You step onto the air‑conditioned van in Newport Beach and watch coastal light give way to rolling, sun‑browned hills as you head inland. Vine rows march up gentle slopes, and oak-studded ridgelines keep the late‑afternoon breeze brisk; by the time you reach Old Town Temecula, the day smells of coffee and baking—an easy gateway into a full day of tastings and hilltop views.
