Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a complete novice, a tour to a winery is the ideal way to to discover the subtle and complex flavors of wine. What better way to learn than with a visit to Temecula Valley, the only California city that was selected by Wine Enthusiast as a "Top 10 Wine Destination" in 2019. Temecula's charming small-town atmosphere and undulating hills are reminiscent of Tuscany and the warm sun plus cool evenings produce perfect growing conditions for Italian, Spanish, and French grapes that favor the Mediterranean climate and fertile soils of the area. Two of the area's finest are Wilson Creek Winery, whose magnificent grounds grow fragrant grapes that produce a wide selection of varietals, perfect for sipping and savoring during informative tasting sessions; and Peltzer Family Cellars offers tastings in the garden, accompanied by a picnic lunch.
