The Temecula Valley developed as an agricultural corridor tied to 19th-century ranching and later the railroad; modern viticulture expanded in the late 20th century as growers exploited the valley’s warm days and cooling evening marine influence.
Conservation
Many local wineries practice water-efficient farming and integrated pest management; visitors are encouraged to follow leave-no-trace principles and avoid single-use plastics when possible.
