CLASSIQUE LIMOUSINES: TRANSPORTATION TO TEMECULA FOR WINE TASTING TOURS

Blessed with gorgeous weather year-round, Temecula is home to nearly 40 wineries and a charming Old Town with unique dining and shopping experiences. Often overshadowed by the wonderful wineries, Temecula also offers artisan foods such as olive oil and cheeses.

Temecula produces some excellent wines. The region’s hot weather results in intense wines – dry whites, sweet dessert wines, fruity Sangiovese and jammy Zinfandels. Sauvignon Blanc is one of the stars among the whites as are Rhone varietals such as Roussanne and Viognier. The Cabernets and Merlots are wonderful however some of the most interesting reds come from the Rhone and Italian varietals such as Syrah, Grenache and Sangiovese. To sample all the region offers, here are a few suggested wineries to visit:

HART FAMILY WINERY

Sample their mouth-watering Sauvignon Blancs, fruity, balanced Sangiovese and the Cabernet Franc with its mild herbal notes. Also try “Three” which blends Grenache, Tempranillo and Syrah in a bright, drinkable wine

BAILY VINEYARD AND WINERY

Their reds are smooth, supple and balanced. Highlights include their Cabernet Franc (packed with silky fruit with a touch of herbs), a full-bodied Merlot and a lovely Meritage.

MOUNT PALOMAR WINERY

Known for producing a varietal Cortese – a white wine grape from the Piedmont region of Italy – this wine is gorgeous, infused with the aromas of flowers and apples with a hint of nutty bitterness in the finish. They offer two stunning dessert wines: the Reserve Port and the Solera Cream Sherry.

WILSON CREEK WINERY & VINEYARDS

Certainly one of the “favorites” for most wine tours of the area, their signature wine is an Almond Champagne, fermented in almond oil. Other offerings to try are their dry Grenache Rose and a peppery, French-style Syrah.

FALKNER WINERY

The Pinnacle Restaurant at the winery offers sweeping views of the valley and great menu. Known for producing semi-sweet red wines, among the favorites is “Luscious Lips” (blend of Syrah and Sangiovese) and an exotic, honeysuckle scented Viognier.
