The heart of Temecula wine country. This iconic road is lined with the valley's most celebrated estates including Wilson Creek, Callaway, Leoness, and Robert Renzoni. It's the most accessible and popular wine touring corridor in Southern California, perfect for a full day of tastings.
The quieter, more scenic alternative. De Portola winds through rolling hills past boutique producers including Hart Winery, Palumbo Family, Briar Rose, and Fazeli Cellars. Known for its rustic charm and intimate tasting rooms with a more laid-back vibe.
A connecting corridor that links Rancho California and De Portola, passing several hidden gems including Doffo Winery and Europa Village — a European-inspired estate with Tuscan-style architecture and a genuinely memorable tasting experience.
Not traditional wine country, but a great way to cap your day. Old Town's charming main street features tasting rooms, wine bars, craft beer, live music venues, and excellent restaurants. A walkable hub perfect for dinner after a full day in the vineyards.

Do yourself a favor and call Destination Drivers when you need a wine tour of the region. Booking was instant and the office reached out to us quickly to link us with our driver. Awesome experience."
"Sean was super responsive and easy to work with. Bruno was our driver and he was fantastic! He arrived on time and was very professional. He had some great recommendations for wineries in Temecula and was super flexible with our day. Felt very safe with him driving our car. Great way to do wine tasting while staying safe!"
"Bruno was great!! He was early to pick us up so that he could get the car ready. He was polite and kind and happy to change plans as needed. We will definitely book through Destination Drivers the next time we need a ride to experience the wineries."
