Things To Do

Wineries

Vitagliano Winery

One of our favorite wineries in Temecula. A family-owned estate that produces some of the tastiest Tuscan style wines in California. It’s like a slice of Italy in Temecula. Live music almost every weekend with a new dedicated food truck.

Miramonte Winery

A great spot for lunch or a snack. Awesome appetizers, wines, and a view that’ll take up some space on your camera-roll. Plus, they have live music and a relaxing vibe. Just don’t blame us if you end up staying all day.

Lorimar Vineyards and Winery

Party in the vines. With live music every day, delicious food, stunning views, and some of the best wines in the area. Don’t miss their red blends. They’re so good, you’ll reconsider your +1 for the wedding.

Maurice Car’rie Vineyard

Looking for a spot to have a blast under the sun? Maurice Car'rie is where it's at! They've got lawn games, wine flights, and mouthwatering sourdough baked brie bowls that will make you weak in the knees.

Somerset Winery

We regular this Wine Garden more often than maybe we should. They have live music and constantly rotating food trucks. Try their sangria or “Drunk Bunnies Rose” and you’ll feel like you’re in a wonderland with Alice. 🐇

Frangipani Estate Winery

Relaxed and loved by the locals. Their Cab Franc is a spicy treat. And don’t forget their furry companion, who’ll welcome you with a grin and probably a plea for a pat on the head or a bite 🐶

Restaurants / Food

Cork | Fire Kitchen

We love this place. A classy and comfy restaurant at the Temecula Creek Inn. They serve fresh and organic food from the valley, from fancy plates to killer burgers. Trust us, you’ll be hooked on this place.

The Goat & Vine

Serving gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, salads and more, all made from scratch in their stone hearth kitchen.

Blackbird Tavern

A place where you can enjoy gastropub food, live music and fire pits in an old feed and mercantile building. It’s like going back in time, but with better beer and bacon.

Activities & Shopping

Old Town Temecula

Just a short stroll from the hotel, here you’ll find antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, breweries, theaters, museums and more, all housed in rustic western-era buildings. From coffee to lunch to winery tasting rooms, you’ll find it hard to leave once you check it out.

Hot Air Balloon Tours

From 6-8am every weekend, you'll see the skies over the wineries filled with hot-air balloons. Check out the many tours offered (if you're feeling daring). Or set an early alarm and clear some space on your camera roll. You may be tired, but you won't be sorry.

Temecula Creek Golf Club

Looking to sneak in some golf while in town? Check out the 36-hole club at Temecula Creek Golf Club. Best part is it's located right next to Cork | Fire restaurant so what better way to spend your day if wine isn’t your thing?

Pechanga Resort Casino

A place where you can gamble, golf, spa and swim in the largest resort/casino on the West Coast. It’s like Mohegan Sun, but with more mountains and an In-N-Out instead of a Whalburgers.

Breweries / Nightlife

Oscar's Brewing Company

When we get tired of sipping wine and pretending to be sophisticated, we head to this restaurant and brewery by the Duck Pond. They have a huge wrap-around porch where you can watch the water fountain, have a bite or brew, and enjoy a moment of zen. Their garlic breadsticks and greek salad are so good, you may need to fend off a duck or two. Worth it.

Temecula Stampede

Yee-haw! Stampede is the ultimate country bar in Old Town Temecula. Whether you want to show off your line dance moves, rock out to some country tunes, or ride the mechanical bull, you’ll have a blast at this place. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to line dance, they offer free lessons every Friday at 6:30pm. Just don’t forget your cowboy hat and boots!
