Charming small boutique winery with excellent wine. A hidden gem 30 minutes from Temecula away from the tourist Mecca at the very end of the wine trail. Worth the drive and the view. Bring your own snacks or lunch and enjoy the view. Always a great mix of locals and visitors to chat with or enjoy a game of corn hole with your kids on the patio looking over the vineyard and mountains.

Hawk Watch Winery is nestled in the Southern California mountains. Pair the scenic background with some of the most incredible wines and it's nothing short of bliss. Dave and Lisa are very personable making you feel at home. I highly recommend checking them out. Did I mention the great wine they have...?lol

We stopped by Hawk Watch on the recommendation from one of our servers at a winery in Julian. We were on our way to Temecula and brought a picnic lunch to enjoy while we were there.
Hawk Watch is a small family winery that sits up on a hill with great views all around. I don't remember the name of the gal that greeted us but she was welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. We enjoyed our tasting experience and for our taste the wines got better as we made our way down the list to the more robust wines. We selected a couple bottles of red and went outside to eat lunch and take in the views. We were there for probably an hour and a half and only saw one other couple who happened to be wine club members. We got to keep our tasting glass and it is actually a very nice glass. Great experience.

Nice small winery with a view of the area. You are very likely to see hawks flying around the area--thus the name.

We have been members of The Hawk Watch wine club for at least four years. It is one of our favorite outings every quarter when we drive to their location and pick up our wine. We pack a picnic lunch, enjoy our tastings, buy a bottle of our favorite tasting, and enjoy our picnic with a bottle of wine on their property. Hawkwatch property provides an opportunity for very heartdelt conversations and inspirational views. I strongly encourage you to experience this wonderful Winery and its location.

Took a nice picnic lunch there yesterday. Great wines, tasty reds, and awesome sunsets. We go there a few times a year for a more intimate getaway. They never fail to please.
