If the Southern California Wine Country destination of Temecula Valley isn’t on your radar for wine regions you need to visit, it should be. Centrally located in Riverside County, about a one-to-two-hour drive from most of Southern California’s major cities and airports, including San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County, Temecula Valley is an easy getaway from just about anywhere.

With rolling hills reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside, a Mediterranean climate with warm, sunny days, breezy afternoons, and cool nights (perfect for grape-growing and vacationing!), and dozens of different grape varieties and styles of wines produced, this wine region, named by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as one of the top ten wine destinations in the world in 2019, is a must-visit for wine lovers.

While booking an itinerary of individual winery visits is a great way to see this popular Southern California Wine Country, there are actually plenty of companies in the region that specialize in creating memorable wine experiences for you. From guided wine tours to simple limo transportation to offbeat excursions on horseback or motorcycle, Temecula offers plenty of options for tasting your way through Wine Country. All you have to do is show up. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites to get you started.

Temecula Valley is known for world-class wines, stunning vistas, gorgeous weather, and friendly people. It’s also known for a sky frequently dotted with colorful hot air balloons floating over vineyards at dawn.

Each balloon adventure will start at Vindemia Winery and cover anywhere from two to seven miles. Afterwards, finish your adventurous day with a glass of wine during your complimentary wine tasting at Vindemia. For special occasions, like an anniversary or birthday, your flight will end with a European style breakfast of local breads, cheeses, fruits, and mimosas.

Learn About the Best Wineries in Temecula to Visit, Along with Recommended Temecula Wine Tours, Restaurants, Hotels & Vineyard Resort Options

Editor’s Note: This is not designed to be an all-encompassing list of Temecula wineries to visit, but rather a number of our favorites based on recent visitation. If you’ve visited a winery not on this list, we’d love to get your perspective and why it may deserve a spot on upcoming coverage!

Temecula wine country is tucked away in Southern California’s Inland Empire, making it perfect for a weekend wine tasting getaway. Temecula’s tasting rooms offer a blend of New World and Old World varieties for wine lovers to try. Home to more than fifty wineries and cultivating approximately thirty grape varieties, Temecula has everything from the familiar California varieties, like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel and Merlot alongside the not-so-typical, like Vermentino, Falanghina and the historically significant Mission Grape. Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc.

Temecula is best known for bold red wines. Tempranillo has complex aromas of plums and black cherries, while its Sangiovese wines have soft tannins and riper fruit flavors compared to their Italian cousins. Syrah has won accolades for being round, fleshy, generous and full-flavored. Cabernet Franc has emerged as the star of the Bordeaux varieties and is fast earning a reputation for producing a full, elegant and aromatic style.

Where to Go Wine Tasting in Temecula

Planning a trip to Temecula couldn’t be simpler. Depending on how much time you have, the best way to taste wine, dine and discover the region is to explore one, two, or all three of its wine trails – and each is worth exploring for a full day. 

The Rancho California Trail, The Calle Contento Trail and The De Portola Trail each offer a unique set of vineyards and wineries for tastings, dining, education, and entertainment. The easiest to access is The Rancho California Wine Trail, and it’s divided into western and eastern sections. Here you’ll find a large cluster of wineries and activities, and it is your best bet for maximum impact if you only have time for a day trip.

Day-One: The Rancho California Wine Trail

Visit Callaway Vineyard & Winery , the first commercial winery in Temecula Valley and home of Meritage Restaurant specializing in Farm to Table preparations.

Stop by Thornton Winery , known for their jazz concerts and wine tours in their French-style château.

Hart Winery offers unique wines like Angelica, a sweet, fortified style wine the Franciscan missionaries made during the late 1700s and one of the first wines made in California.

Baily Vineyard & Winery , where visitors are hosted in a medieval-themed tasting room and restaurant.

Monte de Oro has a great patio and is an excellent stop to enjoy a glass of Cabernet Franc with their famed meatball sandwich.

Wilson Creek Winery and Vineyards makes a sparkling almond wine that everybody raves about.

Day-Two: The Calle Contento Wine Trail

If you want to dig a little deeper into the Valley, take a detour along the meandering Calle Contento Wine Trail with its stunning vineyard views and backroad charm. The wineries located along this quiet road have a relaxed wine country vibe.

Falkner Winery , specializing in Super Tuscan and Meritage blends is home to The Pinnacle Restaurant with 360-degree views of its vineyards.

Briar Rose Winery features sit-down tastings in a to-scale reconstruction of Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Cottage.

