Over 40 wineries along Rancho California Road. Hot air balloons at sunrise. Vineyard concerts on weekends. Southern California's wine region, an hour from San Diego.
Temecula Wine Country is technically unincorporated Riverside County — not the city of Temecula — and sits in a valley between the Santa Rosa Plateau and the Agua Tibia Wilderness. The microclimate (the Rainbow Gap pulls in ocean air from Fallbrook) and granitic soils produce wines that have been winning national competitions since the 1990s.
Most wineries are clustered along Rancho California Road and De Portola Road. The busiest weekends are spring (March-May) and fall harvest (September-November). If you are visiting on a Saturday in peak season, make reservations — several of the larger wineries cap walk-in tastings.
