Golden vineyards, crisp autumn air, and grape-stained feet mark the arrival of fall in Temecula Valley.

The region’s favourite season kicks off in September with California Wine Month, inviting visitors to experience lively grape stomps, fascinating winemaking tours, and mouthwatering harvest dinners, along with family-fun activities like pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and outdoor events.

“Fall is when Temecula Valley comes alive with gratitude and celebration,” said Annette Brown, interim CEO of Visit Temecula Valley. “From the friendly competition of a grape stomp to the picturesque beauty of an al fresco dinner at sunset, this is the season that brings families, friends, and wine lovers together to celebrate everything that makes Temecula Valley so special.”

Stomp, Sip, and Celebrate during California Wine Month

Temecula Valley honours Wine Month with a full slate of tastings, tours, live entertainment, and farm-to-table experiences at local wineries. Visitors can crush grapes underfoot, take a hot air balloon flight over the vines, and toast the harvest with a glass of estate-grown wine.
