Hilltop Estate on The Trail
Leoness Cellars was founded in 2003 by Mike Rennie and Gary Winder along the De Portola Wine Trail. The estate has built its name on estate-grown wines and a polished, service-led tasting experience.
The tasting room sits on a hilltop overlooking the Rolling Hills vineyard, with patios and a restaurant taking in the view. Set back from the busier Rancho California corridor, it has a more secluded feel.
What you'll taste
Guided tour-and-taste options led by the winery's sommeliers showcase the estate wines, with on-site dining available; reservations are recommended.
Worth knowing: A perennial favorite on Temecula's De Portola Wine Trail, known for its hilltop estate views.
