Temecula Wine Country

Looking for another local getaway in times of Covid we found an AirBnB in Temecula.

It was perfectly situated in the middle of vineyards, within walking distance of wineries and a short drive to Front Street in Old Temecula, where safe outdoor dining was available.

The first morning my camera fell in love with the shadows made by the trellis outside

There were many aesthetic details within footsteps of the house

Early in the morning we could see the hot air balloons taking off and returning

It was interesting to see the wine fields dormant.

The twisted vines looked almost sinister.

We visited several wineries for some tastings. Bottaia had excellent wines and was a beautiful location

Wilson Creek Winery was a short walk away and as we left it was approaching sunset, making for some golden moments.

And a lovely sunset walking back to our AirBnB

Moon-rise on the vineyard structure near our place

It was windy one day resulting in tumbleweed in the vines

And as always I was on the lookout for cute images that made me smile

On our final day we drove into the nearby mountains to Idyllwild to see what that area was like. The mountains are not as high as the Sierras, but there were still lovely vistas.

Good bye Temecula, where to next?
