It comes down to one thing — flexibility.
With the Temecula Tasting Shuttle, you’re free to explore wine country on your own schedule. Hop on and off throughout the day, visit the wineries you want, and stay as long as you’d like at each stop.Private tours follow a fixed itinerary, which means less freedom and more time spent waiting on others. Our shuttle lets you design your own experience — while also being a more cost-effective option.

Our hop-on, hop-off shuttle runs on a continuous loop through select wineries in Temecula wine country.

Start at one of our designated pickup locations, and throughout the day, you can:
  • hop off at any winery on the route
  • explore at your own pace
  • hop back on the next arriving shuttle
It’s designed to give you a seamless, self-guided wine tasting experience.

Advance booking is strongly recommended and required to guarantee your seat.

We do not guarantee availability for walk-ups, especially on weekends and peak seasons. Booking ahead ensures we have enough capacity and that your spot is secured for the day.
