Temecula Wine Country: Private Chauffeured Winery Tour

Be whisked in private luxury to Temecula Valley's sun-drenched wine country — Southern California's finest wine region — for exclusive small-group tastings at award-winning estates. A world apart from the city, 60 miles inland.

What to expect

Your private luxury vehicle departs the pier and winds inland through citrus groves and rolling hills to Temecula Valley, where over 50 wineries produce acclaimed Syrah, Cabernet, and Viognier. At estates like Leoness Cellars or South Coast Winery, a host guides you through library pours and barrel tastings in hillside caves. An alfresco estate lunch overlooking the vines completes the picture — golden Californian light, cool breezes, and the languorous pleasure of unhurried wine exploration. The return journey is as relaxed as the day demands.

Good to know

The drive to Temecula is approximately 60–70 miles and 1 to 1.5 hours each way — this excursion requires a full day; confirm your all-aboard time carefully. Pre-book the full-day chauffeured package directly with Five Star Tours to guarantee a private vehicle. Advanced reservations at premium estate restaurants are strongly recommended, especially on weekends.
