First-time visitors are enthralled with the quality and diversity of the wines and the friendly and welcoming reception they receive at each winery they visit.”
Just 60 minutes from San Diego, Orange County, and Palm Desert and 90 minutes from Los Angeles, Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country has a sunny, relaxed spirit.

Derived from the region’s largest Native American ancestral village, the name Temecula has come to mean "land where the sun shines through the mist." It’s a perfect name for Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country, a region where the rolling hills framed by a mountain ridge are routinely kissed by morning mist, warm midday sun, cooling afternoon breezes, and cooler nights. One of the many delightful things about this 32-square-mile valley is its proximity to San Diego, Los Angeles, Palm Desert, and Orange County. It’s easy to get there and easy to relax in the spirit synonymous with Southern California.

Temecula Valley deserves to be discovered, with 40-plus wineries, overnight accommodations ranging from luxury to low-key, and an exciting variety of premium varietals and proprietary blends that have earned more than 5,000 national and international awards!
