What to Do on a Temecula Girls’ Weekend: Wine, Food & Vineyard Views

Planning a Temecula girls’ weekend? Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelorette party, reunion, or simply gathering your favorite people for a much-needed getaway, Temecula Wine Country offers the perfect mix of beautiful scenery, incredible food, award-winning wine, and unforgettable experiences.

Here’s how to plan the ultimate girls’ weekend in Temecula.

Start with Brunch and Bubbles

No girls’ weekend is complete without a little sparkle.

Kick off your day with a glass of sparkling wine (the sparkling rosé is a favorite around here when it’s available!) and a leisurely brunch surrounded by vineyard views. Temecula’s wine country atmosphere is all about slowing down, catching up, and savoring the moment.

A sparkling rosé or crisp brut paired with good conversation is the perfect way to begin your weekend.

Spend the Afternoon Wine Tasting

One of the biggest reasons visitors come to Temecula is, of course, the wine.

Rather than rushing from winery to winery, consider choosing a destination where you can truly settle in and enjoy the experience. Look for wineries that offer:

• Beautiful outdoor seating
• Wine flights and bottle service
• Elevated food options
• Live music
• Scenic views
• Comfortable spaces for groups

At Altísima Winery, guests can enjoy everything from tasting flights and seasonal wine releases to relaxing afternoons on the patio overlooking wine country.

Share a Charcuterie Board with a View

Some of the best moments of a girls’ trip happen around the table.

Order a beautiful charcuterie board, share a pitcher of sangria or a bottle of wine, and spend the afternoon catching up while overlooking the vineyards.

There’s no schedule, no rush, and no better backdrop for conversation than a sunny patio in Temecula Wine Country.

Enjoy Live Music and Golden Hour

As the afternoon transitions into evening, live music creates the perfect atmosphere.

Many Temecula wineries feature local musicians throughout the weekend, allowing guests to sip wine, dance, and enjoy the vineyard views as the sun begins to set.

At Altísima Winery, live music is a regular part of the experience, creating an energetic yet relaxed vibe that feels perfect for groups of friends.

Make Dinner an Experience

A memorable girls’ weekend deserves more than a quick meal.

Choose a winery restaurant where you can enjoy handcrafted cocktails, wine pairings, and a menu designed for sharing. Gaspar’s is open until 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and features live music all weekend long!

Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply enjoying time together, dinner in wine country is often the highlight of the weekend.

Plan Around Special Events

If your dates are flexible, consider planning your trip around one of Temecula’s seasonal winery events.

Popular experiences at Altísima include:

• Live music weekends
• Outdoor movie nights
• Member-exclusive parties
• Ongoing happenings like Vinyl & Vines + Taco Tuesdays
• Holiday events
• Food and wine pairing experiences

These events offer a fun way to experience the local wine scene while creating lasting memories with your group.

Stay Close to the Wineries

One of the best things about Temecula is that many vacation rentals are located right in the heart of wine country.

Look for accommodations that offer:

• Group-friendly layouts
• Outdoor gathering spaces
• Vineyard views
• Easy access to wineries and restaurants

This allows everyone to relax and enjoy the weekend without spending time driving around town. We especially love Temecula Hilltop, which overlooks Altisima winery!
