Temecula, California is part of the lush northern area of the state known as wine country. There are many wineries in Temecula and due to the scenery, the wine, and the affordability, Temecula are popular among Californians and wine connoisseurs alike. Though the Napa and Sonoma Valleys are more renowned for wine-making, Temecula Valley produces its fair share of wine. With over 20 wineries in operation, Temecula Valley offers a wide variety of Temecula wine tours. With fun and friendly names like the "Grapeline" and "Go Grape" tours, Temecula makes wine touring and wine sampling a relaxing, entertaining day trip. Visitors can also book lodging at the same time as scheduling their tour- and at a reduced rate.
The breathtaking beauty of the Temecula grape vineyards makes them "ripe" to host events such as weddings. Temecula Valley is a wonderful backdrop for an outdoor wedding. Wedding parties can book a group wine-tasting tour after the festivities. Other Temecula include the "Vineyard Picnic Tour" in which members visit four wineries, sample food and wine from each, and enjoy an alfresco gourmet picnic lunch. This is one of the top Temecula wine tours. Another option is chartering a private car or limousine
to take a group on a tour in style and comfort (and with a sober, hired driver). A wine consultant will accompany the group to advise and educate members about various wines.
Temecula Valley and Other Wine Tours
Temecula are not only specific to Temecula Valley. Tours are available to take groups to nearby Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara. Groups can enjoy shopping, fine dining, and other activities via shuttle on these tours. It is also possible to make a weekend or week-long vacation out of wine country touring. There are over 400 wineries in wine country and every winery has its own features to enjoy. Wine country also offers luxurious hotels, spas, golf courses, and lies in close proximity to major cities like San Francisco.
Besides its beauty, Temecula Valley offers a few things that other areas of wine country don't have. For example, the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival attracts approximately 40,000 people each year. Another plus is that Temecula is in close proximity to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Mexico. Its prime location makes it an excellent weekend and vacation destination. Lastly, its balmy, southern California climate produces excellent Mediterranean varietal wines.
