Such a great time! Have been to the Temecula wineries in the past, but always on my own -- decided to try a tour company that our hotel recommended, and so glad that we did! Michael Miles was our host/driver, and he was so nice and very informative. We visited Wilson Creek, Cougar for lunch, and ended the day at Maurice Car'rie with their yummy sourdough bread with Brie -- yummy! I will definitely use this tour group for my next wine tasting trip!

I was recommended the Grapeline Wine Tour from the Front Desk agent that checked me in at the Embassy Suites. I can confirm I really enjoyed the tour! 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.

Celebrated my cousin's birthday on this all day FUN wine tour. We explored 4 wineries all in the Temecula area. Our driver/ tour guide was Tanka. He quickly introduced himself when we were picked up. Which was professional, he was also friendly and welcoming. Glad we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about driving. Bus, was super clean and comfortable. Overall, GREAT experience!

My husband and I went on this tour for his birthday and it was amazing. Mike our tour guide was great and we went to some great wineries. Wilson Creek, Cougar and Triffle Pig. I also can't forget about Sugar Plum Chocolates and Petting Zoo. Thanks Grapeline for making a trip really special.

What a fun experience. Great tour guide, great driver, and even better wineries. We had a group of 14 people and had the best time with Vaughnmarie our guide and Jesse our driver.

Marge L.

David was amazing! He was early for pick up and very informative on the tour. He was helpful as well carrying the case of wine on to the bus. He was funny and great at taking the group to photo worthy locations. He took great pictures. He got us back home on time like he said he would. The bus was clean and comfy. Each person is able to plug in a usb cord to charge their phones/accessories. Each person can control their AC. The party can connect their music to the bus. The bus has cubbies for snacks, luggage. Grapevine takes care of the reservations at each winery. Great way to do wine country!

Grapevine Wine Tours is the TRUTH. Omg. I've never experienced a winery, so I was blown away by how well coordinated this experience was. Vaughnmarie was the woman who hosted us. She was such a sweetheart, extremely knowledgeable about the vineyards we were visiting along with the regions their wine varietals were from, gave spot on recommendations and had a surprisingly great playlist. Everyone on our tour was celebrating something: anniversaries, birthdays, friendship, etc so the vibes were superb. We started as strangers and ended as family. I highly recommend booking with Grapeline, especially as a first time tour. Not only will you have a great time with the company you keep/meet, but their wine pours are generous so you'll leave feeling oh so good! I can't wait to come back in the fall to hopefully see the grapes that grew in, maybe taste a few varietals and even do some grape stomping.

I went on my first wine tasting and it was with Grapeline Wine Tours. Long story short, I had an amazing time! The tour guides Amanda and Alex were very hospitable and fun! The wine was amazing of course and toward the end of the tour everyone was dancing having an awesome experience together. I'm definitely going to pick Grapeline next time and going to ask for Amanda and Alex, it was such a fun wine tour and I can't recommend it enough to friends and family.

Terry G.

Had a fabulous time. Mike was the best host/driver. Enjoyed his stories. The flow of the tour was perfect. Had just enough time at each winery and lunch was exceptional. Would absolutely do this tour again. Highly recommend!!!

This is my second time doing the tour and overall I'm pretty disappointed in the experience. Mostly I'm disappointed that we did not get the behind-the-scenes tour and that was what my friends are I were really looking forward to. We were told that due to the heat it was canceled which is understandable, but if they were going to cancel a portion of what we paid for then we should have been told ahead of time. The 4 wineries we went to didn't have anything special that was worth purchasing either and the pourers were just rushing back and forth for two of the wineries so it was difficult to ask questions. If I ever decide to give Grapeline a third chance I do hope they step it up

Yesterday Cindy Steffen, Stephanie Caldera and I took Cathy Duckett-Caldera to the Temecula wineries for a late 70th birthday celebration. It was Cathy's and Stefs first winery experience. We all had a blast The day started out with Grapeline wine tours picking us up at my house. Lizzie was our driver and we had a fun with her all day We've used this company numerous times so they keep track of what wineries we haven't been to. Lunch was included at Cougar winery Temecula has 51 wineries. When i first started going, Temecula only had a hand full It was meant to be as Grapevines first pick was the Truffle Pig Our favorite still is Europia. We wanted Cathy to see it. This vineyard has 3 separate wineries Spanish, Italian and French. So so pretty and their wine is so good!!

