Dining with friends? Share the Megamosa

It wouldn’t be a Temecula winery brunch without the mimosas, and Avensole takes it to the next level. The Megamosa is made with the winery’s very own soiree rose, along with the traditional orange juice and fresh fruit. The clue is definitely in the name – they’re perfect for sharing. Avensole recommends this drink for three or more guests.

Start brunch off right with the Cheese Flight

If you’re a cheese lover like us, there’s no better way to start your brunch than with the cheese flight. Avensole’s distinguished chef selects three tasty cheeses for you to try, complemented by seasonal fruits, Boursin cheese, marcona almonds, and fig jam, along with artisan bread. The cheese flight can also be made gluten-free upon request.

Fancy a salad? Try the crisp Avensole Caesar

If you’re in the mood for a salad for your winery brunch, the Avensole Caeser is perfect for you. It’s a classic for a reason, and the winery restaurant’s chefs have perfected this timeless dish. Crisp romaine leaves are topped with bacon, pepitas, shaved parmesan, and parmesan crisp, and it’s all brought together with delicious Avensole house Caesar dressing.

You won’t find a better Salmon Lox

Is salmon lox your go-to brunch choice? When it comes to a Temecula winery brunch, look no further than Avensole. The winery’s salmon lox is a big favourite, thanks in no small part to the warmed baguette and smart seasoning choices that elevate the dish to a whole new level.

Make Avensole’s Steak & Eggs the main event

The Steak & Eggs is center stage of Avensole Winery’s brunch menu. The tender 8oz flat iron steak is of course the show-stealer, but the sunny side up egg, scrummy breakfast potatoes, and flavorful chimichurri hollandaise round the dish out beautifully and make for a truly delectable ensemble. We highly recommend treating yourself to Avensole’s Steak & Eggs – you’ll savour every bite.

You’ll be glad you ordered the Breakfast Whiskey

Sitting on Avensole’s beautiful winery terrace sipping a Breakfast Whiskey is pure bliss. Made with High West bourbon, Kahlua, and maple syrup, this indulgent brunch cocktail is a treat for the taste buds and a great way to cap off your brunch.

We can’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon than enjoying a delicious Temecula winery lunch. Beautiful views, amazing food, and outstanding wine await, promising to make any lunch a special occasion – and nowhere exemplifies that more than Temecula’s Avensole Winery.

We’re highlighting a selection of the winery’s delectable dishes as well as some perfect wine pairings.

Once you’ve had a chance to try some award-winning wines, you can also indulge in a refreshing cocktail or craft beer flight.

Start off in style with the Crispy Yellowfin Ahi Tuna

Whenever Avensole Winery’s guests try the Ahi Tuna, it swiftly becomes a favourite. It’s truly a revelation – with the Calabrian aioli, ponzu, and yuzu-covered brunoise bell peppers forming an impeccable finishing touch to this mouth-watering dish.

Pairing: Avensole’s 2021 Chardonnay is an inspired choice with this exquisite tuna starter.

Keep it light and local with the Temecula Farmer’s Market salad

If you’re thinking of going for a lighter lunch, celebrate Temecula with this crisp, refreshing salad. Mixed greens, cucumber, heirloom tomato and pickled onion are topped with feta, pistachio crumble, green olives, and a divine lemon vinaigrette.

Pairing: The peach, grapefruit, and green apple notes of Avensole’s 2021 Melody Twins complement the Temecula Farmer’s Market salad especially well.

The Ricotta Flatbread is perfect for splitting

If you and your fellow diners are considering splitting a starter, we’d recommend opting for the Ricotta Flatbread. This scrumptious Italian-inspired flatbread is ideal for two or more guests and will whet your appetite for the main course. Alternatively, keep it all for yourself. We certainly wouldn’t blame you.

Pairing: Make the most of this delicious flatbread by pairing it with Avensole’s 2022 Susan.

A burger so good they named it ‘Avensole’

There’s never a bad time for a burger. Juicy Angus beef and Applewood smoked bacon is a great combination, elevated by mozzarella, caramelized onion, and shallot aioli. You don’t have to miss out if you’re vegetarian or vegan – just swap in an Impossible Patty and ask your server to make any other required changes.

Pairing: Delight your taste buds with a glass of Avensole’s 2017 Second Block when ordering the burger.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable Filet Mignon

Why wait until dinner? You deserve a treat, and trust us when we say the Filet Mignon is to die for. This succulent steak is seasoned with five peppercorn mix and sea salt, and there are plenty of accompaniments available to round it out. We recommend completing the dish with red chimichurri, grilled asparagus, and roasted cauliflower.

Pairing: This Filet Mignon with a glass of Avensole’s 2017 South Slope is a match made in heaven.

Share the love with a Charcuterie and Cheese Board

Don’t pass up the chance to try Avensole’s fantastically balanced Charcuterie and Cheese Board, whether you’re lunching with friends or dining solo. The board features prosciutto, chorizo, soppressata, and calabrese, along with three chef’s choice cheeses, seasonal fruit, marcona almonds, fig jam, stone ground mustard, and artisan bread.

Pairing: The vibrant, fruity bouquet of Avensole’s 2021 Gewürztraminer pairs beautifully with the Charcuterie and Cheese Board.
