Day One
Today we depart Phoenix and head towards the beautiful rolling hills of Temecula, California, the largest viticultural region in Southern California. As we ride along roads lined with grape vines, we come upon the beautiful Wilson Creek Winery and Vineyards for our first wine tasting. This family-owned winery started in 1996 by Gerry and Rosie Wilson, who still own and operate the winery with their children and grandchildren. Known for their famous Almond Sparkling Wine (formerly known as Almond Champagne), Gerry is especially proud that Wilson Creek is the unofficial winery of many Navy ships, including eight aircraft carriers. This afternoon we check-in to the Embassy Suites hotel before joining your fellow travelers for an evening reception. The rest of the night is yours for dinner on your own and to rest or explore.
WRDay Two
Enjoy an included breakfast at the hotel before we depart for Carlsbad Flower Fields. Marvel at 55-acres of blooming Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers! This annual burst of color covers the rolling hills of Carlsbad Ranch for six to eight weeks per year. Announcing the arrival of spring, this natural display of beauty is one of the most spectacular in the world! We travel from beautiful flowers to lush citrus groves, as we visit Belle Marie Winery. Our wine tasting will take place in the elegant and expansive Barrel Room. Belle Marie is a small, family-owned and operated boutique winery, with a French-style chateau castle as a centerpiece of their 3.5-acre winery. This afternoon, explore Old Town Temecula on your own. Visit one of the many tasting rooms or craft breweries, discover the quaint boutique shops, or wander through the rustic buildings and storefronts reminiscent of the historic golden west of the 1880s. Join your fellow guests at the hotel for an evening reception, then continue exploring downtown, or choose to relax for the night.