Belen G.

Had a tour on 2/5/26. Our guide Amanda was amazing and was very knowledgeable on all things wine and temecula. I recommend using this company as they set the bar high. Our lunch that was provided was also very good and filling. Thank you Grapevine for helping me celebrate Monica's Birthday!!!

Overall, our fun group of five had an absolute blast! Joanna was our guide. Chris was our driver. Joanna is AMAZING at quickly learning peoples names. We were super impressed with her. The beginning started out a bit sketchy and we wondered if we made the best decision to go with this particular tour. Here's why. First, We have a 10 AM departure from the "Stampede" parking lot in Old Town Temecula. Our departure time was changed very slightly the day prior. Unbeknownst to us, we were then dropped off at South Coast Winery. Boy were we excited, we just knew this would I have wine tasting extravaganza's...sadly, we quickly learned that it was not. We were only there to get off of one shuttle and board another. Here, more people boarded. We received our itineraries for the day and proceeded to at least 3 more hotels for more pick-ups. We visited Leoness, Cougar, Lorimar and Bella Vita. The first stop was at Leoness, the only place that included an actual tour, I preferred it that way. This seemed to be a crowd favorite. The highlight for me was the scenery and chocolate truffle. I enjoy sweet wines, so this tour wasn't my cup of tea. Onward to Cougar. This was my favorite (wine tasting wise) of the four. They have an AMAZING peach sangria. Of course, I took home a bottle of that. The Pink Cougar was also nice, I like that 10% of its proceeds go to cancer, so I purchased that as well. This is also where we had a filling lunch. My turkey club was yummy. My friends seemed to enjoy the Italian club, eggplant sandwich and Mediterranean salad. The bit part was the brownie. Save ur to pair with your wine tastings after lunch:) Next up were Bel Vino and Lorimar. Lorimar was a nice way to end. There was live music and the weather was perfect. Wasn't impressed with the wines and the service was a bit snotty. The day was wonderful. Two things that were small disappointments: 1. There were five of us and we would've loved the opportunity to request wineries as opposed to going to those which were pre-chosen. For the price, we should be able to do so. I wasn't thrilled about some of the wineries, but it was nice to gain exposure to two wineries that I would've never otherwise considered. 2. We weren't happy being told we had to sit in the five seats in the back of the bus. They were small and uncomfortable. Didn't make things any better being told by Joanna that they " normally don't seat people in those seats, they are usually reserved for peoples wine purchases...ouch!" Thanks for making us feel like chopped liver. Did we not pay the same price everyone else paid? Thank goodness everyone was pretty tipsy by the end of the day. We were all singing and laughs so loudly that it over-compensated for the terrible seating arrangements. read more

Krystal is amazing!! I decided to take a wine tour last minute for my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better day. Coming from Los Angeles we ran into a ton of traffic and we missed the first pick up so I called the tour line informing them that we missed the bus. Not only did they help me get to the second pick but the lady in the office stayed on the phone with me to make sure we made it there in time. Once we got in out seats the stress disappeared and I just knew this was going to be a great day....and it was. Krystal was very knowledgeable, personable, bubbly and just so much fun. Would I take this tour again??? ABSOLUTELY!! In fact I'm planing another trip with some friends next month. So thank you Krystal and Grapeline for an amazing day read more

I honestly haven't had a Grapeline tour that I didn't enjoy and I've been going for 10 years! The hosts are always so much fun and knowledgeable. I've only gone to the tours in Temecula so that's all I can speak to for this review and past experiences. Yesterday we had Caitlyn and let me just tell you, she's amazing! So sweet, adorable, friendly and informative. We were picked up at the Oldtown Stampede and as we drove through old town Temecula, Caitlyn pointed out historical buildings and sites and gave us the history on them, that was a first for me on this tour and I enjoyed it! On this full-day trip and we visited 4 wineries: Callaway, Lorimar, Cougar and Masia de la Vinya. It was my first time at Callaway, I had visited the others before; they were all great as usual. I like the casualness of the Temecula wineries and I love that the Grapeline handles the entire day so we can just enjoy! If you purchase bottles, the host stores them in a box with your name on it and distributes once the tour is complete. If you're looking for a great time in Temecula, you gotta book a trip on the Grapeline! And ask for Caitlyn! I know I'll be asking for her next time. I also plan on checking out another region, so stay tuned for an update! read more

