I love this place. Food is great. Their wines are wonderful. Ambiance is super. What a gem
Very good !
Great beer place could use some updates and ambiance
We had the pleasure of enjoying our Easter Lunch at Rancho Capistrano Winery! Our food was wonderful! The kitchen was impacted by the number of other wine snobs, therefore there was an appetizer that went missing besides an order of fries that came out differently than ordered. The other interesting thing that came up is that they do not have coffee or mimosas.... That probably is something the owner needs to change.... Our waiter Kameron was an absolute delight! What a fantastic person
Very enjoyable.
Food was excellent, service was ok
Great setting and good food. Their mimosas are very good, too.
Loved it w it's originality and the ground feels so Angie t. That's hard to grab here... xo
Love this place! My go to place to hang with friends!❤
Pizza tasted like a cardboard...Cobb salad was disappointing...
The wine here is really good.
Directly across the street from the train station, you have the ability to ride the train down, stop at this wine bar, drink several, fantastic bottles of wine, and return to where you left on the train. No need to work about driving! If you decide to drive, there is a decent parking garage directly across the street, but expect it to be a fight for a space. This bar is worth the stop, beautiful wooden tables, large courtyard and am incredible bar. Worthy of the stop, perfect place to have a date or night cap.
Join the wine club, ask for Andy and enjoy
Our girl's day out in the beautiful City of San Juan Capistrano was a wonderful experience. It was made even more memorable by our choice of lunch venue, Rancho Capistrano Winery. We were greeted by friendly, helpful and a very professional staff. It was a hairy day for the restaurant as they had only one cook. We were informed that lunch would be delayed due to this problem. As we were all very hungry we toyed with the idea of leaving as some of the other guests were doing, We made the choice to wait it out and it was WELL WORTH the wait. We were treated to several items on the house as we waited. The food was excellent especially the brussel sprouts of which, may I add, I am not fond of. But my favorite new wine of choice is the Mexican Coffee Port. It is listed as a desert wine, but like non I have ever sampled. I am still reliving and experiencing the taste. I have not decided yet how to describe this wine but for now the one word that springs to mind is SUPERB! I would also use this word to describe the food and our whole experience at the winery. Rancho Capistrano Winery is a must visit if you are in the area. CUDOS to the staff!!!
The atmosphere was great. Food was absolutely amazing! One of the best melas I have ever had. We do fine dining all over the world. Lots of great wine to choose from. Will definitely return. Servers were very friendly and quick. Priced very fair.
Our favorite is to share a pizza and full size salad. Always fresh and the patio atmosphere is very pleasant.
Great atmosphere, food, vino & service❣️
From the food to the wine you cannot go wrong. Throw in excellent wait staff and an incredible atmosphere and you have yourself an excellent evening!
I always enjoy eating there. The food is good. The service can be slow at times but is always nice.
Love coming here! There's an outdoor area with a fireplace where they do love music. Food is good, and the entire place actually feels like a winery. Very comfortable. Even the people who work here are great.
Had a wonderful time here. The patio is relaxing and warmly lit, the food is consistently good and the service attentive. Loved doing the wine bottling class; will be back to do it again and would recommend for groups.
Outstanding service and wine selection. Will be coming back again and again
Food was great. Service was terrible.
Amazing! Love this place? Great food, great wines, great service! Highly recommended!
Servers and manager need to be trained and educated over customer service and common etiquette. Manager is diffencive when it comes to a complaint towards her staff, she did not appreciate me mentioning that even though I asked our waitress to bring the soup out before the main course (which should be common sence) the waitress still brought them out at the same time. The manager simply said that its how it comes out in the kitchen sometimes, and when I informed her I won't be having either the soup or the main course because my wife and father had almost finished their food. She immediately took the plates and brushed it off as if I should've accepted it as it is.
Excellent staff, wine and food! This is a must visit if your in San Juan Capistrano, whatever time of day it is!
