Temecula Valley is Southern California’s Wine Country with history as far back as the Mission Era. But the last few years has seen a dramatic rebirth of this fascinating wine county. Temecula is now home to more than 30 wineries whose premium quality wines are world renowned. A remarkably beautiful wine region of rolling hills, with a backdrop of mountains reaching as high as 11,500 feet, and daytime temperatures modified by cooling ocean breezes flowing over the coastal range to the west. The region has proven to be unusually diverse in the grape varieties that thrive and produce exceptional wines here, ranging from cool-climate grapes such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay, through the moderate-climate Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, to the warmer-climate Mediterranean varieties, including Viognier, Syrah, Grenache, Sangiovese and Tempranillo.
The wine-tasting experience in Temecula Valley is a very special, personal one, with wines reflecting the exceptional diversity of our region. It stands as one of the few remaining California wine regions where winery visitors are likely to run into the owner, winemaker or other winery principals in the tasting room. Friendly and personable, each of our family-owned artisan wineries are creating wines of distinctive quality and character that are receiving national acclaim for the Temecula Valley.
