Here are nine things you’ll NEED in order to put together a fantastic Temecula wine tour for your bachelorette or special event.
Start Planning Early
The most popular Temecula wine tour experiences sell out well in advance, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall) and on weekends. 1 – Get a Suit! Early planning also allows your group more time to schedule guests, lock down guest lists and budget accordingly.
Select the right Wine Tour Package
Temecula has a range of different wine tour package options available from private tours to group tours and custom tours. Think about group size, budget and desired level of exclusivity. Private tours provide flexibility and privacy; group tours can be economical, as well as more sociable. Some companies even specialize in girlish bachelorette parties and will set up decorations, add music and games.
Pick Wineries That Suit Your Group’s Vibe
Every winery is not the same. Some are polished, upscale experiences; others are more casual, party-ready provocations. Do some research of the wineries before you go and choose 3-4 that match your group’s style. Group favorites for bachelorette parties tend to be Wilson Creek (they basically invented almond champagne), Ponte, and South Coast. If your group prefers a more intimate, boutique experience, Temecula’s wine country has plenty of hidden gems to discover.
Book Safe and Stylish Transportation
Safe transportation is something you’ll definitely want when wine tasting, and fortunately, Temecula offers multiple ways to get to the vineyards. There are many other popular options for limousines, party buses and luxury vans for bachelorette parties. Transportation is often built into Temecule wine tours packages, so you and your friends and family can all have a good time and not worry about who’s driving home. Make sure you look for a licensed and insured operator for peace of mind.
Plan Fun Extras for the Day

Schedule Breaks and Meals
