Located in Southern California, Temecula wine country Fazeli Cellars is a delightful experience. Interesting architecture and very beautiful sceanery. Temecula wineries reminds me of Napa 30 years ago. Authentic wine making and not completely commercialized. The wines are very good and the food too. The cheese plate was especially nice.

This was our first wine tasting experience in Temecula and I loved every aspect of Fazeli's! Perfect view of the vineyards from the outdoor dining area. Wine tasting at the bar was a great experience! Our bartender was very knowledgeable and sweet! We ended up with a bottle of Norooz ( so good!) but loved so many of them.... So aside from the delicious wine options, the food is SO good!! The kabobs were flavorful and juicy! And the flatbread was exceptional! Highly recommend! Great ambience, beautiful views, and delicious treats.

Service wasnt the greatest. Really nice place, gorgeous views of the grape fields. Only thing they had to eat was a prime rib sandwich. The food was great. A lil pricey 80.00 dollars for 4 sandwiches, not including wine. Theres so many other wineries you can go to, this def isnt on my top ten list.

Excellent service, efficient and amazing food!
Dont be intimidated by the grand staircases, they are truly the beginning of something magical.
Norooz ( my personal favorite) is a particular wine that is easy to pair with any food item. Enjoy the views
