Temecula sits in southwest Riverside County, where rolling hills and afternoon ocean breezes support Southern California’s best-known wine region. Dozens of wineries line Rancho California Road and De Portola Road, many with restaurants, inns and event spaces, and Old Town Temecula’s false-front buildings recall the area’s stagecoach and ranching past. Beyond wine and tourism, the city has grown into a sizable community with manufacturing, medical device and health care employers, and the Pechanga Resort Casino is one of the largest in the West.

Temecula lies roughly an hour from San Diego and Orange County and more from Los Angeles, but traffic on Interstate 15 and the 91 can easily double those times on a Friday. French Valley Airport sits just north of the city, so you can fly directly in from the Bay Area, Las Vegas or Phoenix and be in a tasting room within minutes. Visitors book sunrise hot-air balloon flights over the vineyards, play golf at the area’s resort courses and spend evenings in Old Town’s restaurants and saloons.

When to go. Spring brings green hills and pleasant temperatures, and the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival fills the skies in late spring or early June. Harvest runs from August through October, when wineries host crush events. Summers are hot in the afternoons, so mornings are best for balloon flights and outdoor activities.
