Private Temecula Wine Tour with Sommelier: 17+ Tastings

Taste through three wineries at your own pace, guided by a sommelier in a private vehicle.

Your sommelier adjusts the itinerary based on your preferences, whether you want boutique wineries, hidden gems, or simply a slower pace. Pickup and drop-off included. Minimum age 21.

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel or location, then you settle into a private, air-conditioned SUV with your sommelier guide. From there, the itinerary is yours to shape. Falkner Winery sits high above the vineyards with sweeping panoramic views and a spacious patio where you can relax between tastings. Akash Winery offers a more refined, contemporary atmosphere with clean design and comfortable seating overlooking the vines. Danza del Sol brings an easygoing, social vibe with shaded outdoor spaces: the kind of place where the pace slows down on a weekday and the focus is on enjoying the moment without pressure.

What makes this different is the flexibility built in. Your sommelier works with you to hit the wineries that match your mood and interests. If you want to explore boutique producers like Chapin or discover hidden gems like Somerset, those stops can replace the standard lineup. If you'd rather linger longer at one winery or move through the day more quickly, the schedule bends to fit. The 17+ tastings happen across your chosen stops, and the sommelier walks you through each wine (varietals, blends, what to look for) without the rush you'd feel on a larger group tour.

The whole experience runs about four and a half hours from pickup to drop-off. Weekday visits mean fewer crowds at each winery, so you get more personal attention from the tasting room staff and time to actually absorb the views and the wines. Your sommelier speaks English or German, and the focus throughout is on creating a seamless day that feels like it was built just for your group.
