Late afternoon light washes the rolling rows of Temecula wine country in warm gold as the tour bus eases onto a vineyard lane. Glasses clink; the air smells of grass, crushed grape skins and distant citrus. This four-stop tasting tour moves deliberately from sunlit patios to cellar doors, offering roughly a bottle’s worth of wine (about 24+ oz) across curated flights and a personal charcuterie box to match.
