Convenient Southern California Location
Unlike Northern California’s wine regions, Temecula Valley is just a short drive from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. This central location makes it easy for guests to attend without the need for extensive travel or overnight accommodations, though many boutique hotels and charming inns nearby offer lodging options for out-of-town visitors.
