About this trip
Join us for a ladies trip to sunny Southern California to taste the delicious wines of Temecula during the Fall harvest season while staying in a gorgeous Mediterranean-style villa with a heated pool. This stunning 7,200-square-foot property offers all the luxuries you'd expect for a perfect girls' wine trip. In addition to wine tasting (of course!), we'll be adding in some Chicas Abroad adventure activities with a sunrise hot air balloon ride and a whale watching excursion off the coast of San Diego searching out the majestic blue whales!
Activity Level: Easy
We will be walking through the vineyards to enjoy wine-tasting and climbing in and out of a hot air balloon basket, but that's it. This is a very relaxing adventure with minimal physical activity. Although, there will be ample opportunity to walk around the beautiful grounds and surrounding areas of our villa in the hills of Temecula wine country.
Weather
The weather in Temecula in September is beautiful with average highs of 89°F and lows of 63°F. A perfect time for escaping reality and enjoying fine wine in a beautiful location!