This was my first wine tour ever and it turned out to be a wonderfully fun experience! Ben was our driver very friendly and informative. This was the best way to enjoy multiple vineyards and see Temecula. He gave us a great and clear break down for the day. Even turned the shuttle bus into a convertible! That made the ride so memorable. Whenever it was time for us to move on to the next vineyard Ben would give us a warning and allow us to finish up. Super patient and always making sure everyone had waters. My girlfriends and I had a fun day full of wine tasting. thank you to grapevine tours. read more

Just finished my second Grapeline tour this past weekend. The first was for my 40th in December of 2020. It was a private tour with lunch and it was amazing! This past weekend I had tried to book a private tour, but I was too late and there were no drivers left. So we went on one of the AM tours instead and it included a deli lunch at one of the stops. Our tour was an entirely different experience than my birthday trip- but it was still AMAZING! Such a great time! The driver and guide were both engaging and fun to talk to. Wineries aren't walking distance type things, so if you want to visit more than one and be driven around while you enjoy a glass or two or three, this is THE way to go! They also help move all your purchases for you... so that case of wine you buy at one of these awesome wineries makes it safely home. We had a great time and when I come back to Temecula, I will do it again :) read more

We have been doing Grape-line tours yearly for a few years now. We have never had a bad experience with them. Usually we find an AIRBNB locally and make it a weekend trip. The company is always so willing to accommodate getting picked up from the address we are staying. The bus ride to and from each stop makes the tour so enjoyable. The ride is comfortable and they play great music while on the road. The hosts are always extremely communicative and make first timers or seasoned wine tasters feel at ease. We just came from another trip yesterday, 2/25/23. We did a Shorter tour this time and chose to do the afternoon departure. Parking and getting onto the bus was extremely easy. Our host was Chris G. And we can't say enough about him! His smile and demeanor make you feel so comfortable around him and he has a great energy. He was mingling with the group and we had a great day talking with him. If you ever have the chance to take a tour with Chris G. you won't be disappointed! We will continue to come back every year for sure! read more

The experience was great! The day included a visit to four wineries. Right from the start, our host, Lonzo, was amazing! He had a great energy and gave brief history of Temecula and Wine Country. It was evident that he was very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and its history. From winery to winery, Lonzo ensured that we were enjoying the experience and even provided recommendations for wines and wine/dessert pairings. We were celebrating a birthday this weekend, and he made sure that the birthday was celebrated just right by adding little surprises at our lunch stop. Lonzo also let us play our preference of music upon request. If you are looking for a really great experience with a great guide, this experience + Lonzo is it!!

This was my 2nd time on the Grapeline and I'll never try another wine tour company! They are consistent: they are early to each pick up location, so friendly, and each stop at the wineries were so seamless. No waiting around wondering what to do next. Our tour guide Jeff and our driver Debbie were the absolute BEST. We had a BLAST! Despite being "those" rowdy guests having a really good time! I researched a ton of other wine tours in Temecula and the Grapeline was truly the best value for the price! I would HIGHLY recommend using Grapeline in Temecula!! read more

Back in October, I booked this tour for 4 of us. Calling multiple times to make sure it was covid friendly and that we would be be sitting separately and I was ensured all times that I had nothing to worry about. The van would be empty, the wineries would seat us on different tables. I felt comfortable booking and bringing my close friends with me on this. So when the tour began, we were horrified to see all that was a lie. Nothing they promised was real. I just couldn't believe someone would do that in a time like this. I even explained to the man on the phone that we had someone immune compromised. It was like a nightmare, the whole time I was worried. For me, my sister and my friends. 100000% I would never recommend this to anyone. Something about lying to your potential customers and putting them at risk for a couple bucks? It's not ok. We left the tour. And not very surprising, we got sick. I can't even begin to explain the guilt I had for being the one that booked and telling my girls that it would be ok. THANKGOD we got the regular flu and not covid. The biggest slap in the face, calling them and telling them we are experiencing symptoms, and how we left the tour because of their lies and them offering us 50% off credit. I honestly can't even wrap my head around it. They kept us on the phone for over an hour, asking and probing for contact tracing which we totally respect but to end it with a damn credit? Also I NEVER GOT THE CREDIT. No matter how you look at it, what Grapeline did was not ok. For a mom and pop business, pretty ruthless and cutthroat. To lie to your face, put you in harms way and offer a 50% off credit. Idk, tbh I don't want the credit. Never did. But it's the principle. Their actions speak volumes read more

