Emerald Creek Winery, Warner Springs

From the north slope of Palomar Mountain, Emerald Creek Winery provides expansive views of rolling hills and verdant acreage. But nature isn't the only draw here—there's also the wine. With more than three decades of experience creating wine in the Temecula Valley, winemaker Mike Tingley produces vino ranging from traditional cabernet sauvignon to a delightfully fruity Muscat Canelli. Guests can reap the rewards of his labor while looking out on the land that made it all possible inside Emerald Creek's 5,000 square-foot tasting room.
