Temecula is a lovely Southern California town with rolling vineyards, a charming historic Old Town, and lots of sunshine.
There’s plenty to do here, from wine tastings and hot-air balloon rides to exploring the boutiques in Old Town or enjoying a meal with beautiful countryside views.
In early October, the afternoons are comfortably warm—usually in the low 80s—with cooler evenings that are perfect for enjoying outdoor events or watching the sunset.
