    Inside the winery

    My delightful husband treated me to this tour for my birthday. And it was one of the best gifts I've received to date. It was very lively, informative and just a great time. I learned so much about wines and wines too! There were so many learning opportunities. Each of the three locations was completely different and had such a laid back vibe. This is something that we will definitely do upon our return to the area. And I must give a shout out to Jessica and Carlos who was the hostess and our driver. 1000% professionalism was displayed even though we had a minor hiccup, Jessica handled it, like a true champion!

    Shawna and Carlos M. Were the best tour guides, asked us what we liked and they catered the tour to what we wanted. We wanted more time at certain wineries and they accommodated us and still kept us on track. They gave great recommendations for wine at each destination and even took us to a winery that had good food options since we asked. So fun and ABSOLUTELY worth it. Pizza included at the end at Black Market Brewery was a cherry on top! Highly recommend

    We had an awesome time. Met new friends, Mario and Alanah you the best ! We would definitely do it again this time with a bigger group

    We went on this tour today and we were lucky enough to end up with Erik as our guide and Nicole as our driver, both excellent. Erik was attentive with water, answering any questions, while being hands-off enough to let everyone enjoy. I will say, this is more of an incredibly fun drinking and tasting party than a tour of the winery and facilities and honestly that's what I was looking for too. Definitely recommend!

    This is not a "tour". This is what I'm telling people was a "booze-cruise". The Gist: -Visit 3 wineries, you have 45 minutes and 4-6 tastings at each winery. 45 minutes at a brewery. Rest of the time driving through wine country. -You do not have time to roam the grounds, or have a tour, it's just drink, drink, drink, move to the next one. Did not see a barrel, any storage facility, anyone who could tell us about the history of each place, or details of the wine we were drinking. Pros: -Wines were amazing, top-notch. -Despite the 3 stars, we saw what we got ourselves into, and leaned-into the experience. We did have fun, even though we had expectations of a different day. -Host and driver were very fun. It's not their fault this is a weird business model. Cons: -One person in our party doesn't drink. He was bored to tears just shuffling around for hours with drunk people. They didn't even offer him a soda or grape juice. Also, his ticket was $130, which I would have not agreed to do this trip had I known there would be NOTHING for him. - First 45 minutes of the trip was eating our lunch at 11am at a brewery. Not so good, considering we had a huge breakfast, expecting to eat lunch at around 1 or maybe 2pm, picnic-style at one of the wineries. I didn't pay for, nor want to see a bar that day (it was nice though) - None of the wineries knew we were coming. I felt pretty bad for the Sommeliers racing to assemble 20+ glasses and tasting cards in a panic. Made the tour feel like it was unprofessional and unpolished. Also, perhaps if the wineries knew ahead of time we were coming, they could have arranged for an actual tour? *owners take note!* Takeaway: This company has all the potential and exposure to be better. They even put in the effort to drive you around in a historical landmark on wheels (real cable car from San Francisco with an engine put in). But they've been doing this for years, so it appears they have no intention to change. So if you want to drink yourself to oblivion in a beautiful town, this is the tour for you. If you're expecting to learn things, see behind the scenes, and have a cultured afternoon, this is not for you. Maybe all wine tours in Temecula are like this, I don't know. So I got fooled if that's the case. Lesson learned: We should have just gone Direct to a Winery for a tour and paid $40 to $60 per person for a much more tailored-to-our-expectations experience.

    Black Market Brewing Co.

    Such an amazing experience! So grateful to my best friend for gifting me this wine tour! Our tour started off at Black Market Brewing Co, where we greeted with some rosé & checked in! We were provided our lunch (you get to choose while booking online). If you're not a beer drinker they also have other options including ciders! The cable cars are very spacious & has lots of seating options, one thing I will say is, if you're someone with long hair, a hair clip, hat, or hair tie is a MUST while the car is moving! Along the way to different vineyards we saw so many beautiful animals from sheep, horses, & longhorns! The weather was honestly perfect! We visited Somerset, Lorimar, & Bel Vino on our wine tour! Each location provided us 5-6 tastings each! The views were so amazing! Somerset offers sangrias! We purchased the original/classic, & it was delicious!! We also had the opportunity to taste wine straight from the barrel! I personally love sweeter wines, the Drunk Bunnies Muscat is so good! Lorimar such a gorgeous vineyard, & regularly has live music. The peach sparkling was very good, and surprisingly I enjoyed the Brute as well! We ended our tour at Bel Vino, although my bestie enjoys wines that are more dry & typically red we both LOVED their bubbly pineapple coconut, so much so that we both left with a bottle! Our driver Tonya was so sweet & definitely made us feel safe! Thank you again Tonya for getting us to & from everywhere & providing us a great experience! Our tour guide Aidan is seriously the hostess with the mostest! I cannot say enough great things about him! From our very first interaction with him, we knew this was going to be an incredible day! He is a Temecula local & really knows a lot about the history of this town! His energy is truly unmatched, from his playlist (a little bit of everything), to his extremely friendly demeanor, to his 10/10 dance moves! He really goes above & beyond! He checked in on us letting us know how much time we had left at each location, making wine suggestions, he was always at the cable car with a helping hand to help you on & off the car, he was super accommodating, he provided water, snacks, entertainment, etc. Being surrounded by good people can really make an experience like this so memorable, & Aidan did just that! Thank you Aidan for everything that you do! I cannot wait to book again!