Longshadow Ranch Winery is a traditional California horse ranch where you can relax with a glass of their Gunslinger’s Reserve Zinfandel, Cabernet blend, or a pint of local craft beer.

Peltzer Farm & Winery highlights an extensive year-round events calendar with a festive atmosphere while serving over 100 years of farming experience in every taste of their wine.

Vindemia Vineyard, Winery, and Bed & Breakfast emphasizes sustainability, and you can taste the efforts in the glass. Plus, you can ride in one of their hot air balloons for a Wine and Sunrise Flight.

Day-Three: The De Portola Wine Trail

The De Portola Wine Trail is a five-mile stretch of rolling hills with wineries, equestrian facilities and some of the best views of the Valley.

Cougar Vineyard & Winery featuring estate grown Italian varietals including Primitivo , Pinot Grigio, and Montepulciano that you can enjoy with Sangio’s Deli hand-tossed pizzas, salads, and appetizers.

Danza del sol Winery is set in an idyllic Spanish style estate with table-side wine tasting service.

Oak Mountain Winery has hilltop views where you can sample their sparkling raspberry and sparkling strawberry wines.

Robert Renzoni Vineyards offers great views and their restaurant, Mama Rosa’s Trattoria, has the only brick wood-burning pizza oven in the Valley.

Somerset Winery specializes in wines made from the Rhône varieties such as Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache, Syrah, and the Spanish Macabeo, Monastrell and Tempranillo.

Winetraveler Tip: Southern California is warm and pleasant most of the year, but be aware that the high desert gets very hot in the summer.

Unlike most wine regions, Temecula Valley has lodging at many of the wineries, which means you can spend the day wine tasting without having to travel. What can be better than enjoying a leisurely breakfast among the vines before exploring some more? 

South Coast Winery Resort & Spa is situated on 38 acres of vineyards. Here you’ll experience amenities like spacious suites, fireplaces, pools, spa service and all-day dining.

Carter Estate Winery and Resort offers rooms that overlook the Estate with fireplaces and private balconies or patios and a pool with a neighboring bar.

Ponte Vineyard Inn is a stunning hotel and winery with elegant rooms and a relaxing atmosphere. Guests and visitors can dine surrounded by Italian gardens or have a cocktail at their full-service bar that incidentally is the only place offering spirits in Temecula wine country.

Pechanga Resort & Casino has a full-service hotel where you can enjoy Las Vegas-style gaming, all-night entertainment before unwinding at their state-of-the-art spa.

Fun Fact: Temecula is the only city in California to still retain its original Native American name.

Tours & Activities in Temecula Wine Country

With so much to experience, these are just a few oenophilic paths the Temecula Valley has to offer the Winetraveler. And if you are so inclined, here are a few mix and match side-trips and activities to enjoy:

Old Town Temecula

Explore Old Town Temecula and take a step back into early California; here is the perfect place to grab wine by the glass and visit small tasting rooms with varietals from growers right down the road. Those preferring to stay in town can opt for one of the many hotels throughout Temecula. For a dose of history and charm, check into The Hotel Temecula, built in 1891.

Hot-Air Ballooning

The tours are available year-round so that you can observe the seasonal changes in the landscape.

Equestrian Tours

Explore the many Temecula Valley trails on horseback and sample some grapes straight from the vines.

Bike Trails

There are more than 90 miles of bike trails in Temecula Valley for cyclists of all levels.

Temecula has 39 parks and more than 20 miles of trails perfect for leisurely and more high-intensity hikes.

Travel Logistics for Wine Tasting in Temecula

A convenient thirty-minute drive from the Pacific Coast, a one-hour drive from San Diego, and a one-hour drive from Palm Springs, few wine regions are more reachable from major cities, roadways and airports than Temecula. You can check flight deals on flights into any of these cities here .

Temecula Wine Country History

The story of Temecula is rich and varied. The known history starts with the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, who have called the Temecula Valley home for more than 10,000 years. The name ‘Temecula’ loosely translates to “Where the sun breaks through the mist.” After the arrival of Europeans, it became an outpost for Spanish Missionaries who were the first to plant grapes before becoming a Mexican army outpost in the Mexican-American War, and later a railroad town with a Wild West reputation.

