probably one of my favorites you could really taste the smoky flavor.

Came here for the wine tasting tour with my sis on my birthday. Our tour guide Noah was everything I expected and then some!... Super knowledgeable, patient, funny, and cute. He definitely played a major part in the overall experience! That being said,the winery itself is SUPER cute and filled with personality. And turns out there is an interesting past of how it came tobe...the tour is very worth it for the story/history alone. The cave tour is not much walking so comfy heels are possiblefyi. Also filled with many great photo opportunities! They have cool indoor dining nooks and are known for good food (will bedining on our next visit for sure!). Perfect place for a romantic date or friends day out???? Read more

A very delightful winery and the first alleged wine cave, since I thought my wine cave was the first. A 104 ft subterranean wine... cave where you can wine taste and eat. But definitely a must-experience- stop in #Temecula wine region.. just don’t get in theway of servers when inside the cave.. most staff is very friendly and accommodating.. Read more

We came via BEST COAST tours. The tour included a flight of wines, a charcuterie board and a mini tour of the cave. The tour... guide was super nice and informative. The winery was picturesque and pleasant. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cave,however, was legit cool. They host weddings, bridal parties and have memberships. Read more
