This Saturday and Sunday, January 30 & 31, 2016 from 11:00am to 4:00pm each day there will be wine tasting madness in the valley & I cannot wait to attend! Even though I will only be able to attend on Sunday, I know it will be a blast, as all events I have attended in Temecula!  Have you ever been to wine country in Temecula, California? If not, this is a great opportunity because at the Barrel Tasting, the wineries showcase their newest wines and pair them with food samples as well!  Different wineries will be participating on each day of this event. Each day there will be 16 wineries included on your tasting journey!! To see the list of all wineries participating on each day of this event, see schedule below.

There are currently more than 70 growers’ farm vineyards throughout Temecula Valley, selling fruit primarily to Temecula Valley wineries.   With a warm climate similar to Napa Valley’s, Temecula Valley is particularly well suited to growing grapes such as syrah, viognier, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, zinfandel and tempranillo; however, more than two dozen grape varieties thrive in the region, including sauvignon blanc, malbec, riesling, chardonnay and many others. Temecula Valley regularly has wineries that participate in and receive awards at different wine competitions. With over 40 wineries now in Temecula Valley, as well as more than 40 distinct grapes in the valley, there is a great variety of wine!
