After living in San Diego for 3 years, I would frequent Temecula for wine tasting. This was prior to my true love for wine developed but I learned quickly what I liked or didn’t in that area. One of my favorites was Leoness Cellars even back when they were Leonesse! A friend and I got to experience their signature tasting when I was gifted this wine experience!
We started off with a private tasting of the estate wines paired with chocolate and cheese.
We moved on to a tour of the vineyard, production area and then to the barrel room to continue tasting
It was a beautiful fall day, mid harvest

You can see the small groupings of the grapes
