“We came here to check out Leoness for our wedding venue and ended staying for lunch.....and WOW! So glad we did! The food was amazing! Highly recommend the lamb and the chicken!! Amanda P. gave us great service as well! And oh yeah....we ended up hiring Leoness for our wedding! I have to give a VERY special shoutout to an extraordinary person at Leoness....Melody Miller! When we first went to tour the vineyard for our wedding venue we were greeted by Melody and Deanna. Mind you this was our 3rd tour of the day and I had my fill of wedding coordinators trying to pitch us and convince us their vineyard was where we should have our wedding. Melody was different from the start! (And I'll say this....Leoness Cellars sells itself! Stunning property!) She really had a feel for me (my partner was unfortunately home with covid so I was facetiming him during the tour), our wants and needs. When she said "I want you guys to have the wedding of your dreams!" I really believed her.....more so than anyone else I met that day or during any other venue tour. After the tour we sat and went over the pricing, and never once did I feel any pressure from her. A few days later Melody informed me that she was leaving Leoness for personal family business and I have to say that it REALLY bummed me out. BUT she gave me her information and let me know that if there was anything she could do to help us to make our dream wedding come true she would do her best....again.....I TOTALLY BELIEVED HER! I kept in touch with her even though Deanna was our contact person from that point on. Deanna left a VERY bad taste in my mouth and lacks the connection and sincerity to be a good wedding coordinator. So much so that she completely ghosted us the day we were ready to sign the contract and pay the deposit! I reached out to Melody and she informed me that Deanna quit!!! SERIOUSLY?!?! I had no idea who to talk to at that point because we didn't want to lose the date for our wedding! Like a superhero swooping in to save the day, Melody told me not to worry and that she knew who was taking over and would make the call for us to ensure we would have the wedding of our dreams! (Are you seeing the theme here?!?) Melody bent over backwards for us to make things happen even though she was not longer working at Leoness Cellars! SHE LITERALLY SAVED OUR WEDDING! That is how much she genuinely cares about her clients!! She put us in contact with Ryan, who is picking up the mess that Deanna left and I have to say that so far he is doing a remarkable job! We canNOT wait to have our wedding there! To the Owner(s), CEO, COO and/or whoever else is in charge at Leoness Cellars: BRING MELODY MILLER BACK!!!! SHE IS AN ASSET TO YOUR BUSINESS!!!“
“Very nice winery in temecula. Good food and for this area decent wines. I am not a big Temecula wine area fan. More of a Pinot Noir person and Temecula is not the area where Pinots grow well. For an afternoon lunch in this area I would say Leoness is one of the best choices.“
“I have not had any hot Chai in a long time as most places disappoint, however, the French Skillet makes a delightfully comforting cup of hot Chai that has a nice balance of spice and sweetness. As for the chicken fried steak, don't expect the norm. Their chicken fried steak is served on a donut. Sounds strange but the sweet and salty flavors are great, topped with gravy that has so much flavor, not just glop. I bought a pain au Chocolat for my daughter and she approves. Worth coming back for more.“
“Love love love the food. Authentic French. Quick service. Very small seating area outside and none inside so if it's cold out you don't really have an option.Correction: we didn't know about the dine in area next door. Next time we will stay and not take out ? Thank you“