Thursday music nights + warm summer nights = win win (plus you can bring your dog on the patio)
One of the most beautiful place. Live music
Excellent wine food and service!
Love their pizzas!
Nice ambience, good food, good wine. Live music is fun, but could be improved.
A wonderful place for wine tasting & lunch
Saw San Juan Capistrano in a totally new way!!!! Had a great dinner at Capistrano Winery Restaurant!! And The Old Historical Capistrano. Saw very interesting plant! Never saw one like it!! It was a great day!!
One of our favorites spots and for sure the best winery in the area. It is kid friendly and great service.
Great wines, a great wine club offering and AMAZING FOOD!
Great service and people. yummy food
Really good selection of locally made wines
Mixed review. Nice setting. Our party of four enjoyed most everything. Charred brussel sprouts and crab dip appetizers we're good. Our server recommended the zucchini cannelloni, which I ordered. The grilled veggies that came with it were delicious. The cannelloni, however, was so salty, it was inedible. When I told the server, she basically blew me off. She took it away, but made no offer to have the chef remake it or make something else. No adjustment to the bill either. The others in my party said their entrees were good - lamb meatballs and beef stroganoff.
Great place to have a glass of wine in the heard of San Juan Capistrano, service is ok during busy time it is hard to place an order or pre-order. Most of the wines, as the server informed us, are stainless steel fermented wines with "powder" added to get the desired flavor results. Our wine was 'oaky' a d we did question the only "stainless steel" barrel fermentation, we once again were told that "oak" powder created that beautiful oak flavor. You decide if this is what you like to enjoy.(
Very inviting and warm atmosphere. The service was excellent and servers and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Live entertainment was icing on the cake and made for a very memorable evening. Definitely going to be a regular visitor!
Great wine and atmosphere
I came here the other day with a friend, and I thought the style, decoration, and the outside area were beautiful! I ordered the chicken pesto pasta, and I absolutely loved it. Might possibly be the best pasta I've ever had. I enjoyed my experience here, and cannot wait to come again.
Excellent service. Waitress were friendly and patient. Food was freshly made. Good selection of wine. There are gluten free options.
Great patio with live music. Excellent service. Had the ahi stak then bacon, jalapeno pizza. Top notch. Only issue is we waiting for table wen lots were open, maybe under staffed? Best in the area
Don’t waste your time or money. Service was bad, food was below average. Pizza was barely cooked and I’m pretty sure the salad had bacon bits from Walmart - not real bacon bits. We will not go back. We could have eaten the same thing from Costco for 1/4 of the money and it would have tasted better AND we wouldn’t have had to listen to the freaky Adele wanna be singer. We waited an hour for a table when they told us it would be 30 min. The staff had no clear job duties..they All do it All...but no one really gets service. By 9 o’clock no one cares because there just there to drink wine and that’s good because the wine was the only thing that was ok. Everyone is frantically running around. Our order was taken by a server just passing thru, we got served by another waiter, and we had to flag down a hostess to get our check. Our server never asked us how it was going other than a quick passing - how y’all doing - never asked for more drinks or filled our water. No one asked us for another glass of wine or desert. The freaky Adele singer started at 8:30 and was catering to the 50th birthday party in the area next to us. Seriously I don’t know those people and I for sure don’t want to be part of their 50th bday...trust me tho..that singer was going to be in your face whether you liked it or not. Wish I had my 2 hours and $75 back. Not worth it. Do so many other great places to go in Orange County.
Beautiful patio sitting out back. The food was excellent and we win for Mother's Day and had a great time. Easy access to the train which is right across the tracks
Great food, great wine, lovely setting.
