About Temecula Valley
Temecula Valley is Southern California's premier wine destination, drawing 3.4 million visitors annually and generating over $1.1 billion in economic impact. Located in Riverside County, the valley's Mediterranean climate, warm days, and cool nights create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Viognier, and a growing range of Mediterranean varieties.
Situated at elevations between 1,400 and 2,000 feet in Riverside County, Temecula Valley benefits from the Rainbow Gap, a natural break in the coastal mountains that channels cool Pacific breezes into the valley each afternoon. This moderating influence allows grapes to ripen fully while retaining the acidity that gives Temecula wines their freshness. The region has more than 40 wineries, many offering estate experiences with restaurants, accommodations, and events. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Viognier are the region's signature varieties, and the valley has become a major destination for wine tourism from the Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas.
