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 our 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.

Bella Vista Winery and Vineyard of Temecula uses in our wines 80% estate grown grapes and 20% other Temecula grapes. The winery has a crush capacity of 280 tons with a production of approximately 15,000 cases of wine which include a ’03 Viognier, a ’02 Sonata, a newly released ’01 Cabernet Sauvignon and a ’03 Chardonnay.

Winemaker: Imre Cziraki

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
