7 Best Temecula Winery Hotels For an Incredible Weekend

Wine may have put Temecula, California on the map. Adding in its fascinating history, majestic landscapes, exquisite cuisine, and friendly people makes this an ideal weekend destination. Mother Nature has truly blessed this delightful Southern California community nestled among the surrounding hills and mountains. And in this abundance of beauty, you will find some wonderful Temecula winery hotels and stunning vacation rentals that will make your trip to Temecula truly incredible.

No matter what you do in the Temecula area, a stay in the wine country provides a most unforgettable experience. Temecula Valley welcomes more than two million visitors a year. Not bad for a region that planted its first grapevine barely 50 years ago. 

Of course, I love going wine tasting in Temecula, but when I stay at one of the beautiful Temecula Winery Hotels, it takes the whole experience to another level. I love waking up and taking an early morning walk among the vineyards during sunrise. It is one of my favorite romantic getaways from San Diego. And then the fact that I don’t have to worry about drinking and driving is another bonus as to why I love spending a night or two in Temecula.
