Temecula

Today, on the advice of the matron of honor who went to college in southern California and who's husband is from this area, we went to Temecula which was inland from Oceanside. Our group included me and three millennials. Our first stop was the Lumiere Winery which is a small, family run operation. The lady, the mother of the manager, knew much about wines. We enjoyed sharing samples of three white and three red wines.

Then we literally went across the rural road to Akash Winery which is a bigger operation with many more employees. Again we samples 3 white wines, one rose, and two red wines. We also ate a small pizza.

After that we drove to old town Temecula which is very touristy. We walked around the old town at the shops and stores. We had dinner before heading home. All in all we had a great day. The road between Oceanside and Temecula is scenic with hills and valleys dotted by large white boulders.
