  The grounds are beautiful and spacious. I believe it’s one of the newest wineries in the area! We enjoyed the live music, wine tasting, pizza, and gelato. It does get busy on weekends, but the multiple levels offer different experiences, which is a nice touch. We even bought a few bottles after tasting some great wines. I’d love to come back on a weekday when it’s a bit less crowded!

  **My review is solely based on the brunch experience** We love the Bolero restaurant and so we decided to try it for breakfast. On the weekends it's their Brunch only. I do wish we would have walked around first to make a decision but we stayed. There wasn't anything truly breakfast related other than an omelette station which was mediocre at best. Everything else was seafood or prime rib. Unfortunately we were hoping for more breakfast items so that was a bit disappointing. While the food was good, eating seafood at 10am in the morning wasn't what we were hoping for and it is very expensive if you aren't wanting that type of food. So if you're hoping for a good mix of typical breakfast items and lunch type items, this is not the place.

  🌿 Europa Village — A Dream Destination Brought to Life Our wedding at Europa Village was nothing short of extraordinary — an experience that transcended the expectations of a typical California winery wedding. Split between Vienza and parts of Bolero, this venue is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design. From the moment you arrive, you can see the care and artistry that went into every stone, archway, and courtyard. The founders and their team clearly prioritized quality, authenticity, and architectural harmony. The seamless transition between the Spanish warmth of Bolero and the Italian romance of Vienza is a sensory journey in itself — it truly feels as though you’ve stepped from Temecula straight into Europe. 🍽 Culinary Excellence Beyond Compare And the food — oh, the food! Chef Hany and his team are, without exaggeration, culinary visionaries. Each of our events — the welcome party, cocktail hour, wedding reception, and farewell brunch — offered a distinct, unforgettable dining experience. Our welcome party was the perfect balance of elegant and lively, with interactive food stations and thoughtful bites that set the tone for an incredible weekend. The cocktail hour dazzled guests with luxurious touches — caviar, Italian classics, an artful charcuterie station, and inventive hors d’oeuvres that felt like a preview to something extraordinary. For our wedding dinner, we told Chef Hany that our goal was to create a meal that felt like family — a nod to my husband’s Italian roots, but with a twist that our guests would never forget. What he delivered was a six-course culinary journey that could rival any Michelin-starred experience. The pasta wheel service — prepared tableside by the executive chef himself — remains one of the most talked-about highlights of our wedding weekend. Finally, our farewell brunch paid tribute to my Hispanic and Spanish heritage, featuring handmade tortillas and the crown jewel — homemade menudo. Every dish was not only delicious but deeply personal, making the entire weekend a reflection of us as a couple. 🌟 Service on Par with a Five-Star Resort Europa Village’s customer service truly sets them apart. The level of attentiveness and professionalism mirrored that of a St. Regis resort. Throughout the weekend, their staff anticipated every need, often solving issues before they even reached us. Every guest — not just the bride and groom — felt cared for. Our family and friends still comment on how friendly, accommodating, and genuinely passionate the Europa team was. 💐 A Team That Made Magic Possible We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Heather El Guindy and her exceptional events team, who worked seamlessly alongside our event designer, Michelle Garibay. Ours was a large-scale, three-day celebration with countless moving parts, and it simply could not have been executed without their expertise, grace, and coordination. And, of course, a special shoutout to Max Lotorto, the mixology maestro behind our signature cocktails. As someone from the beverage industry, my husband had a clear vision for the bar program — and Max brought it to life flawlessly. Not only were the cocktails exquisite, but Max personally ensured we always had fresh drinks (and plenty of water!) throughout the evening. Europa Village will forever hold a special place in our hearts. It’s not just a venue — it’s a world-class destination that brings people together through architecture, flavor, and heartfelt hospitality.

  We have been to and enjoyed Europa Village many times and have loved every minute of it. Until I got engaged and tried working with their wedding services. To begin , when you contact them for use of the venue the staff that answers the phone is unable to give you any kind of information . So we waited a week, and called to check in. Waited another week, checked our emails , called and a month later my mom decided to help out and try to call, they said they would be contacting me that day and said they apologize. So I waited, heard nothing back. We were so patient, even though as the weeks went by we became less and less confident that my actual wedding day would go smoothly in the slightest . So unprofessional. We will be looking elsewhere and enjoying other wineries in the area from now on. This has been my personal dream location, but for future brides I would suggest avoiding this venue , you will not be hearing from their coordinators. This review was also posted on the knot, we went 4 weeks with 0 contact from Europa village to even tell us basic venue questions but it took less than 48 hours for them to open a dispute with the knot to have the negative review removed. All we wanted was for someone to reach out to us or give us any information during the 4 times that we had tried to contact their wedding crew

  After paying $34 for a flight of reds I expected to sample 5 different wines. BTW each sample was no more than 1/3 oz. each. When I presented to sample the 5th wine I was told that because I had not paid for the premium flight, which was $10 extra, the final glass would have to be a white. Or, I could have one of the wines I had already sampled. Hence my 5th 1/3 oz. glass was one of the same reds I previously had. My server was rude. I do not appreciate being talked down to.