Coastal mountain ranges and inland valleys border the Temecula Valley. The sun heats the valleys east of Temecula. The warm air rises, pulling the Pacific Ocean’s cooler air through two mountain ranges, the Rainbow Gap and the Santa Margarita Gap. This cool air creates the pattern of warm days, breezy afternoons, and refreshing nights, resulting in the perfect location for wine grape cultivation and for enjoying the outdoors.

For more than a decade, Temecula Valley's #1 activity in the "Food and Drink" category, out of more than 75 options, is a Grapeline Wine Tour, (TripAdvisor rankings). Consistent 5-star ratings on TripAdvisor, Yelp, and every other review site confirm that a wine tour with Grapeline is an ideal way to explore Temecula Valley Wine Country. A family business founded in 2002 by Kim and John Kelliher, Grapeline is passionate about sharing the best of Temecula Wine Country with our guests and delivering real value. For less than the cost of a 90-minute ride to the airport with Uber, Grapeline's all-inclusive Classic Wine Tour offers four hours of wine tasting, a select cheese and fruit board, and deluxe transportation hosted by a 5-star wine country insider. Options include custom private tours, 3-winery and 4-winery shared tours, special event transportation, and by-the-hour chauffeured services with sedans, limos, executive SUV's, and deluxe coaches of all sizes.

Are you ready for Temecula’s first Kay Syrah Signature Series Event of 2024? I'm excited to present 'Bubbles, Brunch, & Bourbon,' an exquisite journey through Temecula's renowned wine country on Sunday, May 26, 2024, with Grapeline’s Chief Winos, John and Kim Kelliher. This tour will offer an unforgettable experience, combining the elegance of sparkling wines, the delight of a gourmet brunch, and the rich warmth of bourbon at Temecula's most beloved wineries.

Our adventure begins at Carter Estate Winery and Resort , a gem in the heart of Temecula. Here, you'll indulge in their meticulously crafted sparkling wines, produced using the true champagne method, Méthode Champenoise. Carter Estate's commitment to excellence makes it the perfect starting point for our day, setting a high standard with bubbles that dance on your palate.

Next, we'll visit Masia de la Vinya Winery , where the charm of Spanish influence meets the lush landscapes of Temecula. Prepare your taste buds for a culinary delight as brunch will be masterfully prepared by Savage Chef Dylan Soro. Known for his innovative and fearless approach to flavors, Chef Soro's creations promise to be a feast for the senses, perfectly paired with Masia's exquisite wines.

Our final stop takes us to Oak Mountain Winery , where we'll embrace the bold spirit of bourbon. In April 2024, Oak Mountain will begin offering distillery tours, and our visit will be among the first to experience their tour. Nestled within either their unique cave setting or speakeasy, this experience will provide a hearty conclusion to our day, surrounded by the expertise and passion that Oak Mountain pours into every bottle.

'Bubbles, Brunch, & Bourbon' is not just a wine tour; it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty, flavors, and hospitality that make Temecula Wine Country unforgettable. Join us for a day of exploration, enjoyment, and exquisite tastes. BOOK your spot now for a journey filled with the best that Temecula has to offer.

Tips for a Successful Vineyard Tour

My wife and I enjoyed this tour a lot and look forward to booking a different tour in the future. Read more Written March 17, 2024
• SeanWorldwide 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A solid introduction to Wine Tastings and Temeculas Wine Country Fun trip and great vibrant wineries with good varieties. Our Driver Moses and Host Calvin (Aka Dark Chocolate) made sure we had a safe time. Definitely preorder lunch on the weekends as requested as it’s worth while and will help ensure you stay at least somewhat sober. Read more Written March 9, 2024

• Esther1419 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! I absolutely LOVED THIS TOUR!! Me and my husband had such a great time! My husband does not really like wine but he enjoyed the experience so much! Our Tour Hosts were Mark and Cal and they were THE BEST!! Very knowleageable and fun, they definitely love their job! The vibes were there for sure! I booked the tour the day before, they texted us the morning of with the location they would meet us at at the time, I was so glad because when I booked it, it was kind of unclear what location exactly I was supposed to be at because they have many different tours, but they made it simple and easy. We went to 3 different wineries and each one was fun in their own way, live music, awesome people, the samples we got through the whole tour was equal to a whole bottle of wine per person, maybe even more to be honest lol. The wines they offered at each winery were pretty good too! Many options to choose from! We stayed hydrated with bottle waters they provided through the whole tour! I HIGHLY recommend this tour! I was celebrating my birthday and I could not have asked for a better way! Thank you Mark and Cal for the awesome vibes! We will be coming back for sure! Read more Written January 14, 2024
