I booked this as a surprise New Years thing for me and my girl to attend. She loves wine and I enjoy drinking it as well.
I must say that this was an exceptional and memorable experience. Especially being my first wine tour/tasting event. The estate is phenomenal! Architecturally authentic, well kept, and beautifully arraigned.
Our tour guide, Preston, was so knowledgeable, very personable, genuine, and exuded such positive energy and a deep love of the craft of wine making. The pride he had in being a sommelier was clearly shown in the depth of his knowledge as he explained the various wines, their histories, the making of, and how food pairings can elevate both the food and the wine. We tried many wines that distinctly validated what he shared with us during the course of the tour. His infectious enthusiasm completely enhanced the entire experience.
If you have never been on one, and like wine too, stop procrastinating and treat yourself to an experience that feels extravagant, but isn’t. You could meet some good people too that you might be able to share other experiences with. We did!
I would highly recommend this tour! And do yourself a favor. Ask for Preston as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed!

Great variety and different activities. Enjoyed tasting and learning about how wines are made. Liked making my own. Charcuterie was good.

The tour was very enjoyable and informative. Our tour guide, Derek, was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of explaining all aspects of wine making, from the vines and grapes to the winery process, and why Temecula, CA is such a hot spot for boutique wine making. The wines we tasted were all good and the three pairings that Derek shared with us were enlightening. Overall, an excellent experience. Loved it.

It is very informative and do not expect to see any of the processes given it might not be the time of the day or the season when they do it. I enjoy it very much nonetheless... thank you Mary, you are good !