Soon as you walk in the doors that place explodes into a great venue for large parties and to top it off the food was killer
Nice ambiance. Decent food and service. Mediocre wine selection. Would go back
Soooo fricken good. Ranchero breakfast 9\10
Look before you bite Sat right away but was a minute from leaving until someone came to our table. The service from then on was good but when we got our food my tacos had a hair right on top. I didn’t say anything to my wife so as not to put her off until she pulled a hair off her pizza. Just when that was enough I saw an eyelash on the corner of my plate. Gross
They have fantastic food and house wine
awesome place, live music on weekends, great and friendly staff, dog friendly and , yes, the food is great.
Great food and great service.
Micah was awesome service feom bartenders and waiter were great. Esmerelda was kind and Isaac was very intentive.
Such a fun place, great food, great wine!
This place is great. Good food, drink, and srvice
Good wine and food Just learn how to respect the American flag, what it stands for, those who made it great and those of us who support our country!
Food and atmosphere are excellent. Awesome selection of wines, great price for a 5 sample tasting. Outdoor space is fantastic, all bartenders and servers were really nice and helpful
Very nice place, wine quality is very good and was surprising me. Deserve to go back.
Always a good time, great gsm and petit syrah
Sometimes a bit of a wait, but the patio is fantastic. Good Wine, excellent food, good atmosphere, excellent food, very good service and excellent food.
The wine is good, the food is excellent and I receive money back by scanning my receipts using Trio Rewards App
While they've had their ups and downs in regards to customer service in the front of house, for the most part it's a nice place to chill, listen to a singer (some nights) and enjoy a glass of wine and a meal. With so many varieties of wine I am sure there something to satisfy everyone's palette.
Great all around place
One of my absolute favorite places to hang out with friends or even by myself. Wine choices are awesome and the food is always super yummy and served with a smile!! Happy Hour is ☆☆☆☆☆ AND if you become a member of their wine club you get extra special things like a by one get one glass of wine everytime you visit during Happy Hour!! Whaaaat???
Wine is delicious
I had my rehearsal dinner here and was blown away. Service was great, food was exceptional, and we really enjoyed the live music outside. SHOUTOUT to my great server who really went above and beyond!
Beautiful patio for enjoying wine & food. Comfortable environment to relax and I love to go there
Good food, the happy hour specials are worth dropping for.
Fantastic spot! Been here for lunch and brunch. Both times great service and excellent food!
Yummy food
We had a really nice lunch this afternoon at Rancho Capistrano Winery. I loved their Rose' wine, I even bought a bottle to take home. The food was great and so was the live music. I recommend visiting!
Patio is lovely, but overall our food was poor and the service mediocre. Chicken dish was so dry it was nearly inedible. Steak dish was overcooked and tough. Best dish on the table was my son's mac and cheese. They wouldn't make any food accommodations. My husband was told they couldn't do his dish with no mushrooms and I was told they dont split plates when my 85 year old grandfather wanted to share a dish. I was told i could split it myself. I could see this happening at a casual dining place, but when your average plate is $40 I expect reasonable accommodations. We will not be back.
This place is cute until you order. Wines are mediocre...Food horribly priced for what you get...A wedge salad $17 which should be and what was presented was maybe $8, burger $15 came with everything we didn't order...sent back came right back out with everything removed in the back...wouldn't come back or refer a friend...there are much better places to eat in Capistrano!
Love this wine bar!!! Excellent service too
Complete disaster. Meal messed up, overcooked steaks, salad with missing ingredients, and no place settings. All of which took 45 minutes to rectify. Subpar. That said maybe if the food were hot and on time it maybe "adequate"
Ambiance, wine selection, and food were great. Beer selection was very small but good. No cocktails.
Excellent service, very good food and wonderful wine!
Love love our membership best investment ever people are amazing they're the monthly pick up parties are so much fun Everyone is always so gracious and personable! And the food is incredible not just the wine!
Perfect spot for good wine and food. Great service at the bar. Live music outside on the large nice patio.
Usually going to Winery dates for the first time, and I haven't been to Rancho Capistrano, and it was too far to go for the winery place, and we just arrived on every Tuesdays at 5pm.