How long do you get at each winery and after the tasting can you purchase a glass of wine or lunch?

typically it is 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on what activities are included a the winery (lunch, insider tour, etc.). Yes, you can purchase a glass of wine at most wineries, but that varies at each winery.

What wineries participate in the tastings?

I've been on this great tour twice and both times I visited different wineries except for one twice. This is a wonderful tour you won't great booking. Cougar wineries was the one I visited on both tours.

If I have a PM Tour starting at 2:30.. what time will it be done? Do they serve food? How much will you be consuming? Will I be able to drive he after?

Our PM tour came with a charcuterie box for each person. It was done at about 6:15. You probably won't be able to drive depending on how generous the wineries are. One of our stops did 5 practically full glass pours lol

Will you pick up at our Airbnb?

As long as the address is in Temecula, they'll pick you up and drop you off, just provide them with the address as soon as you can. Have so much fun, it's a blast!

Are dogs allowed on the tours?

While many of the wineries were dog friendly, I'm not sure a pup could be taken on the bus. I would call Grapeline directly. They answer on the first ring and are very helpful.

With that being said we also had a fun! They adapted to our riders on the tour. It was a mix of what we thought were quiet reserved personalities, friends, couples and families. They kept our purchases and personal items safe so we didn't have to carry them around all day. Gathered the forgetful and happy tourist back to bus to keep us on time. The music on trolley had variety of range for everyone. During the trolley tour all had bonded and became very comfortable with each other. On the way back to hotel everyone feeling happy and relaxed enjoyed themselves bobbing our heads and dancing to the mix of music provided. Although I may never see our group.

Tastings are $25 for six pours on weekdays and $30 on weekends, and you can choose any six wines from the list--including red or white sangria, which was unique. The setup is self-guided, so you can wander the property, sit wherever you'd like, and return to the tasting bar whenever you're ready for your next pour. Unfortunately, that's where the experience slowed down. There was only one person serving, and with about 10 people in line, every refill meant another long wait. As for the wines, they just didn't wow me (of course, that's purely my personal opinion). The standout was the Syrah. We also tried the cheesecake = Overall, the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere were positives, but the long waits and average wines made the experience fall short of what I'd hoped for.

Five Stars for the company, but Six Stars for our Grapeline "Host," Ray. More on Ray later. I treated my visiting parents to a day of wine tasting on The Grapeline, which I didn't really want to do because1) I like wine but not enough to spend a whole day of my life tasting it and 2) I would rather just drive to the wineries and save a little money to buy Bass Ale later. OK, I was completely wrong. First, the only thing I didn't like about spending the day winery-hopping was that it was over so quickly. Why do wineries shut down at 5pm just when you're really getting hooked? Second, the price we paid for what we got was a surprising bargain. The four of us did the Vineyard Picnic Tour, a six-hour day which includes a catered picnic lunch of your choice and wine tasting at four wineries. We paid only $88 per person on a Sunday (it's the same on weekdays but $10 more on Saturdays), which is not much more than we would have spent for the tastings and lunch. Factor in the money the Grapeline discount pass saved us on wine purchases (and some expensive gift shop stuff the ladies just had to have), and I think we may have actually saved money. Now add in the cool extras and special treatment we received either because we were with Grapeline or because Ray is a rockstar out there, and I have to admit the tour I didn't want to do was a remarkable value. Back to Ray... he was funny, attentive, and really "made the day" for my mother who was celebrating her birthday. Ray got on a knee and sang to her (well!) in front of the rest of the shuttle riders, and later had Rosie Wilson from Wilson Creek Winery say happy birthday to my mother and sign a bottle of their famous and outrageously popular Almond Champagne for her (Mom will never open it). We joined groups from other shuttles to eat lunch at Wilson Creek Winery (beautiful creek-side park-like setting) where one of Rosie Wilson's son's emceed our tasting, sharing notes about each wine as well as stories about their family winery. Later in the day, we spoke to some people who had driven themselves and they didn't have nearly as good a day as we did. The DD (you'll need one after a few wineries) was bummed that he had to hold back, they had to wait 1 1/2 hours for a table at a restaurant compared to our catered lunches being served immediately, and they didn't get to see any behind-the-scenes stuff or meet any winery owners like we did. Overall, the wineries we visited, the other people on our shuttle who were instantly easy to get along with, the sunny but cool and breeezy day, and the Grapeline service combined to make one of the more relaxing and fun days I can remember. I'm not sure if our particular day was unusually teriffic, but I'll be trying The Grapeline out again soon to find out. read more

