About Temecula

Temecula is a wine-country town in inland Southern California, with vineyards on rolling hills, an old Western main street and hot air balloons at dawn.

Temecula lies in Riverside County, inland from the Pacific, in a valley of gentle hills and vineyards. Old Town Temecula, along Front Street, keeps wooden storefronts, boardwalks and antique shops from its days as a stop on the Butterfield stagecoach route and a ranching centre. The town has grown around that core into a busy suburb.
