What To Expect

Danza del Sol Winery

Wine Tour (De Portola Trail - Daily) Late Bird Tour (Saturday Only) Danza del Sol is the first stop of our Traditional Wine Tour. It's a boutique winery and was the first winery built on De Portola Road in the 1970's. For the 11 am and 11:45 am tours, we always try to arrange a mini production tour so our customers can learn a little bit about the wine making process and the different fermentations wine goes through between stainless steel vessels and oak barrels.

Somerset Vineyard and Winery

Wine Tour (De Portola Trail - Daily) Late Bird Tour (Saturday Only) Night Out Tour (Friday & Saturday) Somerset Winery is where we arrange a production tour for every time slot of our Traditional Wine Tour. Someset is unique because is it the only winery in southern California (and one of only 8 wineries in the U.S.) which produce wine through the ancient terra-cotta process which started in Persia over 8,000 years ago. The process involves fermentation inside large clay vessels which avoids producing tannins from the traditional oak barrels, and instead gives the wine a more all-natural taste. Many wine enthusiasts say that this is the most pure way to make wine, but you will have to determine that for yourself once your take our wine tour!

Lorenzi Estate Vineyards and Winery

Rancho Cal Wine Tour (Saturday Only) You will receive a seated, hosted tastings at Lorenzi Estates, a premier winery in Temecula which has the most 90+ point scores in all of Wine Country.

Can’t say enough good things about this wine tour!! We booked late and everyone was really accommodating. You can pick your own tunes which helped make the vibes bop. Moses was wonderful and got us the best seats at all the wineries. Even though it wasn’t included, he dropped us off at our Airbnb at the end of the night. SO GREAT. A true gem. Would 100% go again, just need to find a weekend that works!

I booked SoCal Wine tours for my friends 50th birthday. Let’s just say that I can not rave enough about how well Moses and his staff (Jessie and Emmanuel) took care of us yesterday. We were a group of 6 arranged to be picked up at our hotel. Even though on the website it says for groups of 12+. Moses made it happen. They were prompt and very responsive to all our needs. The moment we met Jessie and Emmanuel, you can tell they were just as excited to meet us just as we were. Inside the vehicle you are given water and an iPad to even play your own playlist. At our first stop Emmanuel laid out the ground rules for the wineries and communicated times of picks up. Emmanuel was so nice that he even suggested taking pictures of the group at each stop. At our second stop we were greeted by the Owner Moses, who I was in communication with from the time I had booked this tour. I can see where his staff gets their kindred spirit from. You can tell his energy trickles down to his staff, welcoming us upon meeting him and giving the birthday celebrant a shout out. As we were seated at the restaurant for our second tasting. Emmanuel came back around and dropped off individual waters at the table for us to hydrate and cool off. We finally were at our last destination and the views were breathtaking just as Emmanuel described. We were sad to have to end the tour. But here is a big shout out to our driver, Jessie and Emmanuel. If you're looking to book a wine tour. I highly recommend booking with SoCal Wine Tours. No wonder they are credited with a 5 rating. Thank you once again Moses, Jessie and Emmanuel.

I would never use Viator again. My fault for not doing more research, but I trusted that the website would not give false information. Viator's website says they will price match if the tour is found anywhere at a cheaper price. This is not true. This particular wine tour is $10 cheaper per person on the direct website. 6 of us went, so I was expecting a refund of $60. When I called, the woman on the phone did not accommodate and acted like I made that policy up. The actual wine tour was fun, but of course being in a pandemic, you get a glass of wine instead of multiple tastings at most of the places, which is not at all like my previous experience in Temecula. It was like 92 degrees and the A/C in the tour bus didn't work. It is also definitely not a luxury vehicle as described! Overall, would like my money back honestly. I did the cable car tour last trip to Temecula and it was way more fun and worth the money.

Dear Mar, The review which you have left is 100% clearly a review about your experience using Viator and not about your experience with our tour company. If you could please be so kind, we are asking that you repost your review about your experience using Viator in a different forum, as it was not intended for our company. You can copy your review and paste it here: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.viator.com , as this would be the appropriate forum to leave your review about your negative experience using Viator. You are most likely not aware, but your review about your terrible experience using Viator is negatively impacting our company's rating. You stated in your review that "THE ACTUAL WINE TOUR WAS FUN". This validates that the negative experience which you are describing is how you were treated by Viator and their customer service representative. We are really sorry for what they may have put you through, but please note that we are not affiliated with Viator. Viator is simply a 3rd party company which resells our tours, no different than Expedia, Trip Advisor, and Google. Once again, we would be very grateful if you would kindly take down your review about your negative experience with Viator and repost it in the review forum we provided above. Your review is negatively affecting our company's 5-star rating, and we feel that it is not fair for us to be on the receiving end of a 1-star review which was not intended for our company. Thank you very much in advance! We hope you receive our reply and that you will be so kind to help us out with our request. Most sincerely, Lawrence Moses :)
