This
winter, travelers can visit beautiful Temecula Valley to check off
five bucket list worthy activities from their must-do adventure list.
Located just 60 minutes from San Diego and 90 minutes from Los
Angeles, Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country presents
visitors with the opportunity to experience bucket list activities
from a hot air balloon flight to limo rides, exploring wine country
by foot or on horseback, and watching the California sun set behind
the mountain range.
This
winter bucket list is a must-do for both first-time and repeat
visitors to the region. Guests staying midweek can avoid large crowds
and enjoy a more intimate three to five-day experience with local
artisans while on their bucket list adventure.
Float
in a Hot Air Balloon
For the
ultimate airborne adventure, check a hot air balloon flight off your
bucket list while in Temecula Valley. Visitors can take in a
panoramic view of Southern California’s unique topography,
beautiful estates, and awe-inspiring scenery with sunrise flights,
available year-round (weather-permitting). Passengers float above the
vineyards and citrus groves with the scent of fresh oranges filling
the skies.
Ice
Skate Under Sunny Skies
One of
the great parts of living in California is that the winter season
provides some beautiful outdoor weather. During this time, Old Town
Temecula, Galway Downs, and Peltzer Farms all provide outdoor
ice-skating rinks for those who want the thrill of throwing on skates
and braving the slippery ice. As Temecula Valley rarely gets snow,
this opportunity brings in many people who normally do not have the
opportunity to experience this lively action, especially in shorts.
Take
a Wine Country Tour
Temecula
Valley Southern California Wine Country features nearly 50 local
wineries, including boutique and full-service wine resorts, for a
wine tasting bucket list adventure to enjoy with friends, family, and
to celebrate special occasions.
The
relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere of the region is matched by its
delightful tasting experiences overlooking picturesque rolling hills
of vineyards while sampling award-winning premium wines and Southern
California cuisine.
Ride
Horseback
Saddle
up for a bucket-list adventure atop a gentle steed. Horse trails in
Temecula Valley’s wine country are perfect for exploration and wine
tasting on horseback. First-timers can book lessons or introductory
trail rides for both guided group tours and on-your-own endeavors.
For a breathtaking view, consider taking trails to Vail Lake.
Watch
a Sunset
As the
California sun sets behind Temecula Valley each evening, the hills of
wine country come alive with shimmers of light reflecting the
yellows, oranges, purples, and pinks of the sun’s last moments.
Visitors can end their bucket list worthy day with a sampling of the
region’s local wine in hand to toast the completion of a bucket
list well done.
Fantastic
sunset viewing locations are available at Callaway Vineyard and
Winery, Bel Vino Winery, and Avensole Winery.
The
Temecula Valley Wine Country is widely recognized for its scenic
vineyards, award-winning wines, and experiential wineries. The
popular boutique destination includes the Temecula Valley A.V.A.
(American Viticulture Area) as well as historic Old Town Temecula,
and Pechanga Resort Casino. It also was named as a 2019 Wine
Enthusiast 10 Best Wine Travel Destination.
