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.

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.

Our group had an excellent experience on the Guided Temecula Wine Tour from San Diego. The company was very responsive/accommodating to arranging hotel pick up and drop off, as well as dietary needs for the included lunch about 48 hours before the trip. The Van was very comfortable, and Dave (Tour Host) was very knowledgeable of the region and had some great jokes/games to get all tour participants to get to know one another. We stopped in Old town Temecula for the first hour of the tour for shopping and sight seeing, then proceeded onto the three wineries, with six samples at each. It was an excellent activity for our bachelorette group, but the couples and solo-travelers also had a wonderful time. On the way back, we discussed absolutely booking this tour again if we vacation in the region again. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Loved every minute of it had an awesome and informative tour guide really cool and down to earth people on my tour recommended highly take this tour you won’t be disappointed
Wonderful tour. Ended up getting a private tour with my friend as Dave took us around Temecula and told us the great spots to visit. He was very informative about the area. The wineries we went to were top notch and beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful day! I would do this tour again and again.
My companion and I had a great time. Dave made the ride up and back enjoyable with his comedy and knowledge tidbits. The time passed so quickly. First stop was Old Town Temecula where we did some olive oil sampling. Something I have never done before. From there we went to 3 wineries with the first one being the best as it was small and relaxing. We sampled more than the five samples usually given. The food was good consisting of a meat/cheese/salad platter with bread and wine. The other two wineries were good but crowded. Its a full day trip.Overall I would definitely recommend.
What a terrific tour. Sonia was the perfect guide, and made the day for us. Wineries were a delight and well chosen. Lunch delicious. Could not have asked for a better day. The tour exceeded all our expectations.
Excellent trip! Dave, our guide was GREAT, the wineries were wonderful and did not pour lightly! We would definitely recommend Destination Temecula and Viator!
