40-plus vineyards, dozens of tasting rooms, and friendly folks (they actually are glad you’re visiting).<\/p>\n

Plan to make it a weekend \u2014 there’s plenty to do: wine-tasting, golfing, balloon rides, and more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visit Old Town<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Meander.\u00a0 Go ahead.\u00a0 Explore\u00a0Old Town Temecula<\/a>\u2019s 12 blocks of antique shops<\/strong>, galleries<\/strong>, brewpubs, and restaurants.\u00a0 Head over for samples at the delicious\u00a0Temecula Olive Oil Company<\/a>, where you can taste artisan olive oils in bold flavor profiles like roasted garlic or citrusy blood orange, and then browse for lavender lotions and bath soaps at\u00a0Temecula Lavender Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Into country?\u00a0 Check out who\u2019s playing at the\u00a0Temecula Stampede<\/a>, the West Coast\u2019s largest country and western music venue (they offer free dance lessons on weekends.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Discover the Views in a Hot Air Balloon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just before dawn join the party of hot-air balloons rising 1,500 feet above Temecula\u2019s vineyards.<\/p>\n

Book a spot with\u00a0California Dreamin\u2019 Balloon Adventures<\/a>,\u00a0Magical Adventure Balloon Rides<\/a>, or\u00a0A Grape Escape<\/a>, then go up, up, and away.<\/p>\n

Enjoy amazing views of fruit groves, vineyards, and the distant mountains. After touching back down to earth, celebrate with a sparkling wine toast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taste at Wilson Creek Winery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Temecula Valley was once known for Chardonnay<\/strong> grapes, but today\u2019s winemakers have branched out into Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong>, Syrah<\/strong>, Cabernet Franc<\/strong>, and dessert<\/strong> wines.<\/p>\n

(Check out the\u00a0Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association<\/a>\u00a0website for tasting coupons and discounts.)<\/p>\n

For a fun tasting experience<\/strong>, head straight to\u00a0Wilson Creek Winery<\/a>.\u00a0 Expand your horizons with a sip of Wilson Creek\u2019s signature almond sparkling wine<\/strong>. Live bands play on the lawn most summer weekends, and an outdoor bar serves wine slushies.<\/p>\n

Enjoy E.A.T Marketplace<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lunch time! Farm-fresh sandwiches<\/strong> and homemade coconut milk<\/strong> at\u00a0E.A.T Marketplace<\/a>\u00a0(EAT stands for \u201cExtraordinary Artisan Table\u201d), and be sure to save room for turtle cheesecake<\/strong>. Chef Leah Delyte makes inventive dishes —\u00a0plenty of gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and paleo choices — with grass-fed beef and local Temecula edibles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Stay at Temecula Creek Inn<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Stay over at the\u00a0Temecula Creek Inn<\/a>, where you\u2019ll sleep well on a comfortable bed with a view of the Santa Ana Mountains<\/strong> and\u00a0Temecula Creek\u2019s 27-hole championship course<\/a>.<\/p>\n
