I have been a member at Ponte for many years and we held out our wedding in the garden in 2006. The restaurant at Ponta never disappoints. The bread served before the meal with vinaigrette scallion dip is outstanding.

About the restaurant

At Oak Mountain Winery, tucked away from the De Portola Wine Trails, is where you'll find the 36522 Distillery. The undiscovered jewel of Temecula, California, is our Distillery. You can either celebrate a milestone or escape from everyday life here, but either way, you'll get a refined, traditional experience.

To create the finest spirits, our mixologists look for outstanding ingredients, combine traditional methods, and handcraft everything from scratch.

Whiskey, Rum, Bourbon, Agave, and Gin are among the featured selections.

Reservations are advised as we soon fill up with other cocktail enthusiasts. No pets are allowed; this is a bar for adults 21 and older.

My only issue with this place is the exorbitant price of the mixed drinks. Paying $22-26 for one single mixed drink is sheer insanity. The drinks were good, but no better than any other place for the price to be at least $10/more per drink. Other than that, the food was good, service was good (although a bit slow), and the hostess was phenomenal (Maddie).

The Bouquet Restaurant @ Ponte Inn: Sunday Brunch has great food. The Eggs Benedict was delicious! Great food at good price. Lovely atmosphere. Really appreciated our waiter, Chris! His service was attentive and genial and not intrusive. Thank you, Ponte, for providing a wonderful place for my son, his girlfriend, and I to share wonderful conversation and great food!