    The lunch they serve is close to terrible. Luckily that was the only negative of this tour. Also, keep in mind you are able to purchase food at the wineries. Incase you want to hold out for that (which I would recommend). We visited 3 wineries, one was more beautiful then the other. At Maurice Car'rie the sourdough baked Brie is a must. At Somerset highly recommend they fresh sangria along with John Kelly chocolates in the orange flavor. Also, this was my fave winery out of the 3. Literally did not want to leave. The live entertainment here was awesome. Both the tour guide, and driver were great. Would def do this again.

    Ask the Community - Temecula Valley Cable Car Wine Tours

    Is this unbearably hot to do in late June? I'd like to arrange a tour for my mom's birthday but she's 80, so I wonder if it'll be too hot for her?

    It is hot and humid. Wait until fall

    Is the tour going to be available during Thanksgiving weekend?

    Yes, that's usually a pretty busy weekend.

    What time do you pick up at Pechanga resort?

    They don't do pickups at Pechanga. You'd have to drive to the meeting spot/start of the tour yourself.

    How much per person and are the number of wineries and already set? Thinking of a handful of us for mothers day.

    110 bucks

    The cable car only run Sat and Sun unless there is enough people. Is there a trend where cetain weekdays are likely to be higher?

    We are sorry but unfortunately we do not know which weekdays are better than others to take our 28 passenger San Francisco motorized cable car but our tour in our small limo bus is just as fun and the same price.

    This was the first Wine Tour I've ever been on, and it was such a memorable and fun experience…read more Grapeline provided us with transportation to and from the three different wineries we went to, provided a great lunch for us, and excellent service and vibes. Amanda and Dave (firefighter Dave!) were our tour guides for the experience, and both were incredible. They arrived on time and provided us with great commentary about the history of the wineries we were going to as we were driving up to them. They then dropped us off with the winery staff, who were amazing at all three wineries we went to. Overall, Amanda and Dave made it a great experience for me and the party I was with. We were celebrating our friend's birthday on this tour, and they made her feel special, which made it a great memory on this trip!

The individuals that were on the tour with me made it even more fun. Our tour guide and driver, Tony, was very knowledgable about the area, its history, and wine making. They texted me the night before and the day of the tour reminding about the pick date & time. I really appreciated that they offer transportation. Tony picked me up from the hotel, along with other individuals of the tour, and he also dropped us off at the end of the tour. The drive was really fun because Tony let us take over the aux. He's also very knowledgable about the area, so we learned a lot about Temecula's history and other wineries during the drive. At the end of the tour, Tony even gave us dinner recommendations based on our preferences. Thank you Tony! We visited three different wineries: Wilson Creek Winery, Cougar Vineyard & Winery, and Fazeli Cellars Winery. My favorite winery from the three was Wilson Creek Winery. We tasted 6 wines at Wilson Creek, 5 wines at Cougar, and 6 wines at Fazeli! We had a guided tour by "Motor City Mike" at Wilson Creek. He is an incredible teacher. He gave us a tour around the winery, educated us about viniculture and corks, and taught us about the Wilson's history. They also acknowledged my birthday by giving me a necklace with a cork on it. Such a sweet gesture. We did not have a guided tour at the other two wineries. Lunch was included. While booking on their website, you get to choose which sandwich you'd like. We ate lunch at the Cougar Vineyard & Winery. I chose the roast beef sandwich, and it comes with a side of salad and a brownie. The winery is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking. The best part is that they're pet-friendly! They even have adoption opportunities, and you can meet the puppies! I completely forgot the names of the wine I tasted, but I thought the wine was okay. Our last stop was at Fazeli Cellars Winery. The structure and outdoor area is very nice. Service is very courteous, attentive, and knowledgable. I thought it was unique because their wine contains interesting ingredients, especially the sweet wines. A friend I met on the tour ordered a flat bread, and we shared it. The flat bread was delicious and paired well with the wine. Highly recommend Grapeline Wine Tours! This was an unforgettable birthday experience. My only critique is that I prefer a guided tour at each winery because I'd like to learn more about its history, their own wine, and their own techniques in wine making.

I called first to ask if I could find out the wineries in advance since I already been to several and didn't want to repeat any. They did not know which wineries yet, (I called 3 weeks in advance) but Holly asked for the ones I visited previously and would see if she could book ones I never been to. Within 10 minutes, she texted me the list (Maurice Currie, Bella Vista and Falkner) for my preferred day and none of them were repeats! She text me the link for bookings and I instantly booked! Our tour started at 10am and the beautiful trolley arrived at 9:45am. Mailey was our host and D was our driver. Mailey kept the water flowing at each winery, and D had bottled water and snacks ready on the air-conditioned trolley. I honestly thought I might overdo it with the wine, but the water breaks and a little food I bought at one of the wineries kept me balanced (thank God!) On the ride back, Mailey played everyone's song requests. I, of course, asked for Prince, and we were grooving. It was a small crowd (about 10 or so other people) and they were great and outgoing folks. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I would definitely book again.
