Three Wineries, One Afternoon—Without Driving

You get picked up from a designated Temecula location, visit three wineries with production tours and 18 ounces of tastings, eat lunch at a premier winery, and return in a limo party bus—all without driving yourself or arranging the logistics. The guide and driver handle the route and timing, which is what makes fitting three stops and lunch into one afternoon possible.

The Experience

You're sober at the wheel, or you're not on the tour. That's the trade most wine tours make you accept. This one removes it entirely. A 2023 limo party bus picks you up from a designated location in Temecula, and for the next several hours, you move between three of the valley's top wineries while someone else navigates the roads. The driver and a guide stay with the group the whole time, which means you taste without keeping one eye on the clock or the odometer.

The three-winery Temecula wine tasting tour hits South Coast, Maurice Carrie, and Somerset on weekends—or Callaway and South Coast on weekdays, depending on which day you book. At each stop, you get a production tour and tastings that add up to 18 ounces of wine, which is three full glasses spread across the afternoon. Somerset is the one that sticks with people: it's the only winery in Southern California fermenting wine in terra-cotta vessels, an 8,000-year-old Persian method that skips the oak barrel tannins entirely. The wine tastes different because it is different. Lunch happens at one of the wineries—Maurice Carrie on weekends, South Coast on weekdays—and you choose what to eat from their menu. Bottled water is on the bus and at each stop, which matters more than it sounds after three tastings.

If a regular wine tasting tour feels too quiet, the Bachelorette Wine Tour runs the same three wineries but starts with champagne at pickup and scales the whole thing up—it requires a minimum of ten guests and is built for groups that want to make noise. The Night Out Tour is different: two wineries instead of three, but it ends with a dinner buffet and live music at Lorimar Winery, plus a glass of wine with the meal. On Friday nights the buffet swaps for a $30 dining credit toward the full menu, and the house adds fifteen percent gratuity automatically. Both tours include the production tour at Somerset, so you still get the terra-cotta story.

The whole thing is adults-only—nobody under 18, including infants. If someone in your group doesn't drink, discounted non-drinker tickets are available after you book on Viator. The limo party bus is the real difference here: it's not a van with a guide talking over the engine noise. It's a vehicle that turns the drive between wineries into part of the experience, which is why groups book it again.
