    Depending on where you live..but I think it is always fun to try something new once and experience it for yourself. I have had fun every time....cannot go wrong tasting wine and enjoying the So. Cal. sun.

      I've always liked Wilson's Almond Champagne. The rest kind of depends on your tastes so how about giving us a few clues about your likes and dislikes.

        I tend to go for sweeter white wines personally and on my last trip out there a few weeks ago, had a great time at Ponte Winery

        IMO, It's a nice way to spend a day !

          not to come off sounding like snob but.....NO. not sure where you are traveling from but if you are in l.a. area...go 2 hr north to pinot country instead

            I was wondering the same thing! What is it like this time of year? Is it still pretty picturesque and worth visiting? Off-season?

              sometimes as early as july to end of august is harvest for most temecula (california) wineries. Right now i bet you could go and you'll see little buds of grape going.

              i went to napa in March and it was sad seeing all the barren grape vines =)

              if you like wine, any winery is worth visiting =)
              temecula's wineries are pretty packed together so its not like napa.

              i just got some wine off wine.woot last week from Stuart Cellars and the people that have tried it already have said its rather excellent.
