Private wine tour to Temecula stopping off at a lovely winery in Fallbrook. Monserate Winery began with a desire to preserve the beauty and integrity of Gird Valley. For 56 years, the beautiful 116-acre property was a public golf course, dotted with 100-year-old oaks and towering sycamore trees. After falling on hard times, the golf course closed. We had a vision to revitalize the land and create something incredible that would also enrich the lives of the surrounding community, and thus, Monserate Winery was born. We have been hard at work to bring this vision to life since 2016 and have made a lot of progress. Today, Monserate’s San Diego county wineries boast breathtaking vineyards, tranquil lakes, and spectacular scenery. Akash Winery & Vineyards is a family-owned boutique winery in Temecula, CA, producing 100% estate-grown wines alongside their Dreamville label the modern 20-acre estate is celebrated for its lively, approachable vibe, great vineyard views, and food and music.

Absolutely Worth It!

Darren was a great guide who customized our experience to ensure we would have the best time! He was great to communicate with leading up to the tour, on time the day of, and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. We loved chatting with him during the drives and thoroughly enjoyed the wineries he brought us to. He made every effort to ensure they would be worth our time and money, and they absolutely were!

Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review Erin, it was great meeting everyone and very happy to hear you enjoyed the wine tour.

Excellent Experience! Darren is the Best

Darren is truly the best! He made our group feel so comfortable and took great care of us. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and come with great recommendations. He guided us to three wineries and all of his recommendations were spot on. The recommendations were a good mix of sophisticated, family-oriented, and a lively environment. He provided snacks and water in the car as well, which made our group very comfortable. I would 100/10 recommend Darren for any group bookings!

Excellent and Personalized Tour

Darren gave us an amazing tour! He adjusted the itinerary to meet our wants and needs, making sure we got the best experience possible! He made sure we were taken care of at each winery, as well as made sure we had water and snacks available throughout our time with him. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. Darren was also so kind and had great conversations with us on the drives. We had such a great time and are looking forward to future tours with him!

Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private): questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.

How much does Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) cost?

+

Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) take?

+

Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.

Is Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private)?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 21. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private)?

+

Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in San Diego?

+

San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit San Diego?

+

March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in San Diego?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private)?

+

Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Snacks; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 41 listed pickup locations in and around San Diego. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) offered in?

+

It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private)?

+

Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

What happens to Wine tasting Tour to Temecula from San Diego (Private) if the weather is bad?

+
