2026 Temecula Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in September)

Wine tasting at a Winery in Temecula, California. It was so interesting and eye opening to find out about how much effort goes into making wine. It has such a long history around the world. Much more complicated than I imagined. #merrychristmas

After waiting a whole year, this Kyoho grape farm in Temecula is finally open! I finally got to experience grape picking 🍇 The first batch this year is super sweet and juicy, totally beats the freshness and taste of supermarket grapes 👍 It's said to be a family-run farm and the largest Kyoho grape vineyard in Southern California! 🍇 At the entrance tent, find the owner to get a basket and scissors. Pick whichever bunch you want, then go back to the tent to weigh and pay (cash or card accepted, cash can help with rounding off). However, this year only Kyoho grapes are available for picking. If you don’t want to pick yourself, you can also buy the grapes they’ve already picked👌 The owner's wife is super nice, maybe we hit it off 😆 When we went, she even gave us a whole bunch of grapes, the green Sunshine Rose grapes are insanely sweet. They didn’t open self-picking for those this year, but you can still buy them. I think Kyoho grapes have more flavor and are super juicy 👍 ☀️ Tips: Be sure to protect yourself from the sun! Wear a hat, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing—it’s really hot and sunny! Remember not to wear sandals, the ground is all dirt, and watch out for bees (don’t spray perfume). It gets melting hot in the afternoon 🔥 It’s better to go on a cloudy day for more comfort. 🍇 Farm: KHM Produce, INC. 📍44570 Highway 79, Aguanga, CA 92536 📆 Weekdays 12:00-18:00, Weekends 10:00-18:00 (mid-August to early September) 🅿️ Plenty of parking space next to the farm 💰 Prices: 💜 Kyoho grapes with a slightly tart and juicy taste $7/lb 💚 Sunshine Rose (Golden Shine Muscat) sweet and delicious $13/lb Southern California’s grape season only comes once a year, so you really have to go early. The season ends in September 😆 Miss it and you’ll have to wait until next year 🤣

Had a nice time here for a couples retreat ❤️

Looking for a relaxing weekend, I drove to Temecula. It really doesn't feel like America; it's more like a small European town: slow-paced, quiet, and the gentle breeze blowing through the vineyards is so soothing. 📍 One-Day Itinerary: 10. 00 Arrive in Old Town Temecula → Coffee shop stroll 11. 30 Bolero Winery → Wine tasting + photo session 14. 00 Lunch (Bolero) - The restaurant there is nice (Photos 11-15) 15. 30 Bottaia Winery → Vineyard walk 17:00 Just find a hillside to watch the sunset – perfect! 👍There are many wineries nearby; you can drive to the next one in about 7 minutes! · ✔ Free parking · ✔ Plenty of parking spaces · ✔ Right at the winery entrance, just a short walk to the tasting area

Such an enjoyable time spent in a beautiful setting, the Temecula Olive Oil Co. is a bit beyond the beaten path, tucked away from the winery row. The outdoor tasting room made us feel like we were in Tuscany! Flavors, infusions and pairings were introduced by the lovely tour guide/farmer with considerable knowledge and experience.

Im curently going to school and starting a new.

delicious breakfast 💰Average Price per Person:30$💞Reasons to Recommend: it was delicious chia pudding .

Everything was fine just wished we didn’t have to use a trash room and wish it had shampoo already in the room but otherwise okay 👌

| Recommended towns suitable for couples to spend a whole day on weekends. Temecula is also known as the Little Napa in Southern California. Located between LA and SD, each is an hour’s drive away. Perfect for couples in Southern California to hang out for a whole day. 🚗Recommended round trip for the day: Stop 1️⃣: TOAST to fill your stomach It’s my first time to check out the place, and overall it’s very good! His Benedict is really great! But the steak is a bit ordinary. The price is reasonable, $20 per person, but the waiting time is a bit long, 30 minutes... 📌Address: 31093 Temecula Pkwy d6, Temecula, CA 92592 Stop 2️⃣: Rub the animals at Sugarplum Zoo This is the part I'm most looking forward to ~ it's so healing! Escape the city life and come to Temecula Seeing the little animals basking in the sun and eating grass leisurely is a great way to relieve stress on the weekend Forget all your worries 📌Address: 39695 Berenda Rd, Temecula, CA 92591 Stop 3️⃣: Wilson Creek Winery for a drink I didn't book the wine tour because I booked it too late. It doesn't matter. You can buy tickets directly for wine tasting. 💲25/6 drinks, but the bartender was quite excited and gave us one more drink, which equals to 7 drinks in total When they drank the third cup, the old couple looked into each other's eyes and their faces turned red and their hearts beat fast. Our favorite drink is Almond Sparkling Because it was uncomfortable to drink wine standing up during the tasting, we asked the bartender to "fill up" for the last two glasses. I regretted it after I filled it up. I felt that our behavior and clothing were like two minors who had sneaked into the adult world. Stop 4: Old Town Temecula, stroll around the town to sober up The name Temecula comes from an ancient Indian language. Meaning: "place of sun" It seems that there is really such a meaning to wandering around the town while tipsy The town under the sunset seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of fairy air. You can visit the handicraft shops, antique shops and boutique galleries in the town. If you live here, you can also go to the small bar to drink a glass of wine brewed by their own farm. But if you have to rush back to LA that night, don’t drink anymore (there are thousands of roads to take, but safety comes first!!)! Finally, here are a few tips: All the attractions, wineries and shops in Temecula town close very early. It will probably close at six o'clock. So when you go out for fun, be sure to leave early. Strictly control the time for each item.

This is an old town with an Indian style, with unique shops along the way. In addition, the people here are very warm and polite, which made the whole trip smooth and rewarding #LocalTravel

beautiful winery on our wine tasting trip in temecula!#tripblazers #fallingforfall wilsons creek winery

The west coast is arguably one of the most beautiful parts of the United States. You can hike a mountain in the morning and have a golden hour dinner on the beach at sunset. The versatility and option of things to do are endless. Southen California will have your heat if you choose to visit. Major cities like San Diego and Los Angeles will have you booked up pretty quickly. If you choose to go more local, say Temecula or Carlsbad, you can find wine country. Out in the desert, there are wineries along the highway, it's definitely hard to choose where to go but my suggestion is Wilson Creek Winery. They have a huge selection of reds, whites, and their signature sparkling wine (aka champagne). You can purchase a whole bottle for you and your group or purchase a tasting ticket which gives you 6 glasses for around $25. It's the perfect way to soak in the California sunshine and roam around the vineyard. #awesomepic #summervacation #california #southerncalifornia #winery #vineyard
