Like so many things last year, this trip with my besties from college got canceled in the wake of a global pandemic. We actually had it planned for this same time last year, and we at first pushed it back two weeks.
Remember when we all thought this whole craziness would only last two weeks?! Anyhow, after a few more times planning, canceling, and replanning, we finally made it happen. You may be wondering, of all of the places, why Temecula?
It is a bit off the beaten path as far as wine-tasting destinations go. Located in Southern California, just inland of San Diego, its semi-arid region is actually perfect for growing grapes. And it was fun to try something different and just hang with friends in the beautiful California sunshine. For our girl group, one of our friends actually lives in Southern California and has been to the area several times previously for wine tasting.
For those of us in the group who live in Arizona, Temecula was still totally driveable. And our one friend on the east coast was willing to take a flight to meet us. So it was decided! But first, let me answer the most-asked question of the group, which was: what about our cutie little rental we stayed in?
Situated on a small wine property as a separate casita, it had such a great layout for our group but was far enough from the main house to still feel private.
