Old Town Temecula
This first stop allows time to explore the rustic streets lined with unique shops, specialty food purveyors, galleries, tasting rooms, and antique stores. Peruse for gifts, sample gourmet delicacies, and soak in the quaint setting. Founded in the mid 1800’s, Temecula’s western history is showcased along the rustic streets, with numerous shops housed in original buildings. A popular Saturday morning Farmer's Market is always a favorite of participants.
Departing for wine country, the tour follows a scenic route along the De Portola Wine Trail as our engaging Destination Temecula guide shares fun information about the culture of wine tasting, the historical significance of the valley, and the reasons grape cultivation flourishes in the Temecula Valley appellation. Indulge in a relaxing, fun, informative afternoon visiting three unique and breathtaking wineries, interacting with knowledgeable pouring staff, and often engaging with the wine maker and/or winery owner. Sample anywhere from 15-20 different wines throughout the day. A delicious, individually served upscale picnic lunch is enjoyed at this first winery stop. Savor the beautiful valley view before you with Mount Palomar on the horizon as you sample wines, enjoy your lunch, and engage in stimulating conversation with your tour mates, many who often become new best friends by the end of the day!
It is then off to the next winery, Wilson Creek, where you can join our guide for a fascinating private behind-the-scenes vineyard and production area tour conducted just for our guests, whom often find themselves chatting on the crush pad or in the production area with the winemaker. Play your cards right and you might sample a tasting from the tanks!

Finish the afternoon at a third Temecula Winery. During this last stop, participants enjoy a "casual" tasting on their own, with ample time provided to sample wine, make purchases, explore the fabulous grounds, take pictures and marvel at the breathtaking scenery.
