TEMECULA WEEKEND TRAVEL GUIDE 

Craving the perfect weekend getaway? There’s a lesser-known SoCal gem that’s begging to be visited... Temecula! With more than 40 wineries, you can spend days on end exploring and wine tasting among the vineyards. There’s a vineyard to suit everyone! Not a big wine drinker? You won't get tired of exploring the irresistible charm, picturesque views and incredible cuisine Temecula has to offer as well. For a bird's eye perspective of the valley there are private hot air balloon rides available at sunrise and sunset.
