    Temecula wine tour
    The tour guides were great, and very friendly. When I booked the tour I chose it for the itinerary of wineries that we were supposed to go to, specifically Mount Palomar winery. Upon arrival we were told we were going to three totally different places. Why would the listing be different then where we actually went. I was told they haven’t been going to Mount Palomar for months. I only booked the tour in June, so why haven’t they updated the details? Also, at the first winery, Falkner, we did not feel like the employee serving us was very attentive. You can find a shorter tour than this to visit 3 wineries. 5.5 hours is too long. They drop you off, pick up another group and return about 1.5 hours later. It doesn’t take 90 minutes for six tastings. The last place we went had good wine, but no seating. So standing for about an hour before finally getting a seat is not optimal. They should have an area reserved for the tours. This is my second trip with So Cal Tours. First time was great, the guide stayed with us and didn’t take 5 hours, this second trip was a bit disappointing.

    A Must-Do Experience!
    What a great experience! I went with a group of teachers and we wanted to book an all-inclusive wine tasting experience to kick off the summer. We are so happy we booked with SoCal Wines! The staff was amazing and super accommodating. We were able to make a change to the wineries we visited. They were also very quick to get back to us with questions we had. I’ve been on many wine tasting excursions in Temecula and this by far was the best. Everyone was so nice, lunch was great, and we had the best time. Definitely will book again!

    Party bus was a PARTY
    We did the Late Bird tour which hits 3 wineries and departs at 2:30 and goes until 7:30. I initially thought 3 wineries for 3 hours? But the timing works out great. And the last winery has music and a dance floor and a fun party vibe. The bus itself was a huge highlight because the guides are so fun and encourage everyone to Party! Music dancing the whole thing!

    Lovely afternoon
    It was a really lovely afternoon, unlike any wine tour we had done before. There were 5 or 6 tastings at each winery, and a really long stay at each one. It was so relaxing to just sit outside and sip a variety of wines. The tour operators were lovely, though for the most part they just escorted you from one winery to the next and you were on your own. The stopover with the lunch was interesting - we highly recommend the charcuterie board - it was excellent. We were very glad we went, and really enjoyed ourselves.

    The warm welcome from each winery was great! Calvin our driver took care of all the details and made sure we got the most out of each place. Highly reccomend lunch so you can sit and enjoy the views! Time went by too fast! Celebrating our moms 80th on the tour was the best choice!

    Amazing Birthday Wine Trip
    The driver, Calvin, had the best energy and personality. He made every part of the experience extra fun. We enjoyed the tastings and the tours at each place. Lunch was not quite what we were looking for, in terms of meals being served in plastic, but the food was decent.

    I celebrated my 33rd birthday with a trip to the vineyards. The entire experience was amazing. From the bus ride to the wine tasting, food, and music. My friends and I had the most amazing time. The staff were so nice and welcoming. You’ve found yourself lifelong customers

    Incredible Day Trip and Tour
    The selections of wines at the Lorenzi and Callaway Vineyards were outstanding!! We loved the atmosphere in those places, as well. The 2nd stop was fine but the wines were not as good as the other two places. The tour guide, Moses, was awesome. He did a great job of taking us on the tour and explained everything in detail and was very informative. He was great...and the new friends we made were awesome, too. Great TIME...GREAT FUN....well worth taking this tour.

    Pleasant experience start to finish.
    So Cal Wine Tours was great with communicating the process and coordinating all of the details for our tour. Great communication really seals the deal with me. We had a super nice tour guide and driver as well, they did everything to make us comfortable, make sure we were enjoying ourselves and keep us cool in the relentless heat. Unfortunately, I left a bottle of wine behind and although it couldn’t be located, Moses - the owner of So Cal Wine Tours, provided outstanding service and compassion for the situation and took steps to rectify. If ever in Temecula again, I will certainly book my wine tasting tours with them. Great team of good people Thank You So Cal Wine Tours! 😄

    Best tour I have ever been on, a MUST DO!!
    We were in town for vacation and really wanted to do a special wine tour. We came across This wine tour company and Lawrence and we had the absolute best experience! The winds were delicious the foods were incredible and the company is second to none! We’ve been all around the world participating in tours and this by far has been our best experience yet! I highly recommend them!!!

Saw a Jesse Cook concert (with a bottle of delicious red) at Thornton Winery, stayed a day to sample more wines. Went to Wilson Creek and Doffo wineries. Wilson seems to cater to larger groups, is well known for their sparkling wines and white wines (but they do have reds). We enjoyed all we tasted. Doffo drew us for their large Italian motorcycle collection but their wines were great too. Its a complete Italian experience that I highly recommend. We had dinner at the Goat & Vine which came highly recommended. Excellent! Their pizza was one of the best we've ever had - washed it down with a glass of Doffo Syrah. Delicious. Note, the tastings and the bottles available for sale are all up there in price. More than I expected. Going to more than 2-3 wineries with bottle purchases at each could really add up.

