We believe that authenticity is the most important feature of any product. For that very reason, we are the only certified producers of organic grapes in all of Temecula Valley.
A lot of factors contribute to high quality wine. The hard work involved in the process from start to finish is important, but it all starts with the weather.

A little known fact is that harsh weather and droughts can be excellent for the quality of wine in the hands of the right crafter.

This is the place to go if you like red wine as the winery has exclusively red wine! My boyfriend and I enjoyed this winery as we are both more red wine drinkers. The wine tends to lean towards sweeter reds. It is a no frills winery, the tasting room is in a barn, and everything is organically grown. The owner of the winery will talk as much or as little as you want too. If you want good sweet wine at an affordable price this is the place to go! If you want to know about a wine, just ask!!!!

Five star experience. If you are a pretentious hipster Instagram influencer type, then no need for you to stop by this place. You would probably give it a "1 star" review that would distract or discourage folks from visiting this gem of a place.
If however, you are like me and love red wine and appreciate an expert winemaker who does not bullsh*t or kiss your as* to join a wine club then this is the place for you. GREAT wines but don't expect to get much conversation or detail about what the wines are like. I've been to around 50 different wineries over the years and this

Wish I could give this place zero stars. The old man behind the counter was rude and unwelcoming. Was not helpful at ALL, seemed like he was annoyed we showed up and didn't help us with anything.
Even with his rude attitude, decided to still try and taste. We picked one wine (wasn't good) then politely asked him what he recommend we try. "Pick whatever you think you'd like" was his answer. Like really? lol wow. So what are you here for then?
The only good thing is he didn't charge us for the two very small wine tasting he did manage to provide. Only reason we came

I felt like I was sitting down with an old friend! Deane, the owner, was friendly & served me wines according to my preferred taste, and I enjoyed my tasting! Don't judge a book by its cover. This is the winery that needs continued customers. This is the ma & pa type of place that makes Temecula wineries worth exploring and spending time at.

Unpretentious, unassuming, and excellent wine. We loved the unfiltered, unique wines. Deane the owner does all of the pours and drinks with you. In the Temecula valley there are many bloated, commercial, over stylized wineries. This place is not that. It's literally in an old Barn and it's 100% no frills but the wine is top quality. It's complex and excellent. Check it out. Don't let negative reviews sway you.

We stumbled upon this winery and weren't sure what to expect. My husband was skeptical but it was nice and quaint less busy than the other winery we had just passed by. Owner was friendly and helpful. Tasting was in his barn and it wasn't fancy but fun and company from another local couple was enjoyable. We have never tasted such amazing wine!! We joined the club and will visit again.

Let me start by saying THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. For those who criticized this winery shame on you. When you judge a book by its cover you won't find any appreciation to ones hard work nor great tasting wine. Don't expect to see limo's here or party events or special prepared meals BUT what you will get is Mr. Deane Foote himself serving you a very limited selection of red wines. 2nd, don't expect great conversation with Mr. Foot as he is direct and straight to the point with EVERTHING he says, some of you labeled him as a grouchy old man, NOPE not at all, this man is EXACTLY

So the wife and I stumbled upon this place while looking for places off the beaten path, and while the place looked more like a residence with a barn, we found it nice and quaint. So we went for the tasting and let me tell you, the wine did not disappoint. I consider myself very picky when it comes to wine, and have even tasted some from bigger wineries that were not quite to my taste bud's liking. The first taste was filled with flavor and the rest of the wines were amazing. I loved the wine so much that I joined the Club. When I looked at the yelp reviews later and saw how bad some of them were

Really enjoyed my visit to this organic farm/winery. It’s a family owned and operated organic farm and they make some great red wines. The owner/winemaker pours the tastings and uses his dry humor to make the experience fun and real. Be aware it’s a no frills wine tasting experience, but that is what I really enjoyed about this winery. My favorite was the 2017 Krazy Foot but all the wines were great. They also have some organic raw honey and amazing organic citrus for sale. Picked up some amazing tangelos and lemons on my visit. I’ll be back!

The Foot Path Winery is absolutely unique. This is not at all what people usually expect from wineries, such as beautiful wrapper, fancy wine pods and smiling girls pouring wine into your glasses. This is a small private winery, where the owner Deane himself makes the wine. Therefore I really enjoyed this place. So I highly recommend this place in order to get authentic experience and to try the full-bodied, delicious and balanced wine!

Loved my experience at this winery. The wine was truly delicious. Very fruity and tasty. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a relaxing experience as there is nothing pretentious. I can't wait to go back and try more of the wines. I believe they have free tastings for active military as well, which is an added bonus.

This is by far the worst winery experience ever.
1st of all they advertised as organic wine, but they add sulfites to the end product. Dishonest.
The winery we are a member of (Santa Cruz) doesn't do that. So it's possible to make organic wine without adding sulfites.
We got to taste some of the wines and there were terrible.
2nd the owner is an old lazy angry man. He is not interested in having customers or running a business. The entire place looked like a dump. It shows he doesn't care.
We didn't have a good experience and I don't recommend this winery. Save your

Absolutely loved our experience at this winery! The atmosphere might not be what you are expecting, so that might throw you off. However if you like to feel like you are at home and in a friendly environment, it is perfect!
In regards to the wine, well it was exactly what we were hoping for. The wines are unique and very delicious! The membership deal is amazing too! We are happy members now, and looking forward to our next visit.

One of the most touching winery experiences I have ever had in life was nearly 10 years ago in Lodi, a small city located inland from San Francisco. The region is know for its big, meaty, intense old vine zinfandels -- my favorite.
Far from the bustle of Sonoma and Napa, Lodi presented itself as mostly rugged, home-grown, community-minded and intensely focused on perfecting craft.
I was drawn to the smaller winemakers (and it continues so), many of whom spoke of being in the business for generations. They spoke of the difficult years and how they either worked or were working to rebound. They