He shared fascinating stories and insights about each winery we visited, making the tastings even more enjoyable. His passion for wine was contagious, and he made sure that everyone on the tour felt engaged and excited about each stop.

Dear Grapevine Wine Tours Team, I wanted to take a moment to share my heartfelt appreciation for the unforgettable Harvest Celebration experience on Sunday, November 2nd. From start to finish, the tour was nothing short of spectacular--thanks to Liz, our exceptional host, and Mali, our wonderful driver. Liz's energy, passion, and knowledge brought the entire experience to life. From historical insights about the vineyard owners to engaging storytelling and spontaneous moments of song and dance, she turned a long day (9:30 a.m. pickup, 10 a.m. start through 5 p.m.) into pure joy. Her warmth and enthusiasm never wavered, and she made everyone feel welcome and celebrated. Mali was equally outstanding--professional, kind, and hospitable throughout the day. Her driving was seamless, and her friendly spirit added to the fun, relaxed atmosphere on the bus. While our first vineyard stop experienced a minor delay in wine service, the setting was breathtaking, and Liz's grace and leadership quickly transformed the moment into something positive. The rest of the tour ran beautifully, and the team's efforts to make up for lost time with additional tastings were greatly appreciated. This was my third Grapevine Wine Tour--after wonderful experiences with Michael (September 20th) and Mindy (October 18th)--and I didn't think it could get better. Yet Liz surpassed all expectations. Honestly, there were moments when I found myself eager to get back to the bus simply because the energy, laughter, and connection were that much fun. If I return to Temecula, I will absolutely be requesting Liz again. She is phenomenal and represents your company with excellence. Warm regards, Holly Landis read more

We recently booked a wine tasting tour in Temecula through Grapeline Wine Tours to celebrate our friends Sean and Jessica's upcoming wedding. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Our coordinator, Lori, was fantastic! Her communication throughout the process was excellent, and she accommodated a few special requests with ease. She creatively titled the event, "Sean & Jessica's... Last Fling Before the Rings!" and put together an elegant itinerary that we will all cherish as a memory of this wonderful day. Our group of 4 couples was in great hands with our driver, Mike M. He was punctual, very knowledgeable about the region's wines, and did an excellent job keeping us on schedule throughout the day. We opted for the bus with the convertible top, and with temperatures in the mid-80s and low humidity, it was well worth the cost. Mike thoughtfully closed the top each time we got off the bus so the seats wouldn't get too warm--a very considerate touch. Lunch at Cougar Winery was a delightful surprise. Despite none of us having visited before, the deli on-site served some surprisingly delicious food. The itinerary included stops at Masia de la Vinya Winery and Peltzer Winery. Masia de la Vinya quickly became our favorite stop--the wine there was simply superb. We were also very impressed with how much Peltzer Winery has matured over the years. Gone are the days of the bread and wine pairings, but their wine remains top-notch. Overall, Grapeline Wine Tours, Lori, and Mike M. made this a truly memorable experience. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to enjoy a perfect day of wine tasting in Temecula! read more