Wonderful patio, good wine and small plates. Sweet potato fries and flatbreads are the best!
Great brunch , outdoor seating with live music. Good portion of quality food .
Purposely delayed seating us until the more expensive dinner menu started.
The patio is great for hanging out, have wine and enjoy live music. Nice crowd and cozy atmosphere. Their wines are good. Liked the dorado the best (blend). Also had their seafood risotto and really enjoyed it.
This is a wonderful place in atmosphere in service and the food beyond good
Do not go here for the wine. I was wondering how they could make good wine importing juice from around the world - turns out they can't. Everything was pretty undrinkable, most tasted like the bottles had been open for too long, and it was Saturday.
My family took my mother there for her 80th birthday and it couldn't have been nicer! We sat outside. The outdoor patio is beautiful, with a gorgeous fireplace and couches. Just a really nice setting. And the food was wonderful. Definitely one of my new favorite places to go.
The meat and cheese plates were great, loved my moscato and the boys loved the bear, cute place especially for small groups, live entertainment on the weekend...

Food was awesome and the wine was good. Only complaint was the seating...didnt have a reservation so the table we were seated at had direct sun in the face. Waiter tended to ignore us but over all good place to go.
Wonderful meal,great entertainment,fabulous atmosphere.
Loved this place!! Wine was fantastic too. Table got lots of apps which everyone one loved. They even took extra care taking my celiac friendly order. A+ will definitely be back next time.
Best Brussels sprouts ever!!!
Amazing food! If the chicken roulitini isn't the best meal in south oc, please let me know!
Make reservations.
The food was great! Good service and good wine! Nice place!
Great staff and food
It was amazing! It is one of the venues my nephew and soon to be nice are looking at. The look of the place was absolutely beautiful the food was delightful the service was outstanding!
Service is good, nice place, prices go with the location and city, a good selection of wines and the food is good too: Risoto a little bit to the salty side, but eatable. Overall 4 of 5
Love the wines and I love their olive oil.
Great place - wine, food and frivolity!
A good variety of wines at reasonable prices.
I was here Saturday April 8th 2017 i attend a birthday party with my girlfriend's family I was plesently surprised the food was delicious everything was absolutely amazing down to the last bite we started off with the chicken bbq flat bread that was tasted great I personally had the cheese burger with bacon dispite no pickles it was a great Burger finger licking good until the last bite and lastly my girlfriend and I split a cheese cake for dessert probably one of the best I've ever had overall experience was exquisite deffently coming back soon ps staff was awesome
A few misses aside - it’s an excellent place with very good food )))
Upscale, clean, close to other wonders. The food was wonderful, good portion, the wine was very nice.
Very nice bar to have wine and a snack. The menu is delicious and place has a romantc vibe. Good service.
Good wines and good service. The food was great and they have a nice outside patio with live music. We sat at the bar and did wine tasting, then moved to patio, had lunch and a bottle of wine. It was. Great spot to relax and enjoy the Sunday.
Always great service, wonderful staff, excellent wine. The "pickup party" isn't what it once was. Still good music, great company, but the little buffet has lost it's luster. Need to get back to the great flatbreads and stroganoff!
The food was nothing special.
This is wine made by true wine afficinados. They are some very deep and wonderful reds here. I'm sure the whites are great as well, but I did not try. We did not try the restaurant, but the food and patio looked amazing.
Stopped by for dinner and drinks while in the area. The beer flight left something to be desired but the wine selection was plentiful and it IS a winery so one cannot really complain. The food tasted great and the portions were fairly average. We sat outside and the heat lamps kept us warm. There was public parking available nearby.
Love it
Great outdoor space, perfect for groups or parties. It's a restaurant. They do no wine making on the premises. They do offer their own wine brand... which is not very good, unfortunately. The menu is large, everyone in our group could easily find something great to eat along with a limited selection of wine and bubbles.
