Enjoy
a great romantic weekend getaway in one of the South
Coast Winery Resort and Spa’s 76 luxurious villas
while sampling some of the wines hat have earned the
winery the honors of Best California State Winery
of the Year for 2008 and 2009.
One of the vineyards surrounds the villas and you
can eat grapes off the vine from your patio.
Founded in 2003, the property also features a full-service
day spa and salon, the Vineyard Rose restaurant,
and numerous year-round concerts and events. With
an annual case production of 65,000, the talented
winemaking team of Jon McPherson and Javier Flores
certainly keep busy.
Grapes for South Coast Winery are grown in the valley
of Wild Horse Peak, on the eastern side of Mount
Palomar, 2,200 feet above sea level. The extra sunshine
the area receives helps produce exceptional grapes
for these award-winning wines.
One wine not to miss: Black Jack
Port - a blend of 85% Zinfandel, 10% Alicante Bouschet,
and 5% Malbec.

South Coast Winery Temecula |
| After
a long day of wine tasting, guests can delight in
a delicious dinner at the Vineyard Rose. Some local
favorites are the tropical scallop and shrimp ceviche,
and the lobster ravioli. The servings were huge and
can definitely be shared.
The raviolis were brimming with fresh lobster, and
the cream sauce is heavenly without feeling too heavy.
For dessert, you can try the crème brulee.
Each menu item has a featured wine pairing, which
really makes for a brilliant meal.
