The misters on the back patio were just what the doctor ordered, and wow how beautiful the sunset was here. They gave each other a hard time while serving wines, it was adorable and inspirational to us, a 23 year anniversary couple. An extremely sweet couple worked there and had just celebrated their own anniversary. Our final stop was at Chapin Family Vineyards, where we had some of the best reds of our trip. We were a bit tipsy by the time tastings and lunch were over. The staff were very generous with wine pouring, I believe our last glass was on the house as an anniversary gift. Lunch at Fazeli was a Mediterranean meal. We purchased one called Uproar, another called Mayhem, and several other bottles of reds. Incredible service, excellent tastings, and innovative names of wines. He knew and even helped hire several other team members, including a girl serving tastings with Auburn hair (we called her Auburn) who's brother also worked at the winery. Our next stop was Fazeli Cellars, where we met the coolest tasting rep (ever), I believe his name was Gabe. Jordan even arranged a little Happy Anniversary treat for us. We tried (and purchased) numerous red wines and a few whites, and were given a short tour of the vineyard by Jordan (she was incredible in terms of customer service and knowledge of the winery).

Our first stop was Leoness Cellars, where we were the only the couple in this giant event room surrounded with wall-to-wall barrels. He was super professional and extremely knowledgeable of Temecula wineries.

My wife and I chose the private SUV tour for our anniversary trip and had an absolutely blast! Our guide, Bjorn, picked us up from Churon, where we were staying for the weekend.
