Bella Vista Winery Temecula

Bella Vista located in Temecula is known as Temecula's first vineyard established in 1968. Five acres of the original acres are still producing adjacent to the winery, which was built in 1978. Imre and Gizella Cziraki purchased the former Cilurzo Winery, the location of Temecula’s first commercial vineyard. The Cziraki’s have been updating and modernizing the winery facility and grounds since the purchase. Bella Vista’s owner Imre Cziraki began making wine at age 7 with his grandfather in Hungary. He purchased his first vineyard in La Cresta in 1982 which was followed by the purchase of his Bella Vista Vineyard in 1998 and the winery property in 2004. The first renovation was to take a large storage room and transform it into our expansive tasting bar. Other changes include improvements to their cask room where parties and receptions can be held. In the coming months the vista area above the winery will be completed with shady palapas areas along a brickwork walkway that circles our duck pond. In the future, facilities will be added to accommodate weddings, parties and events.
