Things To Do
Winery: Miramonte
One of our favorite wineries in Temecula! We go here for unique and bold red wines. Beautiful views of the vineyard and winery road, delicious food and wine, and live music. Great for late afternoon and early evening; open later than other wineries.
Winery: Avensole Winery
Another of our favorite wineries, specializing in light whites. Grassy lawns, outdoor patios with plenty of shade, beautiful fountains, and a restaurant serving delicious food. We recommend the flatbreads.
Winery: Wilson Creek
One of our absolute favorites for daytime wine tasting! Their sparkling rose by the bottle is light and crisp, perfect for an afternoon lounging in their lively courtyard. They have an onsite restaurant, as well as a few delicious bites to eat that can be ordered from the bar. You can walk through their vines for fun photo opportunities. Join our casual meet-up here on Friday, October 25th from 12-3pm!
Winery: Bel Vino
Great for mid-day and early afternoon! Refreshing sparkling wines and rose. Bel Vino has a covered patio and large grassy lawn with views of the vines and main drag far below. They often have live music during the day but close down in early afternoon for weddings onsite.
Winery: Peltzer
Visit Peltzer for amazing spiced Sangria and a walk through their pumpkin patch! Great for seasonal Autumn fun. They often have live music.
Restaurant: Gourmet Italia
Some of the best traditional Italian food we've had. We've spent countless anniversaries and birthdays here during our vacations in Temecula.
Restaurant & Brewery: Oscar's Brewing Company
Brews and bites. Catch a live sports game!
Activity: Horseback Riding with Wine Country Trails by Horseback
Go horseback riding through the vines of Danza del Sol winery! To celebrate their "-1 Year Anniversary" — in Temecula on October 26, 2023 — Vince surprised Melanie with her first horseback riding adventure here.

It's a coin-op bar below and a ping pong hall above! In the heart of Old Town Temecula.