Thanks for the review but you have the wrong company. We don't go to any of these wineries you mentioned in your review (Thorton, Wilson, and Doffo). If you don't mind, please remove it because if a potential customer reads it, the review could become misleading. Thank you. Management

Moses was awesome and incredibly accommodating on our tour we took for my Wife’s 30th birthday. He offered to take photos of our group and at each stop was helpful in letting us all know how the tasting process went at each particular winery. He even brought out a small cheesecake with a candle for us so we could sing happy birthday. He was timely, professional, and an all around great guy. We never felt rushed, he made the whole experience seamless. Awesome vibes the whole time. 100% would recommend, thanks Moses for a great tour!

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.

It was very relaxing and scenic! I loved the tour! Our tour guides were super friendly and helpful. We played our own music on the bus and they even gave me a personal cake for my birthday. I would definitely book again. We had a lot of fun!

I expected more out of this wine tasting tour. I understand that no tour should be the same, however I believe that a tour should feel like just that: a tour! There was more tasting than touring, which may be all that a lot of people want anyway, but I was hoping to (safely) get out into at least one of the vineyards to take a closer look. The first stop allowed us to lounge while experts brought each round of wine to us. That was nice and i have no qualms with it. The second stop was mostly about eating lunch and the wine tasting was more like a self service ordeal. At that stop, it was easy to feel like you had to gorge yourself with your lunch and then try to chug samples of wine if the line wasn't too long. It felt rushed and too improvised. Our guide and driver were very nice, but they were running two tours at the same time, and it was noticeable. The last stop was the only one the felt like a tour, as the son of one of the owners gave us a brief but educational tour of their winery. It was at that stop that I saw a lot of what I was expecting: touring while tasting while getting to know about the winery and it's wine. Sole suggestion, if possible, allow guests to see more of the three vineyards on the tour. It just might enhance the experience.

Dear Summer, Thanks for your review. It sounds like you had an enjoyable experience on a busy Saturday in Wine Country, which is normal in the industry. Please understand that since Wine Country is so busy on Saturdays, we are limited to what we are able to do as far as galavanting throughout the vineyards. The seated hosted serving that you received at the first stop is preplanned to keep things moving at a very busy boutique winery which we like to show our customers before they go to the next two wineries, which are much larger in both size and wine production. If we don't streamline the first winery with the staffed poured tastings at your table, your 75 minute wine tasting experience at your first stop would turn into a 2 hour stop due to the small size of the boutique winery. Regarding lunch at the second winery, we have to streamline that as well on Saturdays by having our customers pre-order their meals with us, otherwise that too would become a very long stop simply due to amount of traffic in Wine County on a Saturday. Even with the third stop, which we are happy to hear you enjoyed, that is in a way streamlined as well on Saturdays, as you receive your first pour upon arrival, your next two pours with a tour guide provided by the winery, and the last two pours via tasting tickets for you to use at your discretion. All of our wine tours are normally 5 hours long, however, Saturdays has its limitations due to heavy traffic in Wine Country which then forces us to have to streamline our wine tours a bit more, otherwise the tour would easily turn into 7 hours, which would certainly then bring about many complaints that the tour was too long and that it took too long to get wine tastings. We hope you come again, and if your do, we recommened trying us next time anyday between Sunday - Friday, when you will surely get more time to wander around the vineyards a bit more and receive extra attention from the staff at each of the wineries. Lastly, we did want to mention that based on your review (which came across very positive from our perspective), that we felt it was deserving of four stars as opposed to the three stars which you left. If you feel the same or if you mistakely clicked on three stars instead of four, we would be very grateful if you would take the time to make the correction, as we value our rating very much. Thank you for your patronage and we hope to see you again sometime soon! Sincerely, Socal Wine Tours :)

I recently went on a tour with my girlfriends and it was amazing. We had a party of 10 people, but we were able to make our tour private by purchasing 2 non drinker tickets to reach the minimum 12 person requirement. The staff was super friendly and made sure that we had all our wine tastings and food we pre-ordered at each stop. The wineries were beautiful. Our favorite was the first winery called Masia de la Vinya. They offered table service while we were able to sit and enjoy the beautiful views while experiencing our wine tastings. Will definitely come back again!

Usually a good time when you're sampling wine all day. Enjoyed the people we were with, driver was good, didn't see him much unless it was driving to and from wineries and/or drop off / pick up. 4 stars as there a 20% service fee ($45) that they charge you at the very end. Read the fine print. I'd rather pay more up front vs being asked about it after a day of drinking...kind of felt like "$45 for your ride back". .The other people we were with kinda felt the same. Other than that it was fun.

The wine tour was amazing. We went to three different locations to wine taste, however, our third stop was not a free wine tasting. SoCal did provide us a $30 dollar credit for that location where you could spend it on wine or food which I spent it on food & the food was delicious.

Calvin was awesome! I’d say that he was the difference maker. Attentive to all of us not just by getting us started, but he continually checked in ensuring that we had a great time, even made some wine tasting recommendations. Between wineries he offered each guest a cold bottle of water. Even after his job was “done” he stayed after with us to ensure that we received the service that we deserved. This proved to be necessary as the wait staff was slammed! A+, I’d booked it again with SoCal Wines.

Moses the Boss Man was the best highlight of our experience. He was so accommodating and made sure that we were well taken care of throughout our whole day! He made our experience so memorable and made sure we had plenty of pictures taken, music playing, and water throughout her day. Thank you so much SoCal Wine Tours we will definitely be back!
