Sip Into California Wine Month in Temecula Valley

Hey, wine lovers! It’s time to raise a glass (or several) to California Wine Month in Temecula Valley. While we’re still soaking up the summer sun, the Temecula Winegrowers are already buzzing about the grape-tastic events coming our way this September.

You’ll want to clear your calendar for these wine-derful happenings!

SIP, Sip Hooray!

Temecula’s famous SIP Passport just got a fancy upgrade. Now you can snag the SIP Reserve Wine Tasting Passport for $100, giving you VIP access to three reserve tastings at participating wineries.

If you’re more of a classic wine sipper, the original SIP Passport is still up for grabs at $75, offering five standard tastings. It’s like a treasure map for wine enthusiasts!

CRUSH 2024: Wine, Dine, and Shine

Mark your calendars for September 7, because CRUSH 2024 is coming to town! Hosted by Monte de Oro Winery, this culinary showstopper brings together 30+ Temecula wineries and local eateries.

Rub elbows with winery bigwigs, sip on award-winning vinos, and groove to live tunes. It’s basically Coachella for wine lovers, minus the flower crowns.

A Taste of Europe in Temecula

On September 15, get ready for a European vacation without the jet lag! The 3rd Annual Great Taste of Europa Wine & Food Festival is bringing the flavors of Italy and Greece right to our backyard. With over 50 European wines to sample and a dedicated beer and spirits garden, it’s a passport-free trip across the pond.

Stomp Your Heart Out at Ponte Winery

Channel your inner Lucy Ricardo on September 22 at Ponte Winery’s 22nd Annual Grape Stomp. This harvest-themed Italian dinner party comes with a side of grape-stomping competition.

Yes, you’ll actually get to squish grapes with your bare feet! It’s messy, it’s fun, and it’s the perfect excuse to play with your food (or drink).

See you there!

So, fellow wine enthusiasts, it’s time to plan your September sipping schedule for California Wine Month. These events are happening from September 7 through the 22, giving you plenty of time to swirl, sniff, and savor your way through Temecula Valley. Don’t miss out on this cork-popping celebration of all things wine!

See you there, San Diego!