Your Grapeline driver, Amanda, helped make my birthday THE BEST! On 12/22/23, my husband and I booked a driver and vehicle to celebrate my birthday on the actual day visiting various tasting rooms in Temecula. Amanda was waiting for us outside the hotel lobby early (bonus points) wearing a necklace of Christmas lights and a smile! She immediately wished me a happy birthday. My husband and I had a loose plan in mind but were totally open to Amanda's suggestions. She 100% supported our first choice and she walked us in and got us all set up. The people at Wiens knew her and connected us with a fabulous employee for our tasting. They even gave us some discount cards. We ended up becoming members. Amanda took us to our lunch spot, offered to take a bunch of photos of us (at every location), and then suggested two other tasting rooms that were just fantastic! Fun, beautiful, lively, cool, great employees, and tasty wine. We had such a wonderful day with Amanda. We didn't want it to end, but all good things MUST come to an end. She took us back to the hotel and gave me a scrumptious little cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. How did she know that's my all time favorite cake place?!? Because of Amanda, we will be back in Temecula soon IF she's available to hire again. Thanks for making my special day even more special! Happy New Year to you and your family. read more

Booked the Sonoma tour with my fiancé on 12/17/16. The tour van arrived promptly at our hotel (Fairmont Mission) and we were immediately greeted by our driver and amazing tour guide LANCE. The van was clean and the seats were very comfortable. Lance was an entertaining and knowledgable guide. His British accent added even more to his charm. We stopped at Sebastiani, Deerfield, Imagery, and Benzinger. All 4 wineries were excellent and unique. Lunch was included and it came from The Girl and the Fig which was very tasty. Lance provided excellent tidbits about wine making and the region in general on the van drives between wineries in his own entertaining way. He even provided recommendations on places he likes to eat in town. We know he practices what he preaches because on our way out of Sonoma we stopped at one of his recommendations for breakfast and saw him there (Barking Dog Cafe, which had excellent coffee and sandwiches). You really get a lot for your money with this tour as it is a 6 hr event. We stayed in Sonoma for 3 nights and San Francisco for 4 nights and the Grapeline Tour was the highlight of our vacation. Great experience and great tour guide in Lance. Glad we were able to see him again on our way out of Sonoma. read more

Beyond wonderful service beginning to end of our experience! It all started with the operator who took our reservation over the phone. She answered all our questions and was excited to know we were celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday. I'm sorry I forgot her name but she had a sweet southern accent and personality to match. Then we had the best time with our driver/host Mike Miles! He arrived early to pick us up from our hotel. Mike was extremely informative and witty having done these tours for 21 years! Mike shared lots of knowledge about the Temecula Valley wineries and a quick overview of how to taste wine. He gave great recommendations as to which wines to try at each of the wineries we visited. The picnic lunch that was provided with the tour was delicious. We noticed how nicely our table was set up and my daughter's lunch was adorned with a fun personalized birthday message and lei with a wine cork. It made her feel really special. We found out later that Mike had gone through the extra trouble to set up our table and provide the sweet message and lei for my daughter. We will definitely recommend Grapevine wine tours to all our family and friends and to specifically ask for Mike Miles as your driver/host read more

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience we had with your company. From the very beginning, your communication was seamless and your instructions clear, which made the process effortless and enjoyable. The selection of wineries was absolutely perfect--exactly what we were hoping for. My sister and I had such an amazing time exploring, tasting exquisite wines, and truly immersing ourselves in the beauty and charm of Temecula. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and genuine appreciation for the region's culture and hospitality. I also want to take a special moment to highlight Amanda--wow, what an absolute gem she is! She was phenomenal from start to finish: knowledgeable, engaging, and so naturally attuned to when to step in, offer insight, or simply let us enjoy the moment. She has a gift for making people feel both cared for and completely at ease. By the end of the tour, it truly felt as though we had gained a new friend. Thank you, Lori, and thank you to Amanda for helping make our annual sisters' trip one we will always remember. It was such a joy, and we're already looking forward to joining you again in the future. Warmest regards, The Sisters read more

I just wanted to give a shout out to Grapeline Wine Tours for such a fun and awesome experience. From the very start Lori, who is the event coordinator, was so easy to work with and help plan the best day for the Bride to be. She set us up with a private van and tour guide and planned our whole day out from top to bottom, with an Itinerary attached. Which included 4 incredible wineries in Temecula!! Everyone at each winery was soo nice and welcoming!! Shout out to Rhett, Jim, Holly, and Michael Angelo!!! But I do have to give it to our driver, Tanka, who made the trip even better than we expected. From letting us jam out to our own music, while screaming it at the top of our lungs, driving us safely from each winery and back home, pulling the top back on the van to make it a convertible, having us hair ties to put our hair up with, since we were cruising with the top down, to getting us this famous Brie that he loves so much, and always having a smile on his face. Tanka, we can't thank you enough for making our day unforgettable!! And to Grapeline Wine Tours and Lori, thank you again for making our day so special for our Bride to be! From~~The Texas girls!! read more

