TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA
centrally located between Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside and Palm Springs
Snow capped mountains to the east, the pacific coast to the west, a landscape of lush rolling hills and a climate of ocean swept air, this is Temecula, southern California’s wine country.
The word Temecula is from the Lucano Indian language which means “Valley of the Sun”.
Temecula is an area with magnificent natural splendor, steeped in rich history and covered with beautiful vineyards. Temecula has numerous world class resorts and casinos, a wealth of activities, sports, entertainment and historic old town. Old town Temecula maintains it’s original wild west architecture and is full of antique specialities, restaurants, museums and boutique stores. Temecula is also home to the world famous Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival.
Temecula looks amazing from the air! As the sun begins to rise, you’ll float over luxurious resorts, estate wineries, orchards and ranches - surrounded by beautiful lakes and seasonally snow capped mountains. You’ll see an abundance of wildlife thanks to the natural landscape and rolling hills. Clear days will provide views of the pacific ocean and our local islands.
