One-of-a-Kind Temecula Wine Trail Experience

Wine lovers who have wanted to explore the wines of the picturesque De Portola Wine Trail, have an opportunity to get a one-of-a-kind nosh and wine tasting experience on November 3 during the De Portola Wine Trail Harvest Fest.

A limited amount of tickets will be sold to this personalized food and wine experience that features 10 wineries, offering three carefully chosen wines. Each winery expertly pairs their wines with cuisine to enhance the robust flavors of this region.  All tastings include either a barrel or tank sample, and guests often have a chance to talk with the winemakers and winery owners.

This is the slow-paced side of Temecula Valley – Southern California Wine Country. Indulge in an atmosphere of panoramic estate views of vineyards, thoroughbred farms, and rolling hills.  A passion for the grape shines in each of the 10 Harvest Fest wineries.  Here, winery owners tell the stories of their wine-making ancestors, others tell the tales of their passion to have their own winery and vineyards in the Temecula Valley.

Architecture in this valley varies from old-world Italy, to Persian, to European estate, and good old-fashioned ranch. Oak Mountain Winery boasts the area’s only subterranean mined wine cave – large enough for events and perfect wine storage.

As for the boutique wines – finely crafted red varietals along the trail include: Barbera, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Malbec, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel. White wines of the region include Arneis, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Viognier, and Vermentino.
