A Quick Note About Briar Rose Winery


Briar Rose Winery marks a return to idyllic times as Temecula’s first, reservation-only, boutique winery. It is the fruition of a lifelong dream. In a sense, we have come full circle and we want to celebrate this return to a small, family-owned business. We welcome you to enjoy our wines, wander the gardens and savor the enchantment.

There is nothing quite like Briar Rose Winery. Nestled in the gentle rolling foothills of the Temecula Valley, the premium vineyards produce the most outstanding estate-bottled wines. A stroll around the quaint, European cottage-style, estate quickly reveals the relaxed and peaceful attitude that goes into each bottle of wine produced by Briar Rose. We are dedicated to producing small lot, limited production wines made from the most intensely flavored grapes from our lush vineyards. Annually, we produce about 2400 cases.

Specializing in reds, the estate-grown offerings include an intense Gold Medal Award Winning Estate Zinfandel, Zinfandel Port, Viognier, Orange Muscat and Riesling. Other offerings include a lively, fruity Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sherry, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and a Special Reserve Alitaco Port.

We are proud members of the Temecula Wine Growers Association and the California Wine Institute.
