Raise a Glass in Temecula Valley This California Wine Month

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.
