A 25-acre Calle Contento property run by fourth-generation Peltzer farmers — Crush House tasting room, food trucks, Saturday petting farm, and seasonal pumpkin patch and ice rink.

A true estate winery on De Portola, planted entirely to Italian varietals — Aglianico, Primitivo, Falanghina — with a scratch-pasta osteria attached.

A 40-acre De Portola estate built on the valley's oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines, planted in 1972 — plus a deeper-than-expected Tempranillo and Cab Franc lineup.

A small family-run estate on the quieter De Portola hill trail, with a Bordeaux- and Italian-leaning red lineup and an on-site grill that turns a tasting into lunch.

A De Portola Wine Trail estate making the strongest Rhône-style reds in Temecula. The hilltop patio has one of the best valley views, and the on-site restaurant pairs intentionally with the estate's lineup.

A Spanish-leaning boutique cellar at the far end of De Portola Road, with Tempranillo, Garnacha, Monastrell, and Albariño made in a fresher Old-World style. Spanish-courtyard architecture, panoramic patio views, and weekend food trucks.

A De Portola Wine Trail Italian-varietal estate with a Tuscan-styled tasting room, an on-site Trattoria, and a Sangiovese-Montepulciano-Brut Rosé lineup that holds up against more famous trail neighbors.

The De Portola contrarian — Rhône and Spanish varietals, wines fermented in buried Qvevri clay amphorae, walk-in friendly, and one of the only Temecula wineries doing genuinely unconventional fermentation.

The only natural-wine producer in Temecula Valley, in a small Old Town tasting room. Skin-contact whites, pét-nats, low-intervention reds — and the only winery in town you can walk to from dinner.

The most resort-forward winery in Temecula — 60 vineyard bungalows, a spa, and the valley's deepest traditional-method sparkling program on 109 sustainable acres.

An ambitious Old World-themed wine resort with three separate tasting rooms representing Spanish, Italian, and French wine regions. The Tempranillo and Albariño from the Spanish-themed Bolero are the under-rated headlines.

One of Temecula's original wineries, founded in 1980, with a deep Rhône and Mediterranean varietal lineup poured inside the working winery itself.

A family-run Italian-influenced estate with the strongest Sangiovese and Super Tuscan program in Temecula, plus a Tuscan-style hotel and restaurant on the property.

The fairytale-themed garden winery in South Temecula built around a life-size Snow White's Cottage by a Disney imagineer, with a seated reservation-only tasting and a setting unlike anywhere else in the valley.

A serious Argentine-influenced family estate in South Temecula with a Malbec program, an old-vine Zinfandel, and the most respected reserve reds in the valley. Plus a vintage motorcycle museum on site, because Marcelo Doffo collects bikes.

The big-red specialist on Via Del Ponte — Cabernet, Syrah, Zinfandel, Italian varietals, and the cult-followed Crowded blend. Open seven days a week with on-site Pizzaly pizza and a real reserve program.
