As a Temecula wedding photographer, one of the most important choices you can make is your venue - aside from your photographer, that is! Avensole Winery is one of my favorite venues due to its modern setting as well as open ballroom space which feels like an extension of the vineyard! I also absolutely love the staff at Avensole and how they take care of their clients. Learn all you need to know about Avensole Winery below!
Avensole Winery Location
Avensole Winery is located at 34567 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA. Its location is on “winery row” in Temecula, along with several other well-known wineries.

Avensole Winery has some of the oldest grapes in Temecula! Grapes were first planted on the property in 1969. In 2014, the property was purchased by the Lytton family and underwent a renovation. The look of Avensole Winery is modern but maintains Spanish-style charm.

Avensole Winery can accommodate up to 135 of your wedding guests.
Unique Features of Avensole Winery for Your Wedding
Vineyard Views From Avensole’s Ballroom
Avensole’s most unique feature is their gorgeous ballroom which opens up to their vineyards via pocket slider doors! It offers the bridal couple + their guests an amazing view and makes them feel like part of the event space. It’s also great to have this option just in case there’s inclement weather on your wedding day!
Variety of Background Options for Your Wedding Day Images
Avensole Winery’s grounds offer ample picture opportunities for your wedding day! Besides their gorgeous vineyards, Avensole also has a pond and a number of stone paths and walkways.

What do couples love about having their wedding at Avensole Winery?
Avensole is a beautiful winery, but what couples love the most is how modern and elegant it is for a venue in wine country.
What are some of the wedding trends you see couples incorporating at Avensole Winery and in the planning process?
Guest experience is a huge trend we are seeing. Couples want to make sure their guest are having an experience like non-other. We have seen where the food portion is more of an experience with our couple incorporating their personal favorites or including their families culture into the food.
What should couples know before booking their wedding venue?
Before booking a venue in any wine country I strongly recommend asking what the vineyard possibly will look like for your season and also knowing sunset times. Majority of ceremony options are outdoors in Temecula Wine Country and it’s important to know when it will get dark and also what the backdrop for your photos will be.
In partnership with Mosaic Bride, I photographed a styled wedding shoot at Avensole Winery featuring bright spring colors and gold accents. This shoot was featured on the cover of Mosaic Bride as well!