Food is decent, wine is pretty good, and staff is amazing ( Casey keeps us coming back). Wine club is great too. Dog friendly patio is a huge bonus.
Great food, great wine, great service.
Dog friendly!
Great service and delicious food
Great service and good food!
RCW is always a treat. The food is excellent, the wine is good, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Wait staff stays on top of it and you don't usually have to wait for much.
poke salad was amazing and the atmosphere incredible!!
We had a great time celebrating a family birthday. We enjoyed all of the entrees and the mac and cheese was so good and rich. It went perfect with the Cabernet we ordered. We had a large crowd of 15 and the was on top of everything.
I'm a wine club member and love it. The primary benefit for me is that I ride the train from San Clemente to LA daily. And on the days I catch the Amtrak to SJC, I can stop in for a complementary glass of wine before the Metrolink arrives and I take it back to San Clemente. But the food there is amazing. Flatbreads, burger, the Mac and cheese, I can't think of anything I've had that wasn't delicious. I strongly recommend sitting outside by the fire, it's a great look. Enjoy
Food was very good. My husband actually said the ranch burger was up there as one of the best burgers hes ever had!! Little let down with the service. Didn't get drink refills and we waited for a server to come by to ask...to no avail. But lovely place great atmosphere great food so not going to knock it for service!!
Good food and service. We enjoyed live entertainment on a brisk day outside.
Good Mexican ambience. Mist of it has outdoor seating with heaters. Food is nicely cooked and service is good too.
Service is spotty. Servers are nice. Wines are strong!
Food was amazing and sangria was too notch
Love this place, great and friendly service
We sat in the hot sun, order was wrong and delayed, and flies were so bad we didn't finish our $100 meal. I expressed disappointment to the waitress and SHE DID NOT CARE. I will never return.
Great cobb salad. Country music and great atmosphere.
This place is okay. Nice location and ambiance. The wine is average. Some yummy share plates.
Lunch and dinner entrees are delicious. Brussel sprouts are one of our favorites!
The wine is sublime and food and service! I had the BEST burger here!!!
Atmosphere was great. Very pretty patio with live music. Service was a tad slow but the server was very nice. Food was very good. I enjoyed the chicken & waffles.
Atmosphere, service, food - all aces! The wait staff were all so warm and friendly - felt like i was in my living room w the fireplace patio and thankfully I was able to eat Mac and cheese (gluten free) so grateful! Food was delicious!
Nice atmosphere, good location. Great patio. Food is good. Have both beer wine. Good place for a date. There is music out on the patio at nights but hard to talk if you are too close. Beers are as expensive as wine which I found unusual.
Lovely patio, bar, great wine, LOVE THE MAC N CHZZZ.... Great people, staff!!!
I always stop in to Rancho Capistrano Winery when I'm in the area. The wine selection is great. The staff is always friendly. Everyone is very knowledgeable about the wine if you have questions. I've yet to try the food but everyone else seems to like it. The vibe here is more trendy and modern than Five Vines across the street but they're both good options to get a drink.
Atmosphere is great, service is just OK. Waited 25 minutes for a seat while others who came in after us were seated before us, then the hostess gave attitude when questioned.
Very good food options. Uneven service. Will have to give them another shot to see if it was an off day for service.
Food was great. The menu was slightly overpriced. The wait staff seemed a bit too busy to respond to our requests immediately
Live music, good wine and beer, beautiful outdoor patio with a fireplace and heat lamps. Highly recommend this place for any event from a date night to a girls' night out!
Great food and.great service. The brussel sprouts appetizer is amazing
Fun atmosphere. Good food and drinks. Friendly staff
Place is top notch
Host lied about free dessert for birthday or it just didn't come.burger was over cooked when ordered medium rare was way too salty wine was OK shrimp pasta was good salad dress was too strong waiter Casey nice but won't come back Food was over priced resturant looks cool but that not enough u guys need to fix a few things
