The first stop is Frangipani Estate Winery, a family-owned and operated boutique vintner specializing in bold reds while additionally offering a variety whites and blushes. Guests will marvel at the view sitting down, weather permitting, on a covered patio overlooking a serene valley, with Mount Palomar on the horizon. If the weather is inclement, a protected, indoor setting is provided. The staff offers friendly, informative table service, pouring wine samples as you relax while soaking in the incredible view. A delicious, individually packaged lunch is enjoyed at this first stop while engaging in stimulating conversation with your tour mates, many who often become new best friends by the end of the day! With advance notice, vegetarians and those with specific dietary needs are respectfully accommodated.

The next destination is high energy, guest-centric Wilson Creek Winery, perhaps Temecula’s most popular vintner. A wide tasting roster is highlighted by their signature item, Sparkling Almond! An optional vineyard and production area tour lead by your Destination Temecula guide provides those who would like to participate a fascinating behind-the-scenes experience, often highlighted by a chat on the crush pad or in the production area with the winemaker. Play your cards right and you might sample a tasting from the tanks! Free time then allows exploration of the wonderful setting for photography throughout the beautiful grounds, and purchase discounts provided to DESTINATION TEMECULA guests.