On January 3rd, my wife and I participated in a wine tour in celebration of our 10th wedding anniversary. As it turned out, we were the only ones signed up that day, something I'm told never happens. I initially was surprised that Grapeline didn't cancel or move the trip as I'm sure that shuttling only us was not profitable for them. Nonetheless, Mike Nordskog showed up with a smile on his face and away we went! Mike was more than good to us. As a newbie to the wine world, Mike took my ignorance and timidity and made me feel like a veteran! His knowledge of wine is incredible but he also made us feel like friends as we discussed life, kids, and our pasts. As we finished our tour, Mike surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a signed copy of a "beginners" wine book that he himself contributed to, all wrapped together in a gift bag and bow! In spite of the trip not being profitable for him or Grapeline, Mike spent his own money on this to ensure we had the most memorable 10th anniversary possible! I have already recommended this trip and Mike to a number of friends and we will be returning. I don't know how anyone could have made this trip better. Thanks! read more

We planned a half-day wine tour for our family and friends the day after our wedding. The majority of our guests are from Los Angeles, so we wanted to have something special for them to do following the big day. We planned our tour with Lori. Lori was great to work with and always answered our questions in a timely manner. We chose the half-day (2:15-6:15) tour. We had three tastings in that time. They will take requests for winery visits, however getting those wineries will depend on the size of your party and what can be accommodated. We requested Callaway and South Coast, both of which we were able to visit. The third was one that we did not know, Falkner, but ended up being very enjoyable as it was closed to the public for our party. The bus they transport you on is nice and cool, and you get control over the music. You can also bring drinks on the bus! Our tour guide was Collin and he was great. He made dinner recommendations, and even called for the reservation for us! He was very fun and upbeat during our trip. We had a great time with Grapeline and would definitely use them again for any wine tasting in South/Central California! read more

601 reviews and still FIVE stars??? The only way for you to understand why this is, is to go on one of their tours. These people are above and beyond. Literally every single time I've taken them, the experience has been better than the last. They are by far the kindest people. They don't get caught up in stupid policies and procedures. They treat you like you're family. They go out of their way to try to accommodate every little need. I've never experienced such service in all my years. These are the best people I have ever worked with. They are kind, caring, and thoughtful. Every single person on their staff is awesome at what they do. They always go out of their way to be kind and helpful. Special shout out to Amy. You are just plain awesome. We're so glad that we stole you away from Temecula and got you in Santa Barbara! Can't wait until our next trip which is in a couple of weeks! Please please please keep up the wonderful work you do. If you love to go winetasting, if you've never been winetasting, or even if you're just looking for something cool to do...call these people up and book a tour! read more

On August 31, 2024, at 2:15 PM, Liz and Tanka conducted an exceptional tour. They created a lively atmosphere on the bus, demonstrating their personable nature and providing excellent music. Liz ensured we remained hydrated by offering water and shared insightful historical information about each vineyard. They were punctual and effectively maintained our schedule. We particularly enjoyed Mount Palomar Winery, while our appreciation for the other two, Maurice Carrie and Somerset, was somewhat less pronounced, although all were visually stunning. The wines varied in character; we found Mount Palomar's offerings to be smoother, whereas the others were a bit more robust, which ultimately depends on individual preference. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to relax and let someone else handle the driving, allowing us to fully enjoy our day and the wine. Additionally, Maurice Carrier provided a charcuterie board alongside our wine, which was included in our package. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would certainly consider booking again. Thank you Liz and Tanka. read more

Went on a tour this Sunday, as kind of last minute plans for Memorial day weekend. (this is my third time touring with Grapeline) Was able to get a reservation. Ended up being a total of 6 people, it was myself, hubby and 2 other couples. It was a real fun group! This was my first time trying the later tour (the one that start at about 2p and goes till about 6p). I liked it! Gave us time to have breakfast and start our day before going wine tasting. Instead of lunch, we got charcuterie boards, tasty and not too, too filling so it didn't weigh us down but also made it so we ate something while we were drinking. Our tour guide was Amanda! She was fantastic! She has a truly warm and fun personality. Was there to help coordinate the fun for the day. Had fun things to talk about on the bus, played great music and made it for another fun wine tasting afternoon/evening. Thank you. If you're gonna try out a tour company when in Temecula, this is that will be truly enjoyed! Good fun and value for the money too! Thanks again Amanda and Grapeline! read more

