Preview: Temecula's Sunny Valley is the closest thing Southern California has to Northern California’s Napa Valley or even the Santa Ynez Valley of the central coast. It’s also a bit of a surprise for first-time visitors. Once you drive past the sprawling tract-home developments of this bedroom community an hour north of San Diego, you quickly find yourself surrounded by acres of rolling hillsides carpeted with vineyards and citrus groves. Wineries here are small and intimate, and when the two of you visit a tasting room, you’re likely to find the owners themselves pouring samples. Temecula Valley is just coming into its own as a wine-growing region—it’s still very much the new kid on the block in enological circles. While this getaway highlights the region’s vintages and great food, you’ll see there’s also another, more down-home side to Temecula. If you believe warm sun and fine wine are the ideal ingredients for a romantic retreat, you’ll be seduced by Temecula’s charms. This chapter is a true insiders’ guide revealing great nightlife, romantic hotels, intimate dining venues, secluded retreats, and much more.
