The resort is nice and the restaurant is decent. Both are very overpriced but we splurged for our anniversary. After returning home we noticed they charged our credit card for $71 in food and beverages that we did not purchase. I tried to resolve the error 3 times with the accounting manager (Dawn) and reservation manager and never received a call ...

Top Notch Resort
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/18/08
South Coast Winery Resort and Spa should be top on your list if visiting the wineries in Temecula. The rooms are very spacious and decorated elegantly in Tuscan style. The room looked out into the vineyard and the villas are separated into pods of four. Each day a new wine is delivered to your room, and the merlot and chardonnay we were given ...

Disappointing and unresponsive
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/08
Everything about our stay was sketchy. From the check-in, to the response of the spa staff, to the fact that housekeeping never cleaned our room and left us with no towels, to the fact that after emailing the general manager we never got a response from him. Not one word. Amazing how poorly a beautiful place can be run. If someone took the time to write to me in the spirit of improvements, I would certainly take notice.

SURPRISE! It'll cost more than you bargained for!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/06/08
My sister and I reserved a villa for our dad to take our step-mother to for a surprise 60th birthday getaway. We booked the room on-line directly from their website.
When my dad arrived to check in, the nice girl at the front desk said that the cost of the room was going to be approximately $30 more than what we had reserved it for. She stated ...

Fabulous
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/22/07
Visited for 1 night on 9/7/07. The villa was the best we've stayed in! Very clean and well-kept. Decorated in Tuscan style. Not a typical hotel room - large square with dining area and wetbar as you walk in with complimentary wine - also large closet; sitting area with sofa, chair, tables, fireplace with mantle and mirror; to the side is a ...

NEVER AGAIN!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/26/07
This resort is beautiful, it is just a shame who horribly it is ran. I mean you would think for the money that you are paying you would at least get propper treatment. The room, spa, and resturaunt was great. The only thing is, the manager's like to argue with the guests. I think that is completely out of line. I was checking in with a young ...

Great gounds, pool and rooms. Service needs help
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/08/07
We just returned from a trip to South Coast and had a very nice stay. The winery grounds and hotel are beautiful and well maintained. The rooms are large and well appointed. However when you book be sure to ask where the patio overlooks, each villa has a different view of the "vineyard", ours was a view of the parking area. Still very ...

Our Last Stay... Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/01/07
My wife and I stayed a fourth time at SCW on Feb 24 2007 for my wife's birthday (for wine tasting!). We were only able to afford the stay because I was fortunate enough to find a Saturday rate of $139/night (regularly $289). At $139, the accomodations are an excellent value. In fact, the accommodations are terrific, and with the exception of ...
A winery with a resort. The villa was wonderful. The food was great. Very peaceful. All the comforts of home. The wine tasting room was beautiful. Everyone was so nice. Loved the experience.
This is a newer winery. They need to take better care of their wine members. They charge for tasting, and members usually do not get any special privileges save for some limited discounts.
The wine quality is average. Some varieties are better than others. They are improving each season. The prices for the wines are reasonable.