Last weekend, the franchise I work for hosted a Wine Tour for our clients through Grapeline Wine Tours. I worked with Lori, who fine-tuned the details and made sure to include the wineries our advisors preferred - a personal touch that was very much appreciated. It was very easy to get a hold of her with any questions we had, and she was very kind and accommodating throughout the entire process. On the day of the event, our host was Randy. He was great, fun, and focused - sometimes abrupt, but that got the ball rolling and made sure everyone stayed on track. Everyone could regroup promptly and move on to the next winery. Randy also inserted himself in the experience and served us on the tour bus, which was above and beyond what he need to do, and we really appreciated that. He truly was wonderful. We would love to have him as a host again. Overall, this was a wonderful experience for our company and for our clients, and this is definitely something we will do again in the future. Thank you, Grapeline! read more

Living fairly close to the Temecula wineries, we've often taken a Sunday ride to explore them. We decided this time to spend two nights in a local hotel and take advantage of a wine tour, both to see more of them as well as to more enjoy the tastings without having to worry about driving back and whatnot. We decided to go with Grapeline, and can honestly say it was a five out of five experience. Melissa arrived with the shuttle at the front door of our hotel on time and was absolutely fantastic! She was equal parts driver, tour director, teamster, comedian and maître d', with a little bit of mother hen thrown in as well. The wineries selected that day were all first rate, and aside from the wine, have some amazing scenery to take in while relaxing after the wine tastings are complete. I guess the best compliment I can give is that, being fairly close to Temecula aside, we will be going back out with Grapeline Tours again, and will absolutely be requesting a tour with Melissa again as well. read more

From start to finish, our wine tour was incredible and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver David!. Not only was he an expert on the area and the wineries we visited, but he also had such a fun and welcoming personality that made the day even better. He kept the energy high, shared interesting facts without overloading us, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. It was my wife's birthday, and another guests birthday on the tour and David made sure he not only had everyone sing them happy birthday but he made them feel special. His driving was smooth and safe, and he managed to keep us perfectly on schedule without ever making the day feel rushed. You could tell he truly enjoys what he does, and his passion for both wine country and people shone through the entire tour. If you're booking a wine tour, you're going to want this driver! knowledgeable, fun, and simply amazing! He turned what would have been a great day into an unforgettable experience. Thanks David! read more

We had an amazing experience with Grapeline Tours! There were four of us, and we booked the private driver option. Our itinerary was perfect--we started at Oak Mountain Winery, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Cave (which is an actual cave and such a unique experience!). From there we visited Fazeli Winery, then Lorimar, where we got to enjoy fantastic live music, stopped by The Sugar Plum Zoo, and finished the day at Wilson Creek. The highlight of the entire experience was our driver, Chief Tony. He was absolutely amazing! He kept us engaged all day and was incredibly knowledgeable about Temecula Wine Country, the wineries, and the area in general. His friendly personality, great recommendations, and entertaining conversation made the day even more memorable. Everything was seamless, relaxing, and so much fun. We couldn't have asked for a better way to experience Temecula wine country. Highly recommend Grapeline Tours--and if you get the chance, request Chief Tony! read more

My girlfriend and I have been going on this tour consistently for 2-3 years now sometimes taking the tour more than once a year and I must say that every time we go we have an absolutely fun day. All the tour guides have something interesting and fun to say or tell us about the area and wineries not to mention events in the area to enhance our experience after we get done with the tour. This last trip with Shell and Lando (driver, and yes I asked him if his last name was Calrissian cuz I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan) was to date our best. Not only did Shell go out of her way to make my girlfriend feel special (yes it was her birthday) but she did so to all the birthday girls and I believe there were 3 all together. She was never without a simile or fun fact about the area or wine in general. Lando was also never without a smile. We have told all our friends and will continue to support the Grapeline Tour, keep up the stellar work!!! read more
