Things To Do
Wine Taste
Temecula Valley is known for its beautiful vineyards, rolling hills, and laid-back wine tasting experiences! Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just in it for the views and vibes, there’s over 40 wineries to choose from! Our favorites are Europa Village, Leoness, Ponte, Callaway! Make a reservation – Some wineries accept walk-ins, but it’s a good idea to book tastings in advance. Tasting fees – Most wineries charge around $20–$30 per tasting, which typically includes 5–6 wines. Many waive the fee if you purchase a bottle! Plan transportation – If you plan to visit more than one winery, consider using a ride-share service, wine tour company, or designated driver to stay safe while sipping. Want to sit back and sip without driving? Check out: Temecula Cable Car Wine Tours – Vintage cable car rides through wine country. Grapeline Wine Tours – Group or private wine tasting tours with pickups. Sunrider Wine Tours – Guided tastings with local insights.
