Thornton Winery

Thornton Winery is a distinctive event venue in Temecula Valley Wine Country, combining vineyard scenery, elegant hospitality and a strong programme of live entertainment. The property welcomes organisers planning weddings, corporate functions, private celebrations, fundraising events and other memorable gatherings in a relaxed yet refined setting.

Event spaces include the Vineyard View Room, Champagne Lounge, Production Area and Fountain Terrace, giving planners a choice of indoor and outdoor environments for ceremonies, receptions, dinners, parties and business occasions. The grounds and French-inspired winery architecture create an attractive backdrop for photographs, drinks receptions and evening events, while the terrace and outdoor areas add an appealing open-air option.

Thornton Winery’s event team supports organisers throughout the planning process, with assistance covering site coordination, menu planning, catering, beverage service, wine and food pairings and referrals to suitable event professionals. This makes the venue suitable for occasions where food, wine and atmosphere are central to the guest experience.

The winery also hosts a regular programme of live music, including its established Champagne Jazz Series, tribute performances, local artists and special music events. These experiences demonstrate the venue’s capability for dinner concerts and entertainment-led gatherings, while Café Champagne provides an on-site dining option for visitors and event guests.

With its vineyard location, dedicated event staff, flexible spaces, wine-led hospitality and experience with weddings and private functions, Thornton Winery offers organisers a versatile venue for celebrations and corporate occasions in Southern California.
