Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This exquisite winery sites on 63 hilltop acres that offer breathtaking views of Temecula's surrounding vineyards and the Palomar Mountains to the east. A true resort, it's ideal for weekend-long destination weddings. Plush lodgings include traditional hotel-style suites and the luxe, standalone Villas, with access to a fabulous spa and on-site restaurants perfect for a rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch.
  • Evoking the romance of the Tuscan countryside, al fresco weddings are truly spectacular here... and you'll be spoiled for choice with venues. Ceremonies are lovely in the Rose Arbor—the namesake arbor is completely covered by climbing roses, and it boasts panoramic views. Or, opt for the Vintner's Garden, where you'll find an oversized gazebo and private lawn, or the lovely sunken Courtyard—both are large enough to accommodate both your ceremony and reception.
  • Enjoy cocktails and mingling on the Back Veranda, a covered terrace that overlooks the Courtyard and affords a bird's-eye view of the landscape, or the atmospheric Barrel Room, where stacked casks create a cool vintage vibe. Then, dine and dance until the wee hours in the Grand Ballroom, which features a soaring, open-beamed ceiling and French doors that swing out to reveal a bougainvillea-draped patio.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

South Coast Winery Resort & Spa in Temecula offers all-inclusive wedding packages, Simply Lovely and Luxury Uncorked, that bundle most of your day into one per-guest price. They include your ceremony with a guest shuttle, a reception of 5–5.5 hours, a two-night villa stay, appetizers, a two-course dinner with wine service, a couple's tasting, a champagne toast, a coffee and tea station, cake service, staff, tables, linens and a dance floor. Bar packages cost extra, from $25 per person for a one-hour wine and beer bar to $89 per person for a five-hour premium bar, while Luxury Uncorked includes a three-hour premium bar. Plan for a 24% service charge on top, and ask the wedding team which package fits your guest count.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa hosts both, so your whole day stays on one property. Ceremony spots include the Rose Arbor, covered in climbing roses; the Vintner's Garden, with an oversized gazebo and private lawn; and the sunken Courtyard, which is big enough for your ceremony and reception together. For the reception, there's the Grand Ballroom, with French doors onto a bougainvillea-draped patio, or the cellar-style Barrel Room, and the covered Back Veranda works well for cocktails. Packages include a guest shuttle for the ceremony.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to South Coast Winery Resort & Spa or do we have to use yours?

South Coast Winery Resort & Spa handles catering and bar service in-house, so your food and drinks come from the resort's own team. The exception is cultural cuisine: if you're planning a South Asian wedding, the resort can welcome approved outside caterers. Bar packages run $25–$89 per person, depending on length and level. Liability insurance is required, so ask the wedding team early what coverage they need to see.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, and is there a minimum?

Weddings at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa in Temecula start with a $5,000 venue rental, and peak-season packages run $129–169 per guest for a plated dinner or $137–179 per guest for a buffet. There's a food and beverage minimum starting at $18,000, plus a 24% service charge. A few things move your number: the time of year and availability, the type of event, the accommodations you choose, your group size and the package inclusions you pick. Bar packages add $25–$89 per person, unless you choose Luxury Uncorked, which includes a three-hour premium bar. Start with your guest count and season, then request a proposal from the wedding team.

How long do we get at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, and when does the music have to stop?

South Coast Winery Resort & Spa's wedding packages include a reception of 5–5.5 hours, and events can be booked any day of the year between 6am and midnight. Amplified music is allowed indoors and outdoors, with some restrictions, so ask the wedding team how those apply to the ceremony and reception spaces you choose.
