A full day in Temecula Valley
Temecula Valley is Southern California's big inland wine destination. Rolling hills, warm afternoons and dozens of tasting rooms sit close together along winding country roads. It is a true getaway day.
It is also a long drive from home. That is exactly why a chauffeur makes sense. Your group can nap, chat or toast on the way out, then ride home without anyone behind the wheel.

Planning your Temecula itinerary
Because of the travel time, most groups book eleven to fourteen hours door to door. Some turn it into an overnight trip instead. Either way, a little planning keeps the day relaxed.
- Pick three or four wineries. They sit close together, so transfers are short.
- Most tasting rooms open in the late morning and close in the early evening, so time your arrival.
- Reserve tastings and lunch ahead, especially on Saturdays.
- Pack snacks and water for the ride, plus a cooler for bottles you buy.
Staying the night? We can drop you at your hotel and return the next day for the ride home. Just ask when you plan.
